That is a good question. I think with careful packing we can fit all books in. They are flat and would fit under the seats if worse came to worse. Even with the back seat in I still have considerable cargo storage in the trunk. I would say that we should limit our personal effects other than books to small backpack/duffle bags no larger than an airline carryon. I only plan on bringing my hardbacks for him to sign, but we can find room for paperbacks too.

Also the "modest pajamas" regulation is coming from the person formerly known as The 4th Floor Dorm Nudist. So it was to remind myself as well. And to allay any fears on the part of blacwolves parents and other such unsuspecting types.

I believe it is illegal to drive in the nude. Plus even a true nudist (which I'm not, I just have the nickname) would be crazy to be unclothed in November in Ohio. It's too dang COLD!!!

We can all drive together, I'm fairly certain that would forestall most objections. We'll confer tonight and decide.

Banna I agree that you should wait on making reservations. However you may want to call a few places down there and see if there are any major sporting events for that weekend, like UC Vs. Kentucky baskedball. I would hate to see you all drive down and then not get a room.

While you all are in town, I higly recommend that you give some of our local tastes a try. Skyline Chili or Larosa's Pizza or great. For a more pricey dinner, you could go for montgomery inn ribs.

My brother and his friends have driven to Skyline Chili (from Lexington) many times, most at odd hours in the morning. I hear it is quite tasty.

thats about status quo for cincinnati! (this is coming from a cincinnatian)
I love my city, but lately we seem to have gotten a lot of bad publicity. From the reds and bengals, to a scout leader on survivor. And then a crying bachelorette on the bachelor. awwww!

Meltingsnowman and I will be driving down on our own, staying with you guys (if that's ok?) and coming to m^2's for lunch the next day, assuming we do that. This is pending extremely likely parental approval. Raia will be coming with us, pending extremely unlikely parental approval.

Fantastic! THanks for the events update. I need to go get my AAA membership renewed so we can get a AAA discount at whatever motel six we stop at.
blackwolve, will you meet us to caravan down or at the bookstore, and if you are meeting us to caravan, where, in Indy or W. Lafayette?

Ok time is drawing near. I read on the other side of this forum when OSC was at a convention recently they were limiting people to two books. Will that be an issue here?
I'm having my tonsils out next week so I'll probably be on the computer a lot to distract me from my misery. I'll try to get more details worked out then.
Hatrack ladies, we didn't discuss this at all at the slumber party, so I need more input.
posted
ok, i think you're picking up hobbes and i at my place, as it's on the wayish. what time will that be at? we might want to get there early enough to check into the hotel first.
where are we staying?
what was the final list on who's going?
i'm hoping the two book limit thing doesn't apply as i have more than 2 things to get signed for other people.

Celia I hope to have the answers to all your questions in the next week. Especially on the "who's going" You and Hobbesy are definitely coming with me. Other than that, i'm not sure and I would aprreciate hearing from people. (Christy, xnera etc.)
posted
Thanks, when it gets a bit closer I'm sure there will be a new thread to discuss final plans. I usually have to wait on my wife's work schedule to plan events like this and she gets it only a week in advance.

No, we're driving on our own, since it's going to be really out of your way and there will hopefully be four of us. We just want to stay with you, sharing costs of hotel rooms and all. And hang out with you, and everything else. Unless you don't want us, of course.

Sorry, only one msquared on fire experience a year. The lady who does it only posts on Ornery and I know that with her schedule she will not be able to make it.

I suppose that since I am a member at Ornery I could go... even if I'm in uber-lurker status there, but I think I'll have other places to travel to this summer. Sorry.

As the time draws nigh it looks like I won't be able to make it after all. Thanks to Dead Horse for the offer to drive me part of the way.

Honestly, I haven't figured out how to get the money to go, either. My truck broke down Wednesday. AAA towed it to the mechanic I like, and he fixed it Thursday, but I don't have the $115 to get it back. I hope it works out by then.

bump for the address of the Barnes and Noble. I'm calling the bookstore today and going to ask for 9numbers. According to information I typed earlier but forgot about they start handing the numbers out at 3pm
posted
Well, I'll certainly be there now. Guessing it's a wee bit too late to try to get in on that group with the numbers. So I'm just trying to figure out how (and/or) if I'll be able to recognize any of you. If left to my own devices I'll probably slink in and slink out without actually talking to anyone. Anyhow, in case there's anyone trying to organize up with folks, I'll be a mid 20's ish 6 foot white guy with medium short brown hair, and medium build (like that's not a common description ). I'll be carrying a copy of Treason in addition to my Crystal City, and I'll generally be alone. Oh, and I answer to the name Mike (which is also very uncommon, right?)

I wish I could come. The car is fixed (for the 3rd time since the beginning if this thread. But I have no money for gas and there is a church Thanksgiving dinner party tomorrow night.
Have fun, everyone, and drive carefully. Rain

I went to the Dayton signing yesterday and I just have to say the Cards are two of the nicest people ever. I had a great time listening to OSC speak and it was also nice to meet some Hatrackers. So anyways, I was just posting to say have a greta time today! Posts: 1294 | Registered: Oct 2003

Happy, I told the woman 9 or 10 people to allow for leeway. So we may have a spare number available. I'm blond with slightly higher than shoulder length hair and going to be wearing a light blue turtleneck shirt.
