me u and jase.... wholly heck this is gonna be a blast... MJ you need to be in our room... CUDDLE fest 2010!!

Cool.

MJ, you are more than welcome to cuddle with us.

I'm not a Browns fan at all, but I would like to see them turn it around, if for anything just to get some respect for Ohio.

Our football teams don't have much respect at all.

Bengals, who ever really knows what is going on with them, Browns, just a losing mentality most of the past 50 years. OSU, love them and they are winners, except for big games(lately). Most people outside Ohio hate OSU though.

Ohio is a big football state, nearly the fan frenzy and reputation of Texas.

We just need some big level teams to back that up.

I'm a Dolphins fan, I'm liking what Parcells has done so far.

Hopefully Holmgren can do similiar for Cleveland. I don't think he is on the same level as Parcells, but I don't think he is a Belichick lackey either like the past few slouches that have been here.

Super 8 in Strongsville seems the closest and cheapest. $83 for 2 beds.

I went ahead and reserved a room there already. So I guess check into this place if you are looking, would be cool to all get the same place, throw mattresses off the roof and all that jazz.

Moose, I'm assuming you are with me, have room for more, just let me know wants to cuddle.

Fuck changin location. We are stayin with Buddy's. They have the perfect setup for us, but I wanna take over the entire bar this time not just the top deck

I'm with you. A few minutes to a room are not going to matter. We have DD's and can take cabs.

Guess we pissed around too long. There are no rooms available at the Hojo or Sleep Inn in Brunswick that Saturday. Any other suggestions? There are a few in Medina and Elyria, how far is that from Buddy's? What is Buddy's address, may be easier to search for something with that.

I haven't played it too much, but when I did, I would use around 10 frames of various exposures. You can get something decent from 3, but the more frames allow more detail. If shot RAW(maybe other files too), you can also change exposures on a good shot and and combine the multiples from that as well.

I am gonna bunk down with jags and kawi I guess... if we ever get a room decided on...

I'll throw in with you guys if you want. Need me to book a room?

I saw this yesterday, thought it was pretty sweet.

do we win a car when we hit 1000000 posts?

Nah, probably get a reason to start having dues; all that bandwidth has got to be costing Ben a pretty good chunk out of his pocket.

I'd be cool with that.

I would rock that. Is the Paypal donation link for the tickets, or it is just to donate? I know I'm not going to win and don't mind throwing some cash to a good cause, but I may as well grab some tickets too.

sure, why not?

I'm in for this 100%. Did we pick a hotel and crap yet?

bump, he's moving up fast, vote again, if you feel like it.

Nice. haven't seen these before. Would like to see it person. Wonder what they will cost and if they will be available here. Pretty unique.

Miniature Dachshund?? WTF? Isn't that a little redundant?

I'm just sayin....

BTW, I voted anyway

Kinda, but there are Mini and standards. The mini's are less than 11 lbs.

The standards are usually above 16 lbs.

If he was next to a standard, he still look like a tiny puppy.

I never thought I would like a small dog until we got him, now he's my best friend.

voted

that contest is rigged...number 9s name is "Teddy"...wtf

yeah, I think so too.

So my ex put our dog in a "Fabulous Pet Names" contest, I thought it was cool.

He is a Miniature Dachshund, and I named him "Dozer Von Puppypants", you know, him being German and all.

Anyway, I think it's a cool and unique name, and he's climbing fast. The person in the lead must have a bot running or something, But we figure if we can start spreading the link around, maybe we catch up or at least get in the top 10-20 for fun, maybe some other pet contest will see it or some crap like that.

So if you can take 10 seconds and vote for him, I would appreciate it, and you can vote once a day, so if you think about it, keep it going. Thanks!

Dozer says please....

I think I can do the 19th.

Be with family out of town. . Sorry, Dave.

I thought New Orleans was a shithole last time I was there. Glad you like it there though.

when were you there? I was there over the summer, most of it was nicer now than when I was there before Katrina.

New Orleans is a unique city, if you like modern, up to date, hustle and bustle, yeah, I could see hating it. If you like history, old architecture, and a laid back atmosphere, it doesn't get any better.

I will say if you go there and never leave the French Quarter, you are missing most of what the city has to offer.

I think about moving, I love AZ/NM or New Orleans, but really, it's the same crap everywhere. Ohio is bland, parts of it are poor, it gets cold. I hate that. Would I be happier somewhere else? Sure, maybe for a while. Even the greatest place on earth gets boring once the monotony of everyday life sets in. I stay in Ohio because it is bland. No earthquakes, hurricanes, no real state dropping 60%,

prices are fairly low compared to other areas, crime is decently low, access to quite a lot of activities.

Now I'm speaking of Columbus. I grew up in Appalachian Ohio/ WV, if I'm going to live in Ohio, it will be Columbus.

Living in Ohio also makes vacations to other places that much better.

We also have a good accent. No southern twang(unless you are from Ironton), no Yankee drawl. Watching TV, everyone sounds like they are from Ohio.

yeah you geys up north can have your lil club all to yourselves.... a-holes:D

Hey....

I'll give you my advice.

I'm not sure what kind of pizza you do, but the trend in the Columbus area seems to favor being a Donato's clone. There are enough Donatos and the like, try something different. Right now the best pizza in Columbus to me is Romeo's. Good pricing, pizza is very tasty.

Having said that, there is better pizza. I'm from eastern Ohio, and so are tons of other Columbus residents. We grew up on Dicarlo's, which is square pizza, flash baked, and usually the cheese and toppings are cold. This stuff like crack to anyone originally from Eastern Ohio/ WV Panhandle. Any time I go visit if I want to see anyone that moved way as well, I can find them at Dicarlos. If I go home for one day, I get it twice.

There was a Dicarlo's in Columbus, it changed to avoid franchise fees though. There may still be one hilliard and the east side. Check it out, see if you can do something like that, I bet it goes well. It is also sold by the slice, so people can spend as much or as little as they like. This is really profitable if you are near a school that has an open lunch, the pizza joints next to my high school did most of thier business at lunchtime.

I would like to make it, but that's too far for a lunch hour. If this is going to be a regular thing, maybe move it around town a bit? Do something in the NW and I'm in, I bet DGTL GRL and a few others would be too.

Moose, sounds good to me, I would like to say bye to Dave.

No band though, let's just hang out. We weren't really planning on playing until February anyway. I think I would rather wait until a bigger event anyway just because it's such a pain in the ass to set up.
