How does Ohio grab you?

[Vorneniel]

Is there anyone willing to meet in Ohio?

[ImDaMom]

Where in Ohio?

[Vorneniel]

i don't know, i was hoping that after a few more people posted we could find an area kind of... in the middle so to say, see what is around there, and decide as a group.

[Laurelin]

I'm from dead center in the middle of Indiana and Ohio is my neighbor. Lemme see... there's Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland... lol Whatcha think? :huh: Sounds like fun. Ohio and Indiana are both kinda like the Shire so maybe we can talk some "folks" into visiting out here! ;)

[ImDaMom]

I like Cleveland....mainly coz I can get there within an hour :)

[Vorneniel]

well, i know there's nothing in columbus, it would be fun to go to Cedar point together though, not that it has anything to do with LOTR lol, Cleveland does sound good, it's a nice place

[Laurelin]

6 hours for me, but if there's something fun to do out there then I might be interested! :hyper:

[ImDaMom]

Well, there's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame :rock: (we could meet at the Led Zeppelin exhibit, in honor of their love of LOTR)

[Vorneniel]

i vote we put IDM in charge, she knows the most about Cleveland,
IDM, that would be fun lol, is there a place nearby that would be fun to hang out at for a few hours, or days?

[Laurelin]

I've been to the R&R hall of Fame. Cool place. I like the lakefront right there. I stayed at the Sheraton (I think) right across the street from the baseball stadium. Nice town. Also kinda cool is the boat you can get on for a tour of the waterways there and the lake. Nice tour. :thumbs:

[Vorneniel]

i've never actually stayed at Cleveland before... so this'll be interesting lol it sound like we've found our location IDM lol

[ImDaMom]

OK- but we need a definite count of people who WILL BE THERE!!! Lots of great shopping, too! ;)

[Vorneniel]

well, lets wait a little while and see who all finds this thread, see what times best for everyone

[Laurelin]

While I'm off work would be good for me! (which is until July 19th and then again after my second surgery :elfeek: sometime in August/September) :grin: It would be fun to meet up, that way I can really raze IDM over her love of Aragorn and she can do the same over my love of the Elf! lol

[Vorneniel]

and you both can razz me over my love for Cele lol

[Laurelin]

Deal! ;)

[Rhianon]

:wave: I am in Lebanon,just north of Cincinnati. Have any of you been to the Ohio Renaissance Festival? I usually visit the festival as often as I can each fall. It is in Harveysburg,Ohio. If anybody is interested, we can schedule a day to hold a get together. entdraught :beer: :rock:

[Laurelin]

Rhianon, THAT would be cool! :thumbs: Can I bring my bow? :hyper:

[Vorneniel]

that sounds more like it, i doubt my perents would drive me up to Cleveland for a LORT meeting... but they might take me to Cinnci for the festival. And it's more likely that i would be able to bring a friend along with me. Beautiful Rhia!

[Rhianon]

:whoohoo: That would be great! I hate going to the festival by myself. It would be great to have people to hang out with. I usually go in period dress.All we need to do is figure out a day to go. If you need to reach me, my email adress is:hobbitgirlcc@yahoo.com.

[Vorneniel]

it sound like a perfect place fot crazy LOTR lovers like us lol

[Laurelin]

Yes it does!

[Rhianon]

:hyper: Tomorrow I am going to the Ohio Renaissance Festival. It is open on Labor Day. I wish you all could all go with me. We'd have a great time.

[ImDaMom]

Actually ,Rhi, I passes the Ren fair on my way to Cinn yesterday (and home today) HOpe you had a great time!!

[Laurelin]

I hope you had fun too Rhi! :whoohoo: Sorry I couldn't be there. :smooch:

[Rhianon]

:grin: I had a good time! I went in period dress and yelled myself hoarse during the Swordsmen show and the Mud Show. It was very hot and I had to drink lots of water. I had a turkey leg in honor of my friends at WoR. :whoohoo: :hooray: :rock: :beer:

[Laurelin]

It sounds like it was a lot of fun! :whoohoo:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

why does no one live in Florida? :p

#Vani

[Laurelin]

Too many hurricanes?? lol Sorry, I used to live in FL as you know Vani. :cuddles: How are you holding up down there anyway?

[Tar-Vanimelde]

*croons* doing alright (old Queen song.....:grin: )

#Vani

[Laurelin]

Glad to hear it sweetie! ;)

[Friend of Maglor]

I have lotsa family in ohio, and we go there for summers and sometimes winters, how far
Is Cleveland from Akron?

[Vorneniel]

*blushes* you'd think i would know something like that... *hurries off* about 45 minutes... or at least that's what my dad told me

[ImDaMom]

I have lotsa family in ohio, and we go there for summers and sometimes winters, how far
Is Cleveland from Akron?
Cleve Akron is very close....and only about 45 minutes from Youngstown (my little corner of Valinor)

[Laurelin]

I be 6 hours from Cleveland... 5 1/2 on a good day. lol And 1 1/2 hours from Cincinnati.

[Vorneniel]

I'm almost the same... that's odd lol

[Lady Aerowen]

*finds this thread* ;)

Like, dude. I live in Columbus, yes yes. And Vorn and I live a stone's throw away. Almost literally since we're both softball players..er, that aside.

Now that Ren Fest is over ;_; (And Vorn and I went the other weekend, too..) what are the lot of us going to do?!

[Vorneniel]

i never told you about this thread? god just how much of an idiot am i? (don't answer that)

um... what is there in Ohio that is worth the drive for some/most of us... well, there's always Cedar Point, plenty of waiting= plenty of time to talk... *is thinking, and it hurts* jeeze, it's depressing how little there is to do in Ohio... or at least in that parts of it i'm famaliar with... *whimper* (the Ren Festival was awesome, cept for the guy that scared that living daylights out of me... i practicaly met Jack Sparrow *swoons* ;) :p )

[Rhianon]

:( I agree! It kind of sucks that we didn't get a chance to meet at the Ohio Renaissance Festival this year,there is always next season. I have relatives that live in Columbus.

[Vorneniel]

next year actually sounds like it will work, the only problem i might have is my parents... but if i get a ride with Aero it should be fine, and it might not agree with everyone's scheduals... well, it open for several weekends so it shouldn't be THAT hard to find one where everyone is free

so all we need to do is get everyone back at this thread, and make plans that no one will forget roflmao (or maybe i'm jumping the gun a bit :p)

[Lady Aerowen]

The Ren Fest is so the best place to meet. And... we might have issues finding each other, even if we do pass around pictures. That is, if we all dress in proper garb ;)

I think we should plan something for next year. Then those of us that work can request the weekend off, etc.

But that's -my- two cents.

[Vorneniel]

*hands Aero another twenty* ;)

well, we could be really cheesy and all bring "I'm From War of the Rings signs"... or we could be psychotic and yell for eachother in elvish and hope we're the only ones who know what we're saying... :p

i'll be darned if i that was even worth a penny lol :p

[Rhianon]

:grin: That is one thing that we CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT. I hate it when people consider us crazy or weird. I only have an issue with it when people start carrying around their cardboard standees and talk to them as if they are real people. Does anyone disagree with me on this?

[Friend of Maglor]

**is laughing to hard to answer**

I'd do it Vorn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol lol lol

[Vorneniel]

might be a bit of a drive for you :p

i think it's an AWESOME idea, but Aero, we'd have to make sure that i got a ride with you and my parents wouldn't be any where NEAR the festival

[Tar-Vanimelde]

tell them I'll go if I can and they'll get a restraining order on me ;)

#Vani

[Laurelin]

lol Me too probably. But hey, its a free country right? ;)

[Rhianon]

I think that it would be a very good idea to meet at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. We are going to have to keep posting on this thread and pick a date to go.I haven't been to Cedar Point since I was ten years old. :cool:

[Laurelin]

I like the idea. So Cedar Point is where the Ren Festival is located? When do they have the festival?

[Rhianon]

Actually the Ren Festlival is in Harveysburg Ohio. It is close to Caesars Creek State Park near Waynesville. :grin:

[Laurelin]

Ah, ok. I'll have to remember that. I really would like to go next year. ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

let me know more closer too ;)

#Vani

[Vorneniel]

you're teasing me, i know it :p :smooch:

i was gonna say, the Ren fest is in the direction of King's Island, Cedar point is near Cleaveland and Sandusky on the Lake lol

Laur, my parents said that if i were to contact Vani again they'd call the police on her ;) "Vani" and "Lari" are unmetnionable names in my house, though i say them anyways, it's a nice little reminder to them that they have to work for my trust and love, they don't get it just because they raised me

[Laurelin]

*hugs Vorn* Aw sweetie. :smooch: I'm glad you're still able to get online and you know what?? We'll just have to come up with another name for Vani won't we? lol Vani, think of something will ya? ;)

[Vorneniel]

*hugs back* call her "Mother of a twit" ;) trust me roflmao

[Laurelin]

lol I shall! ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

VORN! AND LAUR! I do NOT need to have another person calling me MOM! lol I think.....*counts* 9? at the last check...is QUITE enough ;) but you got the twit part right! ;) and I'm OH so very sure that calling me "mom" to your mom'd help situations drastically ;)

#Vani

[Rhianon]

pfbbt Your parents just don't understand you. My parents don't either and I am still living at home with them.

[Laurelin]

Methinks that all will be clear for both you and your parents once you move out on your own for awhile Rhianon. It brings things into perspective. Perhaps not immediately, but eventually. ;)

Vani - How's it going... Mom? *giggles and runs off*

[Tar-Vanimelde]

*throws a pillow at Laur* seeing as you could almost be my mother......................roflmao

#Vani

[Laurelin]

Nah, I'm not old enough for that, unless I had you at like age 10! pfbbt

[Vorneniel]

twelve :p *giggles* my mom wouldn't like that at ALL, though if that fact were true, it would make my life a heck of a lot better :p lol roflmao

[Tar-Vanimelde]

and I'd've had you at age 4! so what, I have a daughter 4 years younger than me and another who's 12 years OLDER?? lol I think we need to talk some things out, ladies ;)

#Vani

[Laurelin]

*looks puzzled* ...and why would that be Vani?? lol

[Tar-Vanimelde]

*sighs* you two deserve each other ;)

#Vani

[Vorneniel]

if you say so *turns into an ocelot kitten and jumps into Laur's arms*

[Tar-Vanimelde]

into HER arms? as an ocelot? ARROW THROUGH MY HEART!

#Vani

[Laurelin]

*pets and cuddles the ocelot* :smooch: Oh Vani, you always get her in your lap...my turn doll. ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

but when she's an ocelot? mecry


......................well *sigh* I do know you'll be good to her

#Vani

[Laurelin]

But of course I will! *snuggles with the ocelot kitten* Come sit next to us!

We really need to go to the Ren festival Vani! We really do. We just won't use your name...you could be a cousin of mine or something. lol

[Vorneniel]

*gives Vani the most pitiful look she can muster with her huge baby blue eyes and mews softly*

we can always call her "Jessica" ;) :smooch:

*purrs in Laur's lap*

[Tar-Vanimelde]

*tries to poke vornsy but Laur protects her* HEY!!! lol lol

#Vani

[Laurelin]

*cuddles Vorn protectively* :nono: No poking the kitten. lol

[Vorneniel]

*mews again and purrs very loudly* *is mentally giggling*

[Tar-Vanimelde]

*sighs and flicks little bits of paper all over them*

#Vani

[Vorneniel]

*sees not how this has anything to do with Ohio :p*

[Tar-Vanimelde]

it's what we'd do if we were together lol

#Vani

[Laurelin]

She has a point Vorn. lol

[Vorneniel]

pfbbt roflmao probably, it wouldn't suprise me at all :p but you guys are really getting my hopes up ;) :p

[Laurelin]

I intend fully to try my darnedest to make it my dear. ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

no guaruntees, but I really want to :grin:

#Vani

[Vorneniel]

*feels better* :smooch: :smooch: you guys are the best... but if you do both come, i'll have a big dilema... who to hugs first? :( :p

[Laurelin]

I'm thinking group hug! lol

[Tar-Vanimelde]

whoever you see first, are closer to, or, barring that, GROUP HUG, as Laur said :p

#Vani

[Vorneniel]

:p yeah, i tihnk we'll spend about an hour, maybe more, JUST on hugging :p :smooch: :smooch:

[Laurelin]

Sounds fine to me...both what Vani said and what Vorn said. lol

[Vorneniel]

*grins* it does sound fine, but what about the other three or four people that might be there? :p they might feel left out :p

[Tar-Vanimelde]

they can wait ;) heeheehee, goodness knows Laur and I'll have been waiting long enough :grin:

#Vani

[Laurelin]

lol Yep, what Vani says... ;)

[Vorneniel]

i've already figured out what i'm going to wear *is a nerd* :p

[Tar-Vanimelde]

#Vani

[Vorneniel]

:blush: :blush: :blush: so you 18 year olds keep telling me, though Caitlin slipped in a few "adorable" 's last time i went with her to art class :blush:

i know exactly what i want to wear :p

[Tar-Vanimelde]

LOL I'd not be completely honest if I didn't say I've thought about it :p

#Vani

[Vorneniel]

[Tar-Vanimelde]

#Vani

[Vorneniel]

#Vani

[Rhianon]

Ohio weather is TERRIBLE it was raining when i woke up at 6:20am, it was snowing by 7am :o

[Rhianon]

:grin: I have reapplied to Kent State University and will be moving up north some time this summer. I am hoping that I will still be able to go to the Ohio Renaissance Festival. I am going to have to move up to Kent,so I am on the look out for an apartment and a new job. I hoping to meet any LOTR fans that live in the area and go to school there.

[ImDaMom]

Well Rhi, I live about 1/2 hour from KSU- my dad graduated from there. Glad to have another Ringer around here!

[Vorneniel]

Aww, you two are lucky ;)

I hope you can still come :)
