Sara Leah said...

I'll be there. The hubby will be in Chicago for AWP. Hate that he'll miss it, but I'M SO EXCITED!!

Emma said...

Do I count as an import if I lived somewhere other than Cincinnati from 1997-2007? My opinion is absolutely. Which why I'm RSVPing YES to the Oakley event.

Puja said...

Hmm, i wanna be there, but I dont think I can runaway on a thursday! maybe ill come up friday, and ill make you guys relive the whole thing again, just for my benefit! ;-)

Allison said...

This sounds like fun! I'd love to come by and meet my fellow non-native Cincinnatians. I'm an import via Minnesota, Kentucky, and originally Iowa. Count me in!

Laura said...

I'm planning to be there at around 6:15. I don't get released from the office until 5.

WestEnder said...

I'll be there. I am not an import but you should have at least one person who knows what the hell he's talking about.

Actually I am an import but you have to stretch the definition a little. As if anyone cares.

We're planning on coming, ms5chw4r7z and I, we're trying to drag Kate along too.
Might be a caravan.

I haven't been to any of the blogger meet-ups yet, but I hope to make this one.

liz said...

wow, i am so excited! you guys are really coming out of the woodwork. we may have to rename the event: who's who of the cincinnati blogging world.

note to non-bloggers: do not be intimidated by these internet all stars!

Avani said...

thanks for all the support everyone. i am so glad people are enjoying our blog and hopefully our events....

Erin said...

Can't wait!

superdutta said...

Great blog. Sounds like fun. I'll definitely be there.

colleen said...

I just found this blog a few days ago and I'm so glad I'm not the only Cincinnati import that feels lost and lonely! I'm 90% sure I'll be there!

rollie said...

Kate The Great said...

Was talking to 5chw4r7z & Don't Call Me Mrs. about this...

What is the definition of import? I was imported once, then I grew up here, moved away, and was imported again in my adult years. Does that qualify?

It would be horribly remiss of me to miss out on a blogger/nonblogger event (or actually any event with interesting people and good beer) that was across the street from my home.

So I will walk there... and hopefully I won't be crawling home.

liz said...

i am so glad everyone will be there. i am really excited to meet all of you!

kate, no worries... cincinnati imports is for everyone! all that is required is a desire to meet new people. and a desire to drink beer is preferred, but not mandatory...

tempore said...

Hey, I've been looking for something like this! I'm going to go with a solid maybe for being there.

Laura said...

I love that you guys put together this group! I'm an import from Lexington, KY via Washington, DC -- been here a little over three years. I think it took more than two years to start feeling like I was hitting my stride socially. I'm so excited about this concept.

BTW, I'm not telling you where I went to high school.

Anonymous said...

I'm glad to see that there's a group for people to connect. I'm from Florida and it would be great to meet other imports. I will try to be there on Thursday. Joanna

Alex said...

Count me in as a yes!

Robert said...

I wish I'd seen this sooner because I've already got plans. Maybe I can stop by afterwards. How late are you planning on going?

Avani said...

Robert-I am not sure how long the event will run but I assume at least a few hours so please stop by if you have time.
