Grex Grexohio Item 9: Grex Ohio '95! [linked] [frozen]
Entered by carson on Wed Aug 16 10:12:24 UTC 1995:

OK, I know it sounds kind of sick on the surface, but...

The Grex Ambassador (that's me; sounds kinda fancy and pompous, don't it?
I thought it sounded better when I was unofficial. ;) ) is planning to
visit Columbus, OH, sometime next week.

You know me. It's a spur of the moment thing. Details are to follow.

(ps to hematite: I'll be there well before 10 pm this time. ;) )

49 responses total.

  If you're an ambassador, where's your portfolio?

  Have fun!



#2 of 49 by rcurl on Wed Aug 16 14:05:23 1995:

How do you know he carson doesn't have a portfolio, and maybe even a
portmanteau, a portculis, and a porthole?


#3 of 49 by eeyore on Wed Aug 16 16:00:04 1995:

are you looking for people to go, or are you just making an announcement?


#4 of 49 by birdlady on Wed Aug 16 17:51:22 1995:

All I'm going to say is:  Watch out for those Ohio cops!  Believe me...the
excuse "I'm from Michigan" does *not* work when they ask you why you were
speeding.  ;)

I always thought that the "Grex Ambassador" was the terminal hooked to
the console.  (An Ann Arbor Terminals Ambassador, for those not familiar with
it...)

We unofficially named Carson our official Grex ambassador the last time
he went visiting an outlying enclave of Grexers.


#7 of 49 by remmers on Wed Aug 16 21:14:17 1995:

So he's the unofficial official ambassador?


#8 of 49 by canis on Thu Aug 17 06:30:02 1995:

Thats the way it sounded officially speaking.....



#9 of 49 by popcorn on Thu Aug 17 13:31:05 1995:

Indubitably!


#10 of 49 by hematite on Thu Aug 17 17:22:28 1995:

#14 of 49 by rlawson on Fri Aug 18 01:02:08 1995:

Okay, as an official member of the GrexOhio Welcoming Committee (formed two
minutes ago), both llan and carson can stay at my house. At this time, I'd
like to go over the rules of the house:

1.  All rules may be made up at any given time by rlawson and are always
     subject to change.

Bet you can't wait to come down here! Just kidding. :) See you on Monday!


#15 of 49 by mulder on Fri Aug 18 13:07:14 1995:

to do, like homicides, etc..but come anywhere near where i live, westerville,
and, hell, the whole damn town is a speed trap..i swer it!


#17 of 49 by carson on Sun Aug 20 02:45:12 1995:

at this moment, it looks like llan and I will leave Ann Arbor around
8 am on Monday. We are to first visit rlawson, and afterwards make our
way to DeSales (did I spell that right?) by noon.

Sometime around 8 pm, we're supposed to meet zeplin at a Kroger. I can
let you know more about that later. :)


#18 of 49 by robert on Sun Aug 20 03:06:31 1995:

Wendy may not be able to come anymore so we might not have to go to DeSales.
I don't know yet -- I'll keep you posted.


#19 of 49 by carson on Sun Aug 20 07:04:43 1995:

oh, we can still meet her if she can't come along, can we?


#20 of 49 by gregc on Sun Aug 20 10:25:00 1995:

 


#21 of 49 by rlawson on Sun Aug 20 14:12:18 1995:

Yeah, we can... if we go to her house. It's up to you. Just tell me what you
want to do and I'll arrange it. :}


#22 of 49 by hematite on Sun Aug 20 21:40:21 1995:

Come to my house! Come to my house! yeah!!! <giggle> I think my mom will let
you people come over...i hope


#23 of 49 by popcorn on Sun Aug 20 21:45:47 1995:

(Wendy - type "!use_gate" to turn on word wrap for your picospan responses!
Then exit from bbs and go back in again, for it to take effect.)


#24 of 49 by llanarth on Sun Aug 20 22:00:39 1995:

uhmmmm...


#25 of 49 by aruba on Sun Aug 20 22:11:21 1995:

Carson, after this trip will you have met enough new Grexers to renew your bet
with Valerie about who has won the most?  I really want to see a Grex-off!


#26 of 49 by hematite on Mon Aug 21 00:48:21 1995:

Sorry about that Valerie, I wasn't paying attention to it, usually I try to
not make it funky..sorry about that!


#27 of 49 by carson on Mon Aug 21 00:59:57 1995:

re #20: heh.

re #25: Valerie couldn't remember half the Grexers she's met. :) (it's not
         likely, though.)


#28 of 49 by scg on Mon Aug 21 01:07:27 1995:

Carson still won't have been to McKendree.


#29 of 49 by carson on Mon Aug 21 01:21:16 1995:

ah, but I've pribly met more memorable people. how many McKendree logins
do *you* remember? :)


#30 of 49 by scg on Mon Aug 21 01:51:26 1995:

Quite a few, actually?


#31 of 49 by birdlady on Mon Aug 21 13:39:03 1995:

I have you all beat!!!  I am *sure* that *I* can remember the most McKendree
logins.  =)  And I drove the longest distance to visit them, too!
<birdy awards herself the prize>
<g>


#32 of 49 by carson on Mon Aug 21 21:05:51 1995:

but Sarah, you've never met avi. I'm told that that event alone
qualifies me for "coolest user online." :)


#33 of 49 by popcorn on Mon Aug 21 21:55:50 1995:

You've met avi?  Cool!  I've only talked to him on the phone (and that
for about 45 seconds, total).  Cool!


#34 of 49 by rlawson on Tue Aug 22 17:11:20 1995:

Wait a minute! Aren't you suppossed to be in Ohio, carson?


#35 of 49 by llanarth on Wed Aug 23 22:19:48 1995:

#36 of 49 by rlawson on Wed Aug 23 22:22:03 1995:

Did the car hold up alright? <g>


#37 of 49 by carson on Thu Aug 24 01:36:21 1995:

#38 of 49 by popcorn on Thu Aug 24 12:26:37 1995:

How'd it go?


#39 of 49 by carson on Thu Aug 24 21:44:26 1995:

well, "it" has a car, and a driver's license, not to mention that "it"
had a full tank of gas and sunglasses.
