Cincinnati & Dayton, Ohio Meetup - 8/24/13

[cfOH]

Trying to organize a meetup for Saturday, August 24th, probably in the Northern Cincinnati area to make it convenient for Dayton-area owners.

Anyone have suggestions as to a location? And preferences for time? Afternoon? Evening? Surely not morning...surely.

If I actually owned a Tesla, I would be there, but alas, my Volt really would not fit in

 

[Al Sherman]

I'm probably gonna be out of town. If not, I'm in. Is Colerain too far South? Quaker Steak and Lube has plenty of parking and good inexpensive pub food.

I could pick Rifleman up on the way.

I could pick Rifleman up on the way.

Thanks Al, I may take you up on that. Also, if anyone from Indiana wants to attend, but is suffering from range anxiety, I would be happy to let anyone in need of a charge stop by my house in Harrison (less than 1 mile off of I-74) and use my 14-50 outlet.

Al, do you know Andrew Gilmore? He's a Model S owner up in Dayton, retired from the USAF. I suspect you two would have a lot to chat about. I sent him an email about the meetup...haven't heard back from him yet.

Need to check the calendar, but would be interested. Coming from the North of Dayton - Clayton Ohio. Last time we had a great get together in Columbus. I would suggest putting the information on the Ohio Facebook page. Wondering if Andrew Gilmore has a white Model S. My wife says she's seen one in the Dayton area a couple of times and it was a white one.

Great, Kent! Yes, Andrew's MS is white. He volunteers at the USAF Museum, as that was the first place I saw his car.

Don't recognize the name. I'd love to meet everyone. That's really what it's all about for me. Meeting folks from the forum. I've only met 2 forum members in 4 years of "lurking."

Alas, my plans to leave town on the 22nd are still in place. It's a longshot for me but if plans change I will definitely attend.

This sounds like a great idea. I can meet on the 24th. Just let me know where and when.

 

[dave]

I should be able to make it. No plans that day.

The further south the better.

Just paid my deposit on a CPO 2008 Roadster 1.5 #105... looking forward to joining you guys at some point!

Im sitting here at Teslive and im making plans to attend this meetup. Is there ever too much Tesla....I think not

 

[cfOH]

I'll try to figure out a place that is as close to everyone as possible. If you're coming from significantly outside the I-275 loop, either post here where from or email me ( [email protected] ) and I'll see if I can do a quick and dirty minimax optimization.

 

[cfOH]

OK, based on folks coming from all over -- Dayton, Eastern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, near Columbus, Eastern Cincinnati -- somewhere around the I-275/I-75 interchange near Sharonville/Springdale seems like a reasonable mid-point. One suggestion was Dave & Buster's, as it has food for every taste and a whopping huge parking lot (ding-proof spots for everyone!), but other suggestions are welcome.

Also, preferences about time? Lunch? Dinner? Afternoon?

Cin-Day Tesla Meetup: 8/24, 5:30pm, Dave & Buster's in Springdale

When: Saturday, August 24th, 5:30pm - ?

Where: Parking lot of Dave & Buster's in Springdale: 11775 Commons Dr., Springdale, OH 45246

After admiring each other's cars for a bit, those interested in dinner can go inside for a meal. Kids are welcome.

Also, I just saw a LivingSocial deal for a Dave & Buster's game-play card, in case you might be tempted by the games there: LivingSocial link

Please feel free to forward this info on to anyone you know who may be interested.

Just wanted to help spread the word! Added the event to the Ohio Tesla Owners Group page. I look forward to meeting some of our friends in the Cincy/Dayton Area.

Awesome... thanks, Jay.

 

[cfOH]

Looks like there will be quite a bunch of Tesla owners -- both Model S and Roadsters represented this coming Saturday. The welcome mat is out for any who want to attend. See details a few comments above this one.

 

[Rifleman]

I may stop by in my Volt to meet my fellow Tesla enthusiasts. My offer to anyone coming from Indiana to use my 14-50 in Harrison if you are pushing your round trip range still stands as well.

 

[dave]

I'll be there. Hope we get a good turn out!
