Not from Ohio, but close enough.

But out in the great central mass of America, a person could feel awfully alone! I'm wondering if we could get one of those maps with a little red dot to show each individual member. Of course there are a few people who put their locations as "Earth" or "1930". But if we could get a zipcode (confidential if you want) for everyone, it might help people out here in the hinterlands find each other.

Wish I could make it,...but I didn't know anything about it and my plate's pretty full right now anyway. Maybe some other gig,...NoirDame said:Ok. I am going to the Dan Zola Band Tues 9/11 (tomorrow night), if anyone wants to join me.
I'll be in the green dress....and probably the only gal in vintage with pin curls.

leaette said:this is kinda late notice but in Conneaut, OH on Lake Erie, is having a WW2 event this Saturday. D-Day Normandy reenactment. The website doesn't have good photos on it, but you all have to trust me on this....It's worth the drive. The REAL Navy brings several landing craft and the allied reenactors have actual beach assults while the Germans are sitting atop a hill. There are planes flying over. Pyrotechnics. Lots of goodies to watch.
There are several hundred reenactors that go to this. They all have camps set up and you can walk thru them. There is a vendor area. And there will be a swing USO show afterwards at night.
I'll be there with my husband and son. We go every year. If you go and see me, say hi. My husband will have his German uniform on, and I'll be wearing some sort of civi clothing. And I'll be pushing a modern black stroller. (those darn vintage prams don't fold up in cars !!!)
