Columbus Meet Pictures

[helenabear]

About a week ago, Doctor P (Mike) had stated that he was coming to Columbus for a convention and wanted to know if a few of us could get together for dinner. So myself, my DH (coqui), Mickey Nut 50 (Sherrie) and bobcat (Lisa) all said we would be able to make it. It was agreed upon that we would meet at Red Robin in Worthington.

My DH (Luis) and I pulled into the parking lot at about 7:15 and saw Mike sitting on a bench outside waiting for us. A few minutes later, Lisa and her two children (Katie & Brice) pulled up. Shortly after Mickey Nut 50, her DS scuba_mickey (Grant) and her DH (Gary) arrived. We chatted for a short while outside and after a little cheering with Red Robin for the Ohio State football game (which Ohio State beat Northwestern 27-16 ) we went inside… but only after I snagged this pic:

Left to right:
Sherrie (Mickey Nut 50), Gary, Grant (scuba_mickey), Red Robin, Mike (Doctor P), Luis (coqui), Brice, Lisa (bobcat) and Katie
For those curious I took all the pics tonight so I didn’t manage to get in a single pic

Luis didn’t agree with me, but I thought this milkshake of his was just too pretty to pass up taking a picture of. At least Sherrie & Lisa agreed with me

Here we have Red Robin getting us all to cheer and pound on the table while rooting on Ohio State as they played

Being the loyal and wacky Ohio State fans we are, we were happy to oblige

We even had Mike who should have been rooting for Northwestern to join us

Sherrie apparently thought that her son’s clamsticks looked good so she snagged a few.

Poor Grant had to guard his food so his mom wouldn’t steal any of them anymore

Okay, I don’t know what is up with Grant’s look here and apparently neither does Lisa

Mike was nice enough to help Brice practice his Cub Scout handshake

Luis and Grant had spent a good portion of the night chatting about computer geek stuff. Apparently it was very interesting given the look on Luis’ face and the fact that he was IGNORING the Ohio State game

And to end this all, a prize goes to the first person who can correctly guess how many Hidden Mickeys are in this pic of Sherrie

All in all it was a great evening! I truly enjoyed being able to spend time with some friends and be able to finally meet Sherrie’s DH Oddly enough, I was scared to death to go to my first meet this last April and now I truly enjoy it. I have seriously never met a DISer I haven’t found to be nice and easy to talk to yet! So if you are scared to go to a meet, just go, you’ll have fun!!!

And for those who like my pics stay tuned until next week when I’ll have a few from Chicago to post

Luv ya Elaine!! These were great!! So glad to see you Ohio Disers taking care of one of our beloved Illinois Disers!! Looks like a perfect place for a DIS meet, rowdiness and silliness abounds!!

I do think I need to have words with Mike for alienating Northwestern though! I guess, When in Rome, right???

Thanks for posting so quickly! See ya next week on OUR turf!!!

Looks like you had a great time!
Never been to that rest. That milkshake looks yummy.

Sorry to have missed it - love Sherrie's shirt - thanks for posting!

 

[bobcat]

I had so much fun last night! The pictures made me laugh again. What we didn't get a picture of was the bird dancing on the bar.


TC we missed your cookies!

Thanks Elaine for getting this together.

 

[iluvdisney]

Great pics Elaine - looks like a good time was had by all!

 

[Mickey Nut 50]

Thanks Elaine! Good pictures! We had a great time! That restaurant was a great choice, too. We got to watch the game, eat good food, and have a DIS meet all at the same time! Only thing better would be the same thing in WDW!

Thanks for sharing these with us, Elaine!

Nice to see familiar faces, hi to Sherrie (love the shirt!), Grant (I have the same problem with my food sometimes LOL), Luis, & Mike (see ya in a week!)
Grant how did you hurt your finger? Guarding your food?!?!?

Also great to see new faces (hi Lisa, Brice & Katie) and Sherries DH Gary!!

It's kinda funny you couldn't find anybody to take at least ONE picture of you El! Makes me wonder if you were really THERE LOL

Looks like a fun time! Thanks again!

Oh & Elaine, I count 23 if you include the Mickey earring!
What do I win?!?!?!

 

[Mickey Nut 50]

Yepod - good to hear from you!!

Grant has no fun tale to tell regarding his finger. Let's just say he hasn't yet learned how to catch a football (third time he's broken a finger bone from catching either a basketball or football).

That was a great meet - it was fun to see Luis, Elaine, and Lisa again, and meet Mike. My slightly Disney dysfunctional husband was impressed with all of my DIS friends. I think he's now looking a little more forward to DIS CON II!
