Dayton here also, so we do have some representation.

I really thought the Neon theater would have been a great little venue for the charity screening on the 23rd but alas, my lifelong fear of having a party and no-one showing up was enough to keep me from pursuing it.

Maybe next year.

... I'm in.

Maybe we can collaborate on that next year.

One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aimed to misbehave.

I can assure you all, if there is a screening in Dayton, nothing in the 'verse could keep me from showing up!!

I'm from Pataskala! It's a little town east of Reynoldsburg and Pickerington.

Oh my dear and fluffy lord! I'm from Reynoldsburg. Go Raiders!

Long gone from A-hi-ya and livin' in Seattle but the blood of a Buckeye stills runs through my veins.
Pataskala. I haven't heard that word in a moon's age.

Just wanted to check in and say I'm from Ohio, too. :) Glad to meet some fellow Ohioan Browncoats.

Hmm... from reading the imponderables, all i know about ohio is that is where Kenobius is.

Actually i've got a question.... been looking at colleges, and have my eye on a college by the name of Oberlin, for creative writing, as sorta the dream school. (As in, i could only afford if i win the lottery, or the lottery that is financial aid)...

Are small Ohio college towns as cool as hyperurban society makes them out to be? (I live in Silicon Valley, nothing but suburb for miles upon miles around.)

"But, these strong women characters?"

I've been to Oberlin (to visit). My friend's sister is a student there and I went to see her perform a radio show. I didn't get to go on a tour or see much of the campus, but what I saw was nice. It's pretty and kinda cozy there.

Anyway... I live in a small college town. (I'd say which college, but I'm not allowed to give out that kind of detail. Sorry.) And, I'll probably be living in another one when I go off to college after next year.

Ummm... are they as cool as people say? That's a little hard to answer... I guess I'm not sure how they're viewed by the outside world. I could probably answer a lot better if I had a little more info.

If you don't mind my asking, what would want to find in a small Ohio college town for it to be what you're looking for? What would you want it to be like?

I guess it depends on who you are, too. A lot of my friends can't wait to get out of here and go on to "bigger and better things" elsewhere. Me, I kind of like our city. But, I'm not fond of big cities and large crowds and all that. I like our town because it is small and simple. It's nice. But, that's not for everyone. I like it, though.

Well bigger n better can piss you off if you grow up in it. Granted my area isnt.. it isnt dirty like the streets of some cities seem to be (San Francisco and London spring to mind)... but it's... well, it's just so urban. in my own corner of this verse, all i can find if i go walking or biking is streets streets and more streets.

What my idealized hopes for a small college town are? Hmmm....

If i could bike to almost everywhere. (Ok maybe nowhere is that small.)

If i could actually find some sorta of open space that vaguely resembles a countryside. (Best i have is a park, it's green n all, but being next to a swimming pool and near a big library... not the most tranquil of places.)

If I could actually see more than twenty stars at night, that'd be cool. (Either the sky is kinda hazy, or i live in a light-polluted area.)

Eh, idealism aside, this whole creative writing thing, if i'm doing it right, should work on inspiration, new experiences, new ideas... Any place different then where I grewed up would be good.

But if as mentioned, if i dont get me any financial aid, atm i'll end up at Riverside, in L.A. which is like where i am, but worse.
