meeting?

Wordnick, we'd be thrilled to have you!! Right now, we have a core membership of two! A few folks keep saying they're coming, but they don't show up. I will PM UndertheCity again to see if he's still interested. We've been meeting at Panera in Kenwood, but we can change that. How is the first Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m.?

I live in the blue ash area. I can meet every Wednesday night if there is still room. I write children literature.

Hi Juno,
Unfortunately, the group sort of disbanned after I moved to PA and some of the other members got caught up on deadlines and such things. You could, however, start your own. Maybe some others will come on board.

Writer's Group

I know this is a pretty old post, but if anyone is still interested in joining a writer's group I meet with one every 2nd and 4th Tuesday, 7:00 pm at Barnes & Noble in Kenwood. (We have discussed moving the group to Panera down the street, but I will need to check on whether that is definitely going to happen.) We are typically done by 9:00 pm, if not earlier.

I've been involved with this group since '03. Many members have come and gone for various reasons over the years, but there are currently about 3-4 active members (if the group gets too big it's difficult to get anything done).

If interested please let me know and I will add you to our roster and give you any additional details--particularly regarding the location.

Hi, I've noticed this is an older post but I'm 15, and just starting out on the Kentucky side of the river. I'm willing to meet up with not only young writers but anyone. Preferably on this side of the river but I'd be willing to stay within downtown.

Unfortunately, this group disbanded due to life changes for most of us (I moved. Others had other events). I believe there is still a pretty good group though that meets monthly at Joseph Beth book store. I never attended their meetings, but from what I've heard, it's a pretty good cross-section of ages, genres and talents. Good luck!

So, you're new to Cincinnati, I take it? It's a nice mid-sized city, and northern Kentucky is really just an extension of the city (with lots of great restaurants, arts districts, etc., particularly in Covington and Newport). I lived there for five years, and liked it a lot. Seriously, check out both sides of the river. :)

Two things you need to know right away, though, since football is a big deal there (even in years when the team is not winning...): 1) Bengals, not Bangles. 2) Who Dey, not Who Dat.

Lol.
You know I lived there for over 20 years and never understood the, "Who Dey," thing. My working theory was that it was a cheer for the local beer, "Hudepohl," which I think is out of business, which is too bad since it was better than Bud, Miller or Coors.

I think Who Dey is slang for "Who they." It was probably mumbled for so many years that it just changed.

Who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals?

One of our neighbors said that, but it just sounded so uneducated. I'd think, "What? That means that it's who are they. Is that third syllable really that hard to pronounce?"

Maybe after all the Hude..pohl, that third syllable was that difficult to pronounce?
