Sorry if I missed something, but I didn't have time to read all responses. I'll just say this:

I have met a couple folks from the boards, and really enjoy doing so. Since I travel I can do that from time to time.

I live in columbus Ohio which has a new national aquarium at the columbus Zoo (I haven't seen it yet so I can't endorse it). Just across the river in Kentucky (2 hours from Columbus if you drive assertively 3 hours if you drive like a sane person) is a very fine national aquarium. I have a mobile (Could go to indy, or cinci, or even as far as nashville if needed) barbecue pit that is capable of cooking up to 350 pounds of pork at once, or any other variation of barbecue desired (Have done everything from lobster to gator tail in the roaster) . I do my hog roasts at cost for friends and family. Columbus is accessable from detroit, dayton, indianapolis, and cincinnatti airports as well as that place we call an international airport over on the east side. For you folks from up north, there are multiple daily flights to Toronto, and flight time is only about 45 minutes, not to mention one very impressive view as you pass the lakes. Can't brag about the weather overall.
Columbus is a clean decent city, that is easy to navigate, and has ample facilities for any reasonably sized get together. Prices are fairly good.

It's a little off of central, but for those who prefer not to fly, it is reachable in 10 hours from Hartford, 6 from DC, 9 from Kansas city, 6 from St. louis, etc.
While there are plenty of good locations, Columbus is worth a look. I'm game for just about anywhere. Keep us posted.

Hmmm..If you are offering to cook it sounds good!! Now where to have it. Indiana, Ohio and Kentuckey are good for me. My husband goes to Kentuckey all the time for Civil War stuff.
 
I was bored, so i made a map of where everybody lives, just those people who posted on this thread. Some people didnt say where they lived, so they can pm me and I can update the map. Some people also only said what state they lived in, so I put them in the middle of that state. According to the map, Columbus ohio seems the closest, but as more people tell me where they live, we can update it and find out.

Also, how do you upload a picture and make it show up, instead of making people have to click on the image. Just PM me the response, I dont want to kill the thread.

Charlotte North Carolina! :dance2:

I was in fact offering just that. My preferred method is a Carolina style pig pikin complete with Hush puppies and all the typical side dishes.

I can do just about anything we decide though (cooking is one of my hobbies) If I don't know how, I'll enlist someone who does and make it a success. MAybe we could get Len to spin some tunes for us.
