Drove out to Bowling Green as a teenager to play in a golf tournament. Teed off on about the fourth hole with a wicked slice -- hit a passing freight train and the ball bounced back into the fairway.

I'd be all over it, but I'm already committed to another event in Columbus that night.

I miss Bowling Green, especially Pisanello's Pizza, Grounds for Thought, and the fudge they had at Franklin's.

I'd go but I don't want to catch and STD.

Will this be a gay event?

Bowling Green, OH on the main page!? Wow.

I grew up there, went to church and school there till I was 18. If I was still around I'd be at the party tonight!

I read that as Greek.Was I the only one? I'm on top!

All of the above, plus the Corner Grill, the crazy non-standard Dairy Queen, and the Black Swamp Festival.

I'd head up, but it's a bit too far from Columbus on a work night. :(

I grew up there, went to church and school there, but only until I was 12. Scott Hamilton came to my school and told us about how he got pop from the cafeteria when he was a kid, while everyone else had to drink milk.

The tornado sirens went off the last time I passed through town, and the guy at the gas station locked me outside due to "company policy". I had to seek refuge at the police station across the intersection. Good times, man.

Subby\Geek Pride Night founder here.

This is a GLBTQ-friendly event, as The iNation is an industrial/gothic/underground night and our crowd has a good percentage of that community.

Here is the flyer we have for the event:

^Also I am licensed to solemnize marriages in Ohio under the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (RAmen!), so there's that as added entertainment if anyone is looking to get married in the eye-stalks of Our Pasta Lord. Too bad gay marriage is illegal in Ohio though. :(

Heh. I thought you just left the submitter's ID section blank.

Up and Atom		2012-05-19 05:46:51 PM

If I go back to Bowling Green (Class of '03), it will be for Campus Pollyeye's chicken & cheese stuffed breadsticks.

Skybar was a pretty crappy bar from what I remember... not that I remember much from the times when I was there.

turnipbear		2012-05-19 07:29:55 PM

Kinda wish I was back in Toledo now. Kinda.

wambu		2012-05-19 08:38:03 PM

I read that as "Gay Pride".

So Joe Biden won't be there?

Heh, he's welcome to show up, but I'm sure the Secret Service presence would put a damper on everything.

Or maybe trying to pull some sort of Little Bobby Tables-type stunt... hmmm.

bluehubcap		2012-05-22 10:00:49 PM

I originally (few days back) read that as "Greek Pride Night" and thought to myself, "how many Greeks are there in Ohio? That can't be too popular."

Only if there's Colombian hookers involved.

Woo woo ohio people!

Although cursed up north near Toledo!

Get down here near Columbus! *shakes an angry fist*

That's even funnier given your profile name.

Tempting, despite the 5 hr drive

Sirveaux		2012-05-22 11:39:57 PM

Geez, I never thought I'd see BG on Fark. I did my master's there, but haven't been back since.

/Miss dollar wine Wednesdays at 149 North.

Bongo Blue		2012-05-23 04:43:03 AM

2 fark parties in towns I lived in.
Grew up in San Diego.
Raised my kids in BG.
Won't make either one.
If you live there, I may be familar.
Kinda disappointed.

Also Myles pizza, SOOO much cheese!

No way! Bowling Green, OH on the front page? Never thought I'd see the day. Graduated BGSU '09, living just north in Perrysburg now, I may just have to go to this...

OregonVet		2012-05-23 09:08:56 AM

Born in BG here too. Did a couple years school there too. I am a bigger fan of Myle's Pizza tho. But when my parents came to town, I got them to take me to Trotters for a steak. Don't forget a bowl of onion and salad at Easystreet for lunch.

OregonVet		2012-05-23 09:14:45 AM

shiat. Now I'm craving a brown jug....

Celebrate your "specialness", you wonderful freaks!

The_Pirate		2012-05-23 10:11:20 AM

In Warren now or I'd try to make it down. BG was a great party spot for a number of years while my cousin was in college. Have fun.

Dr._Michael_Hfuhruhurr		2012-05-23 10:19:56 AM

Holy crap!

I spent new years eve at that bar. What are the chances?

Than breakfast at my first Waffle House.

Then it got weird.

tsalaroth		2012-05-23 10:47:03 AM

if it were Bowling Green, KY, I could make the drive, but OH? I'd get there just in time for the party, only to have to leave 30 minutes later. :(

Dynascape		2012-05-23 10:51:56 AM

Im in SW Ohio.... so no.

My favorite bars are around Wright State...
