I'm local. For anybody coming in on Friday, there's a couple of things going on that night in town that folks might enjoy.

The Cleveland Museum of Art has a fun "first Fridays" event the first Friday of every month. Info here: MIX at CMA Cleveland Museum of Art

There's a rapidly-growing brewery called Fathead's in North Olmsted OH, only about 5 minutes from the airport, with gigantic sandwiches and awesome beer.

PM me if you want any other suggestions. Mrs. Darlox and I may be around, but I'm actually trying to fend off a business trip that week -- if unsuccessful, I probably won't get home until late Friday night!

Welcome to CLE everyone!

Ditto, welcome to CLE for everyone visiting from out of town!

Ms. LincolnJKC works at the Museum and while in my old age (ie 10 days shy of 34 as of the Mini-DO) I tend to stay in on Fridays when I'm home, if anyone wants to connect at the Museum during MIX we'd be glad to host [I say that without checking with her first, of course ]

If you don't want to deal with a car, you can ride the RTA Red Line direct from the airport to the Little Italy station, and the museum is only about a 10-15 minute walk from there through University Circle, one of my favorite parts of Cleveland.

I haven't been to Cleveland (besides connecting at Hopkins) in over a decade. I'm looking forward to it!

OK. Let me know if you would like to grab a late drink or anything. I should be at the hotel by 6PM or so.

Seven days and counting. . .
The only thing that could keep me away is the four days in the home orifice with nothing scheduled.

I have just been informed that this function overlaps cinco de mayo (sorry if misspelled - gmbH autocorrect) now I can add CLE to the list of locations I have celebrated in. FRA, MEX, NYC, NRT. I look forward to too many adult beverages, all in the name of good statesmanship of course.

I am probably going to stay Saturday night as well, so if any locals know of a fun place to celebrate, let me know...
