No. Cedar Point is in Sandusky. We used to go there relatively frequently only because it was close.
The one in Cincinnati was much more of a slog and therefore we went rarely. It was, obviously, way more special because of it.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

This is neat. I bailed on fireworks, but my west-facing, completely unobstructed apartment is allowing me to watch the fireworks in - well, lets say roughly all of the western suburbs. It's like someone set up a row of sparklers across the entire horizon.

Kat, it is King's Island.

Thanks. I couldn't remember and kept thinking King's Dominion but I think that must be somewhere in Virginia.

Art Crawl!!!
ita! I am so sad that I missed the men's final. I got to see like the first serve, but I wasn't at home and had to follow plans made by others.
I thought that the women's final was also amazing.
I was somewhat sad that the 2nd men's semi was rained out on Friday because I figured that whoever was meeting Federer on Sunday needed that rest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wouldna helped, I swear. It might have made the match longer, but Roger was large and in charge.
TiVo saved my tennis-watching ass. Made me paranoid, though, that someone was going to spoil me before I could run home and watch.
Still, better than missing.

How was the Venus/Lindsey match, ita? It sounded epic.

Yeah, the one or two shots that I saw -- well, clearly if it went on the way it started, Roddick could have just gone home.
But he played well? And it just wasn't enough?

I wandered off (not to wash dishes), but yup, it's King's Island. Man, it's been a long time since I've been there.

The women's final was brutal -- longest women's final both in games and time elapsed in the open era.
The score doesn't show how much Lindsay bettered Venus in the first set -- I thought it was another Williams choke, myself. But Venus summoned all she had both at the close of the first (fruitlessly) and at the close of the second -- and she didn't fall back, even though they went past where they'd have played tiebreak in other tournaments.
Really great tennis.
But he played well? And it just wasn't enough?
Oh, he was good. But Federer's ability to get the passing shot in -- you could just see Roddick's shoulders fall every time a good one slid past his reach.
which GL do you get in the mornings? Kyle? John? Hal? Just curious, you know.
Well, if she answered that personal, I think it's John. Hey, as long as it's not Guy.
