GEEZERS NITE OUT
Driving to and back from Cincinnati we passed Kings Island popular amusement park in the state of Ohio.It was raining when we arrived, but we finally made it to the Horseshoe Casino in Cincinnati. Relaxing at the bar in the Horsehoe with the rest of the Geezers who drove down on Friday.From Drumstir's car heading to the Hofbrauhaus across the bridge in Kentucky. A shot from the back seat of Drumstir's car thru the Moon Roof of the bridge.Another shot of the bridge from a distance.Drumstir and Spike walking in the rain from the parking lot across the street from the Hobrauhaus in Kentucky.Here IT is!The Hofbrauhaus even had Live Entertainment. Sort of!What else would you get for an appetizer at the Hofbrauhaus, but big soft pretzels? And of course you have to have a big mug of beer to go with the pretzels. They make their own beer.And here are most of the Geezers ready for more fun. I, Joebo, took this picture.This is a picture of all of the Geezers on the trip except for Billy Bob who was visiting with his son. Our waitress took the picture.Next Stop, HOOTERS on the water.Another pic of Hooters with the bridge in the background.This was our waitress at Hooters. The next 13 pictures are of the time we spent there for Drumstir's B-Day!S. B. trying to read the menu.A pic of the Forester who was sitting by the window overlooking the water, and the bridge to Cincy.We don't know who this guy was, but we just had to take a picture since he showed up at Hooters in a gorilla suit! Here he is with two of the Hooters girls.We ordered 50 wings. There were 25 Hot and 25 Mild. Needless to say we didn't eat them all. We took them back to our room, and put them in the mini frige, and that's where they were on Sunday when we were driving to Columbus. S. B. breaking his diet!A little birdie told the Hooters girls that it was Drumstir's B-Day! They all came over and chanted Happy Birthday to him while clapping. He didn't want to, but they made Drumstir stand up.I, Joebo, bought him a Fireball shot that he just had to drink!A pic of the Biggest Party Store in the world across from our room in Kentucky.A close up of the Party Store that I went to as the others went out for more fun.As I was walking up to the store a black Limo pulled up to stock up for the ride wherever they were going.A sign I, Joebo, just had to take a picture of. The room that we had at Comfort Suites had two double beds, and a pull out mattress. This, and the next 4 pics are what is referred to as The Blind Leading The Blind. Drumstir and S. B. attempting to make the pull out bed.Being the Manager that he is R. B. was supervising the operation.Sunday morning we ate breakfast in the breakfast room. Very coincidental. Here is a pic out the window from the breakfast room.Here we have Drumstir, Spike (Looking out that window), and the Forester after breakfast.Another pic of the bridge.Drumstir, S. B., and I went back to the Party Store on Sunday morning as soon as it opened after 11:00 AM. I took a pic of this sign out in front fo the store.A pic of S. B., formerly known as The Dancing Bear standing in front of a statue of a bear advertising a wine called Toasted Head Chardonnay. We drove past the Shoe in Columbus on our way to Hollywood Casino. You can just see the corner of Ohio State's football stadium. We were going too fast!Drumstir and S. B. walking inside the casino once we arrived to meet the rest of the Geezers. We were at the casino to watch the Cleveland Browns game with the lowly Jaguars in the O H bar. They have a gigantic big screenin the center surrounded by other big screens.However, we left before the game was over to head back to Akron because of the less than stellar performance of the Browns. They got beat up pretty bad!Here is a distant photo of the large Budweiser Plant heading out of Columbus back to Akron. We saw this bus on the road. What is unique about this is that Cleveland used to have an NHL hockey team called the Cleveland Barons.

The weekend of October 17 - 19, The Geezers ventured down to Cincinnati, OH for a "Road Trip" to celebrate the 70TH B-Day of one of our Geezers, Drumstir (Denny Edwards).
Some of the Geezers arrived in Cincy on Friday, 10/17, for golf, and gambling at the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati.
S. B., Drumstir, and I (Joebo) left Saturday morning, 10/18, and met the Friday guys in the afternoon at the casino.
Our main objective was the Cincy Horseshoe. We stayed overnight there Friday, and Saturday nites. Then on Sunday morning, after breakfast, we left for Columbus where we watched The Cleveland Browns get beat up by Jacksonville at the O U Bar. They have the largest BIG SCREEN that I have ever seen. They also have a lot of other side screens that are also impressive..
Below is Photo Gallery of the pictures that we took while there.
