BLINK Cincinnati - Sun 10/11

I've got a lot I'm trying to cover in this event description so if you're planning on going please read this in its entirety.

There are 2 events on this, the first night of the festival.

First we have the "opening ceremony / celebration" which happens from 4pm - 9pm. Second the festival itself will be open, like all the other nights, from 7pm-11pm.

I think to keep things simple I'm just going to set up all of the events to happen from 7pm-9pm.

PLEASE NOTE: I will not go unless there is at least one person who RSVP's to go on that night. I will be there each night to meet you at Findlay Market at 7pm. If no one shows up within the first 30 minutes, unless I know otherwise, I will assume people who signed up weren't able to make it.

Making the meetup from 7-9 should hopefully give us enough time to take the shuttle from Findlay Market to the Roebling Bridge, walk to the NKY side of the event if we want, and then start walking back toward Findlay Market where we parked. For perspective, I believe the Cincinnati side (north to south) is approximately 1.5 miles.

The streetcar will be free during the festival so that's how we'll be able to start from the opposite side of the event. I believe some parking will also be free, but you'll need to double-check to find out where. The festival website has a lot of info about that kind of stuff:

For anyone who comes alone: At the end of the night I will happily escort you back to your car if you don't feel safe going alone since the festival happens after dark.

The Cincinnati side looks like it covers approximately 1.5 miles north to south. There's a much smaller presence on the NKY side.

I will also be publishing a link to Google Maps (so you can follow my location throughout the night) and WhatsApp (so you can communicate with the group). This way, in case anyone gets disconnected or wants to split from the group temporarily, you'll be able to reconnect easily later.

PS: If I think of anything else I'll just add it to the meetup discussion thread so be sure to check that before coming out to meet with the group.
