Phila, I like.  It sounds "lovely".

I agree with this.  Here are more of my thoughts on the Cinti thing, 
especially since I seem to be in a thinking mode today:

* Arnold's I've heard nothing but good things as well about.  That's why I'm 
still convinced I'd been there at some time.

* Coney Island may be a bust.  $4000+ is a ridiculous sum, and the 150 mark 
seems unattainable.  I've been to Over the Rhine shows with less than 25 
people.

* My pal Kevin married in a park near 275 + Beechmont + the Ohio River.  It 
was outdoor-y and beautiful, with a house like thing that we the wedding 
party wandered around in getting ready.  It popped in my brain as a good 
idea today.  I'll enquire regarding that.

* My pal Carol had a graduation party in some park thing that held maybe 100 
people and might be perfect for that too.  It was on Cincinnati's East side 
somewhere.

* I think you can rent out spaces in some loft-y downtown bars 
(Westminsters, Jillians).  The danger with a real bar is the alcohol thing 
(slim chances of being able to bring liquor in).

* When we'd rent party halls for events at my old work, they'd be $300-$600 
and the charge for food.  The problem there is they're really sterile spaces 
typically.

* I've rented nice hotel spaces (never in Cincinnati though) for parties in 
the past for as little as $200 + food costs.  Again, a cash bar.

To quote Max + Celine, "that's the way it is".
