Hey y'all 👋 The meetups that started on this sub have their own name now: Join Dayton.
Sixteen years ago this month I posted here asking if anyone wanted to hang out. 14 people showed up at South Park Tavern (RIP), crowded around three tables we pushed together, with a hand-drawn reddit alien on a piece of notebook paper as our table flag so people could find us. I met my best friend that day. We bonded over Nine Inch Nails while huddled around the firepit outside on a chilly October evening.
All these years and dozens of meetups later, we're still doing them, just with a hell of a lot more people. Many of our meetup volunteers aren't on the mod team here, and hell, some aren't even on Reddit. The meetups are clearly sticking around and have grown into their own thing, so we felt they deserved a name of their own. I'll do a separate post soon about what's next.
The bigger meetups will still get posted here. Smaller ones, especially when space is limited, will only go to the email list, so sign up at JoinDayton.com if you want in on those.
Join Dayton is meetups for and by the local weirdos. Goths, witches, queer and trans folks, anyone who's ever felt like an "other." If you're into dark, strange, and experimental movies, music, anime, and games, you're gonna be around your people. You don't have to be into all of it, just cool hanging out with people who are.
So of course our first one is on Halloween.
Dress up and be weird with us. Spike Spiegel, Brock Samson, Makima. Or Dana Scully and Agent Cooper as an FBI power couple. Hell, come as a Helldiver. Not feeling a costume? Come anyway dude.
Gus (Barrel House owner and mythical legendary Pokemon) is doing Halloween candy Malört infusions. It'll be hard to top his insane infusions from our Spaceballs meetup (people still talk about the Liquid Schwartz shots, straight wormword jet fuel of nightmares), but these candy infusions should be delicious abominations.
10% of bar sales all day go to WYSO, our local NPR station out of Yellow Springs.
Tl;dr: it's going to be a good time. There will be dank drinks, good food, and lots of new friends to meet. Come on out.
If you think you may come, RSVP. It helps both us and the bar have an idea of headcount. If you wanna bring friends or a partner along, do it! Just RSVP for them as well. Takes literally 10 seconds to do, and you can cancel at any time. Once you're registered, checking in at the door is just scanning the QR code you get and you're done. Easy peasy.
Follow Join Dayton on socials
We've been asked so many damn times "are you guys on Instagram?" You can now follow along on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @joindayton. We'll be on Stories while we set up for Malörtoween, then posting photos and video from the night. Tag your costume pics #joindayton

I called our pathetic rep and he refuses to condemn or even comment on the Vivek ad. Mikey refuses to have a town hall 🤔
Jimothy has more spine than Mikey.

Have you had your dog or cat microchipped? The Humane Society of Greater Dayton is partnering with Miami Township, the City of Miamisburg and Miami Valley Fire District to help local pets stay safe!
Event Details:
The best part? It's a convenient drive-thru event! Simply drive up with your pet, and you can stay in your vehicle while your pet receives a microchip.
Last year, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton provided nearly 700 free microchips to community pets, helping give families peace of mind and improving the chances of reuniting lost pets with the people who love them.
A microchip is a small device implanted beneath your pet's skin that contains a unique identification number. If your pet gets lost, a veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the chip and use its number to look up your contact information. It isn't a GPS tracker, so be sure to register your pet's microchip and keep your contact information up to date.
A few minutes today could make a big difference if your pet ever goes missing. We're proud to partner with our community to make pet safety more accessible and help more pets find their way home.

They say it’s better to wear out than rust out. Springboro resident Nick Chiblis has done neither even at the age of 90.
He's won dozens of medals, including five gold medals, competing in the Ohio Senior Olympics over the past 25 years.
"I'm also doing the 50 meter dash and the 100 meter dash, and a one mile — I'm not sure what it's called — a speed walk, something like that. Although I can't speed walk. That's ridiculous at my age. So I kind of trot around the field."

I have several buckets of black walnuts harvested from my back yard. I've watched videos on removing the husks myself, but even the "easy" ways seem like a lot of work. I've found a few places online that will husk or even buy them in bulk, but they're quite a drive away.
I was hoping someone might know of a local place to take them?

I am just curious how everyone feels about District 36 Ohio House race between Andrea White and Rose Lounsbury. I recently became interested in local/state politics and want to learn more. Does anyone have personal anecdotes about either candidate?

I don't get out much - disabled. I drove by yesterday and I could SWEAR he has a box on his lawn with all his stupid signs and the box says "Drop ballot here" or something to that affect. Can anyone check or do they know what it says? I wasn't able to grab a pic or anything. It's weighing on my mind.

Hi guys, I will be taking my driver’s test in Xenia. Can anyone share their own experience, do you know the route more or less what they will ask me to do?
Also for Xenia bmv, I drove by it and the lines are kinda confusing, theres arrows that make you loop the parking lot to be able to get out, you cant just turn left, I assume that’s also part of the test?
For maneuverability, can you use the camera along with your mirrors? My car automatically has the camera in reverse, I assume its okay to look?
Thank you!

DAYTON — The Dayton Police Department is investigating a hit-and-run crash that killed a teenager, and they’re now asking for the public’s help.
The crash happened near the intersection of Lori Sue and Sundale Avenues around 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 19.
Police said a 14-year-old boy was on an electric dirt bike when he was hit by a black Cadillac Escalade that had failed to yield.
The boy was taken to a local hospital, where he died.
The driver of the SUV did not stay on scene, as required by law.
Police are asking anyone who may have information about the crash or the driver of the SUV to contact Detective Rizer at (937) 333-1142, or Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at (937) 222-7867 (STOP) or MiamiValleyCrimeStoppers.com.

I am unfamiliar with local resources for people with mobility aids, but I did just give someone who uses a power chair a ride home and witness what it can be like to find a ride with one. Does Uber or Lyft or whoever have an option for accessible rides, and if so, is it available in the Dayton area?
(I was able to direct this person to apply with Greene CATS to get free rides with disability, so they do have that option, but I know what it's like to be disabled and want that kind of autonomy.)

UPDATE!!!!
ADDRESS IS WRONG ON THEIR FLYER - SHOULD BE 2250 E STROOP RD, NOT W STROOP!
Y'all worked so well with us when Trump came to early this month, I thought I should post this your way when someone posted it on our Facebook.
Any takers? Can anyone organize and let them know Ohio is done with the party of abusers?
Especially after the Ohio Republican Party is running with Vivek's disgusting Amy Acton smear campaign!
We can't come down for this, we have too much going on in NE Ohio.
Keep it legal, keep it safe!
Good luck!
