There's sure to be plenty of aperture at the site. Along with a bunch of great CNers.
We'll have to mention this thread to other folks from OH, MI, PA, IN, etc. Of course all CNers are invited including folks from AZ and TX etc. 
As our friendships have grown within the CN community I'm very happy to be a part of the first official star party specifically for Cloudy Nightsters by Cloudy Nightsters.
The site is in Lodi Ohio about 5 miles south of the Cuyahoga Club's facility at Letha House Park in Chatham Twp.
and easy to find from I-71 and I-76 exchange.
Hope to see you there!

About 90 minutes North of me. Where would one find more information? If it's June I got to plan now... or the wife will make alternate plans (that does have it's up side sometimes!)

Hi Mark. The main source of info will be this thread.
It's all coming together for the weekend of June 15th.
You can PM Droid, me, Old Salt or Dob Frog any time at all.
You never can tell if a jam session might pop up as well. Got room for the scope and the guitar?

 Room for the guitar(s) and scope is not a problem. It's the 100w head and 2x12 cabinets that begin to take up space...

I'll make it... is the Skytour party still happening? I'm confused, as usual...

At this point we do not know if SkyTour is happening, so we started our own little starparty.

Hi Nick. Buck-Eye on the Sky was sort of born out of the cancelation of Sky Tour. There were about 25 of us CNers there last year, up a bit from the year before. When we heard they weren't having it any longer we decided that we all had such a great time that the party would go on regardless. Thus BEOTS was founded.
