What all would a Dopefest entail? Restaurant? Est. number of dopes? Indoors? Outdoors? I just joined the board but I could get into driving down to Boston, from Maine, to do this… ~ tapu Ah. Al fresco. Goddit. ---

My summer is pretty crazy, so I don’t know if I could make it, but this might help your planning: [http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/blog/bbj\_research\_alert/2012/06/outdoor-patio.html](http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/blog/bbj_research_alert/2012/06/outdoor-patio.html) ---

I’d be interested, as, I’m sure, Pepper Mill would. Our summer is simple and straightforward. It’s MilliCal’s that’s already got a full social calendar. ---

I’m up for whatever. I just can’t make it between July 19th and 26th, unless we want to meet in Vineyard Haven. ---

We can do the end of the month **tdn**. Anyone willing to trek to the South Shore? (Okay if not) ---

I’d like to attend. But over the summer it’s just hit or miss, I can’t reserve a date, but pick one and maybe it will work out. South Shore is fine for me.
