In going out for Fondue? For some reason I really have had a craving for fondue, and it is the type of meal that seems better with a group. Would anyone be interested? I was thinking maybe this Friday or Sunday (I have to work Saturday night). ---

Oh man, I would totally be up for that. I can’t find anyone willing to get fondue with me. Unfortunately, I leave for SC tomorrow and won’t be back until the 20th. Then Christmas… I don’t suppose your craving would hold until around December 28 or 29? ---

I’m going out for fondue Friday night – you’d be welcome to join us. 😃 ---

Having just moved to Austin a few months ago, I’m up for my first Dope Fest – even an unofficial mini-fest. And Friday is good for me, as my daughter will be at a sleepover. Mmmmmm, fondue. Haven’t had that in years. ---

Southern Cal or South Carolina? I’ll be out of town from the 29th to Jan 2 or 3. > [@twickster](#): > > I’m going out for fondue Friday night – you’d be welcome to join us. 😃 Thanks for the offer, but that is probably a wee bit longer commute than I was hoping for. What is halfway between Philly and Austin? > [@Kizarvexius](#): > > And Friday is good for me, as my daughter will be at a sleepover. > Mmmmmm, fondue. Haven’t had that in years. Alright there is another. Who else is interested? Cheese fondue is good for vegaterians…. ---

**adam yax** , were you thinking of hitting The Melting Pot? Or did you have another location in mind? ---

> [@Kizarvexius](#): > > **adam yax** , were you thinking of hitting The Melting Pot? Or did you have another location in mind? The Melting Pot is the only place that I know of. However, there seems to be a noticable lack of Austin Dopers responding here. ---

Very true. And the only other Austin Dopers I know personally will probably be out of town. Ah well, another time perhaps. ☹ ---

We’re going to Dallas to see the family and the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert on Saturday. (I know I don’t have to drive to Dallas to see the concert, but its something fun to do with family, lets just hope the roads aren’t icy Friday night!) ---

Okay, now that I am finally home for the next 11 months, my thoughts naturally turn to fondue. Anyone still up for this?
