Or, for that matter, Baltimore, DC (where I first encountered the Straight Dope), or NYC?
Jersey Shore now, originally from Upper Darby, PA… where the eastern terminus of Philly’s Market-Frankfurt subway is located.
Lots of Philly Dopers. We even get together IRL from time to time.
I’m in school at Kutztown, but “home” is Collegeville for me. I was born and grew up in Upper Darby.
I definitely want to be involved in any partying among the Philly dopers.
I’m only there a few weeks a year now, but the Philadelphia area is originally home for me (Cherry Hill. Sigh.) This summer, if I get a given internship, I’ll be living just outside Philly and commuting to NYC a few days a week.
I’ll be in the area mid- to late-March, if this is some sort of gathering-in-the-making.
MADs means Mid Atlantic Dopers, and we range from Jersey and central PA down to Charm City, DC and NOVa.
Talk to us nicely, and we might teach you the secret handshake. 
You taught it to Bibliocat, and look where that went!
If you meet them IRL, however, don’t casually mention you don’t lock your doors… you find yourself installing auto locks soon enough afterwards.
What dates? I’d be happy to organize something – it’s been at least a year since the last Philly Doper Dinner. Maybe more. (I’m working up in Bucks County now, skewing my orbit significantly.)
15th and Spruce checking in.
The 15th through the 28th. Pretty much any time in that range I’d be up for something.

Been hoping for one, as it seemed like there were always Philly dopes going on when I was out in Harrisburg and poor, but now that I am neither, nothing! Come on guys!
How about a dinner, Center City somewhere, on Saturday the 22nd?
I think I can swing that.
Sounds good to me.
That’s funny! I lived in the Drake Tower during my last seven years in Philly (1993-2000). I loved that building, and I still stop by when I’m in town (which is rare these days) since I’m still friendly with a couple of the desk staff there.
Born and raised in Philly, live in South Jersey and my second home is North Wildwood.
Work near the airport, still buy my bread in Philly, get my hair cut in Philly and see my doctor and dentist in Philly. Where else can you find a dentist named Enrico Verrichio who knew your grandparents who died decades ago and talks to you in Italian?
I live in northeast Philly. The twenty second works for me.
I’ll check the calendar, but I should be able to swing it, and unlike previous PhillyPhests, I promise I’ll do my damndest to be there.

Wow. 12th and Spruce here.
I’ll be in California that weekend however. So no dope gathering for me.
Wait a second. Cainxinth, you’re a law student? Where? I’m a 1L at Temple!
