Any Hoosier Dopers Wanna Get Together?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Not in that manner, you pervs!

I was just thinking that it’s been quite a long time since I’ve seen any Indiana Dopers, and wanted to catch back up with you guys, and maybe meet some new folks!

My husband is going to be out of town the weekend of August 13th, so I’m going to be all by my lonesome. Anybody wanna come keep me company?

In the past, we’ve met at BW3, Yat’s, and my house.

So, any takers? Munch, bodypoet, todd33rpm, AskNott, I’m lookin’ at you!

I’ve also noticed that Dazzling White Diamonds, Sternvogel, and JimSox5 are from Indiana.

So, who’s up for it?

I was going to come to the last IndyDope, but something didn’t work out. Can’t remember what it was now. Pencil me in, I might be able to make it.

As of now, I don’t have any plans for that weekend, but I can’t say for sure that I’ll be able to make it. Sounds fun, though. If I show up, I’ll be accompanied by Long Time First Time, who’s out of town right now (but due to return tomorrow).

Other Hoosiers who come to mind are Indygrrl, Indyellen, simplycats, and Sattua (who is, or at least recently was, a Purdue student). I’m sure I’ll think of one or two more shortly after this post appears.

Thanks for thinking of me, Sternvogel! That looks like a good weekend for me so far; I’ll pencil it in. I’ll also try to help think of someplace to meet, Avarie537, if you’d like.

Keep me posted!

Can I (and my wife) play with you guys? We live in Indy. But we might be having a baby that week. :slight_smile:

Baby, schmaby. Where are your priorities, man? Just tell the little woman to keep her legs crossed until Monday. :wink:

I missed the last IndyDope for some dumb reason. I’m delighted to see so many Hoosiers here.

I think that’s the weekend that my niece is getting married…in Indianapolis! We’d love to come so keep us posted!

Aeschines, we’d love to see you and the missus, pre- or post-partum. Hell, bring along the little one if s/he’s here already. :smiley:

Hmm … maybe VunderBob and family will be in town that weekend. They’re former Hoosiers who left for greener pastures (as in, a paying job!) last year.

I’m not sure what my schedule’s going to look like after next month comes around… I’m starting a new project at work that’s sure to really knock me for a loop. However, I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread, and hopefully I’ll be able to make it!

Just a bump so I can subscribe to the thread. I forgot to do it yesterday. D’oh!

I heard from Munch last night. He let his membership lapse because of work, but he’s still interested in joining us, once we get something figured out.

Am I crazy for posting this two months in advance?? I feel like it! I just know that I’ll be free that weekend, but we might be able to move it closer, if that would work out for y’all.

11

I may be able to go (I’m in Bloomington), I wanted to meet bodypoet & todd33rpm but never got a chance. I don’t know if they’ll go to this one though.

12

Well, it’s a whole lot closer to that time now! I’ve speculated about Festing next weekend whilst hubby is gone, but I will have to deliver his pie entries to the State Fair on Saturday. Not to say we can’t still get together at that time, but I’ll have to plan my delivery accordingly.

Thoughts, plans, ideas??? My email addy is avarie537 @ yahoo.com in case anyone needs it.

13

Just give me some definite details and I’ll do my damnedest to be there.

14

I’m in Indiana, too. Near the Terre Haute area.

15

Can I come? I live in Greencastle.
Oh boy! My first Dopefest

16

Well, I know in another thread (about GenCon) you’d mentioned possibly bumping the Fest to the following weekend (8/20) because of other Dopers being in town that weekend, but either would probably work for me.

Never having been to a Dopefest, are they family friendly? I have my daughter the weekend of the 13th, and since I only see her every other weekend I try to include her in stuff I’m doing if possible (and if she won’t be bored - she’s 12.)

Keeping posted! :slight_smile:

17

I’m a Hoosier , too , tho I am pretty shy with people I don’t know , so I don’t know as I’d be fun for y’all .

Just what do you DO at a Dopefest ? My curiosity is piqued .

Greencastle? Do they let you all out of your cages now? :wink:

Only on the weekends :smiley: . Besides, I’m not a pinhead I’m a townie :cool:

I remain unconvinced. I still assert that you are infected by sheer proximity and will have to go through painful detox before attending. :smiley:
