> [@BMalion](#): > > Oh! simu-post, will you be near downtown? Free for dinner? I have no idea where downtown is–I don’t know Cleveland at all. I’ll be on Coventry in Cleveland Heights visiting my boyfriend. I know we’re planning on going out that evening so any other get together I did would have to be nearby and couldn’t take up the whole evening. ---

Oh, I didn’t mean for you to change the time - just that I’d be late getting there:). If 5 works better for everyone else, stick with 5. And either date works for me. I’m good with majority rules on this one. E. ---

If the date has shifted away from March 31, either April 28 or May 12 are OK for me. (If anyone is still targeting March 31, have a good time.) ---

Oh well. It’s iffy on whether we’d have been able to come on the 31st anyway. ---

Question: does this mean the Dopefest at my house in June is **off**? If we get together in May, nobody will want to come to another one in June. **Please reconsider the Dopefest in April. It’s only two more months until June.** ---

Why would one in April make no one go to one in June? _confused_ ---

> [@OpalCat](#): > > Why would one in April make no one go to one in June? _confused_ Northern Ohio is a special case. While dopefests occur in the DC/Balt. area at the drop of a pair of panties, here in teh tundra of the pothole capital of the US we take our Summer break more seriously. When the snow melts, there are things to do–yards, house repairs, sports, etc. It was a challenge to get the first one off the ground two years ago.
