I’ll be in the area in August, but unfortunately, it’ll be later in the month. Someone tape a note to the underside of a table for me, so I can find it later and feel connected to the party! ---

Man, this would have been so convenient when I lived at 2130 P street. I could have spit on the Brickskeller when the wind was right. Alas, those days (that decade!) are long since gone, though I get back for a few days now and then. Not during the hellish DC summers so much, though. ---

I’d say there’s a good chance I can make it. –Cliffy ---

Please add me to any e-mail list. I’m hoping to get up to DC for a two or three day getaway sometime this summer and would hope to coincide. ---

For those who missed it, the date in consideration is August 5th. So far that seems to be agreeable to almost everyone (sorry it’s not good for you, **Antigen** , but we can probably be talked into joining you for a beer when you are down here). ---

Thanks for the reminder, **Wendell**. The 5th would work fine for me – and it’s my birthday! ---

Happy birthday **Shakespeare**! You know we’ll have to see a driver’s license before you get any free beers out of us, of course. I should be able to attend (and I believe my lovely **El Perro Fumando** was considering coming along too). ---

Those targeted ads are just plain mean (and funny). Seeing “perro”, the ads are _Zero [pet] Odor / How to Potty Train Dogs / Housebreaking Dogs / Dogs Ringtone_. ---

I’ve put it on my calendar. I’ve only been to one Dopefest before, and that was years ago. **Misnomer** and I will be able to to tell you about [our day at the track](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7512531#post7512531). (See posts 51 and 68.) What time? ---

Assuming that there’s non-beer stuff there (since I’m not over 21 by a long shot), I might be able to make it. It depends on what the parental units say.
