Anyone interested in doing another one in September? I was really looking forward to this ☹

September sounds good. My first Doper F2F was on my birthday in September 2001. This year it’s on a Thursday, so I wasn’t thinking of repeating that.

I’d probably be up for something in September, too, depending on when/where. Suddenly I’m all about meeting other Dopers. 🆒

I’m game for one in September! I’ll be sitting in a hot tub in the Rockies on the 5th so I’ll miss this one, poor me.

I love the idea of trying to get the MADinners going again. When planning for the next one starts, would someone please shoot me an email? I would have missed this thread if Danceswithcats hadn’t alerted me to it.

I can’t wait to see all my old doper friends, it’s been way too long! Brooke most of all!! I’m so glad you’re moving back: Squeeeee!

I might be up for something in September, but at this point making plans for even two weeks out is a little tough.

Anybody posting a reminder on the MAD Yahoo group? Or did I just get the short straw?

I didn’t know there was such a thing! I went to Yahoo Groups and tried searching on a few terms, but couldn’t find it (I found the Irish Dopers group, though … 🆒 ). Where it is/what’s it called?

madopers (at) [yahoogroups.com](http://yahoogroups.com). I don’t know if it’s available via the search feature.

Someone please repost the latest info, and I’ll send it out to the mailing list.
