I didn’t think there WERE any dopes in Boston, I mean, after all, there’s Harvard and Boston College and . . . (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) ---

By the way – Mrs. Cal will be there too (we’ll leave our daughter at home – she’ll be three years ols plus ne week then). Mrs. Cal will, I suspect, be joining the board eventually, with a much better pseudonym than “Mrs. Cal”. ---

MissBunny: If you’re making name tags you might want to add “Pepper Mill” to Mrs. Cal’s. It would identify her in her own right, instead of pegging her merely to me. ---

Cal - Pepper Mill it is. eg - nametag coming up. Also, if anyone’s name is spelled wrong on the list in my previous post (besides Motorgirl’s BF), let me know that too. ---

I’m not in Boston at the moment. Could someone else give a call to the pub and make sure that we’ll have ample space, chairs, drinks, food, hookers, airplanes, trained kangaroos and saxophonists? Any combination of the afore mentioned items will make for a pretty good time, but seating takes priority. ---

1. Stephe96, Trion, Grende69, APB9999, Merlot: are you in? 2. Did anyone ever call the North East and make a res? 3. If you don’t tell me you’re going, no nametag for you! And they’re just beautiful!! Custom-designed - in color - for each username - you’ll have to show up to see what my mental image of you is. ---

I’ll call the place for reservations tomorrow. Also, I’ll probably be a little late to the event. Last chance to get in on the event of a lifetime. ---

waterj2, good thing you just posted - I just realized that I spelled your label wrong. And it’s such a nice one too! (Look, I have a BORING job and I hardly ever get to do anything creative so when I find something I just obsess about it, okay?!) 😉 ---

**missbunny** asks - > [@](#): > > 1. Stephe96, Trion, Grende69, APB9999, Merlot: are you in? I’m afraid that a “no” for me. I have a prior engagement (a friend’s birthday). Not too much of a surprise. This whole month is Prior Engagement Month. Most of next month too. Kinda sucks. I wish I could be there. Have fun!! ---

I was wondering where the hell this thread had gone. Yeah, why not. Count me in. It will be an adventure. I have to warn you, I am shy around strangers. ---

Tomorrow: Saturday, 12 August, 7:00 PM North East Brewing Company, 1314 Commonwealth Avenue. Take the Green “B – Boston College” train to the Griggs Street stop. Jmullaney, I had you down already. Grendel69 and APB9999, I’ll do up some nice nametags for you today. Merlot, next time, okay? ---

I’ll be there. Might be a bit late though, since I have one or two things to take care of that afternoon. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-up-for-a-boston-dopefest/25946.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-up-for-a-boston-dopefest/25946.md?page=6)
