Anyone up for a Knoxville, TN Dopefest?

I will be visiting an uncle who lives in Knoxville, TN when my dad and a couple brothers are going to be there as well the weekend of Saturday, August 12th.

If anyone would like to get together for dinner that evening somewhere, I would love to meet some more Dopers!

Hell, yeah! This Knoxville Doper would like to meet some folks. As far as I know, I’m free Aug.12…but the way my life’s been going lately, I never know from one day to the next what I’ll be doing or where. Keep in touch.

Peace,
TN*hippie

I’ll be an hour away, if this happens, that would be great!

Hey, that would be awesome. My Wife could visit her sister and I could hang with my fellow dopers. I’m only 4 hours away, so that would work out great.

D’oh! I’m going to be in Knoxville that week, but I only have one day and I need to spend it with my Uncle and his family. He has thyroid cancer, and we’re not sure how much time he has left.

Oh well, maybe next time…

The place doesn’t seem outrageously pricy, has vegetarian dishes available, and it’s relatively close to my uncle’s place. Never been there, but it doesn’t look like it sucks…

How far away is it?

aenea, Knoxville’s about 350 miles from Raleigh, right on I-40.

Not too pricey, very good food…but tends to be busy…
I didn’t realize we had so many dopers here in K-town!! And Raleigh is approximately 7 hours away…I used to come home for weekends.
Maybe I’ll join y’all…

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!! Me, me, me, me, me, me!!! (So what if I’ve got a crappy car that will just barely make it! Hmmm…maybe talk my friend into going to do some shopping…) Either way, I am so very there! Count me in!

Unless something drastic happens (and drastic things have been happening to me with increasing frequency), I’ll
definitely be there! “If the Good Lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise, I’ll see y’all soon.”
Peace,
TN*hippie

BUMPING!!!

Well I know that Knoxville is about 4 or 5 hours from Greensboro. I would love to come, but I really do not want to make that trip by myself. Is anyone going from Raliegh or other parts of NC that would consider car pooling ? Just curious . . . .

I’m thinking about it. I’m in Raleigh.

My hubby is complaining about how much I am spending on gas and stuff driving to these fests. :rolleyes: He just doesn’t think that it’s as much fun as I do, or something!

email me if you want to talk about it: illiandra@hotmail.com

I read that like a dyslexic, thought you said 21st. Sorry, not in TN 'till 14th. Hope it works out for you guys though :smiley:

I was able to straighten out my car issues, so assuming I don’t plow into the back of a Jag like the last time Ii was on I-40 (don’t ask), I get to take my new car out for the first time on the highway and I WILL BE THERE!! :smiley:

I want to meet as many people as I xcan from the boards! :smiley:
