URL=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=4215152#post4215152]From this topic. **What:** Arizona/PhoenixDopefest **When:** Either Jan 10th or 11th **Where:** Tempe Town Lake (more specific area noted later) **Info:** Seems from that topic, this date and location is most agreed upon. Well, since it was my idea in the first place, what I’ll do is bring Hamburgers, Hot dogs, the buns for each, and some condiments (mustard, ketchup, relish, mayo, etc). However I don’t know how to grill :o _sheepish_ So somebody else would have to do it. I would also ask that everyone who came would bring a long a dish or some sort of snack item. Something that would feed about 11-16 other people. Kids/SOs welcome of course. From the linked topic the list of maybe’s (and For now I’m putting all of you as maybe’s until you can reply to this and verify that those dates and location are good for you) are as follows: **lel** **SanguineSpider** **Phlosphr** **Idle Thoughts** **Yumanite** **scout1222** **Fallfast** **DaToad** **GIGObuster** **malkavia** So if you are able to make it, please confirm it, tell who else you will be bringing, and also the item you would grace us with. 🙂 Directions will be given as requested. Please, anybody. If you are in the area around that time, or wish to join, feel free to post here and tell us. The more, the merrier. ---

Oh yeah, baby! I was just thinking that we should bump the thread. You’re reading my mind! Since I’ll be away from home, I’ll probably end up bringing something store-bought. Like maybe some chips? ---

Sounds good. Chips always make for a great get together. Will it just be you? ---

It might be possible… MIGHT. It’s a ways for me but… I’ll try. My car hates me, you see. She may have a “temper tantrum”. If I can convince my SO to go then the car issue isn’t a prob. I’d really like to go though but I will give a yay or nay one way or another soon. ---

Phlosphr + Mrs.Phlosphr would love to attend. I’m tenatively going to say we will be there.\* What time? We’ll bring the huge salad. Classes end the 19th and We’ll be flying out the 22nd. There may be a caveat to all this, as my MIL is not well as of right now. So if things do not go as planed for her, we will not be in AZ for the winter break. ☹ Anyone can feel free to email if applicable. Oh and we will be coming from Ahwatukee, if we do some out, so if anyone needs a ride let me know. ---

I guess we should probably clarify whether we’re talking the 10th (Sat) or the 11th(Sun). I’m leaning towards the fact that we’re talking about the 10th? ---

The 10th is good for me as well? That good for the ones so far in here? And time…Hrm…Not too early, but not too later either…How does 10amish sound for everyone? I’ll be making a list in here with the definates and what they are bringing later today. ---

Well poop! My first possible dopefest and I can’t make it. I’ll be on the east coast for work for about 2 weeks during those dates. Well take lots of pictures and post em. ---

OK, I got so excited thinking about the Superstitions in that thread, that I’ve planned a little backpacking trip form the 6th to the 9th or 10th. So I’ll come by on my way back, with (perhaps) some tired Ramblers in tow. 10 am would be bad for me, I think, later might be better (like afternoon). If y’all decide to do it at 10, I’ll swing by when I’m back and see if it’s still going on. How am I going to identifiy the right group of people, assuming you’re still there? A big, “Welcome, Dopers!” banner? I’m still working on what I’ll bring. ---

I’ll just walk up to everyone and say, “Hey, **Yumanite** , good to meet you!” and hopefully you will respond. 😃 **SanguineSpider** , just thinking, anything that would make it easier to come? ---

Do they still make thos kid harnesses? I used to wear on when I was little. They go around the chest and allow a leash to clip onto a hook in the back. ---
