I’d love to, but I’ll probably be working at night every day next week. \ ---

I’d love to join you guys for trivia at Taco Mac, or even karaoke at the local, but I’m stuck with the third shift now and don’t get off until 2am. Work is for chumps. ---

Okay, here’s what we came up with (a week ago; sorry for the delayed report). We’ll have the AtlantaDope the third weekend in July. That’s **Friday, July 19th** through **Sunday, July 21st**. We will engage in certain activities. There were five women in the Go-Gos. Additional details were left for subsequent planning sessions. Your suggestions are welcome, or as we say down here, all y’all let us know what you think! ---

Shoot, maybe I should get in on this, provided I’m welcome of course. I live on 12th Street between the Peachtrees so just about anywhere would be easy enough for me to get to. ---

Wait a second… There are Dopefests in **Atlanta**? But that, that’s where **I** live! _mumblemumble_maybeforcedtoattend_mumblemumble_ ---

So, ideas for activities? Everything that occurs to me seems lame: Six Flags Stone Mountain World of Coke museum Clubbing in the Highlands Sex at my house Any of you have something good we can do with Dopers? ---

I just wanted to say it in two places, because that makes it better. I am coming to this fest. ---

I will moren’ likely be at this thing, but I’m bankrupt for ideas considering the last time I was in Atlanta for any extended period of time, I was five years old. ---

Although I will most likely be there and I’m from Atlanta, I am an extremely boring person. My idea of fun is Trivial Pursuit or PS2 and a little schmokey-schmokey. 😉 So I’ll let the interesting people make the plans. 😃 ---

I’m still not giving up on this idea, folks. Who still has an interest? The weekend of July 19th looms ever larger. ---

I’m still mostly in, since I have a place I can stay in ATL that my parents won’t go crazy with anger over. Now it’s just figuring out exactly how I’m going to get there. I’ll figure something out.
