W00t! I think I can make it (pending confirmation that an all-weekend event has been shifted to the following weekend). ---

Sorry, won’t be able to make it this year. The transportation costs are just too much, and I am planning on going to Astronomicon this year here in Rochester. ---

Darn!! Why couldn’t the University Fair happen next week? I went today, but if it was happening next week, I could’ve gone and then gone to the DopeFest. If you can help me think of another excuse to go downtown, then maybe. 😉 ---

That’s it. 😉 (The big university fair at the hotel, right? 😃 Which ones are you thinking of?) ---

Last bump. As much as I love **Sunspace** , and I do, it’s not going to be much of a Dopefest with only the two of us–so who’s in? ---

Muwahahaha… only now shall I tell you that no attempt at a Toronto Dopefest has ever succeeded without my participation! [sub]Seriously, I hope you get more people. The Toronto folk have not been very good about getting together lately. Perhpas you need to post some names so that people vanity searching can find this thread.[/sub] ---

_sheepishly pokes head into thread_ I’m a Toronto doper who has never come out to a 'fest, to my shame. I confess that weeknights would work much better for me. I am always up for a good after-work drink. Weekends are a lot harder. But I guess for those coming from out of town, weekends are easier. Are we destined to never meet again? _sigh_ What about all the other Southern Ontario dopers - **Amazon Floozy Goddess** , **Dante** , **Kid A** … I know there are others! Oh, and U of T sux. I’d pick Trent if I had it to do over. Or Rye. - **cowgirl** , class of 9T9 ---

Infidel! _whaps with university crest_ 😛 (What college did you graduate from? I’m in Vic right now–we’ve got a decent cafe at Wymilwood, a great library in Pratt, a couple of good residences in Burwash…)
