I think it’s time to make an appeal to all those self-absorbed vanity-searchers.

Some _variation_ of me? Anyway, I regret that post-holiday finances dictate that I am unable to make it. I promise I’ll come to one when I move back to the UK though. ---

We’ve been having huge fun ever since… this man is the most incredible man on earth and I adore him beyond measure… just thought I’d tell ya why we’re gonna be a tad busy and can’t make it to LonDope!!! But I hope you all have a great time and I’m sure we’ll drink to your health… and then get back to whatever it was we were doing 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Honeydew \* > **he was a bit hot that day** You’re telling me! ROWR! 😃 I’m so happy for you and **Emofkuniv** , you make the perfect couple. Shame you wont be there for the fest, but there will be others, and you two will have to attend just so people can run a book on which of us doper couples (there’s a few others too) can out glurge the others! 😃 ---

As did I. It was fun, as the piccies prove. However, you’ll be without me this time - too much work, and my cousin’s wedding on the same day as the DopeFest prevent me from attending. ☹ ---

Count me in, but I just want to check that it’s still on for the 23rd of August. And what about the venue, has that been confirmed? Can’t wait to meet you lot and see what you all look like. ---

Does anyone want to do something during the day on Saturday? What do you fancy? ---

I had a thought - anyone fancy a matinee performance of [A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Regents Park open air theatre](http://www.openairtheatre.org/whats.htm) on Saturday afternoon? Cheapest tickets £9 (back row). I’ve checked availability - still plenty of tickets left but they may go quite quickly.
