Bamadope II?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Calling all Bamadopers (and of course, any interested MSDopers, TNDopers, and GADopers)…

I’ve talked to a few of you, and we seemed to have reached a consensus: Another Bamadope!

The last one was so much fun, why not have another one, especially since some of our esteemed Bamadopers were out-of-pocket?

I’m here to start the ball rolling…does anyone have any ideas for a date? place?

I was thinking early August, but some of you might have different ideas. I can’t really get to anywhere besides Tuscaloosa (and possibly Birmingham, but that’s a long shot), but if you guys want something different, that’s cool with me.

Anyhow, let’s get this show on the road!

I’m bumping this for obvious reasons…

3

well, best that I can tell, the 2nd weekend of August would work for me in either Tuscaloosa or Birmingham.

Osip
will not know for sure till it is closer to August.

Osip

Sign me up. I’m pretty flexible on dates around then. I’m in Bham, so anywhere is easy except Mobile.

5

Osip, you’re talking the 11th of August or so?

dqa, glad to have you with us. :slight_smile: I really hope that Tuscaloosa’s good with everyone, because that’s where we met last time.

So where are you SilkyThreat? Ogre? Simetra? Dire Wolf? The rest of you?

6

Okay, bumping this yet again…come on guys…

7

Dire Wolf, Silky, all those who have said they’re interested, here’s the thread one more time. If it dies after this, I’m not reviving it.

8

Now that I have a car, it might be possible this time. :slight_smile: I have noted 8-11 on the calender, and that day falls after Juliana’s payday. So… Hey, it might happen!

9

August 11 is doable and plannable. However, we do have two toddlers that go with us wherever we go. I have inferred from other Dopefest reports that children are a problem. Will they be here?

10

A MS doper checking in, Tuscaloosa would be best for me, since I don’t have a car!

I’ll keep that August date in mind. Hey, whereabouts are the rest of you MS dopers?

11

Extremely sorry for the late reply to this thread! I have been in HELL…dying with a kidney stone since yesterday morning.

Yes, August 11th (or thereabouts) seems perfectly acceptable to me. Tuscaloosa is fine, too. It’s only about 45 minutes away, tops.

I hope the other BamaDopers see this thread and respond! We need another party!

bwk, I’d love to help you out on the ride situation, but MS is a bit far for me. Maybe someone in MS can help you out. We’d really love for you to be able to come!

12

Personally, Juliana, I like kids. I wouldn’t have a problem if they came along. What does everyone else think?

Sorry about your kidney stone, Silky. :frowning:

13

Juliana, kids are certainly no problem in MY book, considering I have four of them! Bring 'em on! What are their ages? I might even be tempted to bring mine. (Only three would be coming, however; one is already grown and would probably be working.) I have already asked Mr. Silky (he’s gonna hate that nick!) if he wants to come, so he can holler at kids while we have a good time!

Nocturne, I’m doing a bit better today, thanks to the gods. I really do think August the 11th, or somewhere in that vicinity, would be just fine. No plans here for anything else.

I hope Simetra, Ogre, Dire Wolf and others see this thread. I would love having a giant BamaDopeFest. It would really be great, doncha think?
COME ON BAMA (and surrounding southern state) DOPERS!!! I can’t beleeeeeeve ya’ll don’t want to party!!!

14

SilkyThreat, our children are 3 and 2. Our son (3) is a little gentleman. Our daughter, however… :smiley:

And I’m happy to see so far that kids aren’t an issue. I really appreciate y’all’s honesty.

bwk, we’re in Jackson. We’d love to give you a ride, but we now have a Taurus. I don’t know if you’d fit in the back with two carseats…

As for Tuscaloosa itself: can anyone recommend a good hotel in the area? And what’s good to chow on there?

15

Maybe bwk could ride in the trunk? :wink:

Juliana: The last time we Dopefested, we ate at Arman’s Coyote Grill or whatever the heck it was called. I recommend NOT going there again because the waitstaff there doesn’t know how to add.

As for hotels, I wish I could help, but Tuscaloosa’s 45 minutes away, so I never need to stay overnight.

16

Hey, I wasn’t looking for a ride… I know how to do the bus thing. I was just saying I think Tusc would be better than B’ham…

17

BWK: That’s cool. Where do you live, by the way?

I’m partial to quite a few things to eat.

18

Make sure to bring your own possum skinning knife…no borrowing. You need to make sure not to repeat the ‘Dave’ incident

19

Okay okay… nobody panic. I’m here. :smiley:

August 11th is very cool with me, and I think I can get to Tuscaloosa now with my eyes closed, so color me there, and if anyone needs a ride. :slight_smile:

Silky, I’m so sorry to hear about your kidney stone… I’m sending you all kinds of healing thoughts. Get better soon.

Where you at, Ogre?!

20

Also, Juliana… I think it’d be schway cool to have the little ones there. Especially if you have a little princess. :slight_smile:

I guess Nocturne’s working out the details on this one? Just tell me when and where cutie, and if you need any help… :wink:

Again, where you at Ogre?

Pies too, for that matter.
