I really enjoyed the first Bamadopefest, and now that Iā€™m a real-true-honest-to-God Doper, I wouldnā€™t miss it if my head were on fire. Iā€™ve talked with Nocturne and the 11th is cool for me. I will most definately be there. OGRE!!! WHERE ARE YOU OGRE!!! ---

I missed the last Bamadope, so count me in for this one. Tuscaloosa sounds fine to me, I live in Hoover. . . I had no idea there were so many Bham and other AL Dopers on the board! ---

Okay, Iā€™ll need to know how far either Tuscaloosa or Birmingham is from Atlanta, but I may be able to do this. And as in the first Bamadope thread, I need to point out that in Africa, elephantsā€™ tusks are tight, but in Alabama, the Tuscaloosa. ---

Can newbies come, too? Pwwweeeeeeese? I can give a ride to anyone in the Atlanta area who wants to go, since I live on the GA/Bama lineā€¦ just bop out to my place, leave your car, and weā€™re on the way! (does that up my desireability?) -BK ---

Sorry, BamaDopers, I will not be able to make it on 8/11. But since the last one sounded like it went well, I know this one will too. That can only mean BamaDope III is in the future, so thereā€™s hope for me yet! ---

Hey count me in! As far as I know Iā€™m free that weekend, and a trip over from Auburn would not be out of the question. Sounds like Big Fun! Hey Bobkitty - if youā€™re nearby we might carpool. ---

Hey, this one might turn out to be pretty big, after all. Iā€™m sorry, **Dire Wolf** , you wonā€™t be able to make this one, either. Same goes for you, too, **Superdude**! But surely there will be a BamaDopeIII. Looking forward to meeting **missdavis102, bobkitty, [sub](I sincerely HOPE newbies can comeā€¦get a load of my post count!)[/sub]Juliana, SaintZero** and **bwk** , though. Come on, fellow Southernersā€¦letā€™s make this a great big olā€™ bash! T-town just wonā€™t be the same after we leaveā€¦(sigh)ā€¦ ---

By the way, Iā€™m bringing nametags to this Dopefest, so I can tell whoā€™s who. I have the worst memory with names, especially when Iā€™m excited. Last Dopefest, I could never remember Pies ā€˜Rā€™ Squaredā€™s real name for the life of me. So, Iā€™m bringing nametags for MY sake. If you donā€™t like it, then I guess Iā€™ll just have to forget your name. Geez, 18 and already having memory problemsā€¦ ---
