Boston Area Dopers Unite and Fest

The Boston Dopers (although you don’t have to live in Boston Propah to attend ;)) are getting together and wanted to alert anyone in the area to join us.
Saturday, August 16, 7:00pm. The tentative location is Boston Billiards in Kenmore Square near Fenway Park. It’s accessible by the T and there is free parking in back as well. (No Red Sox game that day.) The group went there last time and all reports were positive.

In order to facilitate nailing down plans, we’re asking folks to send suggestions for alternate locations by this Saturday, June 19, 6:00pm.

People are welcome to respond here or to join Boston Dopers (bostondopers) at Yahoo Groups.

From what I understand, attendance does not imply or require pool playing skills :smiley:

Well it better not require pool playing skills as whatever skills I may have had a decade ago got lost in one (or all) of the three moves since then :slight_smile:

Sounds fun to me…

No, not if the last one was any indication. :wink: But, I’m sure RobotArm would relish a challenge, if anyone happens to have any such skills.

Really, you owe it to yourself to come, if only for the joy of being in the Fenway area on a non-game day. No massive crowds on the T! Parking a-plenty! No fears of running down throngs of people who are all wearing shirts which say “Garciaparra” on the back (as if anyone’s going to really mistake them for Nomar…)!

And, just 'cause it was fun.

Hey I’m in the fenway area on a non-game day about once a month! Soon to be once every two weeks. Then once a week. Then for a whole week! (But I will be stuck on the maternity floor of Beth Israel hospital)

Are you sure they won’t think I’m Nomar? aww shucks

I like aardvarks.

Whaaat? You said I could.

Oh, that’s right—the other reason for ttending the Boston Dopefest! No, not the aardvarks…to make all the SDMB tanookiewacthers jealous!

And the aardvarks? Well, we ain’t sayin’, but…

‘attending’ and ‘tanookiewatchers’, that is. When will I learn never to post before having coffee?!

Aaah caffiene… the forbidden elixir of energy! October 28 gets closer every day :slight_smile:

I think the tanookiewatcher’s club needs T Shirts!

I hope y’all have better luck organizing yours than I’m having trying to get mine together.

Anyway, have a great time. Wish I could join ya’s.

Q

Aardvarks aare uunderrated.

How do you feel about llamas?

I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Llama rhymes with mama.

Intriguing ideas await you, my friend.

Am I really posting? Will this actually go through? Will my dog unplug the computer half way into the process? Are aardvarks really our friends? Is lux fiat really, really intrigued? Is tanookie really Nomar? Have you ever seen them in the same room together?
Will I snort again if I reread Davebear’s post? Will Quasi really join us if we promise to send an aardvark to Georgia in exchange? And how exactly did lorene make the llama-mama connection?
For the answers to these and other questions…

Dude! Three pages, and no consensus! I feel your pain. You shoulda seen the scrambling to get the Cambidgeside Dopefest settled.

Maybe we could arrange some sort of Aardvarks For Armadillos swap. Ya’ll have armadillos down there, doncha? Maybe the knowledge that they’d be in the presence of such a noble beast would rouse some interest.

Don’t you be callin’ my mama no llama!

Dude, how many times must I post the same message before I am believed? Are even the hamsters not corroboration enough? I weep for the republic.

Also, I resolve to attend the next Boston Dopefest that falls on a Saturday, for I have Saturdays off.

No armadillos, Davebear. Possums.
