I know me and ElusiveMiser, anyone else from around the area? I’d love to have a dopefest. That’d be fun.

Thre’s a bunch of us – we had a Boston Dopefest last summer, and more recently there’s ben a New England Dopefest (check past threads). I’d be up for another, of course. Maybe this time someone will take pictures with which to threaten the world – or at least other Dopers.

It’d be utterly cool to meet all you people, so if you’re game… let’s battle!

No, stop quoting songs for a second! (Hits self)

Actually, I was already thinking of setting something up. The Somerville Theater is showing some silent movies with live accompaniment (first weekend in February, I think). I’m not sure if there’s been a dinner-and-a-movie type dopefest, but I asked a couple folks at the New York fest and there were murmers of interest. I’ll post details in the next couple days.
