The last one I remember was last July. And it’s been that long since I’ve been to Durgin Park. I’m suffering from potroast withdrawel. I’m no longer limited to weeknights, but they are still good. ---

Hey, we can go there instead. I’m flexible. ---

I’d be all for it! But weeknights are hard. I work in Plymouth. Stupid Rte 3. ---

I could make it again, the last one was fun. But weeknights are the only time I can make it, Wed or Thu is best. ---

True coincidence on how I found this thread: I just did a search for the term “Boston”. Why? So I could start to finally compose an unofficial list of all the Boston area dopers (IANAS I swear). Why? So I could maybe start PM’ing a couple of you guys to see who might be interested in a Boston Dopefest. Well **tdn** , you beat me to it. I would love the chance to meet a couple of you guys, it would be my first time. I work nights, so schedule-wise I’m pretty flexible for weekend or weekday. Conceivably I could be available to go out any day. Just the difference between **bbs2k** drinking a Sam Adams or \*\*bbs2k \*\* drinking a diet Coke because he has to work that night. ---

Thanks for pointing me here, **bbs2K**. Have you done the same for other BostonDopers? (Not fishing to see if I’m special, really. Just wondering if other outreach is needed.) I’d be interested. Weeknights are easier for me in general. The usual disclaimers apply. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=lorene] Have you done the same for other BostonDopers? [/QUOTE] I sent a PM (ie hassled) everyone who even posted once in the last thread. I made up a list of Boston dopers by sorting through a couple Boston-based threads (mainly the ATHF litebrite incident thread and a thread ranting about the new MBTA Charlie Card). I think I got 29 dopers, and 4 ‘maybe in the area’ peoples. But the list I’m sure is not complete. I didn’t bother those members… yet. ---

Cool. Thanks for doing that! There are always a few, “Man, I wish I had seen this before…” replies to a post-gathering thread. ---

I know I’m a “Jersey Doper,” but depending on the date you guys set I might be able to come. See, I’m actually located in New Hampshire, and as of the beginning of July I’ll have a car, rendering Boston about a two hour drive tops. Just don’t tell **What Exit?** , kay? 😉 ---
