Alright, so I miss Spiritis’s shindig last month because I had to work. But I want another chance! Any Boston area dopers up for a get together? I have absolutely no idea when’s good for me, but I’m thinking a Wednesday night maybe? Or any day around lunchtime could be arranged. I just work mostly nights, so it’s hard to plan stuff around that. But if anyone’s intrested, please, let me know! ---

Howyadoin, [obligatory Python reference] “Good idea, my Lord!” **"OF COURSE IT’S A GOOD IDEA!"** [/obligatory Python reference] A Wednesday night sounds good. Ideas on location? I’m on the North Shore myself, but driving’s not a big deal… -Rav ---

Count me in, if it’s an evening or weekend. ---

The last shindig was definitely tons of fun. (It’s too bad you had to leave early, **RobotArm**.) Sadly, it’s almost time for me to go back to school. So, if the fest happens sometime between August 20[sup]th[/sup] and 24[sup]th[/sup] (that’s a Monday through a Friday), I should be able to make it. If not, don’t worry about me. Any time (night or day) during that week is good for me. I know that **Pammi** and I are both coming from the South Shore, but i’m flexible in terms of destination. ---

Like Stephen said, I’m coming from the south shore. (When did I ever mention this? Is he stalking me already?!?) I’m open to suggestions as to where, and I don’t mind driving a bit to get there. I’m addicted to my car. I’m only 19 though, so it can’t be anywhere age restricted. Other than that, I dont care. Actually, I lied…I won’t go to McDonalds 😃 But anywhere else is good… Wednesday the 22nd work for everyone? ---

The 22nd is fine with me. What sort of a place were you thinking of? ---

The 22nd is probably a little close to the closing for my house (27th) to be making social plans, but we’ll see. I had a great time at the last one, and maybe this time I can get the young rocket scientist to come along and describe his exploits for himself. 🙂 ---

Actually, you _did_ mention the name of the town where you lived once. (In your new apartment thread, maybe? I can find a link if you like…) So no, I’m not stalking you. … Not yet, anyway. That Wednesday is good for me… ---

That’s funny, I’d _swear_ I posted to this thread this morning in order to bump it. What I said was something along the lines of, let’s make a deal. **Pammi** and I will promise not to scare you off with in-thread flirting, if you all promise to come to the dopefest and make it happen. Sound good? Excellent… [sub]And then I muttered something about not posting before waking up or ingesting caffeine. It was kinda funny, whatever it was. Sigh… [/sub]
