I’ve been on this board for over a year, and have never seen a Boston area dopefest posted. Are we just stuck-up New Englanders who are too introverted to meet in person? I say No Way! Is anyone interested in planning a night out in Boston in April? I was thinking we could head to the Enormous Room in Cambridge. It’s very laid back, has good music and drinks, and is conducive to conversation. Any takers? ---

I might be able to come but you already know me. ---

**Morgainelf** – we’ve had two Boston-area Dopefests that I’ve attended, and at least one other besides. I think you just haven’t been here long enough. (“Stuck up” “Introverted”, indeed!) But that’s a sign, I think, that it’s time for another. ---

Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but _I’m_ stuck up and introverted. 🙂 I’m joking, I’m joking. Please don’t hurt me. ---

I might be enticed into making an appearance, just to be sociable. Got a date/time in mind? ---

I’d love to meet some of the BostonDopers, although I’ll only be in town until the beginning of May. (Hooray for summer break!) ---

I’d love to come, but I can’t. I am too stuck up and introverted. OK, that isn’t true. I just don’t have the time, but I wish I could. It sounds like fun. ---

I’m down. I have never heard of this “Enormous Room” of which you speak, but if they have beer there, I shall be content. ---

OK - looks like we have some takers! Two dates: Either 4/4 or 4/25. Which will work better? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boston-mini-dope-anyone/162015.md?page=2)
