I vote for the 4th, only because I already have my schedule for that week, and I know I can make a nighttime rendevous
(is that even close to being spelled right?). The 24th I might be able to make, but I won’t know for another few weeks.
OK - End of the Merrimack Valley hijack, back to Bean Dope!
(Hmmm, not sure on that name).
Date: Friday, May 2.
Here’s the plan:
- Dinner in or near Central Square, Cambridge, at 8pm. (Location TBD)
- Move on over to Enormous Room for drinks and conversation around 10pm.
- If anyone’s up for it, stumble over to Manray to dance later in the evening.
Who’s in?
Works for me. 
That seems like a really long way away. I can prolly make it, but be sure to remind me closer to the day…
Yes, if anyone expects me to attend, they’d better bump this thread or email me in late April.
I’m the queen of the bump - just ask the mods. Or, you’ll be able to see for yourself if we all go to Manray!

I’m on vacation the week of May 2nd, so I won’t be able to make it 
Hearing all this talk about Haverhill and such…I went to Bradford! And my best friend lives a mile or so from Whittier’s birthplace…
…what a small world…

Last minute idea-toss out: Anyone want to grab dinner/drinks this Friday night? I’m off early, no plans, and looking for something to do. Email me, maybe we can work something out, either as a group, or just a few of us
If we can pull off 2 dopefests in a month, I’ll be so amazed…
I wanna go!!! But I can’t … life is just poo sometimes !!!
Awww Pammipoo I’m just getting around to reading the dope this morning! Bummer.
I think she meant next week, the 11th.
Ah yes, I guess you’re right. In that case I’ll just have to check with Mr. Elf to see if we have any plans yet.
I’d be willing, if work allows. I’d feel funny about emailing, though. Could we just arrange it, here?
Sorry, yeah, I meant next Friday.
And Davebear, if you don’t want to email me (sniff), we can figure out details in here. I just figured I’d try and spare the hapsters a little
I guess you’re right, about the hamsters. And, I hate making women cry. And, now I feel like a (lowercase) dope. One email, coming up.
Dave, you’ve just got to get a yahoo mail account for free and no one will ever know your ‘real’ address.
Nog (nogginhead@yahoo.com)
So, is this still on? Do we know when/where we’re meeting, yet?
I thought it might be good to raise the issue, again, early enough to get it resolved in time for people to decide if they’re coming.
I’m still in!
I like Morgainelf’s idea. This TBD place sounds fun.
Yeah, see, it’s that TBD thing I’m concerned about . Wandering around Central Square yelling, “Straight Dope! Anyone for Straight Dope?” on a Friday night is bound to attract the wrong kind of attention.
