I am unable to make this one, sadly. > [@bobkitty](#): > > I would think it would depend on the circumstances surrounding their ‘former’-ness. I know the former Doper wanting to attend, and I personally would not want to be in the same room with them. But some folks are way more tolerant of intentional trolling, whining about being treated unfairly, and insulting mods. (shrug) Or, maybe not _sadly_, per se… Eh, I would like to see or meet most of you. ---

**Erictelevision** from the Mellophant board asked me to post, “if you go to the zDope b4 dinner tomorrow, look for the bearded dude in the wheelchair.” ---

Sorry I can’t make this one, not being a Bostonian anymore, but it sounds like fun, even with all the tourists infesting Faneuil Hall. Post some pix? ---

I’m still planning to be there, so +1 if anyone is trying to get a headcount. I did invite a lapsed doper, but she can’t make it. Will we all recognize each other? It’s been a while. ---

Had a very nice time. On the way home, stopped at a pastry shop for a cannoli. My life is sequential threads. ---

I ended up getting called down to TX on an impromptu business trip the morning of this. When I got back, I found out I might be losing my job, and started an emergency job hunt. So, apologies for organizing a meet-up then not showing up for it. I hope it was fun!
