There seem to be a fair number of Brisbane dopers around now. That means it’s time for the first Brisbane Dopefest!
Details to be worked out when we can find out how many people are up for it. Already signed up are myself, Burnt Sugar and Go You Big Red Fire Engine.
Who else is up for it?
I’m in!
Oh. Wait. Okay, well I’m still in!
I recommend Sizzler. 
Sorry, I never got over the joy of having a self serve icecream machine. 
bump
raises hand.
auliya? Princhester? Booboofoo? Maxxie? Who else?
What is the world coming to?
I reckon there my be more banana-benders on the boards than Vics.
As if being invaded by you lot (and all them crow-eaters) next weekend isn’t going to be bad enough…
Did you post this to G’Dope Goldy?
I … lost my password to there. So no.
May I suggest the Queensland Bookmakers Club in Adelaide Street?
Okay- it hasn’t really moved. It’s still in Wharf Street. :smack:
Just on the offchance that there’s any Bris-Dopers viewing G’Dope, I’ve put a link to this thread there. Have a good one, folks!
Actually… it’s not the first! Primaflora, phraser and I held the first ever “BrisDope” a couple years ago. Another user attended, but for the life of me I can’t remember her username.
I recall advertising it as a BrisDope and many dopers presumed it meant a Doper gathering at a bris!! :eek: Mental note: do not associate the pleasant gathering of SDMB members with the removal of foreskins. :smack:
Soooooo… when and where?
Max.
Well, with 4 people at the last one and 5 people so far this can be the first big Brisbane dopefest! 
Possibly 6, actually, I’m not sure if Cicero’s signed up too.
We’ll leave the lines open for a few more days to see if anyone else wants to come and then work out the where, and when.
In the interests of chivalry, I believe the men should pay for us female dopers.
one last bump
(threads fall off the front page FAST here!)
I’m new to straighdope (I’m cashed out at the moment so I have to wait 'till I get paid to become a member) but I like what I see. I’m not quite sure what a dopefest might involve but I’m keen to find out…
This will be the third Brisbane dopefest. About 3 years ago dpr and a couple of people who also no longer post and whose names I don’t remember organised one. I didn’t make it there. It was very small.
So we need dates, times, places…
Big Red Fire Engine, I am nothing if not chivalrous.
A dopefest is- well a piss up. I can go depending on dates and times of course.
My preference (if anyone cares) would be inner city; possibly after work? (I’m assuming some of you bludgers work )
Okay, 7 people plus possible partners (I want Maxxxie’s partner to come so I can pick her brain about nursing!). Sounds like it will be a good turnout!
Okay, we’ve got Sizzler or the Queensland Bookmakers Club as possible venues. Any other suggestions? Votes?
I am not strongly opinionated as to where or when. I don’t work in paid employment so any time suits me as long as I can lump Mr P with the children. If I can be arsed to organise a respite worker, I might bring Mr P but chances are I won’t get organised to do that and maude knows he won’t.
