Calling All Indianapolis, Central Indiana, and Hoosier Dopers!!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Let’s get together again!!! We all had such a fabulous time at BW-3 in March that I think we should gather again.

I really liked the atmosphere of BW-3 for a DopeFest - casual yet fun. My other suggestion would be Yat’s. I prefer the one at 54th and College ('cause Downtown parking SUCKS!!!) If you’ve never been there, they have good, cheap cajun/creole food served in abundance. When I say cheap, I mean $5 for a plate with bread on the side ($6 if you want to make it half-and-half with 2 entrees), $1 for a soda (free refills), and 50 cents for extra bread.

They make everything fairly low on the heat-o-meter, but have dozens of sauces, tailored to every level of taste bud abuse.

Here are a couple of things I pulled from Google in a hurry:

So, whaddaya think?

I’m in as long as it’s Sunday - Thursday evening and not during the period May 23 - May 31 (I’ll be seeing the Grand Canyon then.)

3

Wonderful!! I’ve never seen the Grand Canyon, either.

I think a weeknight would work well for most people. Just no Thursdays for me (dinner with the in-laws).

4

I’d LOVE to make this one, but if at all possible, I’d like for it to be after finals week at IUPUI (1st week in May)

5

I’ll see what I can do - May 10-17 are out (going to Disney World!) 8:^)

6

Yat’s sounds great. Cajun food is my favorite, and that’s a good location. I’m always up for food.

7

Are lurkers welcome?

(Yats. Mmmm.)

8

It sounds good to me. Apparently, nobody’s thrown a dart at the calendar yet, but I’ll “watch this space.”

–Nott, the galoot

9

vunderbob, do you mean the first full week of May (4-10) or the first few days in May (1-3)? (By the way, I’ll be joining you at IUPUI on May 14 :slight_smile: )

irishajo, of course!! We need all the IndyDopers we can get!!

So 10-17 and 23-31 are out.
Monday - Wednesday.
We all seem to be OK with Yat’s (so far).
Am I missing anything?

10

Sounds good to me!

11

Too busy in May, most likely. Maybe some other time.

12

Oh yeah! Memememe!

And I’m guessing Todd33rpm as well.

I’ll bring soap this time, if I can find some hidden in my soaproom.

whoohooo!

14

Soap???
Ummmmm…I plan on washing BEFORE I see you guys. (But if it turns into some weird kinky group-bathing experience, I guess that would be ok…maybe. :eek:)

15

Finals, as I remember them, are the 4th-10th.

What’s happening on the 14th? :confused:

16

I’m in Fort Wayne but couldn’t make a weeknight. If ya’all decide to have it on a weekend, I’m there!

17

I’d love to get the chance to meet other Indy-area dopers even though I have less than a half-dozen posts to my name.

18

I keep forgetting not everyone knows about the soap thing. :slight_smile:

I’m a soapmaker, avarie. Soap and candles, actually, and all sortsa fun body products.

Munch has tried my soap, and a few other Dopers from another fest I attended some time ago.

Thus, the rather odd gift of soap.

Can’t wait to see everyone!

Why, the first summer session begins!!
I’ve got a thread here discussing my utter delight at returning to the studious life after a four year hiatus.

20

I’d also love to meet other Indy dopers. Is there a minimum post count?
