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: [http://www.nuvo.net/archive/092001/cuisine/092001\_cuisine\_b.html](http://www.nuvo.net/archive/092001/cuisine/092001_cuisine_b.html) [http://www.indybeer.com/VS-Favorites.html](http://www.indybeer.com/VS-Favorites.html) 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.) ---

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). ---

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) ---

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

**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 🙂 ) **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? ---

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:) ---

I keep forgetting not everyone knows about the soap thing. 🙂 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! ---

I’d also love to meet other Indy dopers. Is there a minimum post count? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/calling-all-indianapolis-central-indiana-and-hoosier-dopers/169134.md?page=2)
