I tried to change my registered email address yesterday, and the hamsters ate it. There is something so typically St Louis about a Dopefest starting out in **the Pit** Checking my July social calendar finds a cousin’s wedding and a family reunion on successive weekends. I can’t say I am looking forward to, or necessarily have to go to, either. Sure **FandJ** Metro-east siders are welcome, if you dare cross the 37-mile wide river [as a friend from Belleville describes the Mississippi] Maybe even **Shayna** and **Spiny Norman** could possibly make the long trip. ---

That sounds good to me too. I’m sure I can manage another Saturday off. don’t count on a Sunday tho…my turn to work one is coming. ☹ My suggestion for something at maybe Westport is still in the pot. If anyone esle has any other suggestions for a different location, feel free to throw them in the hat. **Crunchy** and I are totally open. 😃 I’m off to bed. The porn leaves the store fast in the early hours!! Must be sharp. ---

A mini-dope somewhere in Westport is fine with me. I think that is where the last one was. I work downtown, but as I stated in the **Pit** thread, live in glorious St. Ann. ---

Just let me know when and where to show up… I feel it’s only fair that everyone from STL has the chance to taunt the person who’s “rant” about St. Louis’ cusine as brought all of you together for a STL Dopefest… ---

I’m easy. I haven’t been that far north of Olive so I don’t have a clue what’s up there. Just tell me when and where. ---

There is also **Margarita Mama’s** right outside of the _Funny Bone_. I was just informed today by my lovely boss that I have to work next Saturday (26th) evening. If this is a day that everyone is down for, let me know. I may not be totally held to it. Contrary to what **Crunchy** has said, I am **not** mean. I am acutally very sweet…and I’m very very cute. ---

Mini-St. Louis Dope Fest, Saturday 19th Casa Gallardo What time? The 26th and 27th is [Pride Weekend](http://www.stlouisgayguide.com/Pride.html), so I’ll be at Pride Activities. Y’all are welcome to join that, too. I’ll be working the booth/canvassing for [The Constitutional Defense League](http://www.constitutiondefenseleague.org/). I’ll also be in the Parade Sunday with the group. ---

Damn, I won’t be able to make the minidopefest on the 19th, as I’m working nights and have a horribly involved investigation going on at the moment. So i’ll be keeping an eye on the thread (or email) for the non-mini one. As for where, looks like everyone has covered most of the main places, and i’m fine with any of em. ---

Ok, I’m working Saturday the 26th and tomorrow (Sat the 19th) **slacker** and I have some graduation thing of her cousin’s to make an appearance at before going to the baseball game. I think we’re both free Sun the 20th, but that’s Father’s Day. ---

Saturday the 19th is no good for me, unless you’d like to contribute to the delinquency of a 19-month-old. However, I would like to know more about the Constitutional Defense League, and so if there are any activities after about 5:30 on Sunday, I’d like to stop by, **Homebrew.** ---

What’s wrong with bringing a nineteen month-old to a restaurant?? The cute baby effect on the waitstaff could possibly garner free drinks for us… ---

I’ll be there, **usar\_jag**. Sure, bring the babe along, **SanibelMan**. It’s a restaurant not a bar, so it’s fine. Although you might not want to give it a margarita. The CDL booth I was talking about will be at Tower Grove Park from 11-8 on Saturday the 26th, not this weekend. ---

I’ll be wearing a grey t-shirt, coincedently with the acronym “JAG” on it, and sporting one regulation Army-type shaved head… I’ll be hard to miss–look for me on the “patio” seating, or in the bar area.
