Attention all Dopers in the Charotte metro area or within driving distance… **KneadtoKnow** and I thought it was high time to gather for some fun, laughs and drinks. Saturday, March 9 seems to be a good day. Who’s in? I can accommodate some overnighters if needed. ---

Y’know, Charlotte’s in driving distance, and despite innumerable\* threats to do so, I have yet to join in a Doper gathering. What the hell, count me in. \*Unless three is a number. ---

Sadly, I work on Saturdays. If the following Sunday would be just as agreeable to everyone, I would be more than happy to come around. (Jacksonville isn’t exactly a happenin’ town, ya dig?) If not, well, such is life. Everyone have a good time. ---

> [@Sodalite](#): > > Can I come, too? Where and what time are we meeting? Certainly! We haven’t picked a time and place yet. Are we ok with a bar/restaurant? I might suggest Duckworth’s Tap Room in the Ballantyne section of Charlotte. It’s right off of I-485 in South Charlotte. ---
