We tried this a few months ago without much success, but I’m a gamer, so here we go again. Calling all Charlotte-area Dopers! Let’s get together and tie one on.
**Maus Magill ** and I are in. Who’s with us?
I’m thinking Saturday, February 2, but I’m open to other suggestions.
I could possibly attend. I wouldn’t mind driving and have room in my car for other Raleigh area dopers that might want to go. Can’t make any promises right this minute, but count me as interested.
I’d be interested as well, especially if I could take up your offer for a ride, Hockey.
That’s the spirit!! How about Zsofia and other SC Dopers as well?
February 2nd is good for me. I was thinking O’Shea’s in Ballentine. It’s an Irish pub. Get this, though: the owner keeps the music at a level where you can actually talk to the people in your party.
I used to live in the neighborhood right next to O’Shea’s and I’ve been there a number of times. An excellent choice.
I’m working on Feb. 2, but if we’re talking an evening thing, I’d be game.
I was thinking of evening too.
I’m in Mooresville these days, so I’d probably be able to come.
MissMossie, I work in Mooresville. I thought I was the lone Doper in town. 
My folks are in North Wilkesboro, maybe I can talk the hubby into a combo visit that weekend…
Great! Ok, I’m going to set the date, time and location so plans can be made. Unless there are a lot of conflicts we’ll stick with:
Saturday, February 2
6:00 PM - ?
Oshea’s Irish Pub (IM me for directions and tell me where you’re coming from.)
I’ll see if I can finagle the day off.
Ok, so far we have:
Definite/Probable:
Southern Yankee
Maus Magill
Knead to Know
MissMossie
Possible:
Hockey Monkey
Diomedes
Nawth Chucka
I’m a go for the 2nd. Dio, you can ride with me and I’ll have room for 2 more if anyone else wants to go. We can work out the details and such later.
My hubby is a Doper called Tripler.
**Hockey Monkey ** moves in to the Definite camp! What say ye, Diomedes?
Nawth Chucka, does that mean you and Tripler are coming, or are you still maybes?
I’ve never been to a Dope Fest before. Are there rules? Do you reveal your real names and such (if they’ve been kept secret), or do we address each other as our SDMB personalities? :dubious:
A couple hours of mafia-metagaming with Hockey along with booze and Dopers? It’d take a far stronger man than me to deny that kind of pull.
I’m not sure as to rules, but it’s been nearly twenty years since anyone has actually addressed me as “Mouse.” I prefer “Tim”.
