Any interest in a Fall Chicago Dopefest? Our summer Dopefest only had a turnout of 3, of course weather had a big factor in that. I’d prefer a Friday afternoon/early evening or Saturday any time. I’m in Lake View, but can travel anywhere with CTA access. Yes, we will pick a place that has separate checks. 😛 Anyone interested? October perhaps? ---

As one of the three to make the last one, I’m up for another one. Friday evening or Saturday is good for me, or pretty much any time. The Galway joint worked out well; I’d do that again. ---

As one who wanted to get to the last one but had a last-minute schedule screw-up, I’d be interested. ---

I’m interested, but flaky (depression+social anxiety+potential for patient emergencies+chronic cash flow issues). So don’t include me in any headcounts, but I’ll be watching the thread and may surprise myself by showing up. 🙂 ---

I’d certainly be up for doing it again at the [Galway Arms](http://www.galwayarms.com/) again, although I know parking in that area is very tough. 2442 North Clark Street, Chicago, Il, 60614. How about Friday Oct 19 or Saturday, Oct 20? ---

If I’m back from Europe I’m in. The Galway would be perfect. ---

After work hours are fine during the week, and during the day should be fine most Saturdays. Wherever, as long as it’s easy to get to via CTA. ---

I’m free on Fridays and weekends as well. Weekdays aren’t good for me at all. ;( ---

I might be interested depending on date and time. I’d suggest Moody’s Pub in Edgewater. Very close to the Thorndale red line stop and also has plenty of parking. Also, very good food and cheap delicious pitchers of sangria. ---

Also, very good food and cheap delicious pitchers of sangria. Moody’s is awesome and that’s close to me! Hear hear! Thorndale stop is closed, unfortunately. Depending on where you’re coming from, you’ll have to get off at Bryn Mawr or Grandville. ---

Gah, Edgewater might as well be Siberia. ---

Logan Square! No, I kid. I know, I know, Logan is in the middle of nowhere and isn’t accessible to anyone not on the Blue Line. So, hmm, Lakeview? I’d say that’s an area easy to get to for most people. ---

Could I ask for early November? … my October weekends are pretty well filled up. (On t’other hand, there’s never a guarantee that I can make a date, my life is filled with a 92-year-old mother-in-law and a wife recovering from back surgery, so… what’s the line? Humans plan and God laughs.) ---

Maybe the weekend right after Halloween? That would be Nov 2/3 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chicago-fall-dopefest/634751.md?page=2)
