I dunno. I’m guessing they’ll take place on the 26th/27th, but I don’t know how this works. I just go along with whatever’s happening. I can find out from my folks and find out what the haps are, and if we’re in the clear, I’m still in.

I’m in, insofar as my life has any predictability. Fri Nov 2, 6 PM, where?

I say we do the Galway Arms. It’s a known venue. I am in.

For those who want to park near the Galway Arms, they offer discount parking ($6) at the nearby Children’s Memorial outpatient facility:

[http://www.galwayarms.com/Parking.htm](http://www.galwayarms.com/Parking.htm)

There is also paid parking at Lincoln Park Market, 2500 N. Clark, although I don’t know what they charge. The Galway is 2442 N. Clark, so it’s just a little ways up the block.

Let’s go with that – Nov 2, 6pm, Galway.

I’m flexible, but I’m trying to badger someone else into going, so if we’re not all with the same plan, Stan, then please let us speak up. Yes? ¡Gracias!

Oooops. Just had a family thing pop up for Friday night, November 2. I’m looking doubtful for attending the Dopefest. Sorry about that.

I’m new to the area and will try to make it, but my employer has me working some crazy hours, so I’m not sure if or when I’ll be able to.
