Oh, and **Tev** , given your Shake-It boosterism in the other thread, can I safely assume you’ll be at the 5th birthday party at the Southgate House next Friday? ---

This isn’t a bump or nuthin’ so’s more Cinci-area Dopers see this and decide “Gee, that sounds like fun, and I can meet the radiently beautiful **tevya** too!” and the gathering would get even bigger than **lno** ’s _PorkyDopeyThing_. No, it’s just for clarification… > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ShibbOleth \* > \*\*As long as **Rue** can make it you’ll get people gathered around the campfire to hear his tall tales. \*\* So we _are_ having a picnic?

Yay! It looks like things are coming together for the **CinciDope**. Let’s gather at the pub on Saturday June 1[sup]st[/sup]. Whoever’s game can stick around for Celtic Fest the next day. Either that or we can follow **Rue** up to Dayton to watch his Terrier stand trial (I suspect his crime may have been lawn genocide). **black455** , I didn’t know about the Southgate House Shake-It Shindig but now that I do I definitely have to be there! I love that store-- great music AND they let me bring my dogs in. So it looks like these folks can make it: [ul] [li]Narile[/li][li]Rue[/li][li]black455[/li][li]keeper0[/li][li]tevya[/li][/ul] What about \*\*thinksnow, TheMermaid, vanilla, quixotic. Juniper2000, Superdude \*\* and the other area Dopers? ---

I keep telling you, **Juniper** is in Columbia, Missouri, which is quite far away from here. Doesn’t mean she might not make it, just wouldn’t hold my breath t’were I you. There’s a couple of folks in Chillicothe as I recall. Maybe they could road trip out for the day. ---

Keep reminding me **Shib**! I might even remember one day! Maybe another Cleveland native would be willing to give you a ride **vanilla**. I’d love to see a good turnout for this. ---

And **Crafter Man** , don’t forget **Crafter Man**. (Even if he does have a stupid underscore I won’t use.) Out Indy-way, there’s **bodypoet** and **Winkie** (plus **Mr. Winkie** ) and down south there’s **Elle** n the Brown Eyed Girl Who Is Now a Cherry plus **Pickle Husband** and our pal **dwyr**. Someone (other than me because I’m not heading this up _hint, hint_, **Tev** ) should e-mail these people and let them know. (And I think **think** is going to _DopeyPorkFest_ instead.) -Rue. And, yes **Shibb** , you _should_ draw me a picture. And maybe make a dinosaur out of clay and put it in front so it’s a diorama. Plus, watsamatta you **vanilla**? Ain’t never hear of U-Haul? Pssst… **Tev** … what pub are we going to again? Or is it a secret until the Big Day? Or did you tell… everyone else… and not me… That would hurt… ---

I’ll get on that e-mail thing tomorrow. Thanks for the list of names **Rue**! The pub that I have in mind is **Boswell’s Alley**. It’s a nice cozy neighborhood pub. I’m not sure how many folks are familiar with Northside so I’ll draw a map (maybe **Shib** will let me borrow his crayons) to let everyone know how to get there. ---

Ok. Yesterday was a bit hectic for me so the email is going out today. I’ll send out details, invites and directions. Glad to hear that **The Mermaid** and **Politzania** will be making it. Sorry **dwyr** and **Crafter\_Man** , that you have to miss out. ---

Well, the emails have done gone out! If I’ve forgotten anyone – purely by accident, I swear – please email me at [iamtevya@yahoo.com](mailto:iamtevya@yahoo.com) and I’ll add you to the mailing list. Also, if anyone has any suggestions (as far as what time to meet, meeting before hand, etc.) then feel free to include them. This is my first attempt at planning a Dopefest and so any advice is appreciated. ---

I bet you all thought I forgot about you and the CinciDope. Nope! I have been doing valuable research. Shib and I met at the pub in Northside to test it out (the pub, not the research). I regret to inform my fellow dopers that the pub does \*\* not \*\* have Guinness on tap. It \*\* does \*\* have Harp on tap. I hope that will do! I was also sitting around minding my own business when inspiration struck.\* After kicking inspirations ass for that sucker punch, I remembered that I have not given the dopers a way to recognize me at the pub. I then hit upon the brilliant solution of having a balloon bouquet at the table!\*\* So we’re all still in for Saturday, June 1[sup]st[/sup], right? (Except for those who have already mentioned that they can’t make it that day). - [sub] Actually an email from Rue [/sub] \*\* [sub] Actually Rue’s idea [/sub] ---

Oh yeah, say it’s all my idea, when we both know my REAL idea was nixed. By you, I might add. (Or I might not, if I’m feeling charitable.) But if you’re there on Saturday the 1st with a balloon bouquet, that’s when the party is. (Even though if we wait a week we might pull in some of the people who are wasting their time at the DopeyPorkThing. _sigh_ Or if we wait a little longer, then **Shibb** can show up. Of course if we wait long enough, we can have a New Year’s Party. And this aside is getting pretty long…) Saturday, June 1st. It’s a deal! And I’m wondering what an artiste like you will do with the balloons. -Rue. ---

Hey! That’s this Saturday, isn’t it? Huh. How about that? Yup, this Saturday, a pub, balloons and **tevya**. And TV is into summer repeats. Just sayin’. -Rue.
