I think that is great **techchick** , but it hardly seems fair to you. But if you don’t mind too much… ---

I was just there about two weeks ago. You should’ve planned it then. 😉 ---

I live in the Chicago suburbs now. \*\* Doh :smack: maybe I should take a gander a locations once in a while. What is it with Denver dopers moving to Chicago. First MrC, now you. Wait a minute, that’s who was at that dopefest. Does this mean I’m destined to move to Chicago? ---

Okay, there’s a possibility I can swing the SpringsFest… If more people are interested, please let me know so I can coordinate this. (sorry, I have been kind of swamped with personal issues dealing with animals, been a rough three months but I think I need something to look forward to and a Dopefest might just be the ticket.) ---

I’m going to be in the Boulder area from July 15 - 22 if anyone in the area wants to get together 🙂 ---

Opal, if I can get a car that will travel me up there, I will be more than happy to meet you, finally. Unfortunately I have a cracked radiator and it making it up there is iffy at best unless I drive in the middle of the night. I will ask my brother if I can borrow a car from him, gosh darnit, I want to meet you!!! ---

Just throwing out an idea if anyone is intersted. Since cash available seem to be an issue for a few of us, how about an outside get-together. If we could find a good campsite really near C spgs we could have a low buck gathering. Everybody meets and talks and drinks, and those interested stay and camp. It would have the benefit of all ages people and dogs allowed + frisbee golf or whatever activities And the cheapness of store-bought booze and grilling for food. Just an idea anyway. ---

DRILLING FOR FOOD??? Oh wait you said… …nevermind. ---

The Old Chicago at the north end of town, Woodman, might work. If we sit downstairs, the underage can attend. I can’t think of too many outdoor places where alcohol is allowed, except for the AF Acadamy, although someone’s house might work, but I can’t volunteer mine. ---

This is weird, I for no good reason did a search for Colorado Springs just in time it looks like. I would attend, but I’m curious about the ages of other attendees. Not to be a dick or anything, but I’m 23 and would feel kind of awkward surrounded by a bunch of people in their 50’s. So out of curiosity, what are the ages(/gender) of all you folks planning to attend?? ---

Is this thing still happening? Anyone? Bueller? ---

The date has passed. I’m 42, but at least one person expressing interest was too young to drink, so we are not all old farts. ---
