A bump, in case a certain other Doper I’d like to meet is looking for this thread… ---

For the record, Jen has a class that day, so we’ll be a bit late. ---

**[sub]Not a certain other Doper, but a Doper nonetheless** [/sub] Hi there folks, If no one minds, I’d like to add my name to the maybe column. I usually spend Saturday mornings at a Habitat for Humanity job site, so I may be a bit too tired / muddy to make any public appearances. But the walls / roof should be set up by then so it might not be too bad - wish me luck. Out of curiosity, and while I have a host of DC Doper’s attention- how many musicians do we have in our neck of the woods? I think Sqrl plays professionally, and I am pretty sure I’ve seen a few familiar names pop up in the band threads. I can’t speak for this ‘fest, but someday we should get together and make some noise. I’ve got some extra drums around, it would be interesting. Hoping I can move up to the definite column, Rhythmdvl ---

Put me down as a maybe. I’m going to check on airline ticket prices and try to get up there. ---

Woohoo! This is shaping up to be a rollicking good time! I’m also a singer; maybe an after-Dopefest karaoke expedition might be in order. My favorite KJ doesn’t do a show on Saturdays, but I could do a little research on another show we could hit. Anyone else up for that? ---

_blink_ Strainger might come??? Woooo!!! And if you get me drunk enough, I’ll do karaoke. Not until then, though. 🙂 ---

I can really do any part other than true bass (read: my singing voice is about as deep as my natural voice, and I can control my falsetto). I ain’t doin’ solo. Instruments . . . I played drums in school for four or five years and given a bit of time with which to get reacquainted, I could probably do a decent job with not-too-hard stuff. ---

I mainly sing baritone, but I can also do tenor or bass if pressed. ---

All right, DC Dopers, go ahead and count me in on the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. I have a roundtrip ticket on hold that I’m going to purchase when I get home. Actually, I was going to purchase it last night, but–eh–long story. ---
