DC Dopefest/St. Pat's Party

starts lighting candles and incense to pray for Hama’s car

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.

FTR: I happen to be a singer. For those who have yet to meet me, I’m sort of another Jim Nabors. I talk funny, but my singing voice is just fine.

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. :slight_smile:

Hey, none of that! No getting drunk at this party! :smiley:

I sang in high school in both madrigals and glee club. 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.

We can always get her drunk later.

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

:smiley:

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.

Okay, two things.

One, I’m suddenly VERY afraid of Geobabe and Cajun Man. :wink:

Two, WOOOOO! Strainger’s coming!

I am available as a personal security guard/mean-looking-type-person/other shit. If you want.

:wink:

Ha. I ain’t afraid of you.

Yet.
