I’m in Orlando and have over 100 posts, but I’ve only been here 3 1/2 months.

Heck, I started _setting-up_ my first DopeFest when I was only here for about 2 months. So go to them whenever you feel comfortable. (You’re more than welcome to come to the one in Sarasota this weekend! 😉 ) ---

Just show up. How else are we going to tell the rest of the boards what a [choose as many of the following as apply]: [li] nice[/li][li] funny[/li][li] screamingly funny[/li][li] obscenely funny[/li][li] talkative[/li][li] garrulous[/li][li] generous to the point of picking up the entire bar tab plus significant tip[/li][li] cheap ass to the point of drinking everyone’s leftover suds when they are not looking[/li][li] other appropriate adjective[/li] kind of person you are? BTW, it is traditional that if, at the time I post this response, anyone living in Orlando has 112 posts to their name, #7 applies whenever they attend their first Orlando DopeFest. Hmmm, well looky here, we gots ourselves a winner. 😉 ---

Post numbers mean little, except for the fact that one is either garrulous or spends all the time on the boards. (I am the former.) Go ahead and meet people now. > > How long should you be on the boards before attending a dopefest? I’m in Orlando and have over 100 posts, but I’ve only been here 3 1/2 months.

Hmmm, well looky here, we gots ourselves a winner. 😉 Ahh, but I cheated. You see, the last post I made was a double post, so my total was actually only 111. Therefore, #8 applies. 🙂 Maybe I will attend, I’ll have to see once a date is settled upon ( **TruePisces** : Thanks for the invite, but I wouldn’t be able to make Sarasota this weekend). ---

Having perused the _Orlando Weekly,_ I have decided that **Amigo’s** in Winter Park would be a fine place to host a Dopefest. The number there is 657-8111. Let’s do it in the afternoon on Saturday, June 9th – is 1:00 too early? ---

Amigo’s sounds good (considering that most of Church Street Station has gone belly-up). elmwood? tubagirl? any other Orlandoans? ---

Damnit! 'rents will be in town then, visiting from Buffalo. ☹ ---

Location-wise, though, I-Drive, downtown or Winter Park is fine for me. Perhaps Fiddler’s Green in Winter Park? (I’m in MetroWorst now.) ---

Well, I’m glad I did a search on my name and came up with this thread. Amigos is my favorite restaurant in the whole world! Lemme check my schedule for Sat. otay? ---

Okay, Saturday at 1 with Albert Rose and possibly tubagirl. Another day with elmwood (hey, can your parents bring down a case of Genny Creme Ale? kidding!) ---

Let’s hold off for another week, shall we? I have a family emergency. Sorry about the short notice. Perhaps we can do this on Saturday, June 16th, same time and place. ---

Sorry to hear that, Al **b** ertRose. I’m for postponing it a week. That wo **u** ld actually help **m** e as well, and maybe we could get more **p** eople. Amigos on Saturday (6/16). Sounds good. ---

Depends on what time in the afternoon, but I might be able to attend as well. Gotta check with the GF… ## O Hoosier Daddy! ---

I feel the necessity to remind myself (and others) about this upcoming transcendent event. Let me describe myself, so you know how to find me at Amigos. I’m 6 feet tall, nicely dressed, with glasses. I have brown wavy hair and my mother thinks I’m handsome. So, what do YOU look like? ---
