$500 in gas money? We drive a Corolla for our car trips - more like $100. Oh wait, two ways - better make that $200. Hmm, why are we not going again?
I think being compatible with people you meet from here is sort of like online dating - we’re a self-selecting bunch, so you go into a Dopefest knowing that a lot of the people there have similar interests/natures. I haven’t met anyone from the Dope yet who I didn’t like right off.
Friends? Nah, you guys are more like a bunch of goldfish in an aquarium to me
But more like the diverse kind of aquarium with lots and lots of different fishies, and the occasional cleaner shrimp, and maybe some seastars. The kind of aquarium you just have look into because you see something new every day.
