So safe… it is safe enough to… to dance!

Sing everyone!

…  
I say, we can dance, we can dance  
Everything out of control  
We can dance, we can dance  
We’re doing it from wall to wall  
We can dance, we can dance  
Everybody look at your hands  
We can dance, we can dance  
Everybody takin’ the cha-a-a-ance

Safety dance  
Is it safe to dance  
Is it safe to dance

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y

Safe, dance!..

You can dance if you want to  
You can leave your friends behind  
'cause your friends don’t dance  
And if they don’t dance  
Then they ain’t no friends of mine!

Right… we’re now two months away! (That is, if everyone’s good with **August 15-17** - I think y’all are.)

Just reviving this thread to ping everyone. I guess it’s time to start a bona fide planning thread.

Feel free to check in… I wanna hear from the TorDopers, especially those who haven’t chimed in yet. And you OttaDopers have _no_ excuse to not make it.

This is gonna be _fun_…

Well Dopereal II, count me in.

Even though I don’t know anybody here, I have some space for out-of-town dopers!

No one should worry now, knowing that their will always be a safe, warm, happy place to be if you keep the family Jools in hand.

i was just thinking…if people wouldn’t mind to do this:  
I’m so horrible with names and all…i would forget in like 2 seconds after _lol in shame_  
How about we get those stick-ons ( not big ones, just little ones) that sais the handle and the real name? We could write in bold whichever people want to be called by…

waddya think?

Fine. But I refuse to call ScottEvil by his preferred moniker of “Pooky Schnookums”. No one likes that.

**5U1C1D3** , if Doperéal is big enough this year that we require nametags, we’ll have truly arrived as an annual Dopefest. 😉

Pooky Schnookums?!?
