Doperéal II (Montreal Dopefest) - let's try this again

Is everyone OK with the weekend of August 15 - 17, then? Eonwe, you’re the only one who specifically said the later weekend was better, but can you make it the aforementioned weekend?

Potter, darling, do you know already when you’ll be here?

Umm… out-of-towners, is August 15-17 good? {{bats eyelashes}}

scott, sweetie, I should be there for the beginning of August, I want to try to make it for Pride. How long I stay afterwards really depends on how fast Hamish gets tired of matt and I calling each other Angelpie or Sugarbun and physically forces me out the door. I give it three days…

Failing that, August 15-17 is fine with me.

Angelpie?

ouch. I give it 12 hours. :smiley:

I am seriously now going to try and make it. I have decided. :slight_smile:

That being the case… Pad of Evil? May I?

Potter: if Matt decides that you should see paliament (since you know how political he is) then the two of you are welcome to crash for a few days in Ottawa. :slight_smile:

Umm… that is of course “Parliament” Long day. Stupid West Nile Testing… (well testing isn’t stupid… disease is…)

I was just looking at the message boards. I see all those US dope fests, and i thought:“there’s probably nothing for montreal-ers” but glad i was wrong…
I know no one knows me here but count me in!

15th-17th works fine for me. Actually, it turns out that it’s much better than the following weekend afterall :slight_smile: (I know I’m dificult :slight_smile: ).

Welcome 5U1C1D3! Dopefests are great ways to meet folks, and the contingent from Montreal and its environs is a great group. I look forward to meeting you.

Potter, dear, just do your best darling. I’m chanting as we speak.

CuriousCanuck, you can crash here, no problem. Some or all of the Doors family might be staying here, too, but it’ll work, don’t worry.

Eonwe, yes you’re difficult. Don’t forget clayton_e in Plattsburgh this time.

5U1C1D3, you’ll have a blast. We’re a fun bunch, and we throw great Dopefests.

Waiting to hear from Maeglin, the TorDopers, the rest of the OttaDopers, etc… But this is looking quite lovely. :slight_smile:

Things are still looking good on my front.

If Mnem can’t take me, I have another ride lined up. :slight_smile:

August 15-17…gotcha. So what’s the proposed itinerary so far?

No itinerary yet. We’ll do a planning thread in July, or something. For now, it’s who’s interested, and ideas & suggestions. :slight_smile:

A big game of Duck Duck goose in a very public place :slight_smile:

I think I’ll book my hotel soon, and if the dates change, I’ll just move my booking accordingly. :slight_smile:

Thankx Eonwe :smiley:
Scottevil it’s great to hear that…

i have one question though: what range of ages are there? cause i’m 22 and i’m a little worried about being seen as an outsider or something…

I would suggest a trip to La Ronde, but i’m sure there are a bunch who either get motion sick, or don’t find that idea attractive.

The cemitery idea got another vote from me:)

I’m 23, I know there will be a number of people within 2-3 years of me, and many people spanning all the way up to officially old. :smiley: (Sorry, just had to).

It’s a fine range of ages, weighted towards the younger set, probably.

Mmm . . . Cememememetery . . . .

5U1C1D3, I’ll be 21 by the time Dopefest rolls around. La Ronde is good. I haven’t been in a few years.

WHO are you calling old ? You young whippersnapper…

whew!

Good to know:D…‘whippersnapper’? LOL

Well, La Ronde is certainly do-able, perhaps on Sunday afternoon. But it’s not cheap, that’s all.

5U1C1D3, I’ll be 31 in a few weeks, and my other half jeremy evil is 35, turning 36 at the end of July.

Eonwe, bite your tongue.

Anyway, I think the youngest person in attendance will be clayton_e, who turned 18 earlier this year. I’ve never found the age thing to matter much at Dopefests, although I have to say at the NYC Megadope this year, I tended to gravitate towards people around my age, but you know, there were 80+ people there, so it was easier to ignore the young and foolish set. :wink:

scott, I think your IMAX suggestion is doable BTW. I suggest we do the cemetary thing in the afternoon Saturday and the IMAX thing in the evening, does it sound good to you ?
