You’re in Cork already? _Jaysus_, woman, get yer arse to a pub and order yourself a nice pint of **Murphy’s** already!  
Ignore what yojimbo’s going to tell you. If Guinness is a 9.0, then Murphy’s is definately a 10!

And you rock too, Anna Banana! _Shite_, did we have a good time, or what??

Jaysus, Shite, Bollocks 😃 you’re in Cork.

Have a great time even if you have to drink Murphy’s.

A don’t trust them Corkmen. They’re nowhere near as nice as us Dubs. 😉

Cya Sunday we’ll go to mass and walk around town afterwards with charred hair and smoke rising from our heads after the inevitable lightning blast 😃

Look after yourself and I’ll see you soon.

A list of the pubs that I can remember.

The Odeon  
Keoghs  
McDaids  
Sheehans  
The Duke  
The Dawson Lounge  
O’Neils x2  
The Old Stand  
The Bar on the Guinness tour

and my place where a **lot** of drink was drank. A regular Irish wkend really 😉

If I were the type to keep things brief, I could describe the attendees as smart, funny, and extremely good looking, every one. What a great group of people! We had so much fun, didn’t we?

**S. Norman** , I’m so glad we got the chance to meet again, and I really hope things work out for a mini HamDope next month. And all the ladies agreed that you fully lived up to the pre-meeting hype! Isn’t he just swoonable?

**Globe-Trotter** , you are such a cool person, even if you are always giving me such a hard time. Come to think of it, didn’t everyone give me a hard time? Hmmmmmm…Anyhoo, I can’t wait to see you again and I am anxiously awaiting your return so that we can chat the night away on ICQ. I can’t wait for our private recap of the events of this weekend!!

**Izzy** I am so glad we met and I see now why Annie likes you so much. It was good to find somebody else to get totally silly with & one day I will have to make it down to Canada to visit you. Let’s just hope we don’t have the freaky accent-meld thing again. When I was talking to Johnny this morning he could barely understand me!

**Trions** you both rock! I only wish that we’d been able to spend more time with you guys; perhaps we can do it again next year at **Dopetoberfest**?

**Yoji** , you are something else, you know that? I’ll be sure and let you know next month wether we’re going to need you to step up to the plate or not. 😉

**Coldy** , what can I say? I promise not to tell anyone about the secret crush you have on me, which makes you tease me so relentlessly. And your liberation is always safe, as long as I’m still in the USA!

**micilin** , I really enjoyed talking to you about the Irish education system. You and Bernie make such a cute couple. Give her my best.

**pergau** , why didn’t you come on Saturday? We missed you! We’ll have to do it again next year, okay?

**ruadh** , what a smart, beautiful, totally rocking chick you are! I’m going to have to meet up with you again sometime, too.

**Yoji’s Roomies** , thank you so much for coming to our party and not objecting to the total mess I made of your house! Joe, you can be my bitch any time, and Fergal, I promise I won’t let the mean 'ol mic give you any more hot peppers.

**Cubby Bear** , sniff, sniff, I think I’m going to miss you most of all…I feel like this weekend really cemented the close relationship we share. Remember what I told you this weekend. Life is long, everything comes in good time. I love you, you silly little leprechaun, you!

**Tatertot** you are such a babe. MrTot is such a lucky man and TinyTot has one hell of a mom. You have to be one of the most enthusiastic and funny persons I have ever met.

You covered the other attendees perfectly. I had such a good time and would love to do it again tomorrow. It was soooo much fun. We’ve really set a high benchmark for all future Eurofests.

My list of friends has grown and you are all welcome to thrash my house whenever you like. 😃

* * *

Fergal here.  
I had a great time and hope to meet you all again. I’ll dodge the peppers next time and I’ll try to get Peter to invest in some forks and a punch bowl.

what more can I add? A great couple nights.

Special thanks to tater for the _amazing_ food, Spiny for the St Pauli shirt, yojimbo for the (ab)use of the flat (and the TV!). And great meeting everyone else and seeing Twisty and Micilin again.

Sorry I couldn’t meet up on Saturday but I had phone issues 🙂 I will be around for the Sunday sesh though (provided it’s this Sunday and not the next one) … keep me posted on the plans!

It’s this Sunday 🙂

Globe-trotter is going to ring me and we’ll meet sometime in the evening. I’m working till 7pm. I’ve got your no.(have you a land line just in case?) and will let you know what’s happening.

The bastard child of Dupdope will be a nice way to end the whole affair. 😃

Yo! Jimbo!

Don’t forget next month’s potential **AmsterDope 2000**. I mean, what city better embraces the term “Dope” then my fair hometown?

But if you insist, we can call it **The Adopted Fosters Child of DupDope 2000** or something 😃

I lovbed you, too, cubby bear! 😉

Now, everyone start getting ready for **DOPETOBERFEST** , we’ve only got 11 months to plan, ya know! And the sweet **TwistyCB** has volunteered to be both the designated driver and babysitter! What a guy!

**Yoji** , you remember to call me on Sunday night, you hear? Or if your handy can’t do int’l, let me know the approx. time & I will call you. I miss all of you loads, and can’t wait to see all of you again. This has been one of the best weekends ever!

Oh, and me & Mistertot are planning on going to Ireland again in the Spring, so get ready! Tell Joe & Fergal, I’ll come back and feed them…sniffles, I feel so motherly towards you poor, kitchen-less boys. I wonder, could I fed-ex you meals every so often? 😉

Otherdubdopers

It was lovely to meet you all, Sorry I couldn’t come out to play on saturday, but Mrs Pergau had plans.

Still it was nice to see a representative sample of Dopers and confirm that they are a fun crowd that can do amazing things with avacados.

I can’t believe I forgot to mention ruadh, micilin (and Bernie!) and Pergau! :o

Please forgive me. All that Irish beer has gone to my head.

I really enjoyed meeting you four as well!

I promised the other Dopers I’d post this, so here goes. I had to edit a lot of it out, since they seemed to mistake the official memos book to the say lots of embarassingly nice things about Tracy book - but hey, who’s going to complain about that?

**S. Norman** said, for some reason I can’t remember - I’m going to Celine your Dion. hahahaha - I recall us laughing hysterically, but I can’t remember why.

**Pergau** said: Anyone who can make Yojimbo buy vegetables is okay in my book

**micilin** said: But if you want the whole sordid story: He called me and asked me to buy avocados. I told him where to get off.

**Yojimbo** : To continue the avocado thing. I did not know what they _looked like_. As as to being a stand in. No prob. 😉 (no problem on this end, either sweet thang!)

**Pergau** : He wanted me to get him a date with her. (note: Ah! Why did I have to get married so young! You’re in line after Larrigan, sweetness)

**CubbyBear** Is this concrete all around or is it in my head?  
3 vodkas  
We are drinking in an old trainstation.  
Everybody should say something nice about Moosie. She rocks. Jasper is really funny. You guys are so missing.  
Pug has to leave.  
He is not coming tomorrow.  
We are going to party like it’s on sale for $19.99  
Who loves you baby!!!

**Globe-Trotter** : I hope Dublin recovers from our visit (we may be banned from the city)

**tatertot** : Yoji wanted to stalk his lapdancer! :eek:

**unknown** : micilin is jealous of your lapdancer. How vicarious is that?

**CubbyBear** Yojimbo knows too much. Homer should be here!

**micilin** : Fer christsakes! Yojimbo has just drank Guinness spiked with **TABASCO** and didn’t notice!!! I blame tatertot \<----sure, blame the half-Korean chick, everybody always does.

**CubbyBear** Arthur Guinness has created the one drink that neutralizes Tabasco.  
5th vodka  
I’m smoking a fine cigar and I have loads of Toblerone.  
What more can a body ask for?  
Micilin is Yojimbo’s Hetero-Life Partner - courtesy of Kevin Smith!  
We’re all going to Yojimbo’s to drink Tiger Beer.  
We missed cashodes (???) but we are drunk so who cares!!!

**Yojimbo** : Stardate 920672.3  
O’Neills Dublin  
Drunk. It was a good day of slacking once again. Trying to wonder what Anne’s fasination with fists are : eek : \<—Note to Yoji, in real life writing : eek : does not make this :eek: appear!

**Globe-Trotter** : I thought Coldie was talking about fist fucking. After felching, it was the next logical step. (“the stuff fish fuck in”, apparently)  
Well, it’s safe to say I’m giddy. WooHoo! I don’t know what date it is and frankly, I don’t give a damn. Dublin rocks, and I don’t want to go back. I need to find myself a paddyman. Party time! WooHoo! DubDope 2000…the creme de la creme.

**Coldy** : Here we are in downtown Dublin, 12:30 and the bar is closed. Time to find a late night bar, and soon too dammit! We’re far from done here.

* * *

And the rest is all a homage to yours truly, so I’ll leave it out and spare you the retching!

Postcards are in the mail, if I ever decide, hey! let’s send postcards to all the Dopers again, somebody please shoot me! My fingers are about to fall off!

Have fun at the bastard son of DubDope, guys. I’ll be there in spirit. Remember to send me pictures!

**We’ll always have Dublin!**

Can’t wait to see you all again - and we will!

Love y’all!

Tracy
