Well, after the great turnout and great people I met at the Spring, cough Summer Dopefest, I will start the Fall Dopefest thread. Any Saturday afternoon in October works well for me.[D’Agostino’s](http://addison.dagsdelivers.com/zgrid/themes/753/intro/index.jsp) worked well as a Dopefest site. The food was excellent and the drinks were reasonably priced. ---

It looks like I’ll be in Chicago periodically for a couple of years; subscribing to this thread. Might work for lunch on the 22nd of August. Anywhere on the blue or red. ---

I’m fine with Dags. Location works, plus pizza and booze in the same room = all right. ---

October 19 or 26? They both work for me. D’Agostino’s 1351 W Addison. 1 PM. That time worked well and there will not be Cubs baseball in October. ---

My calendar is OK for 19th, but my mother-in-law (93) has been having one problem after another, so I’m can’t give a 100% commitment. I’ll do my best. ---

Still looks OK for me… However, my mother-in-law is 93, has been in and out of hospitals and rehabs, so I can never predict nothin’. ---
