I am so so so so so tired. I’ve been trying to cope with a dozen different things these past 48 hours. I haven’t slept because I had to go to work at 5am. I’m away from all my friends and worse close to all my family. My head is going all over the place…but…
None of that matters because I’m planning a dopefest!
HOORAY!
On the 4th of July!
HOORAY!
In Tallahassee, Florida!
**HOORA-**wha?
Yes I know I do not live in Tallahassee, or Florida, or anywhere in the continent of North America. But thanks to the lovely assistance of harmless (As well as the use of her apartment) I get to host a dopefest farther than anyone has ever hosted a dopefest before. Its unique! It’s outrageous! It’s the perfect way to begin my trip of randomly wandering around the wonderful USA.
So, who would like to join me and harmy (and Yepmas of course)?
Yay!
There are about a bajillion (about 8 is a bajillion, right?) of us Dopers here in Tallahassee and the surrounding area.
Since this didn’t ever come to fruition, how about we try again with a bit more advance warning.
I’m calling out Susie Derkins, Zakalwe, LilCutie, fishbicycle, XJETGIRLX, Sharky, and anyone else within the sound of this post!
Man, I’m all the way down in Fort Myers. If I come, it will be a major trip (for me.) The 4th of July is on a Monday. So it makes it easier on my trip time if the Dopefest start the weekend before the 4th. Is that possible?
I’m wondering actually how many people may already have conflicts on that weekend – a holiday which often comes with vacations and plans and so forth.
Frinstance – I’m right here in Tally, and I’d love to see a Tally-Dope come to fruition. But on July 4 (and surrounding weekend), I’m always 40-ish miles west of here at a lake with family and friends, water skiing, relaxing, etc. I wonder how many other Tally-Dopers have holiday plans already? (If it turns out to be a bunch, I’d suggest another nearby weekend, perhaps?)
So when do your random wanderings begin, nocturnal_tick? (And how’d you choose Tally as a starting point?)
You can put me down for “aware of the upcoming possibility of a tentative Dopefest.” I have no more idea what we’ll be doing on Saturday than I do in July, so I’ll have to confirm or deny in about 90 days, OK?
This is based around tick’s tour schedule, so I guess adjusting dates are up to him.
I never plan anything for the 4th, so it didn’t really cross my mind.
I have no life but you people…don’t that make you feel special?
Get your uppity butt out of the Florida thread, you :wally
Important question, my tookus.
Everyone here knows The Important question…where in Tally are we going to be able to locate a goat.
Might have to truck it to Chipley to find one. Yee-haw. ;j
The dates that started around June were my attempt to please my parents and start with them. Then I realised that:
I have a four week visa
I am homeless until August.
If I start any earlier than July I will be a) homeless or b) an illegal alien
I hope to arrive the evening of the Saturday before (July 2nd) which is the very start of my trip. I am willing to alter this. Check your email Hal
harmy is in Tally. I can’t travel across the globe and not meet harmy?
How many of those who can’t do monday can do the weekend before?
Also if you have a location question ask harmless
If you have a date question ask me
If you want to know where the hell else I’m going ask here: Voila!
I have no problem with people converging on my place as long as it is kept in mind that Yepmas and I have a two bedroom apartment.
We can seat 6-12 people comfortably (12 as long as people don’t mind using a pool table as a dinner table).
If it turns out to be a bunch of us, we may need to look for a larger location and as Susie points out, the parks will probably be used for festivities that weekend.
So let the suggestions fly!
Yepmas and I just rigged our barbeque grill back together with wire hangers so we’re good to grill out.
sigh…maybe I should switch nics with hillbillyqueen
