Tally Doper #12 checking in ā€“ and I think Iā€™ve been here longer than most of you. Long enough to remember the LAST Tally Dopefest (circa. 1999 or 2000) where four of us met up at the now-defunct Taste Buds for lunch. At least two of those people I still see occasionally on the boards and I know of two others who lurk more than post. Thereā€™s more of us here than you think. If you all step back and read this thread with a little perspective, you may notice that youā€™ve damn near talked yourselves right back out of having one. I had trouble finding the unbridled contagious enthusiasm. Mostly I saw, ā€œHey gang, letā€™s do this!ā€ Followed by, ā€œNaw. Got other shit to do.ā€ I vote for picking a non-holiday date, setting a time and place and let the chads fall where they may. Say Meyers Park to grill stuff (dead animals or crustaceans, or veggies or whatever you grill) the weekend before or after the 4th? I might be encouraged to show up, since everything here is a fifteen minute drive. I might even recruit other Dopersā€¦ ---

Umā€¦ **Dogzilla**? This one is kind of dependent on **tick** ā€™s travel schedule. We gotta go with what we got on this one. (see post 19) I have no problem with two fests, if need be. šŸ˜ƒ ---

As per **tick** ā€™s request: > [@tick's email](#): > > Iā€™m sorry I havenā€™t been keeping up my end on the thread. I only have time to write this email. Iā€™m not 100% sure of the dates iā€™ll be in your fabled land but itā€™s going to be 4th july weekend simply because any other date seems just as awkward. > > Could you please let everyone know. šŸ™‚ ---

And while weā€™re on the subject of the Tallahassee areaā€¦ Anyone in Tally need kittens? šŸ˜ƒ Serious offer here. We have a sweet little stray that stays around our apartments and sheā€™s about ready to pop. Weā€™ve been letting her stay inside since we found out sheā€™s expecting. Her name is Little Bit and sheā€™s almost all black with a few white hairs on her chest and a little white spot on her belly. Weā€™re going to have her spayed when we can and then sheā€™ll need a good home too as we already have two little bad-asses we canā€™t afford. šŸ˜› Email me if youā€™re interested. šŸ™‚ ---

Bump & Update on kittens: Little Bit went into labor last night and delivered 5 (knock-on-wood) healthy kittens. One black & white One white & black Three that look to be gray tabbies. Iā€™m a grandkittyma! šŸ˜ƒ ---

Ooh! I like that better. Itā€™ll be easier for them to pronounce too. šŸ˜‰ I took a couple this morning but I donā€™t think they came out very well. We used a kennel carrier for her kitten box (just took the door off of it). Itā€™s deep and therefore hard to see them with out a light. Next time Little Bit comes trotting out, dropping nursing kittens left and right Iā€™ll try to get a pic then. Too cute! And no one worry about the babiesā€¦they bounce. šŸ˜ƒ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/florida-dopefest-by-a-limey/296066.md?page=2)
