I can certainly do Fort Lauderdale, though, and I know there are a lot of other posters there too! Let’s plan on a meeting sometime that weekend! So who wants to get together that weekend for lunch or something? Saturday the 20th is probably best for me, but I can be flexible depending on what their schedule calls for. ---

Hey, a dopefest close enough to possibly make it to. I should send this thread to Hypergirl, etc. immediately. ---

Okay, here’s the deal. I haven’t booked the flight yet, but it looks like we’ll be flying in Friday night, the 19th, and staying through Tuesday night, the 22nd. I’m still pending approval from work to take those two days off. Nothing’s official yet, but it seems like we’ll be splitting our time between my parents (they’re divorced) and also my grandparents. So, Saturday night, we’ll be with my father, Sunday night with my mother, or vice versa, etc. I think we’ll be able to do something lunchtime on Saturday. As I finalise the trip down, I’ll know more and will post more. (BTW, I’m flattered that you started this thread, **SanibelMan**.) ---

I shall be steaming the mighty IKE into the Port Everglades harbor at Fort Lauderdale January 29th and remaining through the first of February. I’m gonna miss **Anniz** by that _::thumb and forefinger millimeters apart::_ much! I guess I’ll start another thread to see if anyone want’s to dopefest with li’l ol’ me… ---

**Anniz** , I love ya like a sister, but… What in the _Hell_ is up with the smilies, chicky? And referring to your sig, since when do you spell “favorite” like a Canadian? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I think **Montfort** is your _American_ stud-muffin?!! ---

I heard from my father last night and all’s well for us to come down that weekend with both parents now. However, my boss doesn’t like the idea of me missing Monday and Tuesday of work in a week, so it now seems as if we’ll be coming down Thursday night, not Friday night, and staying through Monday night, not Tuesday night. Saturday afternoon plans to meet with **SanibelMan** , **hypergirl** , **ssskuggiii** , plus whoever else wants to come (hint hint), continue to go forward. **Chiefy** : My lovely **Anniz** ’s sig was written by me. You see, she was foolish enough to think the Browns would beat the **Eagles** yesterday, so I got to write her sig. Why “favourite” instead of “favorite?” Well, that’s how I spell it. Forgive her for the smilies, please. And, btw, I think it’s really cool the IKE is coming to Port Everglades. I really wish I were down there then to see it. I guess that means you won’t be around the mid-Atlantic on 3 February for my “Come meet Anniz” party. Missed you at **Falcon** ’s yesterday, too. It wasn’t fun celebrating the **Eagles** making the playoffs with a buncha Deadskins fans. Oh, nevermind, actually, it was. ---

Sorry **ChiefScott** , I forgot you don’t like them. Pleeeeeease, tell me you forgive me? I’ll try to make it up to you… It woun’t happen again. ---

Let me see how things are working out in January (big changes at work). I may be able to make it to either Montfort/Anniz or ChiefScott fests, but not likely both. ---

> [@](#): > > [Warning, you’ll have a bunch of horny teenagers running around if this works well.] And the fact that they’re horny makes them different from any other doper how, exactly? As for rides, since it’s in the afternoon and I have nothing else to do that day, I could give rides to up to 3 people. Actually, I could take the minivan and give 6 people rides, but somehow I think if I tried that I’d be too distracted and we’d all end up over the side of some bridge or something. So let’s stick with three. ---

I dunno about you, **SanibelMan** , but I’m somehow enjoying the irony that horny high school girls wanted absolutely **nothing** to do with me when I was actually _in_ high school in Ft. Lauderdale (Plantation High, c/o '91). But, now, of course, they can’t wait to meet me.
