MichiDopers used to get together quite frequently, at least back when Kyla and I and Brynda and her husband still lived in MI. I tapered off over the past couple of years. There are a lot of Michigan Dopers actually. Sorry I can’t join ya this time.
I organized a couple of dopefests, and tried to organize a couple more, if you know what I mean. We aren’t there anymore, but I think Katrina survivor tsarina is back in MI, and Odinoneye and Atreyu were fun 'festers. Now if they just do vanity searches…
I’m in Michigan (living in Monroe, taking classes in Ann Arbor) until the beginning of January, and I’d love to meet the new Michidopers. Blue Nile or La Shish, anyone?
I’m assuming we need a little advance notice, etc, and should I continue the organizing through e-mail, or just post it to this thread?
How do you all feel about Irish music?
barring that, have y’all heard of The Killer Flamingos? They are a good band, we’d just have to find out where they’re playing.
I used to organize some of these, even having some Dopers over to my hovel on a semi-regular basis. However, I got older and crankier, and my cronies are smaller in number, so I stopped. But I miss the gatherings, so I may be up for attending if someone else gets all organizy.
Have tsarina or something tap my shoulder in LJ, because I am seldom in MPSIMS these days and always seem to miss this sort of thing now.
Oh man the Flamingos are still together? I used to go see them play at Fallsports Lounge in Dearborn every Thursday while in college.
Hell, I remember when they had that girl as the lead singer (now with The Wrenfields).
I’m a ex-pat SE Michigander, living in Chicago, but working in west Michigan. Does that make sense? Has there ever been a GR or K-zoodope?
I’m a Detroiter, but a jobless Detroiter (speaking of, if any Doper has any employment connections for a fantabulously brilliant recent grad who has two BS degrees (Comp Sci and Humanities) in the Detroit area, lemme know! ;)). A Michidope would be neat, but I think it’s completely out of the question for me until I get a job.
