We’re having a Dopefest in Lansing, Michigan next Saturday January the 15th at 4 pm. We’d love to have whomever can make the tedious drive. Elmwood, anyone? Heck, maybe some Northern Hoosiers wouldn’t mind the trek. [Dig on this informative thread right here…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=278883&goto=newpost) ---

It should just be a straight shot up 131, right? No? ---

We’re going for Japanese food and icecream. The first depends on how much your kids like raw fish and the second on whether they like icecream, but I don’t know any kids who don’t like icecream! Lok, you need to make fewer plans. ---

No, I need to make plans for things like this farther ahead of time. 😃 Lok ---

It is the fact that I drive for an hour most Saturdays to visit and game with friends from college. If one of us is not going to be there, we try to let the others know a few weeks ahead of time. Makes it easier for us to plan. Lok
