Despite having had a rather underwhelming response to previous attempts at getting people to come to Miami, UncleBill and I, being hopeless romantics, decided to try one more time to get the ball rolling on one of these things. We’re thinking February. Possibly Presidents’ Day weekend (2/14-17), which is coincidentally Valentine’s Day weekend (SEX IN MIAMI!), though the date can be flexible if there’s a strong preference for another weekend.
We have a guest room with double bed, queen size sofa bed and also a double size air mattress, so we can host up to three couples (or simply six very friendly folks) indoors, plus a large backyard to camp in, bringing the number of potential houseguests up to, oh, a lot. There are also numerous hotels in the area if you’re allergic to cats or simply prefer to reject our hospitality.
Here’s a sampling of what we got goin’ on here, mostly shamelessly lifted from a post of my husband’s, because he’s an utter geek at doing this kind of research:
Why, Yes! That sounds fabulous, what a nice time of year for a fun weekend in a beautiful city. And what’s this? Free Lodging at your place? How sweet! You can sure count ME in, and I’ll tell all my friends, too! Thanks, Geobabe!
For the record, “you Miami Dopers” refers to my husband and myself. There don’t seem to even be any others here, at least none that have revealed themselves.
Look on the bright side - this means every day is a continuing Miami Dopefest for the two of you!
Didn’t SuaSponte move down thataway a few months back?
DopeFests typically have a Friday night group dinner for thos who are town at that time, then some sort of cultural/fun/interesting outing Saturday midday to afternoon, then another group dinner Saturday night, and a breakfast-y get together before people have to get back on the road. I hear that drinking is sometimes included.
Hope you can make it, MONTY2, it’s a shame we live so close and haven’t met yet!
