Wednesday was Mommy’s night out and Saturday is our anniversary. This saddens me as I enjoyed my one previous fest. Y’all have fun and I’ll try and make another in the future. ---

You can come to the HouDope Springfest, **lieu**. Hmm…, I guess that means we’ll have to have one. ---

I’m hoping photos were taken, and a good time had by all… As for me, it’s a mommy weekend and no relief in sight! 🆒 ---

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing **Jaade** (she’s a peach), **Dolores** (who, somehow, feels like an old friend), **Little Nemo** and my old friend **Irishman**. ---

It would’ve been fun to have been there, but I got Hank Williams III’s phone number and autograph. So that counts for something, right? ---

A good time was had by all! Sorry you others missed it. We laughed a lot, and had some good Tex-Mex food. We’re looking forward to the HouDopeSpringFest! (Maybe we should start planning now, huh, **Ringo?** ) It was great meeting **Jaade** and her boyfriend and friend, and of course, **Little Nemo.** I was glad **Irishman** made it, and it’s always good to see **Ringo.** You feel like an old friend to me, too! Talk to y’all later… (dot dot dot) 😉 ---

Thanks **Ringo**! ~grins~ I had a great time getting to know **Dolores** and her fiance, seeing **Little Nemo** and **Ringo** again, and meeting **Irishman**. Sorry we had to leave so soon after you got there **Irish**! **Dolores** , we probably should start planning now. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/houston-dopefest-in-january/221083.md?page=3)
