Bumping for any late arrivals. ---

It’s looking like a good weekend for doper meetings. There’s going to be one in Boston on Friday the 19th, Philadelphia on Saturday the 20th, and Houston on Sunday the 21st. I’m thinking - roadtrip! ---

Another bump for those of us who went into hibernation because of the cold. ---

At this point, my planned trip is still a go. But I’ll warn people now that there are a couple of situations on the horizon that could cause a last minute cancellation. ---

Sorry, but it’s now official. Due to various situations I won’t be traveling to Texas this month. ---

Oh, damn. Well, how about it, everyone else? Do we still want to meet or (to take a page from the Aggies) wait 'till next year? ---

I’m still free for 2/21, but will go with whatever the group decides… ---

OK let’s do this. Let’s get a head count of those who are still interested in a HouDopeFest on 2/21 on make a decision from there. **cdsilv** is a go, I’m on the fence (leaning toward a no go). What say the rest HouDopers? ---

I’m gonna take a pass. This is two years in a row that I’ve had something come up at the last minute that has kept me from a HouDope. Not good. ☹ ---

To recap: **Clothahump** : No go **cdsilv** : Go **Tio Gringo** : No go **Little Nemo** : No go What say you, **Ringo** , **Tamryne** , **LIONsob** , **pravnik** , **lieu** , and \*\*Dolores \*\*? Do you all want to salvage this thing, or is a mercy killing warranted at this point? ---

Okay, it’s been a confusing month. But at the moment things appeared to have settled down and I’ve decided to go ahead on my travel plans. Only a week instead of my usual two but I will be in Houston on the 21st. So count me back in if people are getting together. ---

The 21st, eh? What parts of the metro area are the possible attendees scattered about? ---

We’re thick in the middle of all that moving entails. I’m really sorry to miss, especially considering how much I’d like to see again or meet for the first time the people that are posting here. ---
