Yikes! I forgot about the Superbowl; IIRC we had to run the traps on that last year. And, like last year, it looks like a twofer again. Working on spot #2 for Saturday, the 27th…
Wow. I always knew this was a special group of nuts, er, I mean people. Mr Bear just told me he is surprised and pleased that people who don’t even know him are willing to change their plans so he can come too, and meet y’all. I told him that I’m not surprised at all, given who y’all are. But I am very pleased. 
Sat. the 27th sounds great to us. We’ll be there. No promises on our condition though. :eek: 
How is it you know we’re debauched party animals who’ll use anything as an excuse to go out twice in the same week but your husband hasn’t figured this out?
Easy, 1) she has experince with dopfestes and 2) I live a sheltered life on the far side of the planet. Hope to change number 2) in about 33 days.
Well, Little Nemo, I’ve also been around on the board a little longer. Note our respective post counts. He keeps telling me he’s living a sheltered life over there, though I’m not at all sure sheltered from what. 
And, honey, I’m counting down the days till you’re home again with me, uh, I mean us. 
Sunday 21 or Saturday 27 would work for me.
About Woodrow’s, they have food (Floyd’s, as Beatle said, actually not bad), and they have ice-house type garage doors that they lower when it’s cold.
Everybody happy?
hey, which ever date you pick will be great for me. Just let me know, and I will be there with bells on.
Beatle: thanks for remembering me.
Maidenunicorn, We are going to do both so which ever is better for you, or come to both.
AS PurpleBear and I will be traveling from out of town there and most likely will consume adult beverages, can you email one of us with hotel information in the area of the gathering, something within staggering distance would be nice. Looking forward to meeting all of you then.
This is what I found close to the Norfolk location.

ba dump bump.
A three day bump.
A mid-holiday week bump (just so we can find this thread next week when the home stretch bumping will commence).
Happy New Year, all!
Whatever happened to this thread? It hasn’t been bumped since the last millennium.
Being a Houston fan, I would like to meet some others. So bumpity.

Will that work for everybody?
An Austin DopeFest is currently being organized by TheNerd (hmmm,…gotta go bump his thread, too) on possibly a weekend just before or after Houston’s twofer. Just a heads up on that one, folks.
I’m going to be a busy beatle, as one of those weekends I have to move my own company into storage. Happy new year!
Ayesha, thank you so much for that hotel info. It’s much appreciated, and I’m checking into it for the 27th.
That sounds good to me, beatle, and I may come to the 21st’s also, don’t know yet. Mr Bear is looking forward to meeting all of y’all too, he’s told me.
I would also like to throw up an invite to the Palm Beach Club ( http://www.palm-beach-club.com ) a group of my not so conservative computer friends meet their every Saturday Night, so this might be a good After Party for those with a slighty more liberal mind.
