Saturday, 8/11 at 7PM, the Phoenix Dopers, **Padeye** , **jadailey** , **Mauvaise** (you better be there or I’ll kick your butt), and I, are meeting at Copeland’s for some Cajun cooking. Copeland’s is located in Ahwatukee at Priest (56th St.) and Ray. I’m hoping some of the Phoenix Dopers who haven’t shown up to any of our gatherings yet will make this one. Respond here or email me and we’ll be sure to look out for you. I’ll send directions to anyone who needs them. This is the same day as **Demo’s** barbecue. Sorry I can’t make it, dude. Alaska. On a side note, I think I’m in the running for Dopefest Whore Extraordinaire. Although I have some tough competition in SDMBers like **Uncle Beer** , **Falcon** , et al. ---

To the best of my knowledge, I’m free that night. Are bells optional, or must I be there with them on? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Strainger \* > **Mauvaise** (you better be there or I’ll kick your butt) Hmm, decisions: on the one hand, it’s Cajun food. On the other, I might _like_ having you kick my butt. 😃 [sub] Yes, I will be there. Mapquest is my friend[/sub] ---

Spanking, whipping and flogging are more traditional and probaby much safer when done by an exprt but who am I to judge. I’ll be there too, probably with Ann in tow but I’ll verify her schedule. ---

> [@](#): > > I think I’m in the running for Dopefest Whore Extraordinaire You got my vote! 😛 So is there a school for DopeFest Whoreing? I mean, you _do_ have a certificate or degree or something in this, don’t you? You’re not just a talented amateur, are you? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mauvaise \* > … I might _like_ having you kick my butt. 😃 Well in that case, change the above to “Be there _and_ I’ll kick your butt.” 😉 **BunnyGirl,** there is no school for DopeFest Whoring, but if there was, I would be the Dean. ---

I, of course, will be there. Mmm. Copeland’s. It has become my favorite restaurant. **Mauvaise** , from where you are, it’s dead easy to find. 51 South to I-10 Eastbound, get off at Ray Road, turn left and go half a mile. It’s on the righthand side. Next to Jared, the Galleria of Jewelry. And if you’re not there, I’ll kick your butt, too (and it won’t be nearly as pleasant at **Strainger** doing it… ;)). I still have a book I promised to give you! ---

Bumpity-bump. Just a two day advance reminder for the Phoenix pholks. ---

Yes, I will still be there, but if my tooth (or the hole where it used to be) doesn’t feel better by then, I won’t be eating 😉 ---

Aw - you could have some seafood gumbo! Yummy! ---

Okay. I know that this might be a tad late (or something, I can’t think right now), but I am RSVPing. Is it okay if I bring a friend? I don’t want her to miss out! ---

No problem, **dlgirl**. I changed the reservation from 6 to 8 people for 6:45. I also sent you an email. See you there!
