But some of them are on weekdays and some of them are really far away. 
My first Dopefest was 6000 miles away. 
I was in your area this past weekend, Captain Socks… I would have framed it as a Dopefest, except my buddies would have NO interest in that whatsoever.
Well Germantown is only 25 miles from DC and 35 from Baltimore. I am sure there will be an event coming up in the next 12 months in your area. Probably more than 1. Keep your eyes open.
I am under the impression **GingerOfTheNorth ** has an annual event and is in your general area.
Here are two thread you probably want to check out:
MAD Dopefest - Welcome Antigen to Baltimore
Dope The Halls VI (Mid-Atlantic Dopers!)
I think someone else had a DC Dopefest.

Gettysdope was straight up I-270 and US-15; from Germantown, I’m guessing it’s about an hour. What’s your definition of “too far away”?
Huh.
What would it take to get you to Boston on the 1st? I’ll chip in $20. Maybe more.
I could be wrong, but I think Captain Socks is still in high school and does not drive yet. Correct me if I am wrong Captain.
Actually, I just checked his profile. I am right, in fact he is only 13 and so is relying on either a parent or older sibling to get him to and from the Dopefest.
By the way, Captain Socks, you share a birthday with my wife. Though she has had it longer than you. 
Jim
I don’t think he’s in high school yet.
But it’s a lovely drive, Oh, 13. I guess that a 6 hour drive would be more you could talk your folks into. Otherwise I’d be telling you to getcher’ backside to The Cleveland Halloween Dopefest.
Dude, are you trying to spirit a minor across state lines? :eek: 
Naw, just trying to get a 'fest up and running.
I’d contribute to Hippie Hollow’s ticket as well.
Or better yet, David Simmons’. How cool would it be be to have both the youngest and oldest Dopers around on my birthday?
We are in Baltimore. That’s not “really far away” from Germantown. And we’re family friendly. Bring your parents. I have a 13 year old son.
Yay! Your the best Ginger.
Yikes, is he really 13 already? :eek:
He’ll be 14 in January.
Host a dopefest!
Then you get to pick the date.
I can just see that conversation between a 13 yo and their parents.
“Is it ok if I invite a bunch of adults that I’ve never met to come over?”
Well, he has to be specific. “Is it ok if I invite a bunch of adults that I’ve never met to come over and talk about the dope?”
You see, when you word it that way, the parents will be much more understanding.
(I also note that I had to explain to my own relatives that the recent Gettysdope did not in fact involve any illegal substances)
Even better, a bunch of adults that I met online. Hello Chris Hansen…
It’s funny, I know that Captain Socks is 13, but I don’t really think of him as a child. To me he’s just another Doper.
