Well, that’s about it - I’m in Victoria as of March 25th until April 26th, and wondering who might be around? I’m not sure as yet if I will be able to make it off the island at all (No car and no time, likely.) so I don’t know if Vancouver is a possibility or not. Anyway, let me know if there is any chance of seeing any Island/Lower Mainland dopers…

Best wishes,

Le Ministre

I’m here! I’m here! Let the bells ring out and the banners fly!

Yeah, okay, my Jim Bacchus imitation needs work; anyway, I’m hoping no one minds the blatant bump, but I just wanted to see if there’s anyone about interested in a mini-dopefest in Victoria. Still no idea if I’ll be able to make it to Vancouver this trip, but I’m hoping some of you might be enticed to make the trip to the island sometime this month. Let me know; I’d like to meet some of you folks.

I won’t be, but Victoria BC is a lovely place. I’m jealous.

I’m in Victoria! Sorry about the weather; it’s usually much prettier (warmer) than this. I would attend a Dopefest. But there would have to be more than one other person there, as I am very shy in real life and not good at small talk. However, give me beer and I might get quite chatty, come to think about it.

But I must tell you, I look much thinner on the Internet than I do in real life.
