It's Been A While: Michigan Dopefest?

Ha! Miracle fruit. I was actually kind of disappointed about miracle fruit. Not because it didn’t work, but because it left a funky after-taste (and present-taste?). Kind of a pungent fruit rollup glaze on the back of my tongue.

Would anyone want to come out in my direction? I’m in Sterling Heights. We might hit a restaurant out here, then head back to my place for some serious geek games? Just a thought.

Fine, but I’m bringing Queen Tonya with me, whatever we decide.

Oh, and Miracle Whip!

I’d even be cool with have a couple of mini-Dopefests until we get the big one worked out.

It’ll probably be difficult to get a usual dopefest going since this is around the holiday season, but a small one would be cool, too. I’m free from the 18th-23rd and the 26th-4th.

I’m dark 12/17-12/24.

I know I’m available the week between Christmas and New Year’s (except for New Year’s Eve), and possibly other times as well, but that’s less certain.

I’m available for a get-together between xmas and new years, FWIW.

Also, just want to BUMP this.

Okay, so I’ve been a regular reader for <how> many years now and just today realized that dopefests not only exist, but have been existing in my backyard. Count me in when it’s decided where and when. Are these family friendly events or doper only guestlists?

Hey ghostman. Yeh! You’ve been totally missing out.

These affairs are “the more the merrier”, so please bring any friends or family you think can tolerate the magnitude of awesomeness that is more than a few Dopers in one room. There is much merriment and mirth, and maybe a some feats of strength. So bring a helmet.

Here’s some pics of the gang at Queet Tonya’s house, two years ago.

And here’s some a year and a half later, in the park across her street.

Aw man, I love those shorts I was wearing. So ugly.

Bump? I’d hate to see this fizzle out.

They were quite spiffy.

So, let’s get a mini-Dopefest going some time between Christmas and New Year’s. Who’s in and what do we want to do?

I’m in California now. It was about 60 degrees today. I went out wearing a thermal and a t-shirt over it, and I got a little warm. I think tomorrow I’m just gonna wear a t-shirt. Oh, let’s see, weather.com says tomorrow’s high is 63.

What? Oh yeah, so, no Dopefests for me until I get back to Michigan in a week and a half. Hope you’re all having fun.

Now that my set of insanity is finished, I know I’m in. I’ll let you guys figure out when and where. If anyone from the Lansing area wants gonna’ go, I can carpool.

I’m in.

looking at calendar

The 28th, 29th or the 30th will be fine for me.

And, I thought your shorts were one of the “magic eye” things. I spent the whole day focusing on your crotch hoping something would pop out at me. Wait. That didn’t sound right at all.

Shall I hump the air for your viewing pleasure next time?

Okay, guys. We have the 28th, 29th, and 30th on board. That is a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Any preferences as to the day? Any preferences as to the activity?

I can do a weeknight, how bout game night? With potluck style junk food?

That would be much appreciated. Although, it may induce vomiting.

YES please!

Works for me!
