It's Time! Chi-Town Dopefest, Anyone?

I think I’m free just about any Friday evening. And I love cookies!

I can’t do the 25th–I have PALS certification that day, and I work at 0600 the next day. Poop. Have fun without me…

rigs, I can’t do the 25th either. We haven’t settled on a date yet anyway, so no need to poop yet. :wink:

Actually, there are at least 3 people who can’t do the 25th, so maybe we should strike it from the choices?

I guess we could attempt to do something the 18th of Jan (this Friday), but that seems to be so little notice.

So, let’s look at February, unless people really want the 18th.

We have the 1st, the 8th, the 22nd and the 29th (yay, leap year!).

Thoughts?

I vote for the 1st, but I don’t have a strong preference either way. I’m just voting for the 1st because it’s the closest.

I think the 1st sounds good! I agree that this week is too short notice, and there’s too many people who can’t make the 25th.

Sounds good to me too, but let’s make sure we get some of the other Chicago dopers to weigh in (or not) before we make a decision.

I’m into the soonest possible time too, I have to admit. I could do this week, but I have no life yet.

Heh. I felt the same way my first month in Chicago.

If you and Millit (and anyone else) are free this Friday - well, I was going to go see Persepolis by myself. Any and all are welcome to join me and grab a drink afterwards.

I’m pretty much free for any date except Feb 1 in the near future. I’m pretty sure I could convince sugar and spice to come along as well.

Who am I kidding? Any Friday is okay at this time for me.

It’s never the two of you eh??? Almost like you were the SAME PERSON???

(That works if you say it like Inspector Clousseau)

The 1st is good for me.

That’s sweet of you. But now I have to show my complete lack of knowledge. Is this a movie or a play or something else?

I’m definitely interested, if only to get me out of the house and a break from the puppy. I just don’t know what I’d be getting myself into. You can PM me if you want to give me the details here.

I’m leaving for Mexico on the 8th, so that wouldn’t work for me, but I could make any other Friday in February. Uptown’s perfect!

Hey, this time I actually have an excuse for not being able to make it, other than just being a big old party pooper! Having my foot sliced open on the 25th. Have to see how quickly I get how mobile after that.

But don’t plan a date around me in any event. History tells that I’ll just end up cancelling anyhow! But I’ll really WANT to make it, and do my best to make up a good story… :rolleyes:

As usual, I will sign up for, but not show up to, Chi-Dope.

(What can I say? At least I’m honest about it.)

monitors thread quietly

I don’t attend parties, I just crash em.

Pretty much any Friday in February would be good, as my automobile should be back from the dead by then, and if not I guess I’m not too good to take the CTA, assuming it exists then…

Personally, I think next year (10 years after this board opened) there should be a huge blowout Dopefest in Chicago.

Fine by me, since I have every intention of still being here.

I really don’t want to do anything on Fridays–sorry–but I am usually exhausted by the end of my shift on Fridays and not willing to drive downtown in a uniform (no shower at work–and to change from scrubs to clothes w/o showering is too gross).

Sorry to be such a party pooper–don’t let me stop you from carrying on!
