La Shish Detroit Dopefest--you know you wanna go

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

So at the last Ann Arbor dopefest, I brought up the idea of a Detroit dopefest and La Shish* was mentioned as a possible spot. How about weekend after next? Either Friday (4/25) or Saturday (4/26) would work well for Rick and me. Anyone** interested?

Also, I know they have a couple of locations. Any preferences?

*For those of you who don’t know the place, it is a Middle Eastern restaurant. Think good bread, hummus, and baba ganoush.

**Kyla? Cranky? Hello Again? Shirley Ujest, who told me she would think about coming to a dopefest sometime soon? Anyone else either living here or crazy enough to drive here???

I wanna go! Either day would be good for me.

3

Oh BTW, there are multiple La Shish restaurants in the Detroit Metro area. Which city are we talking about? Here is the website for the La Shish locations

I wanna go! Me me me me me! I will eat so much bread! Bread! Hahaha!

::: deep breaths ::: Seven more days. I can do this.

Um. Anyway, yes, I would love to go. I’m dependent on Cranky or Hello Again for transport, of course.

5

Thanks for the link, Shadowfox. I don’t have a preference. Does anyone know which one is the mothership, or does anyone prefer one location over the other?

6

Crap!

I’m graduating that weekend, and my family will be in town. Chow down for me!

7

Damn, damn, damn. Would some time during that week work better for you, Cranky? If we are going to do this soon, for me it has to be before 4/29, but otherwise I am flexible.

Oh, and happy graduation. :smiley:

If I can score a ride, I’d love to go. Put me on the “maybe” list! :slight_smile:

Well, I think a weekend would be best for most people… but I would be available that Thursday night. My parents aren’t coming until Friday morning, and I have Friday off (of course). But don’t make your plans around me. I can always get in on it the next time.

I’ll be sure to make sure ShannyStalker and husband know, too.

**Shadowfox, Kyla, **and Persephone, can we organize this for Thursday night instead? It just won’t be the same without Cranky.

I know there are more Detroit dopers out there. Anyone know of any names? I think there are some newbies.

Mmmmmm…newbies…

Thursday would be fabulous. In fact, a Dopefest dinner of wonderful Middle Eastern food would be just about the best way I can think of to celebrate motzei Pesach. My only qualm is that I can’t partake until it’s pretty dark and I’m worried that sunset will be too late.

12

Thursday works for me…as long as I can find a ride. :smiley:

13

Unfortunately, Thursday does not work for me at all. That pesky job and all. Have fun everybody!

14

Tomorrow’s sunset is supposed to be 8:18, Kyla. It probably won’t be much different on Thursday. Will that work, or is it a set time you need to adhere to?

15

Mind if I come? I’m new to the Detroit area, and haven’t been to a Dopefest out here yet.

Plus, Middle Eastern food sounds yummy.

Thursdays should be OK, as well as weekends.

16

Nope, that would be fine! I still gots to wait til Cranky or Hello Again say that they’re going and would be willing to take me, though.

17

Atreyu, of course you are welcome. I would have emailed you if you hadn’t found this thread by Sunday. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Brynda.

If you’re still trying to think of other Detroit area dopers, I know that Brutus is in Royal Oak. He recently threatened Troy with invasion after I posted a special version of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” :wink:

19

Sorry Thursday doesn’t work for you, Shadowfox. Are you sure you don’t feel a cold coming on? :smiley:

If Brutus doesn’t show up in this thread soon, wanna email him, Atreyu?

Ooops. Sorry. Didn’t realize Rick was signed in, and now I am too lazy to change it. The above was from me, though.
