Hi! In various other threads, I’ve seen several posters that hail from Las Vegas. I’m thinking we have enough for a pretty decent Dopefest. I deploy in April, and I love to do this before I go. And heck, anyone who wants a reason to come out here, you’re invited, too! Anyone down? ---

FWIW, I’ll be there during the weekend that contains St Patrick’s Day. I’ll be there with some of my buddies for our annual guys weekend centered around the NCAA tournament, but I’m sure I can sneak away for a few hours at some point. If this coincides with your Dopefest, great, if not, would love to see you guys regardless. ---

Not from there but I’ll be there on my 3rd annual Super Bowl weekend with the guys. ---

We’ve had a couple here in Vegas over the years and they are fun! I would like to be a part - but my work schedule is so weird now that I can’t really commit to specific days or times - but keep me posted! Will be glad to help however I can - send me a PM if you need some help along the way. ---

Woohoo, responses! Well, we’ve got two suggestions for days…a St Patricks weekend Dopefest might be pretty fun! **Loach** , are you going to have any time during your weekend to go a 'festing? ---

I would venture to say that my work schedule is even more chaotic than **DMark** ’s, but I’m gonna subscribe to this thread so if I do have the time to attend, I can find where y’all are having it. 😛 ---

I’m curious myself. Probably won’t be around St. Paddy’s day but I’m thinking March. Vegas is an interesting place for Dopefesting, especially this time I’ve grown up a wee bit. ---
