Since there are a few returning after the pay-to-post, and all kinds of new people joining up every day, I’d like to know who is in the Mid-Atlantic now. We used to be a pretty social bunch, but now it seems we’re down to an annual shindig or two. One of them just passed (Gettysdope) and one is coming up (Dope the Halls). Sound off if you live in: Maryland Virginia Delaware Pennsylvania Washington, DC New Jersey Or even if you’re within driving distance for a party in the Baltimore/Washington/Philadelphia corridor. ---

Still in the boonies of St. Mary’s county. I’d love to host an event at my place, but no one would drive out to the middle of nowhere. Looks like I’ll never have an excuse to clean house… ---

Harrisburg represent! I’ve never done the DopeFest thing, though, because large, social-type gatherings give me some nasty anxiety. I even skip family reunions for that reason. ---
