> [@brownie55](#): > > Hi neighbor. > > Still in New Carrollton. _Plug_ There exists a lightly used mailing list for the MADs. It’s the Yahoo Group madopers; sign up today! _Shameless plug_ I’m organizing a very loose group to go to the MD Renaissance Faire this Sunday. Anybody who wants to drop by and say hi is welcome. ---

I live in Cockeysville, which is north of Baltimore City. I think it would be cool if we all got together somewhere. Maybe a restaurant somewhere convenient? Hey, any excuse for drinks!! 🆒 ---

Creaky! You’re still alive! Woohoo! It’s been TWO YEARS since I saw you last! Unacceptable, since you work all of ten minutes from here. ---

> [@GingerOfTheNorth](#): > > Creaky! You’re still alive! Woohoo! It’s been TWO YEARS since I saw you last! Unacceptable, since you work all of ten minutes from here. I know, I suck. 😛 I’m really pretty much a hermit: I go from home to work and to the Ramada for karaoke once in awhile and that’s about it. And I keep missing the wonderful Christmas party you all have. It really has been two years, hasn’t it? Man. So why don’t we try and get together at a nearby restaurant, seriously, before the holidays, with any other Mid-Atlantic Dopers who are interested? I’ll even buy you all a drink or two!! ---

Your state bird is a grumpy chicken. oooooh! Of course, our state mascot is a turtle, so I’m not sure I should be throwing stones, but still.. ---

I think an angry turtle can beat a grumpy chicken. ---

I’m here; I went to a few Dopefests, but stopped going five years ago after I asked for a ride in a thread (almost no Dopefests are public-transit accessible) and nobody responded. I’m the first to admit I’m pretty boring, so that’s probably the reason. Don’t need a brick wall to fall on me. ☹ (Should I have been offering to pay for gas? Nobody ever asked me to, or even mentioned the subject.) ---

I am in Delaware. And we have a dopefest every Tuesday afternoon at 3. ---

Sounds like fun, sorry I missed it! (well, I was out of town on a Girl Scout trip shoot me now, and I went a few weeks ago with a gal pal, so I wouldn’tve been able to make it anyhow… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mid-atlantic-dopers/467495.md?page=4)
