My birthday is February 11 which is a Sunday. I’m thinking of hosting a dopefest in the NoVa area that Saturday if there is interest. Either it will be at a restaurant or at my complex’s clubhouse, depending on expected attendance. So who would be interested? My birthday is just my excuse to host something, it’s just a regular dopefest like all the others. ---

Hey Opal, I think that I might be able to make it. It sounds like a great idea. Bill ---

We could have a Valentine’s theme, since it’s right before Valentine’s day… If it would be better to do it the following Saturday, we could do that… ---

::Checks calendar:: Hmmm. I pull back in to Norfolk 7 Feb. I go back to sea 13 Feb. So I need to be back aboard the IKE 12 Feb. I have no valentine. Will there be naked breasts at this dopefest? ---

Boobies? Unsure. Right now it doesn’t look like anyone but Billdo is coming. Bill? You wanna show your boobies? ---

**Opal** , you can put **DrMatrix** and me down as a definite/maybe (the maybe contingent mostly on a place to crash). I spoke with **Ukelele Ike** for a few minutes last night, and he mentioned an interest in attending as well. He even suggested that if several NYC people were going, we could rent a car. ---

Car problems and a schedule in constant flex will not allow me to positively commit, Ope… naked breasts or not (though there does seem there will be a dearth of naked female breasts it is not a “make or break” issue in my mind). I’ll try to make it. 'twould like to see “birdie lady” again at least!! ---

I will be distraught and upset, having dropped **Anniz** off at the airport for her return flight to Sweden that afternoon, on the occasion of your Dopefest, **Opal**. Sorry, I won’t be making it. ☹ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/midatlantic-birthday-dopefest/49571.md?page=2)
