Mini Election-week Dopefest in Salt Lake CIty

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Awright, who’s in Salt Lake?

RJKUgly and Diane have expressed interest, Byzantine, Snark both live in town . . .

Who else?

I’m going to be in SLC November 5-10. Since I live in the ass-end of nowhere, this might be my only chance to meet Dopers IRL.

I’m going to be without a car, staying at Little America, so downtown will be best. Squatters, Red Rock, Port o Call, whatever–I’m easy. I think Sunday or Wednesday might be best for me, but any day that week will work too. An overnighter is out for me (I’m at a conference all week), but I’m happy staying up as late as is possible in rockin’ downtown SLC.

I’m buying the first round, and will take pictures. I might even have nametags.

Again, just to emphasize . . . I’m buying the first round.

Let me know. I’d really love to meet y’all.

andros, to hang with you I’d almost GO to SLC, but I’m still recovering from ChiDope. Have fun!

3

Ok, now that was flirting. :wink:

Thanks, Magdalene. I’ll drink a beer for you.

4

sorry. :hangs head in shame: Although if you were a woman, or some kind of alien with horrible deformities, I’d still think you are cool, so it’s not technically flirting.

5

Fair enough.

But hey, a little flirting never hurt anyone.

Well, there was that one time . . .

6

I’m just gonna go to bed before I dig myself any deeper.
Hope the 'fest turns out to be fun! Those name tags are gonna be a collector’s item someday…

7

Heh heh . . . you haven’t dug yourself anywhere, milass. :wink:

8

Gratuitous bump, in hopes of more flirting with Magdalene.

9

I think everyone else is too shocked and appalled by us to post here! :o

Flirting with you is kinda scary, I don’t want to get too comfortable - you could unleash Jim-Jim and Precious upon me at any moment.

10

Nah, they stay in their crates most of the time.

Hey, even if nobody wants to have dinner with me in SLC (sob), at least we can forge a deep and meaningful relationship. Or something.
Er . . . so. Uhhh . . .nice weather, huh?

11

Sorry, been on the run and didn’t see this until now.

Sunday or Wednesday evening would work for me. If there are no other preferences, Port O’ Call would be my choice, as I have a membership there.

As far as night life is concerened, I’m probably the worst guy to ask, but if we can get Diane to show, I’m willng to bet she knows the hot spots to the north! :wink:

Anyway I’m up for dinner, drinks, whatever. 'Bout time we had a dopefest here, even a mini one!

See, andros, our idyll was just too good to last without interruption. But I want you to know I still respect you, and I hope we can still be friends. A little part of me will always have a strictly intellectual, non-sexual crush* on you! Best to Jim-Jim and Precious and the Salt Lake City Dopers.

*Why no, I’ve never said the words “andros has such a way with words that if he weren’t married I’d like to make him monosyllabic.” Where did you get that idea?

13

Just a little shameless bump to see if any of the other Utah dopers see this.

Ugly

14

And another.

Just shameless.

(Mag: duh, er, um . . . (monosyllabic anough? ;))

15

I opened this thread again with great trepidation :eek:, but my wildest dreams were realized. Yeah, andros, that will do it. Yes, yes, I can die happy now. And who knew it took so little to reduce you to monosyllables? :smiley:

Oh, and a bump for the thread cause I likes ya.

16

Well, no other Utah dopers have spoken up yet, but maybe they will yet. I’m thinking that some may check in while at work today.

andros, if you still want to get together, let me know and we can arrange the details.

This may be one of the “miniest” dopefests ever. Oh well, we can get together and talk about the rest of them. :slight_smile:

Hey! How did I miss this?!?!?!

It sounds great! I will be unavailable a few days for work and mom-stuff, but name a place and date and I sure as heck will do everything I possibly can to make it there!

Where’s Byz?

18

Okeydokey. I’ll be at Little America, which is right around the corner from Port o’ Call, which Ugly conveniently has a membership to.

What say next Sunday, 11/5/00, 7:00 pm? Work for you, Diane?

I’ll drop Byzantine an email and see if she can make it.

19

If Diane agrees, I’ll call the Port and reserve a table for 5 or 6 (just in case).

I think all you’ll need to do is ask for the table reserved under my name. I’ll verify that and email you all with the details.

Assuming no problems, see you guys Sunday night at 7:00.

Ugly

Sounds good. Might just be the three of us–Byzantine is going to try to make it, but she’s not sure.

Drop me a line, Ugly, andros_sd@hotmail.com
