Dopers, I invite you to come visit Dartmouth, my Venerable Hanover, NH College ™, on Sunday the 12th for a New England Dopefest. We’re going to be meeting at Molly’s, a restaurant/bar on Main, at approximately 4 pm. Confirmed attendees are myself and Geobabe. She’s graciously stated that she can provide transit for any who live in Western Mass. I can arrange transit from White River Junction, VT, which is a nearby train/bus station, if anyone is inspired to take that route. If sleeping arrangements are needed and you don’t mind my…slightly non-clean… room (I’ll pick up, I promise), then sleeping arrangements can be made for Saturday or Sunday evening. Questions? Comments? Directions? Join us in our merriment! ---

Rhode Island Doper checkin in! I don’t think I’ll be able to make it, but I’ll keep you posted! I dig (archaeology) on the weekends and the season’s almost over so we have to finish up soon… I’ll see what I can do though. ---

I’ll be home in in Ye Olde Hometowne (Charlton, Massachusetts) for a few weeks in late Dec/January, so I might see who is around then, but I can’t make this one. Have a wicked good time. 😃 I’m sure I’ll meet the New England Doper Cohort sooner or later. ---

No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from (New) England. God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more methinks would share from me For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Charming as you all may be, I’m not up for the 3+ hour drive to Hangover, NH. I could maybe be talked into a Pioneer Valley dopefest at some point… ---

Well, it looks to be myself, Geobabe, and Robot Arm. This should be amusing. 🙂 Anyone else? Don’t be shy, now. We’re worth it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-england-dopefest/39494.md?page=2)
