Way back in April 2001, I posted [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=65481). As a result, I met my first and to date only person from this message board. So now the question is, who’s next? I’m talking about a drink, coffee, lunch, dinner, whateva. I live in Maryland, and I work in the District. Seems there are a few of us floating around. I might go over to the DC Lunch Bunch thread one of these days and check it out, too. This weekend, I’m working on getting a new car, and running errands and the like that I’m too lazy to do during the week. But I could be convinced to do otherwise. Next weekend, I’ll be in NJ, celebrating my parents’ 33rd anniversary. So maybe the _following_ weekend could be doable! Or other dates. I’m flexible, but only figuratively. Who wantsta? ---

I’d love to meet you, dear, but logistics make it impossible. Alas…WA state is a bit far. But who knows? I hope to make it out there one of these days to visit my NY and Chicago and DC area friends…while I am hopping around that side of the country I might as well stop in Maryland too! So…can I have a raincheck? ---

Hell, **Dan** , I’ll meet you. You couldn’t live more than, what, fifteen minutes away? We outta see if we can get **John Corrodo** to show up too and have a little Laurelite dopefest. ---

Cheri, I can give you a raincheck, but you’ll have to wait till the Automatic Bill Pay goes through from my bank! Hell, I hardly ever write physical checks. Hey, I know! How about a rain hug {{{{cheri }}}}}}… **Asylum** , sure - you got any particular place in mind? Sure are tons of places up and down Rte. 1. ---

Nothing better than a hug, hon, and since I live in the PNW…MOST hugs end up being rain hugs~ so here is one back! (And another to be redeemed whenever I get out that way) ((((dantheman)))) ---

Do you know where the [Ram’s Head](http://www.ramsheadtavern.com/savage/index.html) is? Great beer and food. Aim for possibly Friday of next week? ---

I’m not familiar with it, no, but I could probably locate it. Trouble is, next weekend I’m heading up to New Jersey for an anniversary celebration, and I’ll likely leave early on Friday. Guess I’ll need a rain check too! Definitely another time, though. [sub]by the way, **Asylum** , are you male or female? It doesn’t make a difference regarding getting together, but it would help me know who to look for![/sub] ---

**dantheman** (and **Asylum** ), there are two Dopefests coming up in the Mid-Atlantic area in the next five weeks. Why don’t you just join us for one or both? On October 5, two weeks from now, **Zappo** is hosting the [AirmanRobynBabyDope](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=116360) gathering at the resplendent Castell Zappo up near Harrisburg, PA. And on October 26, **Jonathan Chance** is hosting his annual [Dope-a-Ween](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=134744) party at his place up in the northern corner of VA near Harpers Ferry. Come join the assorted festivities! ---

**Dantheman** , if you recall I have the same name as yours (I mentioned this in the thread you started about what do dopers names make you think of). Unless I’m transgendered I wouldn’t be describing myself as a man if I wasn’t. 🙂 Also I feel like a dumbass now because I forgot that I’m taking my girlfriend out for her birthday on Friday. So how 'bout next Friday? Or if you’re going to **Chance’s** party I could just see you there. Oh, and if **Aguecheek’s** reading this; please don’t mention my screwup to your wife. They do talk after all. ---

**dantheman** , honey, I’d _love_ to come visit you. Only problem is, you might have to lend me the airfare, cos I’m a wee bit broke just at the moment… What? You don’t have $1000 or so sitting round in a bank account to contribute to my holiday fund? Bugger! Looks like it’s [Rottnest](http://www.rottnest.wa.gov.au/) for me this summer. 😃 ---

Hey! I have the memory of a sieve. Important stuff like your gender hardly ever gets through. 😃 Yep, looks like I may have to break down and go to one of them there DopeFests. Hope the hazing rituals aren’t too invasive! 😛 **tritone**
