I’m keeping an eye on the PhilaDope threads, for when my schedule frees up next month.
I was wondering where you’d disappeared to. Haven’t seen you since February. We should have a couple of dinners next month at the very least.
NOOOOOOOOO! (sticks fingers in ears) La la la la la la la, la la la, la la la…
Looks like Meros may be joining us too.
Too bad there isn’t any beer there that I can get him to buy me… 
I’m in, oh yeah. It’s been way too long since the last one.
That it has. And we won’t really be able to meet in two weeks because that’s July 4th. Hopefully the week after that… or something.
A lot of people haven’t seen me since February. I had tournament season, then the spring holidays, then other stuff, etc, etc, and now I’m into the last two weeks before the national TKD championship.
You’ve been doing a good job organizing the Philly Dope fests, Pisces, it’s just my schedule that’s been stuffed.
I hate to do this, but I need to back out. I don’t know if Dave is still going, though.
I had a nasty surprise at work. There’s a meeting next week that the permanent employees have to attend, but I can’t be at work without them, and I’m not being paid for that time. Factor in the fact that we’re still responsible for putting in the required mandatory OT, and that means I’ve got to come in this Saturday.
Anybody want my job? :mad:
Robin
That sucks royally. You’ll be missed. Have Dave let me know if he’s going to be there, just so we have an idea on numbers.
And the next time you guys want to do Dim Sum around here, just let me know. You know I’ll be up for it.
I’ll be busy manning a vendor’s booth with my Mother at the Irish Festival at Penn’s Landing Sat&Sun.
Y’all come and take a look-see!
Oh, sure - have these Dopefests now that I’ve moved away.
That’s fine, I get it now, I understand…
Esprix
See, it’s all 'cause you moved away before I moved here. After being in NYC, I couldn’t handle being somewhere with a lower Doper Turnout.
Of course, you’re more than welcome to come back over Labor Day to visit and join in on the Big 'Ol Labor Day DopeFest.
I’ll be in Toronto over Labor Day for Worldcon - sad for you, glad for me. 
Esprix
I’ll be in Toronto over Labor Day for Worldcon - sad for you, glad for me.
Esprix
Well, it appears that Robin and I can both make it, we just might be a little late. She finishes up around noon, I think.
So… we’re still tentative, but I’ll go out on a limb and say yes.
sigh I’d almost be willing to give up a pre-wedding DopeFest for that. Almost, but not quite.
If you ever do get back this way, let us know and we’ll throw you one hell of a party.
Doors, I’ll make sure they know that two more people are coming if you guys don’t get there before we go in. It’ll be good to see you again. It’s been far too long.
So, at the moment, we have
Verrain
TruePisces
Home of the Braves
Zappo
Airman Doors
MsRobyn
Booga
Cleophus
Meros
and possibly twickster, if the weather doesn’t agree with her.
Missing anyone?
Well, I’m on my way. See y’all there 
So where’s Cleophus with his Newton o’ Quotes?
I’m coming, I’m coming!
Keep in mind all of these are grossly out of context ;). Also, not all of these are attributed, I don’t quite remember who said what.
Concerning food:
“Shrimp toes” (me)
“Gelatinous shrimp thing”
“BBQ Pork bung” (Airman Doors)
“Not-so-sticky rice balls”
“Teflon rice” (TP’s friend)
“Congealed shrimp thing”
“Sesame balls”
And, in general:
“I like Dave’s balls.” (Booga?)
“When’s your birthday?” (Airman Doors)
“Thursday.” (MsRobyn)
“Oh shit.” (Airman Doors)
“Mango my picture?”
“This actually does feel sort of like a breast.”
“Booga brains is a meal, Robyn brains is a snack.” (Airman Doors)
“It’s just got Amber eating a sesame testicle.” (Booga?)
I would like to accept responsibility for this quote, though it was Airman who made the earlier comment on the sesame buns resembling a scrotum.
Though i would like to see Booga say that since, if I have grasped things correctly he is the mini-Doors.
