Saturday, the 29th of September. Time? How does 3 or 4pm sound? ---

BTW, connected to the Horse Brass is a store called The Belmont Station that sells authentic English fare. We’re talking Jelly Babies, folks! Spotted Dick! Vegemite! ---

Possible scheduling conflict (part-time dad—spend weekends with wonderful 6 year old son), but I’ll try to clear the decks. Let you know by Monday (9/24). ---

Hope you make it. I will, of course, bring the coveted Straight Dope Staff Coffee Mug for all to gawk at. 🙂 ---

There is a completely off-the-wall outside chance that sometime in the near future there is a possiblity that I may become with any luck and depending on a myriad of external forces over which I have no control but if I have anything to say about it will actually happen … a resident of Eugene, Oregon. At least for a little while. Maybe. I’ll keep you posted. [sub]_(I know – you’re absolutely riveted to my plight)_[/sub] ---

Anyway, if you do get up this way, there’ll be a beer or two waiting for ya. 🙂 ---

The first pint of Hair Of The Dog is on me, Mr. Batty. BTW, in another forum(Great Debates) I’ve invited Hastur to join us next Saturday. No answer back yet, but I hope he can make it. ---

I, being the humble person that I am, of course accept all offers of free beer. I’m trying to figure out if I can move in with my cousin for a little while (he’s a 27 year old professional hippy, I mean student, in Eugene). While I’m there I may look into furthering my studies as well. Anyway without going into too much – by the end of the year I shall either be in Eugene, or I’ll have completely followed through with my plans and will have made it back to Maine – where there are far fewer Dopers – which is sad. ---

Well… Portland sort of. Actually… THE COUV! Yes, that’s right… Vancouver, WA is my home. (I work in Beaverton though… 😛 (And I hate it… so if anybody has any good job leads… 😉 ) A Portland-fest would be fun… post a specific date and I’ll see if I can make it!! I’d love to put some faces to names. (Friends and I are at the Horse Brass constantly, any other regulars there?) ---

I don’t think I could make it to the Horse Brass on the 29th, but I just wanted to check in as P-town Doper. ---

You ASSMUNCHES! I spent 4 birthdays in a row at the Horsebrass, my most favoriteist bar in the universe. But alas, now I live in Santa Barbara and your talk of scotch eggs makes me weep in sorrow (someone will invariably enter here and explain that there IS good beer in Santa Barbara, feh.). I’m sad, now, and homesick. Oh yeah, and Jack Batty, you’ll fit in REALLY WELL in Eugene, hee hee. . . ---

Wow. I never even considered the possibility of a Dopefest near me. I’m from Salem, myself. So how many is that so far? A dozen or so? ---
