The title says it all. We, at the last one, said we should have them more often. The weather is beautiful and we should have it before it gets shitty, right? Anyone interested? If so, when? ---

Gotcha, so August 8th is good for you? _D&R_ Yes, yes, yes. You Ann Arborites are a hard bunch to please. Hm, I’m guessing we’ll end up holding the second one in Ann Arbor again. This isn’t a bad thing by any means. ---

I’m interested, but not in the probe part. Is participation in the probing required? ---

Actually, the entire Dopefest is a probing. That’s kinda…it. That’s what you do at Dopefests, right? ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] I was thinking “trebuchet”. (My guess is 6 hours) [/QUOTE] More like 8 hours. But probably less by trebuchet. Maybe someday I’ll visit the LP and will force you all to have a dopefest! ---

I’m all for another Dopefest. The Earl of Sandwich Restaurant isn’t open in Ann Arbor yet for all you UK Dopers. Grizzy Peak worked out, or we could try Pizza House. Pizza House has been expanded and redesigned. Very classy. The Grizzly Peak has a cavernous back room. Either way we’re gonna have a roaring good time. ---

I once put together a party at Conor O’Neil’s on Main in A2; they have ciders on tap and very good food. If you sit in the back it’s not smoky at all. _sigh_ Sometimes I miss Michigan. Then I see snow on the news and laugh like a goon. ---
