Any interests is a Summer Aught’8 PEACHTREE DOPEFEST somewhere in Atlanta or even a DOPEFEST ABOVE THE CLOUDS in Chattanooga? Dates and all to be decided, though generally weekends probably work best all around. Sundays are always good to me, every other Saturday works, and I’d like to do after July 1 as I get a bunch more leave time if needed from work (though I’m a few hours drive from both cities so could do it with just a weekend). If interested, please to post, and if enough are interested in either then we can do scheduling and places and the like. ---

I’m posting to subscribe to the thread. I have only been to one fest, and it was 4 years ago. I’m itching to go again!! ---

I could make it to either location, depending on the date. ---

I would be interested in some Chattanooga action. I know I might seem new to you guys, but I’ve been lurking a _long_ time, so I’d like to pop my DopeFest cherry. Another vote for Sundays, as well. ---

If we’re going for future dates I’d like to do the 3rd weekend in July in Chatanooga. That will give us all time to plan and get hotel rooms. That would be July 18 - 20 for anyone making a weekend of it. Who’s with me?? ---

Where in Chattanooga would be a good place to accomodate us? ---

I knew we should have been more opinionated.
