Replacement for Mountaindope-GingerDope! June 8th

Since MountainDope has been postponed until July, GingerByTheBay and I thought we’d throw a “Meet Ginger” Dopefest on June 8th instead. Md, DC, NOVA and Pa dopers, please come on out to historic havre de Grace, Md. to welcome GingerOfTheNorth and her buglet to the states.

Like Jonathan, we live in a home with quite a bit of land around it, so bring the kids if you want, there is plenty of space for them to run and play. I figured that I would get hamburgers and hot dogs for grilling, and have everyone who’s coming bring stuff like buns, side dishes, drinks, etc…( It’s expensive to move to another country! I can’t afford to throw a full ride dopefest for a while yet! ) I hope all of you who were planning on going to MountainDope can come down here instead. Call it…oh…BayDope, the water’s only a 5 minute walk away.

I’d be more than willing. Any camping areas around you? Tark and I were talking about making a weekend camping trip out of MountainDope…

Hama, there’s TONS of room for camping right in our yard. Dave wasn’t kidding when he said lots of room. We may also have sleeping room in the house, and a big front porch for sleeping under the stars-ish.

Unless something unforeseeable happens, I’m there.

I love the Havre de Grace area… wish we were in MD already…

Jeez, jump in my grave why doncha!

Let me check with Lady Chance and I’ll keep you posted.

Please strike a blow against my ignorance and tell me what this means.

Oh, Dave’s just replacing a Dopefest I was having on June 8th but had to delay, that’s all.

Just some good natured ribbing between MADs, nothing more.

Mad is right, for you two.

After driving to and through HdG many times, I suspect that it’s actually in Delaware but nobody will admit it!

Dave/Ginger, while I’d love to attend, I doubt I can. I have my hands quite full for the next few months/years. (see sig)

Dave and Gingy, I would be honored to attend and look forward to meeting the lovely and talented Gingy live and in person.

Zap!

Well. As mentioned, I’m not sure if I’ll be here or not, but if I am, I think it would be terribly keen to attend.

I don’t want you to attend if you’re going to say things like “terribly keen”. It would just frighten the children. Do you think you could refrain for the day? Please? :wink:

Wah. I wanna go! :slight_smile:

Something weird may happen and I may be driving thru around that time, therefore I may stop in my loaded down car and bother ya’ll on my way to GA :wink:

Hey! You take that back! There’s all of Cecil county and the Susquehanna river between HdG and Delaware, you… you… you… HdG disser, you!

I grew up (partly) in HdG, and live in Delaware now.

Sorry Dave and Ginger. I’ll be missing for the same reason I had to miss MountainDope… A slew of relatives I haven’t seen in many years are descending on Newark. 'Tis the occaision of epeepunk getting his professional degree in architecture, and I won’t be missing that, nor the siblings, nor the party that will surround the event.

Ain’t that the truth!

I’m planning on driving up anyway. :slight_smile:

Gotta meet this woman who’s loony enough to marry Dave.

Did I say that out loud? I meant “who’s loony over Dave.” That’s right. :smiley:

I might be interested. I’m supposed to be moving into a new apartment that weekend, though, so I’m not exactly 100% sure that I’ll be up for it.

Assuming I can get off work you can count me in as well.

Since UncleBill will be in town, I would venture a guess we will be there.

Well, so long as Weirddave promises not to molest any baby ducks, the Bluesclan will be there.
