Scottish Dopefest 2

Well, given that we Scots have recently come to prominence here, perhaps it’s time to think about another meeting.

We could avoid Waxy’s, which would give us a fair chance of actually finding each other. I was thinking late September in Edinburgh or Glasgow. Anyone up for it?

Yup, count me and **RealOmegaMan **in :slight_smile:

Obviously I’d prefer Glasgow, but if ganged up on, could be persuaded to try Edinburgh.

I agree with using a pub with signal this time! I know some people object to Wetherspoons on principle, but the upstairs of the Crystal Palace on Jamaica Street is quite civilised (and well placed for people watching, if you get a window table).

I think **ScaeryFaery **and **Gary Kumquat **were also interested.

Would be good to see **Scougs **again too, and I assume **Dunkelheit **will be accompanying you Paul? :slight_smile:

Yes, I’m in of course. :wink: We’ll probably be moved to West Lothian by then, so either Glasgow or Edinburgh will work for us.

I didn’t even have to post to confirm my attendance :wink:

The Wetherspoons at Queen street station is good, as is Bonapartes at Central station, basically as long as they do a decent pint of Guiness im happy.

September is good

A decent place, but they ran out of beer when I was there a couple of years ago.

I’m afraid you’ll have to count me out. I’m expecting to go to the Goodwood Revival (13th-15th Sept) and then a trip to France.

Stealth brag detected!

I was not alone. We were some fifty or more quite thirsty people in the party.

Hmm. I don’t think we’ll manage to get fifty of us together, but we’ll do our best with the thirsty bit. Are you joining us? :slight_smile:

But shouldn’t the meet-up be in Rutherglen, so lately shot to fame? :slight_smile: No doubt on a braw bricht moonlicht nicht etc.

Me, I am not very likely to go, but I will follow this thread and think it over. It would be fun to see some ScotDopers in person.

Yeah, some wag suggested we should meet at Tesco on Dalmarnock Road. I’m not up for that - Costas doesn’t serve booze.

Would be nice to see you if you can make it, but otherwise, we’ll raise a glass in your honour.

Right, how about 28th Sept, Crystal Palace on Jamaica St, Glasgow?

Sorry to hear that. Join us for Scottish Dopefest 3?

ah cannae make it - on the tag now after gettin in a wee scrap at firhill, and tryin tae hide fae polis :wink:

You got in a scrap at Firhill? How are you with empty rooms?

Works for me! (it’s my birthday, and I’ll drink if I want to…)

End of Sept might work for me, we’re just back from Canada by then and he’s been grumbling about not having seen his family for a while so we could possibly combine the two.

I’ve been to the Crystal Palace, they never ran out of beer when we were there but presumably because they were forewarned!

I take it back, my babysitter’s going away that weekend, so no birthday drinks for me :frowning:

Does that mean you can’t make it at all? :frowning:

Probably not - technically you’re meant to be able to take a little person into the family area there as long as you’re ordering main meals, but we’ve had difficulty there before, and I wouldn’t put it past the barstaff to insist that *everyone *at the table have a meal to comply with the rules :frowning:
