That’s awesome. Nearly 4000 posts in, I still have yet to meet another Doper in person.
That’s because Houston, the 4th largest city in America, can’t get its ass together for a DopeFest. :mad:

Yanno, I’m not entirely sure. It was taken in this funky little museum in Haarlem [/oh-so-casual reference to trip to Holland last April] that was half natural history/19th-century scientific technology and half art. This was in the science half, and was some sort of instrument or other. I just thought it was a cool-looking object, and didn’t realize till I was looking at the pictures after I got home that I’d caught myself in the mirror of it.
All I can say is… boogie down!
This is me when I’m blue:
Yeah, fine. Here is a recent pic showing off my new hat!
Kayaking the Allegheny River this past weekend, from Emlenton to Parker, PA. BTW, Parker is the smallest city in the US!
Getting Dopers together is like herding cats.
Nice pics, all. I’ve got one I might want to share. I’ll post from home.
I haven’t made it to a DopeFest yet, although I’d love to make it to What Exit’s house for a Jersey one. Of course, if the timing is right for any of the occasional Ohio fests I’ll go.
WordMan and I are both guitar players and had exchanged lots of emails on that subject. I timed a visit to my sister-in-law’s house in New Jersey to coincide with one of WordMan’s band’s gigs in New York. It was fun. WordMan is a rocker.
Yes, I recall. He rocks. WordMan came and contributed to my “Let’s hear YOUR music!” thread a month or two ago.
Gettysdope is coming up on October 6th.
Here I am at Scooter Du, a vintage scooter rally in the Twin Cities.
Funnest Rally Evar!
But sometimes, we succeed. And it is good.
(Met HazelNutCoffee, Cerowyn, and Kid_A at the pub last night. Will be meeting more Dopers on Wednesday! )
Here is me at an Indians game earlier this summer (yeah, I was sunburnt)
and me and a friend at a surprise party.
Some of us kind of like it.
And there forever goes my anonymity.
It looks like either a musical instrument or a mid-victorian surgical implement.
Wasn’t there a class of musical instruments that had rotating jugs or vessels that made sound when you stroked them with a wet finger? Or am I channeling Peter Schickele again?
Just scanned some new pics but as usual no place to show them. Could someone be kind enough to host a couple?
Thanks,

The glass harmonica. One of Ben Franklin’s many inventions.
ETA: This wasn’t what this was. I think this was a measuring device of some sort.
You’re female? That comes as a surprise for no good reason.
