At least not the orgy. - s.e. ---

Okay. No orgy. All that means is that there will be no orgy/non-orgy split. Anyone still interested in having the Fest part? ---

The email I sent to pretty much everyone who posted in this thread: Hey! This is LaurAnge, from the SDMB (in case you haven’t figured that out yet). I noticed the Queerdope thread has been flagging, and as there was no date actually set and the orgy was cancelled, I figure we need to start over. So, I’m willing to do a large part in organizing the Dopefest, if it’s in Montreal. Whether or not we want to keep it Queerdope is one question, and when to have it is another. If you guys are interested, or have suggestions, please email me. If I get enough responses to abandon the Queerdope idea and just go for a cool, all-inclusive Montreal Dopefest, I’ll start a new thread. I hope it works out, 'cause I really wanna meet all of you! ``` LaurAnge (Lauren) ``` P.S.: If I sent this to you and you weren’t really considering going in the first place, I’m sorry. My sarcasm/joking detector is not the best. Also, the following people do not have their e-mail visible to the boards, so if you have it, could you pass it on to them? Hastur. (yep, just you, Hastur!) ---

I can put at least one person up, more if you bring a sleeping bag or don’t mind sharing a bed (unless I have a boyfriend!). - s.e. ---

**LaurAnge** , I just got your email. The middle of July… hmm… I don’t _think_ I have any weddings to attend. (I have one on the 13th, though; even if I wanted to [which I don’t], I couldn’t ditch it, since it’s an old family friend’s wedding) Of course, there is the little problem of my getting across the country… but I am interested if this happens! Let me know, okay? By the way, the wedding and the “getting across the country” thing are not polite excuses, as I really would like to meet you all as well. 🙂 F\_X ---

Sorry. Mid-July I’ll be in an area of the country that’s so remote I won’t even have access to a telephone. And that’s just the base camp. Come hell or high water, I’ll make any repeat you guys have. ---

Right, so I don’t know about Mid-July (I’m going to TorDope, after all), but I am without question going to Montreal for Pride in August. If there needs to be separate fest-ing, then let that be. But Lauren, Matt, will you be around for Pride and up for some Andylove? ---

Dates: Anytime in June: Possible, as far as I know, although pretty close. July: **matt** is in Spain. August: I’m personally leaving on the 5th of August (I think) for Europe, so I may or may not be able to meet you for a quick hug. The best date then seems to be one suggested further up for the now-defunct orgy: June 22. Everyone good with that? ---

I emailed everyone with this information, but I’ll post it here, as well. June 22? Sorry, got a wedding that morning, and (now I think about it) the last AWANA for the year later that afternoon. Sorry I can’t make it! Maybe next time! F\_X ---

This is reverse discrimination. How would you like it if I started a thread asking if we should we have a StraightDope? 😃 Get it? It’s the name of the . . . It has two . . . It’s a joke, really. . . Why is everybody looking at me like that? Fine. I laughed anyway. I’m leaving. Blame Canada. DaLovin’ Dj ---

**dj** , we’ve gone over this. And it’s kinda ironic that I’m trying to organize it now… seeing as I am not gay! ---

I know, I know. It was totally a joke. I couldn’t resist the “Straight”-Dope gimmick. Does a penchant for bad jokes make you a bad person? Well if so, then I don’t want to be . . . Nevermind. DaLovin’ Dj ---
