Yes, still there - moved house (well, got the keys on Friday so we’ve not actually moved yet!) but still same business premises so I’m easy to find!
I was working so I couldn’t go through from Edinburgh but, as I recall, the Scottish dopefest was mainly an afternoon in a busy Glasgow pub! As such, it went well, I gather!
Maybe around 100-ish? I went to several of the big NYC fests waaay back in the day and I have a lot of fond memories. Robot Arm and I hang out on the regular; I can’t say I spend a ton of time here anymore but it would be fun to have a Boston fest again sometime.
Zero that I know of. I suspect I have met two based on conversations IRL. I’ve never attended a Dopefesst, even though I want to. NORDAK Dopefest, anyone?
A hundred, maybe? Used to go to a lot of Dopefests, a dozen or more years ago. There used to be a very active Doper group in the greater DC area - went to a bunch of those Dopefests (including the ones out at Jonathan Chance’s old residence in NW VA) and hosted a few at my house; went to a few of the multi-day NYC Dopefests over New Year’s; went to a number of DaveW0071’s Ribfests; went to a couple of Raleigh NC Dopefests and one in Virginia Beach.
It’s been occurring to me lately that there’s a number of Dopers in the DC area who’ve come along since the old days that I wouldn’t mind meeting IRL. One of these days I ought to do something about that.
I’ve met only one. We met in a natural way, as this is a small town. However, I had figured out his identity ahead of time and he did not know me. I think he was rather horrified to have a woman run up to him while he was at work, saying, “Hi, I’m Dung Beetle!”
I remember Polycarp and norinew. Didn’t know aena or Chiefscott. But I was supposed to get some electrical work done by dances. I knew Opal really well, we hung out all the time for a couple of years.
I went to a few of JC’s parties in VA, those were some fun times.
Maybe 50? Most aren’t active any more. There used to be dopefests in London and Dublin a couple times per year. I stay in touch with the core London group on FB.
None. The last time there was a KC area Dope Fest (about ten-ish years ago?) I missed it because I was out of town on vacation that week. And the couple times I’ve tried to suggest another one just never seem to get much traction.
There was one Doper who was a regular poster several years ago, who I figured out through her posts that she worked at the same college book store that my wife used to work at. So I may have met her in real life at some point but not as a Doper.
