Son of Sugardope rides again

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

(or Return of the Dawn of Sugardope or The SugarDope Strikes Back or The Wrath of Sugardope or… [make up your own]).

Yep, it’s this time of year once again, when the snow is falling, the birds are singing, drivers are cursing wait… that happens all year round… Never mind, maples are getting ready to flow and Dopers are getting ready to satisfy their sweet tooth. This year I offer the date of Saturday the 17[sup]th[/sup] of March (why not kill two birds with one stone ? St Paddy’s day and sugaring off) for this yearly celebration of the end of winter. All are invited. Who’s interested ?

2

I’m in, and that date works wonderfully for me! :slight_smile:

Ever since SugarDope I, I’ve been craving another all-pork/egg/maple meal.

3

I’m pretty sure I can make it. I can ask for the day off now and I should be golden.

4

It is possible I’ll be in Montreal then! I can’t guarantee I won’t have other commitments since I’m only in for a week, but we’ll see.

5

Just because this occured in an evening, I’m going to bump it for the morning/daytime folks.

Also, I’ll post this to my live journal for some of those lapsed SDMB members who might be interested.

And, to spike this for previous Montreal-dope attendants (and dope-thread participants) who might vanity search (limited to those who are still members):

scott evil, JeffB, kung fu lola, clayton_e, CuriousCanuck, matt_mcl, saramamalana, Sunspace, KeithT

It was kind of sad, hunting for names, to see who’s now left the Dope for other pastures.

6

Yay! I’ll mark it off. I’ve missed you guys!

7

I’ll be there… Miss you guys too.

8

Darn. I’ll be in Las Vegas that weekend.

9

It’s possible that some girlfriends and I were planning a trip there around that time. I’ll have to look into it.

10

Sure, why the heck not? Count me in.
You’ll get to meet the new-and-improved single me! I am a lot nicer now that I have ditched my sad-sack ex-gf.

11

Wow ! It seems people missed this event. Keep’em coming !

12

Perhaps I will make my first journey to La Belle Province for this. Not sure, but I’d sure like to.

13

Also, I’ll be draging my girlfriend along with me :slight_smile:

14

Also . . . any thoughts about plans for events in the evening, or the morning after/evening before? I’m trying to get my work schedule figured out, and I don’t know if I should try to be up there Friday night for anything, or plan to stay through Sunday afternoon.

15

Yes, there should be a supper on Friday evening followed by whatever the people feel like doing (open to suggestions) as well as another meal on Saturday evening followed by entertainement (might be a little bit more difficult since it will be St Paddy’s week-end) and if people are up to it, a brunch on Sunday morning. I’m still waiting a week or so before staring to make the reservations so as to give the chance to a maximum of people to announce their intentions.

16

Just checking in to make sure this doesn’t have anything to do with the Body Sugar thread… because I don’t think I’d want to go to that party…

17

I will try to make it, although I do work weekends. I may be able to sneak away for an hour or two on Saturday.

And if Ginger appears, I definitely have to show, if only because she’s already attended dopefests in two other cities where I was living, and we need the trifecta!

18

I’m keeping my fingers crossed. But, you probably won’t recognize me.

19

It looks like I’m going to be either on a course or preparing for a course that weekend, so I’ll have to bow out for this meeting.

20

bump

I’ve been away for a week and just catching up on stuff.

There is no way I can possibly plan this far ahead (March!!! I can’t even commit to anything for this weekend!) but I’ll keep it in mind and try and make it if I can. I’d love to meet some Montreal Dopers now that I live here too. And I soooo want to go sugaring off… I haven’t done it in so long!
