Wee! I get to use my 700th post to say **stofsky** , we will definitely have to do happy hour. Man, I just love the concept of a DopeFest! ---

Alright. The Last Bump. \ So, tomorrow night, 7PM, Mellow Mushroom. You canā€™t miss me. Iā€™ll have on a light olive green t-shirt that says ā€œgiantā€ and has a picture of Andre the Giant on it, and cut-off jean shorts. Oh, and the aforementioned ā€œCarrie Bradshawā€ hair-do, but with reddish-brown hair. If I am not standing outside MM at 7, itā€™s because itā€™s too frickinā€™ hot. I will be up at the bar. Probably with a pitcher, as Dave Brown is the best bartender in Charleston, outside of ACā€™s. šŸ˜ƒ ---

(delurkingā€¦) Actually, Iā€™d be interested in coming -always kindaā€™ wanted to go to a Dopefest -not a good weekend for me though. Perhaps itā€™s a sign Iā€™m getting older, but Iā€™m not as able to do things spur-of-the-moment the way I used to. And I donā€™t even have kids yet! Perhaps yā€™all will do it again soon?

Wanna throw in while Iā€™m taking a break from packing that I hope yā€™all are having a ball. After I get back and work through the maze that is Med. College of GA, I will certainly need three-or-four-ty beers when I have to deal with MUSC, Roper, etc. If someone sees this before the Chuckfest, drink a Makerā€™s Mark for me, since Iā€™m going to be taking a couple of Tylenol PMs and crashing by 9. (Donā€™t feel too sorry for me, though; last time I ate out with my boss, whoā€™ll be at the training session, she spent over a grand to buy drinks and dinner for the region. The time before was just the two of us, and the tab was over $100. I imagine Iā€™ll get my fill of good booze and Maryland Crabcakes.) (No, do feel sorry for me. Iā€™ll have to be on my best behavior, and Iā€™m not always good at that :)) ---

Whee! A sucessful DopeFest, I think! Iā€™m still attempting to recover from last night, but I did want to drop in and say that **Becky** and **Slainte** showed up, and we had a pretty good time. Weā€™ll definitely have to do this again. Well, when it gets closer to the 16th, weā€™ll plan **ChuckDope 3: Insert Silly Name Here**! And **mcms\_cricket** , hopefully youā€™ll be able to join us then. ---

Yep, it was a good time. šŸ™‚ I look forward to meeting **stofsky** , **Mrs stofsky** , **mcms\_cricket** , and any other lurker that may care to join us. ---

Oh Holy Cow. I JUST NOW found this thread. Since itā€™s now approx. the 26th, and the Chuchfest apparently took place on the 24th, am I correct in believing that I missed it? Drat. This is what happens when youā€™re lazy. I need to go back to doing vanity searches, because you just never know when something more exciting than the rental of _A Beautiful Mind_ may be brewing on a Saturday night. :rolleyes: Drat. Iā€™m glad to hear that a good time was had, though. Next time! ---

Ooooh! I just missed this thread too. Darn! I live in the Upstate but am planning another trip down to Charleston sometime. (sans kids and husbandā€“Whoohoo!) Maybe my next trip will conveniently coincide with the next Doperā€™s meet. Hmmā€¦ šŸ˜ƒ ---

You too, **Greywolf73**! **stofsky** , **mcms\_cricket** , and you should all ride together. And maybe once yā€™all come down here, we Charleston Dopers might make our way up to Columbia for a Dopefest (if you get one organized). ---

No location as of yet for the 16thā€¦ **skerri** , where are ya? šŸ™‚ ---

Checking inā€¦ I dunno. Anyone got suggestions? Iā€™m up for just about anything. Well, except Level 2. You will **never** find me in there. Period. šŸ˜ƒ Me, Iā€™m always partial to Mellow Mushroom or ACā€™s. I mean, there are a bunch of places in Charleston to go to, but Iā€™m also partial to the words ā€œcheap happy hourā€. šŸ˜‰ Oh, and just for the record, the 16th is a Monday. Are any of us ā€œMonday Night Footballā€ people? Because (donā€™t laugh) generally I spend my Mondays at Georgeā€™s Sports Bar watching wrestling with my friendsā€™ band. (And some of the guys from 96 Wave.) They have like 30 tvs, and 96 Wave is there giving out prizes. So, whatever you wanna do. Iā€™m pretty much open. ---

Ugh, a resounding **No** to Level 2 from me also šŸ™‚ I like the idea of **Mellow Mushroom** again (possibly followed by a visit to ACā€™s). Mellow Mushroom works nicely because it has food & beer (for those Dopers who may not partake in the sudsy refreshments). Itā€™d be easier to talk to the Out-of-Town Dopers in this environment as opposed to trying to talk during wrestlingā€¦ and **stofsky** said the week of the 16th, I missed that the first go around. ---

Yeah, Georgeā€™s was just a suggestion. Besides, I think if poor **stofsky** flies in/drives in on Monday, the last thing heā€™s going to want to do is go there. šŸ˜‰ ACā€™s actually serves food, too, after 6PM. They have the **BEST** cheeseburger ever. And if we go to ACā€™s around 6 or 7, there wonā€™t really be anyone there. But, it might be easier to get Mellow Mushroom to put some tables together for us, as opposed to sitting in the booths at ACā€™s. So, where ever you guys want to go is fine with me. šŸ˜ƒ Skerri, the indecisive oneā€¦ ---

**skerri** dahlinā€™, I meant no offense to Georgeā€™s or your suggesting it (just in case it came across as such). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/south-carolina-dopers-the-return-of-chuckdope/124019.md?page=1)
