Ok, I think the thread title is self-explanitary. Who’s up for a DopeFest in St. Louis at the end of the month? I’m off work Oct 26-28. Maybe a Halloween party or something?
I can put up one, maybe two people at my place if you come in from out of town and need a place to stay. Three people if someone brings an air matress.
Email me or respond to the thread so we can make some plans.
Ya know, I am starting to feel major amounts of jealousy. First, hardygrrl gets to meet UncleBill (and the other way around). Now she gets to meet Crunchy.
What does it take for a girl (a broke girl) to meet you people??!!! sigh One of these days. One of these days…
On to the OP…
Ron, you know I’ll be there in spirit, since I don’t have the cash to be there in person. So have lots of spirits for me?
Hmmm… I don’t know what my work schedule will be next month, but I’m up for 2 DopeFests in 2 months. Maybe if people can’t make the October one, we can entice them to make the November one with the added lure of meeting you and Norman.
Yeah, but katiekilldare was just the added bonus when we had Sara-Dope! It wasn’t an intentional “Wow, I get to meet katiekilldare!” as much it was a “Wow, I just met katiekilldare! And I’m leaving Florida why???”
UncleBill was intentional… on both of our parts. So he cancels himself out. Now, Crunchy, on the other hand… Crunchy I’ve been trying to get to come meet me for months and months and months, to no avail. (Well, maybe to some avail, if he makes it to the Mega-Dopefest) But it still means that you’ve gotten to meet him first!
So, damn it, I’ve got a right to be jealous!
[sub]You realize we’re feeding his ego with this. Why are we feeding his ego with this?![/sub]
We’re also losing Juniper to OhDope also. Maybe we can get more at LouDope if some of the people going to OhDope can make it here. Since the OhDope’s been in planning longer, I’d think that has dibs.
Let’s push this one off to November, since we already know Shayna and Spiny Norman we’ll be in town then and maybe they could stop by for a bit.
I’ll check into when people will be available and talk to my supervisor to make sure I get the necessary days off. I’ll open a new thread when I get more info. In the meantime, I’ll ask a mod to close this off so as not to cause confusion.
I just wanna say that I didn’t mean for you guys to postpone your gathering on our account. However, we’d love to meet the St. Louis Dopers if you decide to have a Dopefest over the Thanksgiving weekend, which is when we’ll be in town.
