Sure, hold a Dopefest in my area on the one weekend this year when I’ll be out of the freakin’ _country!_ (sure, it’s only Canada, but still…) ---

Maybe someone could print out my picture so that I can _kinda_ be there… then if you hold that picture at the right distance from the camera, the perspective will make it look like Im actually there with you guys ☹ Hope you all have fun!!! Raise Hell in Tampa for me. Say hi to the Blueslings for me!!! Oh, and hopefully everyone will be recharged by February, because I’ll be back home then and I think a Welcome Back to America Dopefest would be kick ass. ---

If so, we could totally do that for you. How about a Valentine’s themed WBtA-dope? Everybody get piss drunk and bitch about heartache?

Getting wasted on V-Day would be awesome. In fact, I’m probably already going to be doing that already. But I won’t be back in Tampa yet. Not until the end of Feb, like the 23rd. I lived in Tampa forever, but right now I am stationed in Korea so I haven’t been around for about 8 months. ---

Sorry to everyone whose emails I missed. I got you in there, **666** , and I thought I mass mailed everyone that I emailed before. **Hypno-Toad** , the directions are in the OP. We’ll settle on one pavilion as it gets closer. **bambi**! How did I miss you? Remember everyone. NEXT SATURDAY! WOOHOO!! -foxy ---

**ladyfoxfyre ShibbOleth Lucretia/Bluesman /Blueskids joemama24\_98** probably **Amp** if and when I get a hold of him. **BrainGlutton Flander Louis B Bambi Hassenpfeffer 666 Hypno-Toad** I’m talking to **Bear\_Nenno** about the possibility of a get-together in February after he gets back home. I guess nobody had any frequent flier miles. I’ll be sending him a palm tree pretty soon here, ooh! I just had a wonderful idea. My god. It is brilliant. Searching the old thread…I find that: **Kuizelemartz** doesn’t have an email listed. Maybe a vanity search will lead her here. **WOOKINPANUB** has been emailed. **pestie** will be emailed promptly. If anyone else is interested they would be well advised to drop a line here. Saturday, October 15th. Fort DeSoto, 11:00 am? -foxy ---

I have offered (via email) to bring green chili. For those of you who haven’t ever had good mexican food, it’s delicious, trust me. -foxy ---

It’s totally gone. You can check the parks and rec website, it shows DeSoto as haing minimal traces, or none, I can’t remember which. -foxy ---
