Nobody’s mentioned the future Dopefests yet. Wonder why. . . **The 2022 International/Interplanetary Dopefest, H-K City, Luna** _Friday, 8 July, 2022_ Tour of the Lunar Museum, followed up by the Apollo 11 historical landing site. Bring your own p-suits, kids are welcome. _Saturday, 9 July, 2022_ Polar-orbital trip over the Earth, followed up with low-G shenanigans at the Lunar Cafe, Tycho City. Kids prolly won’t be welcome. Don’t ask. 😃 Tripler Yeah, I just finished the book. Sue me. . . ---
