This is your chance to tell me where to go!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

So.

Many of you now know that I’m getting divorced. No pity required, it’s a good thing for all concerned. Overdue, really.

But anyway, I’ve decided that once I move out of the house, and into an apartment, I’m going to take a trip. Can’t decide where to go, though.

The kicker is: I’m coming to hang out with you. Yup. Got nothing else to do :slight_smile: So, state your case, tell me why I should come out to your neck of the woods. Tell me what kind of interesting activities you can recommend.

I’m bored, and got the wanderlust, baby!

Manservant Cynical, newly divorced, turned loose in Chicago…

Systems…overloading…can’t…handle…this…much…fun…

God damn! I second Magdalene. Chicago is the place for you my man. After learning about shots you can do that set your mouth on fire, I’m raring to go out and get stupid.

come on baby!

Even though I’m not there, you should go to Chicago. You’d have so much fun!

5

Houston, Texas. Mainly cuz it has a high concentration of titty bars, gentlemen’s clubs, and all-around cool people.

[sub]and no, I won’t be going with you[/sub]

But Robyn, I don’t like going to strip clubs! As far as I’m concerned, it’s just one woman after another that I can’t get my hands on :smiley:

Chicago 3, Houston 1.

You can put your hands on me, Hecubus…the rule is they have to stay on the SURFACE of the body :smiley:

Define “surface” :smiley:

I would say the Northern Tier is right out. Ask Robyn, she’ll tell ya North Dakota is not worth the effort.

Tripler
But you can come pick up your T-shirt. It came in yesterday.

Well, there’s the ChiDope, where you’ll not only get to meet your favorite Chicago Dopers, but a few Dopers from other states too.

Then there’s the Halloween DopeFest hosted by thinksnow in Columbus, OH, which promises to be a /Ed Sullivan/ “Really, really big shoe” /Ed/. I mean, we have a Catholic School Girl, a Sleazy Nun, a mermaid, not to mention the potential for a Queen of the Underworld. I mean, what more could you ask for?

Hmmmmm, decisions, decisions.

11

Actually, Chidope sounds like a possibility, if I can unload my house in time!

12

Awesome!

13

I swear, I think Bunny just drops my name in threads to get me to check them out.

MrCy…uh, Manservant, if you even think you might possibly be able to get to either Fest, you should do it. Chi-town is a blast and though I’m biased, Columbus, and the party that is going to occur there, is going to be the stuff of legends. :smiley:

Otherwise, if you’re looking for a “just-passing-through” kinda thing, the options are limited only by your ability to travel.
[sub]But without going over the mountains, Chicago is still probably your biggest bang for the buck, Doper-wise.[/sub]

Chicago, MrC, definitely Chicago.

15

Another vote for Chicago-
If you can make it before June 5th… this sounds like fun (hmmm… Coed Prison Sluts) and make sure you hit a museum or two.
Also, when you arrive be assured that you can bring your own bottle of Thunderbird to these fine restaurants- Top Ten BYOB restaurants. :slight_smile:

Ohhh… and Chicago dopefests (from what I’ve read) involve binge drinking and general debachery.
(That was the real reason I voted for it)

16

Please stay away from my family and me.

17

I heard New York City is nice…

I’m sure we could set up a Dopefest. :wink:

Rose

HELL!!

I’d say L.A. where I am at, but everyone seems to hate it. [sub]I don’t mind.[/sub]

19

YOU GO TO TORONTO! YOU GO TO TORONTO AND YOU DIE!

There’s not much to do in Canada, really. But I know you want to see if I can beat you in a beer drinking competition. I KNOW you do. :smiley: And not that pansy ass American beer, either.

Come hang out in Alberta. Chock fulla redneck-y fun!
