**fenrir** , newbies are welcomed and encouraged. I went to my first ChiDopes last month, and don’t regret it in the least.
Well, except for that one part, but don’t worry. It only hurts for a day. Or so. 😃

**fenrir** , newbies are most definitely welcome, but we cannot tell you what goes on at DopeFests. It must be experienced. 😉 I went to my first last October, didn’t know anyone IRL before I went, and had a great time.
**Gundy** , there’s no need to be frightened…yet. :evil grin:
**shay** , Spiffled is a DopeFest in Springfield, IL. [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=52964) is the thread **Flyp** started.

should I wear my black rubber mini-dress and collar or do you supply the necessary equipment?
I’ll only go if I can be on the bottom

**shay** , the day will be based on when the most number of people can come. That’s part of the reason we keep bumping this thread. Other than the vague late February, early March, nothing specific has been decided yet. I, of course, am hoping for February 17th or March 10, cause all my other Saturdays are already booked. ☹

I prefer February, I might be going to Berlin in March, but I don’t know the date yet. I think Feb would be fun because it’s so dismal and ugly a month.
but that’s just like, my opinion, man.

Do you REMEMBER the time you had, or did you have to rely on eyewitness reports?

Kindly leave my big ass out of the discussion.
FWIW, any date is as good as any other for me.

Gee, if this image doesn’t boost attendance, I don’t know what will.

**drop** , I remember everything, including frightening people with a giant blue vibrator. 😉
**jarbabyj** , BDSM equipment is not provided by the SDMB party planning committee; please bring your own collar, or hook up with another doper who already has the equipment you like.

Hmm…so before the chi-dope we should have a sort of ‘stroll’ line with doms on one side and subs on the other, and we’ll just pair up before we go in.
i think I’ll tell my husband I’m just at a meeting “for work”.

Damn, **porky/tiggeril**. All that bumping you’re doing is making it hard to concentrate on work. (heh-heh. He said hard!)
**shay** , tho you pointed out your misreading, you didn’t specify your (ahem) preferred position on the orgy.
Any date is as good as any other for me to poop out. (Every party needs a pooper!) As usual, I prefer to live vicariously through those of you who have lives (not to mention rubber minidresses.)
