So, we’re looking at least at Saturday the 27th at Joe’s Crab Shack? ---

The 27th is my birthday, so I’m not sure if I’d be free to go that day. What about that Sunday, the 28th? ---

Hmm…, OK, group rethink. What’ll it be? ---

I will be watching this thread and if my schedule allows I will be there (+$50.00 oil makes Unclviny a busy boy). BTW **RINGO** is a poopy-head (I just feel the need to start something). Unclviny ---

I’m always hesitant to post to these because my ability to attend is always in doubt until the very last minute and, even then, unlikely because of family demands. Still, if there’s a way, I’ll be there. The one I was able to attend I enjoyed with… shall we say “great immensity.” ---

Poopy-head? _Poopy_-head? Well, only in the case of very old poop. Very, _v-e-rry_ old poop. Grease head would be more like it. Just pumpin’ this thing. ---

I’m in the midst of a move (okay actually at the moment I’m in the midst of procrastinating) so I may be offline for part of this week. But Saturday the 27th works for me. Sunday the 28th does as well if that’s what people decide on. ---

If I’m not in Nawluns on the 27th, I’ll be there. Do we have a time established? If not, I suggest late afternoon, around 4:00 or so. ---

4:00 sounds fine with me. ---

Sounds good to me too, I’ll even be good and not bring Polly. I still haven’t forgotten what happened last time. I’ve just now gotten her to quit smoking and we’re working on the booze thing now. ---

I’m a little slow on the draw, but I would definitely be interested in attending and meeting some fellow Dopers. This would be my first Dopefest. What sorts of things are on the agenda (other than cussin’ and discussin’)? Just my two cents, but I vote for Sunday the 28th. I look forward to possibly meeting everyone. 🙂 ---

Ok, so what have we decided? Crabshack on Richmond, Sunday the 28th at 4PM? ---

Okay, I was offline a little longer than intended; in the midst of the above-mentioned move, my computer was stolen. But I’m back now and this thread is due for another bump. ---

Well, you guys hoist one for me. I bought the plane ticket today, so I will definitely be in Nawluns that weekend. I’ll see ya at the next HouDope. ---

OK, unless I get confirmation from other HouDopes, I guess I’ll stand for both the 27th and the 28th at Joe’s.
