I just found this thread, not having been on here for a few weeks. Darn. I sure wish I could make it to this one. I’ve missed you guys, **Ayesha** , Revedge\*\*, **Ringo** , et al. And I still haven’t been able to meet **Little Nemo**. I see some new names also; more nice folks to meet. And I’m stuck over here in San Antone. Dagnabit. ☹ Have a great time, everyone! And drink a margarita for me, please, someone. Or a rum and coke, or an amaretto on the rocks… whatever… 😃 {{{all Houston dopefest attendees}}} ---

I’ll see you, **Little Nemo**! I’m coming straight from my birthday party to Dopefest, and I’ve been craving crab balls slathered with cocktail sauce. ---

It’ll be a pleasant Sunday afternoon. Crab Legs! Yes! ---

I’m all giddy with excitement. Oh and **cbawlmer** , “crab balls slathered with cocktail sauce” sounds like something that would happen to a crotchety old man in a gay bathhouse. :eek: ---

Hmmm…, I’ll worry if the crab legs appear in stiletto heels. ---

Man. Saturday, Dec 11th would have been the only day I could have done it, but it’s out of even the OP’s range. I’m going to have to start hunting down the HouDope threads earlier. ---

WOOT! We’re back a day early. I’ll be there after all. SWMBO may come with me; she’s not sure yet. See y’all at 4:00 at The Shack! ---

Well, the title of this thread is: "Time for another Houston Dopefest **(or two)**? " Soooo, who’s to say we can’t have “HouDopeFest 2004[SUB]TM[/SUB] Part Deux: Rumble on the Bayou,” on the 11th of December? Would anyone besides **chaoticdonkey** and me be interested? ---

The 11th! (exclamation points!) Oh, holy Jesus! I just realized that Houston isn’t Dallas! (Thanks, mapquest!) I’m willing to drive 4 hours to a DopeFest, but 8, Jesus! I hereby rescind my RSVPing to a HoudopeFest that didn’t yet exist. (Everyone gets Houston and Dallas confused, right? _grumble grumble_) ---

Due to unforseen unforseeables, I will be unable to make it to the thingy tomorrow evening. If there is indeed going to be a thingy on the 11th, I stand a better chance of attending. ---

Well. we’ve got plenty of time to kick the 11th around. Hmmm…, haven’t heard from **Ayesha** in a bit. I don’t think I’ve mentioned yet that y’all should look for us on the deck, as things at Joe’s get pretty silly indoors. See y’all tomorrow! ---

5 1/2 hours to go, but who’s counting? I see that the Weather Weenies are not predicting rain today. But come to think of it, they weren’t predicting rain the last time, were they? :rolleyes: ---
