**Mr. Bus Guy** is in town touristing, and we’ll be getting together tomorrow night at the Red Garter Saloon (my favorite because it’s around the corner from my house!) at Speedway and Country Club (between the Circle K and the credit union) at 7:00. All are welcome! Sorry for the short notice! ---

[QUOTE=Mr Bus Guy] Hey!!! I’ll go! [/QUOTE] Oh, good! Because that will be so much better than sitting there by myself! But at least I’d win at pool. See you then! ---

I am happy to report that the Short Notice Mini-Dopefest Tucson 2008 was a resounding success. As always a pleasure chatting with **Mr. Bus Guy** , his wife, and The Kid. They’re very pleasant people. I laughed, a lot, and that’s always nice. I am not so happy to report that living newly within walking distance to your favorite bar can lead one to drink more than one is used to, at least on a Monday night. Ah, live and learn. Thanks for molding to my schedule (very appreciated), **Mr. Bus Guy** , thanks for the drinks, and happy touristing to all of you! And, oh yeah, sorry for running out last-minute, but I needed to take that call. It’s been _a while_. ---

Well, Shit. I’m just now seeing this thread. At 10pm on Monday. Sorry to have missed Y’all. I remember a certain Tusconian Trublmaker at the last but one Phoenix Dopefest who was a gas to chat with, and it’s always good to meet another Doper IRL. My next Dopefest is likely to be one of the LA ones. ---

Yes - it was as expected, a great time! No worries about taking that call, answering a basic need is well understood!
