Torquay, where the palm trees grow and old grannies come to vacation, apparently 😉

It was actually only for a few months that I lived there, but I quite liked it, even had a fave pub. “Horseman’s Arms” it was called , real hard place, lots of messed up scotsmen. Ach… those were the days!

When I get over this whole “living in China” thing, I’ll probably be back for a Dopefest or two (never been to one, not many of 'em here in China…). Untill then, I’m gonna try to raise money so I can go to the upcoming Amsterdam Weedfes… eh… Dopefest 😉

Sorry to be dragging up old threads, but the London drinks may be back on courtesy of **ruadh** …

Live and work in London, having been here for about 12 years. Before that? Oh… Manchester, Sheffield, Leicester, Swindon (hell on earth) and finally The Smoke.

What would be a working definition of “a Dopefest”?
