Welcome Mississippienne to Baltimore Dopefest

Why, what is this, a minor critique of my post? Prepare yourself for a flame war!

::Actually stops and thinks for a second. Then, acts abashed.::

Sorry, it’s easy to assume that people do not read posts, when there is no sign of having done so, however, judging from your posts in other threads, I should have know better. I’ll be good now., I should have know better. Sorry for overreacting, in reminding people of my post, I’ll be good now.

::Slinks off, with an ashamed look on his face.::

av8rmike, gobear, UrbanChic, moi, etc…we’d sure all love to see you. Any idea if you’re coming?

Adam

av8rmike emailed to let me know he’s coming. I haven’t heard back from moi (and tdc) or gobear, and I don’t have the others’ email addresses.

I’ve been thinking about it and thinking about it, and I think I’m in! My very first Dopefest! :cool: I have to be up (and in VA) early Sunday morning, so a Saturday afternoon thing works well for me.

I’ll be honest: I’m a little intimidated by the idea of going to someone’s home – and meeting so many Dopers – when I haven’t been at the SDMB for very long. But I’m a social type, and I think I’ll be sticking around here for a while, so I may as well jump in! I’ll be the new chick nursing a Sam Adams: just wave and give me encouraging smiles every now and then, and I’ll be fine. :wink:

(Can’t I make everyone wear nice big nametags? Pretty please??)

Ginger, I’ll e-mail you shortly about directions; I’ll be coming from elsewhere in MD. :slight_smile:

I received your email. When it’s closer to the day, I will ask everyone who wants directions to email me, and I’ll send them out.

I’m in!

I’ll volunteer to drive the Va bozos in my bus. I live in Springfield now and can pick up folks who don’t have wheels at the Springfield Metro station.

GAH! I am doomed to never come to another DopeFest, it seems…

I have a good excuse though - I will be in a hot tub in New Orleans, drinking hurricanes and deciding what kind of “shirt” to have airbrushed on.

:smiley:

Thanks, but I’m just not sure yet. Saturdays are usually very busy for me. The kids have so many activities on the weekends. Plus I work super hard during the week so I don’t have to work on weekends. I try to spend as much time as I can with my boys on Saturdays and Sundays since Mom’s essentially MIA during the week.

I’ve never been to a 'Fest, though. I’ll give the invite some serious consideration. By when do you need to know if I’m coming or not?

:eek: Well, I must have been on crack when I did that… I should have known that that’s the day of the Hänsel & Gretel performances in Howard County. And unfortunately, it’s not like I can go to the party early and then leave; there are two shows that day, at 2:30 and 7:30. :smack: Sorry, all.

I’m in.

Crackhead. Sorry you won’t be there. You’re my favourite doper I’m not married to.

I’ll attend. I probably won’t arrive before three, though.

Let me know what you want me to bring. I make a killer applesauce cake topped off with homemade caramel icing. It’s wonderful. I can bring that and whatever else you’d like me to bring.

Now that sounds like crack. Please bring it even though av8rmike won’t be there. :smiley:

Request granted. The recipe I use is for a single-layer cake. It’s moist and a bit dense, so it should suffice. The caramel is a brown-sugar caramel. It’s goood.

Damn, I’d been thinking “do I really want to drive to Baltimore for this,” but the cake is calling to me. :smiley:

Drive to Baltimore! Drive to Baltimore! You’re one of several Dopers I’ve always thought that I’d like to meet someday. :slight_smile:
(Hmm, hopefully that didn’t sound at all stalker-ish…)

I’m a possible “yay.” (Thanks for the shout-out, Agent Foxtrot.)

I’ll keep in touch via e-mail with Ginger re: my status, as I don’t know what my work schedule is for May yet. Also, I’ll need to figure out what I’m doing about getting to Dundalk since tdc works Saturdays; if anyone’s heading to Ginger’s from Charles Village or has advice about catchin’ a bus to that area, send an e-mail my way.

Look forward to seeing y’all! :slight_smile:

You know, you, I mean moi, it would help if we knew what neighborhood you lived in. Personally, I am planning to see if I can get clear schedual that weekend, and see if a friend can give me a lift, but I know busses do go down there,

Damnit, I thought I could be there, but it looks like I’ll be tooling around the southwest that weekend. Iris and I haven’t been out there before and we’ve already got our travel tickets.

Yeah - when’s the point of now return? Is a week before cutting it too close?
