We had one about this time last year. A few of us had lunch was all though. None of the wild parties the other cities get.

Strangely, though we just had lunch, I somehow managed to not get myself invited to any further gatherings.

I hope I don’t smell bad.

It’s nothing to shout about. :o

There was actually a “Fest” back in January! Granted, it was just me, **lel** and **GIGObuster** hanging out in a Quiznos in Tempe, but we had a thread about it and everything!

I guess I got lucky to be in town for it, huh?

Playboy, I lived in Yuma for a few months once. My condolences.

Maybe the reason we don’t have huge drunken Dopefests is cuz we’re all spread out. I wouldn’t mind having one in San Diego though… any excuse to go to San Diego!!

Well, **trublmakr** , we have a pretty good crew here in San Diego that I enjoy hanging out with on occasion. You’re always welcome to visit! (and I think that you should be required to bring **Dr. Love** with you. I don’t know who this person is, but with a name like that, I’m willing to take my chances… 😉 )

Mesan here too.

And who wouldn’t go out in the heat? What a chance to get all sweaty in public! It’s illegal to do so in other ways.

\<As a matter of fact my brain is fired. That’s because its a dry heat. Like a blow torch.\>

Funny, I almost said that my body exists in Yuma but my mind dwells in San Diego. 🙂

Phoenician here. More specifically, an Ahwatukeean.

I’d be down for a 'Fest some time, assuming I’m not wrist-deep in Chastain Junior’s dook. She’ll be here sometime in the next 3 weeks. 🙂

Goddamn hamsters, I thought I posted here already.

It has been too long since we had a Phoenix 'fest, time for another one. Maybe a nice air conditioned coffee bar. I talked to Mauvaise recently and I know Strainger has been posting so I’ll let them know if they don’t post here.

TheLadyLion and I will be in Tucson Memorial day weekend and the weekend after if you Tucson folks want to get together. Should be free pretty much any time except the 29th.

I’ll just throw this out there, but my wife and I have a home out there (Ahwatukee/Chandler area…) and we’d love to host a fest…something I was thinking about is why not have it out at canyon lake We have a boat out there in the summer and would love to host a fest…the boat holds around a dozen people comfortably…anymore and it starts to get crampted…We are currently in CT but will be in AZ in a few weeks…Heck I’ve never been to a fest…

I’m up for a meeting any time any where in Arizona.

Anyone else?

Me too.  
Phoenix or Tucson? Or maybe in the middle, Casa Grande?  
It pretty much has to be on a weekend, for me to go. What about the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, the 29th? Or is that too soon?
