I am! ::raises hand:: I haven’t seen half of you guys for half as long as I would have liked, and I haven’t seen the other half of you guys for much too long. Just kidding. I miss all of you! How does Saturday October 18th sound to all and sundry? Food suggestions? I’m down for sushi or Turkish again. ---

And you haven’t seen me at all. I’m in- and very glad somebody else is going to handle this one. It was almost a disaster last time, thanks to me. ---

Strangely enough, October 18th actually works for me and I’m not working. (This is a rare enough occurrence.) If homework isn’t too crazy, I’d be down for another dopefest. Does it have to be in Winter Park? Or can we do it elsewhere? [sub]I promise I won’t suggest Kissimmee unless you guys want to go to Three Sisters Speakeasy.[/sub] ---

I’m down for anywhere in Orange or Seminole counties. ---

There’s [a really cool Oktoberfest](http://www.worldofbeerusa.com/wobtoberfest/index.html)going on, practically in my backyard, that weekend. Plus potentially Game 6 of the ALCS (Go Rays!). So I don’t think I’ll make it to Orlando. Feel free to swing down to Tampa though. ---

Well, you’re not to blame for the rain, and the pizza place was good, and I learned Publix owns Crispers and \*\*Hypno-Toad \*\*is an excellent minature painter. Plus that was the night that Ivylad noticed my jeans were getting baggy. 😃 Let me know where and when and I’ll see what I can do. No sushi, though, if I get a vote. Not a fan. ---

I could do it again, too! Closer to my condo would be preferable so I can drink but I didn’t mind the walk too bad the last time 🙂 ---

Well, anyone got any restaurant ideas? I know tons in the WP area, but not so many outside of that. ---

I agree with this, and add a request that the only beers on tap should include something other than the standard Bud Light. I only drink that when I’m cheap _and_ desperate. 😉 ---

So, restaurant suggestions? If nobody has one, I’m going with Bosphorus again. But, I’d really like to try something new. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-up-for-an-orlando-dope-fest/466739.md?page=2)
