I’ve only met one Doper so far, and **reprise** hasn’t been game to come back the boards since! 😃 Given that the Sydney Dopers are such a slack bunch, I got to thinking that it’s time a satellite hook-up WorldDope is organised. Simultaneous Dopefests on every continent… ---

Definitely Ugly. We’ll have to get something planned soon! I missed you (and Andros?) last time. ---

> [@](#): > > …I get finish my tours of… Did I tell you I’ll be touring Iceland as well? I’m practicing for my conversations with **bj0rn**. Seriously though, I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate those of you who have picked me up and/or dropped me off at the airport during my various travels. (Extra props to those of you who have braved the Hell that is Detroit-Wayne County Airport, **UncleBeer** and **BunnyGirl**.) I’ve always had real-life friendships develop at these gatherings, which is why I’m always trying to get together with people on this board and why I always look forward to more gatherings. The backlash is that I don’t get to see you all nearly as much as I would like to. ---

Yeah, well, if I hadn’t followed DTW’s fucked up parking signs and gone with my instincts, you wouldn’t have received the fabulous parking garage tour. And the police escort out on I-94 was kinda special, too. I still have no idea what the hell all those cops were doin’ there. ---

Regarding the police, this _is_ Detroit we’re talking about. Isn’t the scene you witnessed just a typical occurence there? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yah-i-met-a-doper-last-night/76903.md?page=1)
