The next Philly Doper Dinner will be at Fez, 620 South 2nd Street. We’ve been having some nicely attended dinners in the suburbs, so it’s time we came back into the city.
Moroccan food is exotically good, and Fez has belly dancers on Friday and Saturday nights. Which are also good nights to draw the out-of-town crowd.
I suggest we go on November 5 or 6. That’ll be after the New York Mega DopeFest and all the Halloween parties.
Oh lord.
Will you guys at least attempt to act like mature adults?
I’ll come – just don’t embarrass me, 'kay?
At this point, I have no preference between Friday and Saturday – but I think the last time we discussed this, Friday seemed more apt to get both the weekday preferrers and the weekend preferrers.

I think I’m gonna bring a non-Doper pal – if there’s a dinner to bring him to.
C’mon, gang – belly-dancers!
So – any chance this is actually going to happen? I’m starting to think about my plans for the weekend. davidm? cleophus?
Friday or Saturday?
I’m up for it, so long as it’s after 6pm or so.
Friday is a no-go. Saturday please.
Okay, how’s Saturday at 7?
Okay – looks like I might be bringing two people – InDisGuize, who’s a mostly a lurker hereabouts, and another friend of mine who I can’t even persuade to lurk. Both definitely Doper material though!
This Saturday @ 7:00 P.M. looks good to me. How long do we have to belly dance, and can I borrow a costume, mine’s at the cleaners.

Yay! I’m glad you can come! Who else is in?
I’ll be there of course.

Guiltguy?!?!? Hey, I understand I’m no Anna Nicole, but gees,I’m not THAT uncomfortable with how I look!!! 
That’s how disturbing that image was to me – it totally short-circuited my spelling abilities.
Quilt – guilt – whatever.
We’ve got six people for tomorrow night’s Dopefest. Anybody else want to join in?
I swapped a couple of emails with davidm the other day, and he wasn’t sure whether he’d be in the mood or not – if you’re worried about being the only person there feeling bummed about the week’s events, don’t be – I can vouch for my entire posse.
One member of said posse thought he might be a trifle late – I told him to ask for the Cecil Adams party if he is. Speaking of which – do we need a reservation? Will you take care of that, if so, Scuba_Ben?
If DavidM shows up, that makes us seven people. I’ll call in the reservation this evening, for 7 PM tomorrow. It will be under the name “Cecil Adams,” as is usual for Dopefests.
I checked the Fez web site to verify details, and found this important piece of information:
I’ll call them and check about a 7:00 time, but please watch this thread for updates!
I just called the restaurant. They were pretty insistent about their 6 PM seating time, but I talked them into 6:30. I made the reservation for 7 people.
According to the web site, it’s a prix fixe menu, much like the other Moroccan restaurants I’ve been to in the area. That means seven or eight courses of delicious food, plus the dancing girls. Please arrive on time, and ask for the Cecil Adams party; you don’t want to miss the salad course or the chicken pastry course.
Please bring cameras!
Good work, Ben! Thanks – see you tomorrow night at 6:30.
