SoCal Dopefest?
Anybody want to organize one? It's been forever. I'm not even mildly volunteering, but I'd spread the word.

What, exactly, is involved in organizing? Not that I'm volunteering, mind you.

Sounds complicated, but I can tell you I've been at least partially responsible for organizing a couple of 'fests, and all of the LA-area folks are very cooperative and helpful, and these things have a way of working themselves out. I mean, not that you're volunteering... |

I promised Asimovian that I would do my best to make it to this next one so...I will try my best to make it if someone else volunteers to organize it.

If people can hold on to their hats for a couple of weeks until I get settled in my new place, I can take it on. But I certainly don't mind if someone else wants to make it go.

I would prefer if we all wait until after Memorial Day at least, since I am booked fairly solid until then.

Mid- to late-June i could do, but i'm going to be away from late May until June 15, then from June 28 until about July 12. Anytime after July 12 would be fine.
Don't have one while i'm away! I missed the last one, and i want to meet all the SoCal Dopers. <insert pouting smiley here> Last edited by mhendo; 05-12-2009 at 03:37 PM. |

There is a Vegas DopeFest set for July 11-12. Comic-Con is July 24-26. Other than those dates we're free.
Mid to late June is also do-able. |

how about some more specific proposals?
I got a great bottle of bear out of the last one. I'm game for another one.
A couple of people have said mid to late June? First decision - Location - vote for one or more of: Orange County (e.g. Costa Mesa) Long Beach Los Angeles Pasadena Second decision - weekday - vote for one or more of Saturday Sunday Third decision - Date - vote for one or more of Saturday 13 June 2009 Sunday 14 June 2009 Saturday 20 June 2009 Sunday 21 June 2009 Saturday 27 June 2009 Sunday 28 June 2009 Fourth decision - venue - vote for one or more of Restaurant Bar Coffee shop Museum (we had a So. Cal. Dopefest many years ago at the LA County Art Museum) Garden (e.g. Huntington Library) |

Of course, you know what my suggestion is going to be!
![]() Costa Mesa (Yardhouse), either day, June 20, 21, 27 or 28. I have more door prizes! |

I would prefer the 27 or 28 to 20 or 21 because I will be out of town the weekend of the 21/22 and would once again miss the fest.
Of course, if none of you want me there... |
|

I, too, would prefer 27/ 28 of those dates.
I'll vote for Saturday. |

I vote for Costa Mesa, Yard House, Sunday 6/14- I will be in Aruba the following weekend and not back until after July 6...

That Costa Mesa Yardhouse looks pretty good. Decent selection of food for us vegetarian types, and it's also (relatively) close to San Diego.
As i said, any day of the 20/21 or 27/28 is fine with me. The latter weekend might be a little bit better, because i'm planning to drive to San Francisco around then anyway, and could stay overnight in LA with a friend before heading up to the Bay Area the next day. |

I going to be in San Diego for business the week of June 15, but I thought about flying out that Saturday (13th) to play tourist. I would love to meet some SoCal Dopers, so I vote for June 14th.

6/14 in Costa Mesa would be great for me.

While not great, 6/14 in Costa Mesa would be fine. I can be a designated driver from the near-Glendale-L.A. area or from San Diego (not sure which one I'll be in at the time).

6/14 is out for us. We'll be in Sacramento that weekend.

Can't organize, but will probably attend. Any weekend in June after the 6th is fine with me, unless it's Father's Day. I can't attend 4th of July weekend because I'm already going to Anime Expo that weekend. Yard House in Costa Mesa would be fine, if I could carpool with somebody. Long Beach would be cool too, if it's near the Blue Line station. Of course, all of this hinges on whether I can arrange child care for the Princess.

Yardhouse Brea Brea Downtown 160 South Brea Blvd., Brea, CA 92821 Phone: (714) 529-9273 Yardhouse Costa Mesa Triangle Square 1875 Newport Boulevard. , Costa Mesa, CA 92627 Phone: (949) 642-0090 Yardhouse Newport Beach Fashion Island 849 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Phone: (949) 640-9273 Yardhouse Irvine Irvine Spectrum 71 Fortune Dr., Irvine, CA 92618 Phone: (949) 753-9373 Yardhouse Long Beach Shoreline Village 401 Shoreline Village Dr., Long Beach, CA 90802 Phone: (562) 628-0455 Also there are Yardhouse Restaurants in Los Angeles and Pasadena The one in Costa Mesa is fine, but if people want to walk around the restaurant before or after the Dopefest, it is the location with the least amount of attractions surrounding it. For example, the ones in Irvine or Newport Beach are in shopping centers with many more things to see. |

Put me down for the 14th and Long Beach also. The Long Beach Yardhouse is quite nice and is in the revitalized downtown area of Long Beach.

Yardhouse in CM, NB or Irvine would be great- yeah, the Spectrum is packed with stuff to do and see...

A little late to this party, but here are my votes to be added in case they make a difference later on.

If we do the Yard house it has to be Costa Mesa with a field trip to the liquor store.
I'm open pretty much any time. |

Ooh I'd like to come! The OC is a bit far for me but I'll probably make the drive anyway. Put me down for whatever you guys decide. Hopefully it's not as far as the OC though

Antinor01 lives in the same area. You can probably carpool with Rick, Antinor01, and I (if Rick says it's ok.

If it's on the 26th, I'll be (hopefully) out of town. Just depends on if my boss finally decides on if I can have the time off or not. I asked for it over a month ago...

To be strictly accurate, I'd prefer Pasadena, but I can make any of the venues and locations listed.
|

#48

Well if it makes it less close, my preference is now the 14th over the 27th by a good bit, so take my vote off the 27th (28th too).
|
|
#49
|

My vote, late at this point, would be Pasadena on the 27th. But odds are that I'll attend whenever and wherever.

Good Lord. I've been known to kill a thread or two in my day, but a Dopefest thread? I apparently don't know my own strength.
Bump, in case you're all still recovering from Memorial Day hangovers. |
