You really should start a seperate thread annoucing a Dopefest. We need to get this thing settled and soon, get some reservations done and all. Do me a favor and e-mail me and I will help you coordinate this all. ---

Just out of curiosity, **Spiny Norman** , are you going to set aside any time for hashing while you’re in California? If you do, take **Shayna** with you. She needs to see that side of you before she gets in too deep. Sorry I won’t be able to meet you (I live in Atlanta). I’m sure you’re an excellent person to know; as Rodgers & Hammerstein taught us, there’s nothing like a Dane. ---

Checking in… **Ashtar** , we’re having dinner mid-week, **Wednesday the 25th** , not on the weekend. Please do try to join us. **Rasa** , it totally sucks that you can’t make it down for this, but, depending on when the NorCal/SoCal Dopefest is scheduled for, we _may_ come to that together (he’ll be back mid Summer - I’m hoping the last week in June/first week in July). **JavaMaven** , lots of places that serve liquor but also serve food, allow minors to come in and eat. Perhaps someone should phone Ye Olde King’s Head and find out? **Fiver** , **Spiny** is off in Sardinia camping at the moment, so forgive me for answering for him. We won’t have time for hashing while he’s here, but he’s told me all about it and it sounds like a blast. Nothing that would scare me away, that’s for sure. Heck, at this point I’m not sure there’s _anything_ he could do to scare me away! 🙂 **Mercutio** , I’ll send you an email in just a bit… * * * Jeg elsker dig, Thomas ---

At **Mercutio’s** request, I have started [this new thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=66827) to continue the planning of this (now official) Dopefest. Please post any new replies to that thread. (I’ve requested this one be closed.) Thanks. 🙂 ---
