**SkipMagic** , I wonder if, since the day is getting close, maybe the title of the thread should be changed to something like “Arizona dopefest on the 31st” or something like that? ---

Well, my friend can’t come. I do still want to come, however, I get lost. A lot. And I never drive in Phoenix and I’ve never been to Scottsdale. Is the restaurant awfully hard to find? I’m scared! Are there reasonably-priced hotels nearby? I won’t be wanting to drive home afterwards. ---

It is located roughly between Camelback mountain and the Papago Rocks: https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3030%2BN%2B68TH%2BSt,%2BScottsdale,%2BAZ&t=h&ll=33.48257,-111.934891&spn=0.039946,0.09613 Look for Thomas road and then turn on 68th street towards the butt of the Camel. ---

Could some kind soul please email me a cell phone number that I can call if I get lost? Someone that’s really good with directions, preferably! I would very much appreciate it. I’m off Friday, so I can leave waaaay early and stake out a hotel before I come to the restaurant. ---

Just one cell phone number I can call? Is that so much to ask for? I had **Mr. Bus Guy** ’s phone number when he came to Tucson, and I didn’t even stalk him! I promise not to use it for nefarious purposes, if somebody could please just help a sister out, here. ---

I would say it’s somewhere in between. About 80% cartoony and 20% realistic. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arizona-dopefest-march-31st/345697.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arizona-dopefest-march-31st/345697.md?page=4)
