> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hamadryad \* > \*\*I doubt very seriously that I am going to be able to meet the **Illustrious Anahita** when she’s in the states, and this makes me kinda bummed, but I just realized that I have something very cool that I can give her, so would someone who’s going please email me your snail mail addy so I can mail you something for her? Actually since **Zappo** is putting it together I guess he’d be best… \*\* Actually, if you want to bring it to the Wedding this weekend and give it to me, I’m planning on seeing her during her visit to NYC later next month. It will save you on the postage. But if you’d rather give it to someone that will see her next weekend instead, that’s fine too. ---

OK, who’s in to meet **Anahita** this Saturday? I’m thinking lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe’ on Market Street, say about two-ish? Give us a shout out so I can reserve a table. ---

Intaglio and I are in. Kiddo may be in tow, but she’s pretty well behaved. Would that present issues? ---

Not to me it wouldn’t, **Tranq**. I’m sure she’ll be welcome at the Hard Rock; they even have a kid’s menu, IIRC. The plans after that are fluid at best based on what **Anahita** would like to do or see. I’m hoping I’ll be able to call Annie today or this evening to get some idea as to what she’d like us to do and will post more as events develop. ---

Is this still happening? I’m just NE of Philly and would love to meet some of my fellow Dopers. ---

You bet it’s still happening, **Frank**! So far, we have: **Anahita** (possibly en famille) **Tranquilis, Mrs. Tranquilis, and the Tranquilette** **ResIpsaLoquitor** **Zappo** Look. . .more than one Doper in the room constitutes a DopeFest according to the Official DopeFest Rule Book, so yeah we’re still on! ---

I demand that all the Philly Dopers go meet Anahita, for she is sweet like chocolate. ---

Aaaargh. I just found out that I will be unable to do a two-ish kind of lunch thing due to a Family Commitment. Would anybody be amenable to getting together at the Hard Rock later on Saturday, say around five or so? Please let me know. Thanks! ---

Hi all. . . Here’s the plan. Anahita and I are meeting up at the King of Prussia Mall tomorrow (Saturday, August 3) in the early evening (say, after 5 PM). The plans are still sort of fluid, so if you’d like in, please email me BEFORE 9 AM SATURDAY MORNING at [finsandchrome@yahoo.com](mailto:finsandchrome@yahoo.com) with your phone number and I’ll give you a call to let you know what’s up. Sorry for the manner of notice, but we’ve both been moving around a lot this week and it’s been kind of hard to get hold of either of us. ---

I’m still in? Crap, I’m not. I need to cram for my bar exam next week, so my day is shot. Sorry. ☹ :::kicking self::: ---
