Absolutely! The more friends, the marrier (unless, of course, they’re psycho…then things could just be wierd and awkward). I’m on board, and I know **Crorex** is planning on making it as well. Also **pavnik** (I hope I spelled that right) is planning on coming. I had a list somewhere, but I lost it. Oh well, here’s a good way to get an updated and better one. And reminder…if you show up late, we’ll be there under the name: “Adams” Just a heads up. ---

I should be good to go. If I can make it to friday without a suprise project at work it’ll be all good. ---

Hmm… Mar 15th… _checks calendar_ So far, it’s looking good. (I’m not, but hey, that’s another topic altogether…) Count me in. And possibly I can talk **Mr Bear** , **BlueBear** , and **luminousman** into coming with me. Wouldn’t that be something? The whole Bear clan at once. :smack: Oh, wait. That would scare off anyone who’s met us before… 😛 ---

I’ll try to make it, probably late, though 😃 yay, my first dopefest!! ---

It just wouldn’t be a Batdope without y’all, **purrplebear**. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Fionn \* > I was wondering whether the Bear clan would be joining us. It just wouldn’t be a Batdope without y’all, **purrplebear**. 😃 Why thank you, **Fionn**. I’ll do my best to make it, and drag the other bears with me. Actually, son now has his own car, so he can drive himself. Even though, strictly speaking, only **luminousman** is an Austinite. But, hey, we’re only an hour and a half away. Thank you for making it early enough on a Sat, so that **Mr Bear** can come too. He has to leave for work at O dark thirty on Sun. morning, the poor dear. So, where are all the rest of the Austinites? I sure hope more of them come along too. And it will be good to meet **Malita** and **CRorex** , and see **Babs** and **Gorilla Magoo** again. Not to mention **Ringo**. ---

Would some of you be interested in meeting on Friday? That saturday I need to be back home by 4. Seeing as it’s a 3 hour drive… If not, all is cool. Now that I am my own boss, I can take time off when ever I want! ---

I can’t get out of San Antonio any earlier than Saturday. hmm… I’ll try to bring pictures of the monkeys from work with me. There’s got to be something I can gank from the PR offices with monkey pictures. ---

I just made reservations for a hotel room Saturday night, so I WILL be there, though I may be fashionably late or early depending on traffic and when I can drag my sorry ass out of bed on Saturday. And I know what I’m wearin’. 😉 ---

Oh, can someone in town hit me with a cellphone number in the very unlikely event that I get lost? My only friend in town doesn’t have a phone on his pants like I do. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/austin-dopefest-whos-on-board/159386.md?page=2)
