Boston Dopefest: McCormick & Schmick (at Quincy Market) - Wednesday July 11th, 6:30pm

Whoops - forgot to post that I’m still coming. (hope I’m included in the count!)

So folks can recognize: Me! | Onboard the R/V Oceanus. Probably the 16th or 17th of … | Flickr ('cept, I won’t have the boat or ocean with me!)

Cheers

Oh geez. I lost track of this - I don’t think I’m going to make it. Sorry guys.

I’m the one in the sunglasses. I will also be sans ocean, but with hair.

In fact, if anybody recognizes me from that pic, I’ll be amazed.

Me no postee piccy… but I am a Black dude with a black shirt that says “No.” Heading to the T now, see y’all in a bit…

I don’t have a pic to post either, though my prominent horns make me quite easy to pick out in a crowd.

Oh, them horns are pointy.

I’M POSTING AT THE DOPEFEST!!!

Wow, I feel as though I’m there. :smiley:

On the train coming home from the 'fest.

That was a good time, I wish the tables were round so our two halves could talk more, but it was good to put faces to the screennames.

And I don’t think my fiancee was too overwhelmed!

Word, Elysium. I’m gonna check out that show - Psych? as you recommended.

Definitely a good time, and a good crew. My wife had a good time as well. Bummer, I just met y’all and I’m leaving soon… (sniff) I suppose I’ll be back in Boston once or twice over the next year, so hopefully we can fest again and I can come by…

Yes, very nice time. I’m sorry I had to duck out early. The commuter rail gives me a choice of 8:50 or 10:50.

I do think that we need to solve the table/conversation issue, but as I mentioned to a few folks, a setting like a pool hall would solve that nicely. Even if I do suck at pool.

Let’s not let another year go by before the next one, OK?

Someone suggested we play “Musical Chairs” at a future Dopefest, forcing people to sit next to different folks through the event – that makes sense.
McCormick and Schmick’s was good (very good food) but pricey (although air conditioned, a blessing yesterday and an improvement over the Durgin Park fan-cooled session). We noticed people walking by with odd hats during the meal, who had apparently come from Dick’s Last Resort. That might be a good venue for next time. It’s more informal, and not as pricey.

Yup, Psych. It’s silly and really funny. The first season dvds just released and Season two starts this Friday on USA.

Dicks sounds good for a meetup, my waiter friend says he gets a lot of large groups so I’m sure they are set up for socializing.

Absolutely! Whatcha all doing next week? I’d like to hook up with Rich and Sherry before they move.

Anyway, we’re confirmed. We have a reservation for a “large party” for last night at the Black Rose. I’m glad they got back to us promptly.

Yes, I feel more than a little guilty that I was the one who suggested it, but I really had visions of the Happy Hour menu. I know that, at a different location, it’s actually possible to sit at tables and partake of that…live and learn, I guess.

Cool. Let’s fire up the time machine, and I see you there.

(BTW, thanks for commenting on my weight. It sucks to starve yourself when no one notices!)
