Since the title of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=346861) apparently wasn’t clear enough, I’m starting this thread and will quote **Rico** in case you don’t want to bother looking at the other thread: > [@](#): > > Well, it’s come down to this. > > In January, **cadolphin** and I will be moving to Utah. > > In the past 4 years we have met some wonderful Dopers who we would like to see one more time before we leave Southern California. > > So, we propose “Farewell R & K” Dope-fest, at what has become our favorite Southern California Straight Doper hangout, [Ye Olde Kings Head](http://yeoldekingshead.com) in Santa Monica. Proposed date is Saturday, December 17th at 7:00PM. Dinner of fish and chips, or bangers and mash, or kidney pie, or any of their wonderful selections, followed by good fellowshipping, renewal of old friendships, and of course, the tearful good-byes as we pack up and move northeast. > > I’ll be responsible for reservations. Just let me know if you can attend. > > One more time, let’s all get together. If we like you and you don’t show up, we’ll hunt you down and treat you like the dogs that you are. > > In other words, Kathy says be there. That’s an order. 😃 ---

Let me confirm that we can still do this. If I’m there, I’ll be bringing my BF too. But I need to check with him to make sure we’re not committed to anything else that I don’t know about (you know how that goes…). Duly noted that you’ll need to know by Thursday! ---

Well, it’s been a day or two and the engagement I was expecting never came up. So I’m free to attend! Er… Last time I was there I got rooked for parking. I’d consider parking at the Promenade lots, but are there any secret places you locals know about? ---
