Two out of three ain’t bad, is it? I already told **thinks** I see him more than some of my dearest friends… this is sealing the deal. Hey **UncleBill** : I don’t know if I fit the “hot” criteria, but I would loooove to tool around the PCH on a Harley. Yee-haw! ---

**boli,** you certainly do fit the description. I’d be glad to have you aboard! ---

Anyone? \*\* I can probably help you there. I’m going to have to ditch dopers for family obligations on Sunday morning, but could grab you on my way out of town on Sunday afternoon. I’d like to be back in the bay area by about 10:00 pm on Sunday. ---

I just wanted to say: **Oh. My. God!** There are so many wonderful people coming!!! So, any ideas on what we are going to do yet or are 43 of us going to roll on into the local sports bar and ask for a table? 😉 [sub]p.s. Bill, I shave my legs, so I’ll be allowed in your bed, right?[/sub] 😃 ---

Can we have a roll call on the times everyone will be at the airport? It may be easier to figure out transportation if we know who will be there and when. ---

Rather than inundate this thread with flight info, can we just send it someone and then have them post the synopsis? ---

Well, **Nen** and I get in midnight-ish on Friday, but we have a car rented. Anyone that gets in that late (although I suspect y’all will be in by then) could probably get in with us. If I’m not being too forward, of course. I know the man should make these kinds of decisions, not the little woman. 😃 ---

I’ll volunteer to coordinate flight times. Send your arrival and departure times (you KNOW we’ll need to coordinate on Sunday) to me at [boli1973@hotmail.com](mailto:boli1973@hotmail.com). ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by **Demo** _ > > So, any ideas on what we are going to do yet or are 43 of us going to roll on into the local sports bar and ask for a table? See, this is the kind of thing us locals need to know, especially those of us who are (probably) not spending the entire weekend, but rather coming for whatever large gathering(s) there is (are). Shall we let **Coldfire** decide, as the guest of honor? Or **Mercutio** or whoever else has experience with these things? (I’d offer, but I’m not local to LA.) And I once again reiterate to the LA Dopers that you’d all better make the same damn efforts to come to San DiegDopefest, whenever the hell it’ll be. Esprix ---

Since I’m trying to avoid any real work today, I slogged through the original 8-page thread to collect more flight times. Here’s what I have so far (and yes, I am rounding the times to make it easier): 10:00 a.m. **katiekilldare, scotticher** 11:00 a.m. **unclebill** 12:30 p.m. **demo, psycat** 1:00 p.m. **me** 2:00 p.m. **Coldie, Spiny** 2:15 p.m. **thinksnow** 6:20 p.m. **mauvaise, strainger, padeye** 7:00 p.m. **wicked blue** 11:55 p.m. **Nen, Nymysys** ---

I can’t believe I’m doing this - three dopefest weekends in a row. I’ll be getting to LAX Friday at 11:46am. **boli** , details in email. ---

I’ll be there. So will **Caldazar**. Two more to add to your list, **Merc**. ---

_One_ more to add, anyway. I see Cal’s already on it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Esprix \* > **Shall we let Coldfire decide, as the guest of honor?** Young man, I know as much about LA as you know about the female anatomy! Perhaps even LESS, come to think of it. I don’t see 300 LA’s on the street everyday, after all. 😉 I have no preference as to where we go. But I have to say (locals, correct me if I’m wrong!), getting into a restaurant with over 40 people (perhaps over 60!) will be difficult. I’m fine with Burger King and a sports bar, to be honest - I’m also down with the Waldorf. You guys decide. 🙂 And I’m really, _really_ amazed/suprised/honoured/extatic that so many people will turn up! Woohoo! ---

I think we should all show up at McDonald’s, right around 8:45 PM. ---
