Dope Fest San Francisco Bay Area! (May/June 2023)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Let’s do this! Who’s up for it?

If you’d like to join in the May/June 2023 San Francisco Bay Area Dope Fest, how about providing the following? Or, however you want to reply, go for it. These are suggestions…

Perhaps copy and paste these lines:

● Will you go? Suggested words, please use Definitely!, or Likely, or Possibly. Or however you want to answer this but that’ll give an idea of who might come and how likely that’ll happen.
● Where will you be coming from?
● Dates — What date(s) do not work for you? Or, which ones do?

Any other thoughts?

From that info we can pick a location centrally located, for convenience.

Shall we fest, Dopers?

Alright, here are my answers.

● Will you go? Definitely!
● Where will you be coming from? Peninsula

8

● Where will you be coming from? San Jose

9

I would love to, but it’s a 10 hour drive each way and I’d have to find a place to sleep.

10

I’ll come if somebody puts me up for the night.

11

Possibly
Mesa AZ
Circa June 10 - 11 when I will be there anyway but not those specific dates as I will be busy.

12

● Will you go?
Possibly to Likely

● Where will you be coming from?
San Francisco

● Dates
Yes, I would like to have one to accompany me. Do you have a comely, unattached sister?

Most any day is ok for me.

In terms of location I’m tempted to suggest San Francisco but then again, I live there. It is centrally located, though.

I think Oakland or Berkeley could work, too. Wherever it is, it should definitely be within walking distance of a BART station.

13

● Will you go? Possibly. Depends on when and where it is. If it’s in the South Bay I’m much more likely to attend than if it’s in SF or the East Bay.
● Where will you be coming from? San Jose
● Dates — Early to mid June doesn’t work for me, but don’t take my schedule into account at all since the odds of me attending aren’t that high.

14

This is looking good so far. I put everyone’s answers into a spreadsheet and we can use it to pick a date and location. Please check to see that I have your info accurately.

Thanks!

Wow! Seeing that headline sure took me back a couple of decades! Being a denizen of Virginia means I can’t feasibly join in the festivities, but thanks for the lightning bolt of nostalgia nonetheless. Boy, now I have a hankering for dim sum!

18

There’s some great dim sum in San Francisco.

19

If San Francisco dim sum is involved, I may have to make the trip from Sacramento.

20

I’d like to add my vote for dim sum.

Snooooopy, I remember you from a Bay Area Dopefest I attended about 20 years ago.
