Hey @Bullitt. You’re a champ for setting this up. Thanks! Just sending a note to say that I’ll be there but it might be a little bit later than 4PM. ---

You know, if you have a big enough crowd, you could take a group picture, tell us who attended, and let us guess who’s who! Just blur out the nametags. ---

We’ll see what people are comfortable with doing. But I like this idea. Instead of name tags I’m bringing index cards. They can be folded in half and set out on the tables, like name plates or whatever they’re called. I prefer that to sticky stickers on our clothing. ---

Looks like I’m going to be a few minutes late. I’m stuck in traffic in the Outer Richmond, then will need to find parking. See you soon! ---

My ETA is about 4:45. Sorry I’ll be a little late. One good thing about our meeting spot is that it should be fairly easy to identify other Dopers (looking like they’re looking for me and other Dopers). See you soon. (and, sans dim sum, unfortunately) ---

Nice to meet everyone today! Good turnout in our little nook at the food court…I think there were 12 of us sitting 'round the gathered tables when I departed. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about the secret spot just north of the Golden Gate Bridge that we discussed 😉 ---

Nice to meet all y’all today! And @ **blondebear** , thank you! for posting bail for me today. I owe you one, big time. The SFPD was a little exuberant when they claimed I was being drunk and disorderly. What crap. Hey does anyone know a good SF lawyer who can help me with those charges? My record so far is clean and I’d like to keep it that way. I’ll be posting pics soon… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-fest-san-francisco-bay-area-may-june-2023/982563.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-fest-san-francisco-bay-area-may-june-2023/982563.md?page=7)
