I have no problem moving to another day but I realize it might inconvenience other people, especially if it’s a weekday. So what’s the consensus? ---

Hello-I’m a San Antonio gal myself but I would love to make the trip up to meet some fellow dopers. I’ve never attended a Dopefest so this will be exciting. I’m not real familiar with Houston so I can’t make any suggestions for a restaurant, but I’m easy-just name the place. Looking forward to it- bigdfrombigd 🙂 ---

Welcome, friend. I hope you have a pleasant stay here and I know it’ll be a good dopefest. I’ve been informed we’re already comitted to joining some folks at a comedy club that evening. A Rodney Carrington (?) who’s humor will no doubt pale next to what I could have experienced with y’all. Sorry to miss! ---

A few days out now. Could people who are planning on attending check in so we have an idea of how many to expect? ---

Crap! I’m in Houston! I could’ve made that… I’m a noob and all but I’d have like to meet you guys. I guess I should log in more. How was the food? I’m not a fan of Chinese but if it’s really good, I’ll try it. I’d have recommended Beck’s Prime for a burger or some Thai somewhere. ---

[I thought I invited you!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=10724517#post10724517) I’m sorry you missed it. The Chinese was ok - but the company was superb. Maybe we can go a little more upscale next time. 😃 ---

I agree, Great company and ok food. Maybe Becks, greek or a nice pub next year? It was great seeing Ringo and Little Nemo again, and meeting Dolores Reborn!
