Technically, 30-50 or so. In reality, I haven’t been to a Dopefest in years and 90% of those I’ve met are probably no longer 'Dopers. ---

I think that many more Dopers would have a chance to meet other Dopers if we had a way to identify ourselves to each other, say like a Straight Dope T-shirt or something like that. That might help, in between Dopefests. ---

Let’s see… **Santo Rugger Astroboy14 scout1222 Encinitas Taber** Am I forgetting anyone from the San Diego mini-Dopefest at that Korean BBQ place? Either way, I’ll be meeting a bunch more Dopers at Roscoe’s this Saturday! ---

Oh, so I’m the only one that screams “Gotcha Ya!” when entering a crowded restaurant? 🆒 I’ve met four Dopers tdn bbs2k Robot Arm Autolycus when these gentlemen were all in the greater Boston area. ---

I have met one, **WordMan**. A couple of years ago his band happened to have a gig in New York while I was visiting my sister-in-law in New Jersey. My wife and I enjoyed a good meal, a great band, and an online friendship got even better. A worthwhile trip.
