I will be in Long Beach April 28 - May 4th for a tradeshow. Any upcoming dopefests in the area so I might actaully get to meet some of you??
To bad you can’t get to the L.A. Dopefest on the 25th. You would be just 3 days short.

Crap! Oh well, think fondly of me!
Well, Poysyn, I don’t know about anyone else, but I would be honored and flattered to meet you.
I already think fondly of you. 
Hey, let’s have one in San Diego! I’ve always wanted to go to a Doperfest, but never quite enough to drive up to Hell-A for it. Believe me, after a couple of days in Long Beach, you will definitely be ready to visit San Diego.
What goes on at a dopefest? I think it would be fun to meet other dopers, but some of us are shy. Perhaps if I know a little more about it, I might make it to one. Do you guys just meet up for dinner somewhere, or what’s it like? How many people typically show up? How frequently are they held?
By the way, I know a lot of girls age 25-30 that would love to meet a SDMB guy. I should bring them along right?
Poysyn will probably check in and confirm this, but I understand that she’s attending a convention, which probably means long hours, likely putting San Diego out of the question. I personally (not that anyone would want to see me) will be in San Diego on the 28th, but driving back the next day.
Orgies and debauchery.
Seriously, what goes on and how many people show up depends on the doperfest. I’ve heard tell of over a dozen people attending, but there have been doperfests as small as three to five people. Usually dinner is involved–sometimes a trip to a museum or some such. Depends who shows up and what they want to do. There’s no firm agenda.
Please tell me you don’t REALLY need this question answered!:eek: 
Don’t belittle yourself DRY, I’d like to meet you. If Poysyn can’t make it, let him/her slowly dissolve in the industrial air up in Long Beach. Maybe Sleepyhead and a friend or two can join us. That is unless DRY is also female, in which case … hey, so much the better!
Yo, Greg, over here.
Hey Greg Charles - don’t pick on me in my own thread! I am coming in for a trade show and was hoping to meet some of you, this is not a trip that I can just take off in a car (which I don’t have) and drive a few hours to San Diego. The whole point of my thread was to see if anyone in the area wanted to come to Long Beach so I could put a few faces together with some names.
Who the hell are you and what have you done with Poysyn? Well, whoever you are, it’s too bad about the timing. If you were coming a week later I’d make the drive. I was just kidding about Long Beach. It’s a reasonably nice place, and conveniently located near some of the best Vietnamese restaurants this side of the Pacific. Have fun!
Poysyn, I’m really disappointed that I didn’t have the chance to meet you. 
Maybe next time?
I do hope you had a nice time went things weren’t terribly busy.
