Speeking of ocean breezes… Unless there’s a major change in weather between all this week and Sat., it’ll be in the upper 60s… probably around 68… while we are there. We live 4 miles from the ocean and the restaurant is about 1 mile from us, so I’m guessing we’ll be about 3 miles from the ocean. If you are coming from the dessert where you are used to a dry cold, a damp cold is colder. If you are like me and anything over 68 is to hot, you’ll be fine. but if you are more like my hubby where anything under 80 is to cold, you’ll want a jacket. I don’t think you’ll need snow boots, heavy coat, 3 layers of clothes (including thermal undies), ear muffs, gloves, etc. but who am I to tell you what to wear. 😉 Kathy ---

Ahh. Upgrade me back up to a definately. It turns out our weekend work policy is “show up sometime and leave when you feel like it, no more than 12 hours please.” Whee! Still just 1, though. ---

Bad news. Totally spaced that a good friend is visiting this weekend from NYC, so I won’t be able to make it. I’m pretty sure this means **darkscyde** won’t be attending, either. Blah. Sorry folks. Somebody molest **JustPlainBryan** for me! Esprix ---

Getting everything together here. Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight. Tell the hostess you’re with the Wayman group on the patio. I completely spaced out about giving my name as “Cecil Adams” when I made the reservation. Besides, wouldn’t that be slightly…well…uh…_sacreligious_??? :smack: ---

In case some of you missed it, **Rico** posted a wrap-up thread: [SurfDope 2004 is History!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=280097) And just now **David Simmons** started a thread to show off his pictures.

**Scout** , I sent my pics over to **Rico** , but he hasn’t posted them yet. About 6 or 7 pics I think. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-socal-dopefest-in-the-works/261515.md?page=7)
