> [@Hostile\_Dialect](#): > > So, who’s actually going from San Diego? I support you if you need to bribe people. I was really hoping to get some folks from down south. And Hollywood really isn’t all that far from Long Beach. And kidnapping is legal\* in some states. So just bring some folks with you! \*Depending on what your definition of “legal” is. ---

I’ll be there, but despite the location field I’m not actually coming from San Diego. ---

Turns out I have friends coming in from out of town this weekend, so it depends on which night we are going to try to get together. I will push for Friday, but if they can only do Saturday…well nothing against you guys, but I would rather see them. I should know more by Wednesday. ---

Yeah, I’d really _like_ to meet up with you guys and all that, but it’s just not working right now. We’ve actually driven up to the LA area the past few weekends for other events, and there’s stuff down here we need to get done this weekend. WHERE IS MY HOVERCRAFT? ---

There’s nothing tying you to San Diego this weekend: - Need to do laundry? _Lots of laundromats in Hollywood!_ - Worried about cleaning the house? _Getting away from the house will make you forget about that!_ - Concerned about the pets getting fed? _Bring them back a doggy bag from Roscoe’s!_ - Wanted to start on your Christmas shopping? _Roscoe’s t-shirts and gift certificates for everyone!_ There. I’ve solved all your problems. You’re welcome. Who’s next? 🙂 ---

> [@Illuminatiprimus](#): > > I live about 5000 miles away from the dopefest and there’s an ocean between me and it - suggestions? Locate flight to LAX, on arrival from LAX locate shuttle to metro green line, take green line to blue line, blue line to red line. Exit redline at hollywood/vine, follow directions given earlier in thread from hollywood/vine station to Roscoes. Tada! ---

Alternatively, you could buy a set of floaties and…well, if you start swimming now, you might make it for dessert. ---

I guess alternatively I could just not go home from NY and fly to LA from here. I mean, it’s not like my job need me or anything, and what’s another £1000 or so? I could just put it on my credit card! ---

> [@Illuminatiprimus](#): > > I live about 5000 miles away from the dopefest and there’s an ocean between me and it - suggestions? New York is 5000 miles from LA with an ocean in the middle? Listen, the Midwest may be barren, but I don’t think they appreciate being talked about like that. ---
