So, is this Roscoe’s anywhere near the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel?
That would be really cool.
Depends on your frame of reference, and what you consider far.
Comparing the distance from your house to Roscoe’s and the distance from Roscoe’s to anywhere in Hollywood, anywhere is right there.
ok, I’ll be done with my plans in N.Valley at 6:30-7, I’ll book it down to Hollywood but where should I go? Do you think you’ll still be at Roscoe’s at 8pm? If not, who wants to volunteer to be my phone contact so I can catch up? I could just call Roscoe’s if you tell them, “when the man says ‘1920’s Style Death Ray’ just give me the phone”.
Are there plans for after, or will I show up as everyone is heading out?
I’m happy to give you my cell number since I’m coordinating all this, but you have your PMs turned off.
Same here
Turned on PMs and sent a msg to Asimovian…thanks.
I know. For some reason I thought he was living in NY for an indefinite period, not visiting. I realized my mistake before I pressed “submit”, but I liked my comment about the Midwest, so I posted it. What can I say? I’m a narcissist.
ETA: My offer to drive San Diego and Orange County Dopers is still open. I promise I don’t bite. I also have some disposable income now, so I’m not going to make you pay for me 
Actually, the way I see it, I owe Astroboy14 and Encinitas a drink or two.
Yes, but I live in a geographical oddity, two weeks from anywhere!
Actually I thought you home was 20 minutes by telephone from Hollywood.
Bringing your own mirror to the fest or should I grab one on the way? 
Are you kidding? I always have a mirror on me.
Okay - NOW I’m 5000 miles away from the proposed venue. Can I start bitching again?
Yes, but remember not to neglect the Midwest. You should say “there’s an ocean and several boring states’ worth of flyover country between me and Hollywood” for fairness’ sake. As a handy bonus, this also includes the lesser states of the Snow Coast by implication.
ETA: Seriously, though, when are you going to make it out to So Cal?
When you ban the fucking guns!
But seriously, I’m not sure. I’d quite like to see Frisco if only for the vast quantities of man-gina there but I know that’s not exactly next door to LA. Alternatively you could all visit London, it’s way cool here. You can even drink our tap water now without fear of typhoid.
Bah! Who needs San Francisco? What you need is a tour of beautiful Hillcrest.
I can drink tap water anywhere in the US, but I do love London!
I was so hoping that Hillcrest photo would be a picture of the pride parade or something fabulous.
Asmovian, I’m pretty sure I’ll be there on time. I PM’d ctywkr about carpooling since he ran out of his yearly quota of posting privileges.

Good man, good man. Carry on!
Sorry guys, looks like I will have to catch you next time. Everyone have an extra waffle for me, ok?
You’d be surprised how hard it is to find a good picture of the actual event. Nevertheless, here you go.
Did you know that San Diego’s LGBT community loves the police and vice versa? Strange, but true. (ETA: Jerry Sanders, too. Odds are, if you meet a Democrat who likes Sanders, he’s one of us.)
And then you have the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who are not so much described as experienced.
