Very bad quality cellphone shot. I should have brought the big camera.

Had a great time, it was good to see Ringo, Irishman and Nemo again after 5 years off and to meet Clothahunp and Toucanna for the first time. I had forgotten how much fun goimg to a dopefest is and am looking forward to the next time. Peace LIONsob ---

I’d like to hold one later this year in Austin, as it’s centrally located and an easy drive for the San Antonians, Houstonians, New Braunsfellers, Wackos 😉 , and possibly the Dallasites (rhymes with “parasites” 😃 ). Although, the Dallasites are used to driving long distances just to get from one side of the city to the other, so Austin shouldn’t be too far for them. Not sure when to hold it, but definitely not in July, August or September, due to the heat. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/meeting-in-houston/610574.md?page=2)
