Not _too_ high - I’ll be away from my computer after tomorrow morning, and **UncleBeer** won’t have 'puter access after Monday. We’ll assume Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse at 6 on Friday unless we hear otherwise. **Ringo** , you have **Beer** ’s cell phone number, right? ---

Yes, I have the hotline to **Beer**. Who else can we expect? ---

I _think_ CMC and hubby DMC were planning to be there. Reservations under your name? Or Ringo? ---

Sorry to hear that **bordelond** , maybe next time. Unaccounted for at the moment are **CLedet** , **Crispy** and **Lyra**. And anyone else who’d care to join us. I’ll make reservations tomorrow. ---

I haven’t heard from **CMC** (or **DMC** by proxy) for a couple of weeks. I hope they check in soon. ---

My wife hasn’t logged on lately, but we’re a definite go for this. My company is closed on Friday, so 6:00 PM presents no problems for us. I’ve never been to a Dopefest, so I have no idea what the protocol is. Do I just say “UncleBeer?” to everyone that walks into the restaurant? 😃 ---

Yes please, someone tell us how to meet. If my husband starts asking everyone if they are Uncle Beer our numbers could dwindle to 4 very fast… 😉 I could always come with a red rose between my teeth. ---

**C** and **DMC** , meet the Ringo Adams party at Dickie Brennan’s on Friday night. I look forward to seeing y’all. I’ll be the one wearing pants. ---

I would come, but I’m about 200 miles due south right now. If someone can organize a helidopepter, I’ll see what I can do. ---

I made a reservation for 6 @ 6:00 PM for Ringo Adams. See y’all soon. ---

Thanks to **Ringo** , **CMC** , **DMC** , **Lyra** , and Lyra’s non-doper friend Katie for braving Bayou Classic traffic and dangerous French Quarter parking, and joining **UncleBeer** and me for dinner and/or dessert and/or drinks on Friday. It was great to meet y’all (and to see **Ringo** again). Other than the discussion of mounting and boobs, you could hardly tell we weren’t normal people. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-orleans-dopefest-thanksgiving-weekend/126876.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-orleans-dopefest-thanksgiving-weekend/126876.md?page=5)
