Iā€™m good, though Iā€™m also up for meeting at a non-fat kind of venue, or at least a non-dessert type of place. Meeting yuz is enough of a treat, without my being tempted to careen off my non-cheesecake regimen. Juniorā€™s makes fabulous cheesecake. ---

Perfect. Iā€™m there. Juniors does have good salads. Have one of those and then one slice of cheesecake. ---

So, Iā€™ve never been to one of these gatherings and I have a question. How do I find you once Iā€™m there, since I donā€™t know what anyone looks like. Juniors Times Square is a huge place. I guess I could wander through the restauarant asking ā€œIs this the Dopefest? Are you Illuminatiprimus? Psuedotriton ruber ruber?ā€ which would actually be fun in a perverse sort of way but I might ending up having dinner at Bellevue. So, how do you handle this? ---

Iā€™ll bring a sign and try and put it somewhere noticeable (probably on the table). Also you can find pics of me [here](http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/ali.bushell/StraightDope#), so youā€™ll know at least what one person looks like. ---

We could all wear red roses. Or black hats. Or Groucho glasses. ---
