Am I too late to get myself on that email list? I’d love to do this, and barring financial or work stupidity I should be able to make it… I’m in Thousand Oaks, and I can fit about 4 other people (or 2 people and their luggage 😉 ) into my POS Ford if anyone would like to carpool. ---

I can probably be there that weekend. And Monster, I believe I have to drive right past you on the way, so I’ll be happy to pick you up if you’d like to carpool. (Just don’t tell Grace - she’ll be seething with jealousy - tee hee :D) ---

**dogsbody** : I tried emailing you at the address in your profile. It got bounced back. Is that still a valid address? Or did I just type something wrong? **Demo** : You are welcome to join Doob and I as we scout San Luis for appropriate places. But, I don’t know if the San Luis police force would be happy to find out that the three of out are there skulking together. 🙂 I like how this thing is turning out! I can’t wait til the summer, it is gonna be wicked killer. For,sure. pat ---

Left Coasters unite! Did you people happen to see the notes for the NYC DopeFest? If my count is correct, they had **forty-three people in attendance**! Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I consider it a matter of honor that we beat that number this summer. Granted, they had some outside help, but I think we may be getting some as well. So, I ask you, for me, for yourselves, but mostly for the honor of the Pacific Coast, let’s make this the _biggest DopeFest ever held_! 😉 ---

Yeah dude… we need to get like motivated and stuff. We need to ummm… hey, bong goes clockwise… ummmm… do stuff and stuff. Awww, who are we kidding. I’ll be happy if two other people and an ounce shows up. ---

Yeah people, get your asses to this one. We cant let those hoity toity New Yorkers show us up! Damn it, we’re the most populous state, we should have at LEAST 50 people come. Dont be afraid if you dont know anyone, none of us really did our first times! So, you need your dope fest cherries popped some time! But, it looks like it’s all coming together quite nicely. I am proud Pat and I have made such progress. As soon as we check out places we can have it, we’ll let you all know. ---

Like I’ve said earlier, pretty much any time during the summer should be pretty good for me. Now that I have potential rides up there, all I need to do now is save a wad of cash…shouldn’t be too hard, I’ve got six months to do it. I’ve noticed a pretty large crowd response to this…something like 35-40. Unless I’m a really bad estimator. ---

here is the list of people who expressed any (eve the slightest bit of interest) so far: Me Pricciar Spooje Monster104 JavaMaven1 Democritus Psycat90 Falcon Kyla SPOOFE Bo Diddly Wevets Dragonlady fnord1966 deb2world UncaStuart the Scarlet Pimpernel Esprix Baglady Obfusciatrist RicePad Slackergirl Anamorphic Nymysys Zenster Catrandom Tristan Silver Fire Sue Duhnym Strainger oldscratch Rasa Ruffian Punoqllads Zyzzyva Sethdallob dogsbody Shayna That equals 37 so far. Since we have 6 months, I think we can get our number up to at least 50, so we can whoop the asses of the NYC contingent 🙂 (this really isnt a competition, more of an excuse for me to keep bumping). Even if 20 showed, i’d be quite happy that it actually got off the ground and went smoothly. ---

Ok, I’m hurt, I can admit it. MONTHS, and months ago we all came up with this idea, and it never came to fruition. Now you post it on the board without TELLING me? And, I’m not listed as a possible show? Bah! Damn you dopers! 😃 -Sam ---

I mean, like we’re supposed to remember something like that from months ago? :). Besides, i dont remember yout alking aout having it IN SLO, i remember a kind of weekend trip to one of the lakes in South Monterey county. Thus, not the same idea, so there.

Just bumping. For those who are interested, it looks like the LA-area Dopefest will be taking place on February 24. And at some point I’ll have to plan a San Diego Dopefest. 😉 Esprix, looking forward to molest… er, meeting **Doobeious** 😉 ---

Well, I’m still kind of on the list a little. I’m going to be getting a real job with a real schedule and real days off and stuff. I could try to request a few days off right away when I get hired, or I could see if I could possibly build up enough PTO between the day that I get hired and the day I have to leave MN. I’m not sure yet though. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nor-cal-meets-so-cal/36981.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nor-cal-meets-so-cal/36981.md?page=7)
