I suspect there might be a Doper or two in attendance at [Philcon](http://www.philcon.org/2005/) (major science fiction/fantasy/etc. fest). I’m already pencilled in for coffee with **Rysler** on Sunday – anyone else gonna be around and want to get together? Saturday is Dope the Halls, so I wasn’t planning to come in that day, but could if the incentives were right … 😉

Timing will be an issue, and so will getting ahold of me, since I don’t have a cellphone and won’t be bringing my laptop. But I’ll be at Philcon all weekend, and I have yet to meet a Doper in the flesh; I’d be delighted to get together.

You should come to one of our dinners sometime. Or we could have coffee some other time, since you’re local – but whatever.

The current status of my plan is that there’s a session I want to catch at 1:00 Sunday – Science Under Siege – so think I’ll be meeting **Rysler** sometime after that –

Email me – I’ll give you my phone number.
