This is a new thread, branching off from [Esprix’s original thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=51167). **Anniz** and I are coming to Philadelphia on the weekend of the 26th of January for a concert on Saturday night the 27th. A Dopefest has been proposed for Saturday afternoon. This is the new thread to discuss that Dopefest, and to make a roll call of who will be there. Based on the original thread, it appears that the following people will be there: **Montfort Anniz jb\_farley MannyL Duke Hedra** (?) **rocking chair** (?) At this time, the proposed meeting place is at Jim’s Steaks, at 4th and South Streets. The time of meeting is still subject to debate, but I’m suggesting noon or 12:30pm. Anyone else want to come? Any ideas on a change of time or venue? Speak now, or forever hold your peace. ---

I’d come, but I don’t know how much fun hanging out with a 17 year old girl who never even posts would be. ☹ ---

**Montfort** –checking in to show you I got here to the States in one piece. Also saw your Eagles play pretty well in the wild-card game–congrats. To those interested in coming who are fans of Penn and Teller–P&T are playing in Philly between 23-27 January. A friend of mine and I are planning to go, so, if any of you want to go too, drop me a line and I’ll get ticket info etc. See you all soon. ---

**Duke** : Welcome to the other side of the pond. Looking forward to meeting you this month. And, don’t congratulate the **Eagles** yet, they still have the New Jersey Giants to get through, and then the Vikings/Saints, and then finally the Ravens/Titans/Dolphins/Raiders. And, **AndYrAStar** , it’ll be lots of fun. Come along. Bring a friend. ---

Just to bookend **AndYrAStar** , I don’t know how much fun it would be to hang around a 43 yr old guy, but I will buy the first round, as soon as I can get there. How about putting me down as a maybe. And those **Eagles** had a great season. Dave ---

Eh… maybe I’ll grace you all with my presence. Look for the short girl with bright red spikey hair and a big nose because i won’t be able to recognize any of you. 😛 I may or may not be with a tall bolivian with an afro who resembles Lurch or another short girl with long, not-so-bright red hair. And call me Andy. If you try to pronounce my username and don’t do it correctly, I will be forced to slap you. ---

**AndYrAStar** : Look for [these two people](http://chanceofrain.com/pix/sweden/007.JPG). In case you need a clue, that’s **Anniz** and I. We’ll be sure to leave you and **MannyL** alone so you can, uh, get to know each other. 🙂 ---

I’ll look for you, but chances are i’ll be too scared and will sit down by myself, so if you see me, say something. \ And I am now a short girl with a big nose, bright red spikey hair and really, really screwed up bangs. Trying to cut your hair with plastic safety scissors isn’t too smart. ---

I might be there if I have off work. I’m supposed to get a weekend off this month, and so far I’m scheduled for every goddamn weekend, so will see. Since Philly’s only an hour away, I might be there. Looking forward to seeing ya’ll! I can regal Anniz with my IKEA Swedish - Morgonstjarna? Djarkvlocka! Gertrud! Solvanda! Strandacker! Deci, bas, slugis! Should be fuuuun! 🙂 ---
