Nachos and Falcon, I do hope either one or both of you make it so I’ll have a familiar face there. This will be my second dopefest ever and of 2001. ---

Put me on the list as a “maybe.” It’s only a 4 hour drive from Massachusetts, so what the hell. 😉 ---

Just remember to keep all open sources of ignition at least 50 feet away from the both of them . . . Tripler And _I’ve_ got my helmet on . . . ---

What’s the nearest SEPTA station to 400 South Street? Failing that, is there nearby parking? **jb\_farley** , if you’re still interested, my friend got tickets for P&T for the Friday (26th). E-mail me if you want to know where he got them, though I’m afraid he may have gotten some of the last ones for that day. ---

Still a maybe, but the mass of Dopers may just cause me to show up by sheer gravitational pull. 🙂 Hope so… ---

i know the 48 bus goes to fourth and market. that’s about a 5-6 block walk to south. there must be some line that will get you closer, duke , where are you busing from? i’m still a bit of a maybe. ---

Less than four days to go, and I just wanted to remind folks that we’re meeting at noon on Saturday at the corner of 4th and South in Philly, to have lunch in Jim’s Steaks at that corner. Again, [here](http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?&addr=400+South+St.&csz=Philadelphia,+PA&country=us)’s a map with a link for directions to our meeting place. ---

I might just make this one. If I’m not all worn out. ---

Will there be post-lunch bar-hopping? As I’ve been offered a ride out of Center City I’m in the rare position of being able to drink in Philly… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Duke \* > **Will there be post-lunch bar-hopping?** **Anniz** and I will most likely not be able to do that. She’s going to need to rest her back for some time before we go out again that night. Sorry. ☹ But, the rest of you all can. ---

OK, there is a 90% chance of Geobabe for this shindig. Then Boston the following weekend…not like I have a chance of catching Falcon in number of Dopefests in different cities but I can sure have fun trying! ---

You’re all bastards, you know that, don’t you? 😛 Ah, well - at least there’s an LA Dopefest in February. Still, it’s not quite the same… And everybody make sure to pick on **hedra** for me, just 'cause. 😃 Esprix ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Geobabe \* > **OK, there is a 90% chance of Geobabe for this shindig.** Whoo! I was afraid that I lost my chance to meet Geobabe when I was too sick for Falc’s NYE bash. Now, I might meet her in Philly this weekend! ---

FTR, I am looking forward to meeting you and Anniz as well. :)🙂 ---

**PICK ON ME?** Now, what did I do? Oh, I know, I didn’t actually respond to your ‘gettin too much’ thread. I thought about it, really. But I just started getting competitive. I think my record could beat yours for endurance… 😉 Okay, _now_ people have something to pick on me about. If I show (which is still to be determined, but looks slightly more likely), I’m bringing my sure-fire picking-on-hedra preventative, one very cute 3-yr-old boy named Gabriel. He’ll turn into a knight-in-shining-armor and protect me. (he does that a lot) 🙂 ---

**Geobabe** : Yes, you’re on my list of posters I’d like to meet. **Anniz** has plans to keep me on a short leash around you, alas. 🙂 **hedra** : Pick on you? Sure. Why not? 😛 ---

With just a few days left before the big day I was wondering of someone would be so kind as to provide an updated attendance list.
