Training for my new job is going ok but it is time consuming, only now I have a chance to reply that I’ll be there also. Looking forward to May. Here is what MapQuest returns when I ask for all the doper’s locations: û 😃 ---

I’ll bump this for no other reason to subscribe to the thread in case anyone else posts. BTW I sent an email inviting everyone to a couple of things, easter service at our church and to watch a night shoot may 10. ---

Friendly reminder, the Dopefest’s this weekend. **Cisco** – found your way around the valley? **Phlosphr** , still going to be in town? **flight** – do you know if your spare day is this Saturday? **DaToad** , is your calendar still free? Everyone else – still planning on coming? Another nifty note – looks like the Houston Dopefest is at the same time. ---

Ok, I’m going to try my best to make it tomorrow. I assume a lot of you have met in person before? For those of us that haven’t -how will we find you? Table for Cecil Adams? ---

I was afraid of this, the scheduling in my new job put me to work this Saturday. There could be a chance I get out early, but I think by 5:00 pm everything will be over then at Los Dos Molinos. It looks like the perfect streak of not meeting Padeye will be maintained… Have a good time everyone, I hope in the next occasion I have the time. -Ed. ---

Well we won’t be in the same getup but here’s a recent [mug shot](http://padeye.net/w/wedding2/Dsc_0050.jpg) of TheLadyLion and myself. Gigobuster, drop me a note off the board. Something coming up next week you may find interesting. ---

**Cisco** , I don’t have any really recent photos (I think the last time I was photographed was when **Padeye** got a new camera back in 2001! :eek: ), but you can just go randomly up to groups and ask if they’re Dopers – that’s how I first found them! **GIGObuster** – oh man! So sorry to miss you this time and I hope to see you again soon! Sounds like the job’s keeping you busy. **Padeye & TheLadyLion** – barring anything major, see you tomorrow, and that’s a beautiful wedding photo! ---

I’ll hold up a sign like the ones at the airport that says **Cisco** , how’s that? 😃 ---

I still have to dodge my brother for the rest of the day. Hmmm, he’s not awake yet, should I go reserve us a table now? 🙂 ---

Actually, I called them a few weeks ago and they said there should be no problem at this time even if we just show up, they aren’t usually busy at 2 pm. But if you’d like to call them as a friendly reminder, sounds like a good idea! Oh, you know, you can bring your brother too! 😃 _making her **Cisco** sign right now_ ---

According to [this](http://www.netmio.com/city/phoenix/cityguide/detail/0,1228,CI14-LGen-ID85299,00.html) website lunch is from 11am to 2:30pm and dinner is from 5pm to 9pm. Does that mean they’re closed between 2:30 and 5? Sorry if that sounds like a stupid question but there are a few resturants back home that close between lunch and dinner. Don’t know if that is a common practice :). ---

Greetings Phoenix Dopefest! And a courtesy bump from another 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 3rd Dopefest (Houston). Hi **lel**! Hi **Padeye**! Hi **Mauvaise**! Y’all have fun! [sub]I’m shameless.[/sub] ---

Good catch…they are in fact closed 2:30 - 5 Tuesday - Friday, but they are open all day on Saturdays, according to their answering machine. So it’s still on! By the way, I love this **Cisco** sign so far. 🙂 ---

If you’re really going to hold up that sign it won’t be hard to find me. Just look for the tall goofy looking guy with the really **red** face :D. ---
