Had a pleasant little mini dopefest, with **amarinth, Scotticher, AudreyK, KKB** and special honored guest **tisiphone**. **Amarinth** had to do the quick drop by, so we (being **amarinth, Scotticher** and I) went to Starbucks for a quick latte and chat. After we returned to **tisiphone’s** hotel (to meet **tisiphone** , who was in a class) we were in the lobby, waiting for **AudreyK** and **KKB** , when who should walk through the lobby but Dr Demento!!! He’s in town, doing shows in Kirkland today (12/6) and tomorrow. He didn’t have time to chat, unfortunately, but he did answer when I hailed him, and seemed to be a (rushed) gentleman. Then after **AudreyK** and **KKB** showed up (30 seconds after the good Dr.'s van pulled out), we all adjourned to the local Keg restaurant for a pleasant meal, and about 3 hours of chatting. Laid back and wonderful. Thanks again to **Scotticher** for setting up the Dopefest (and the wonderful ornaments!), and it was great to see everyone again, and to meet **amarinth and tisiphone**. Tis - have a safe flight back to the Yukon. Your pictures of the area were fantastic - I have GOT to get up there someday! ---

It wasn’t a positive ID, but we may have seen him at the Starbucks we went to after dinner. 😃 ---
