Dear katrina- Thank you so much! Excellent food, fun restaurant, wonderful people and conversation! I had a really good time last night, and you made it all possible. You are a dollface, and I salute you! Scotti ---

Luvya, Dave- I wasn’t very scintillating, so I think most of those present will wonder why you feel this way. But, I appreciate your kind words! (((((((((Darling Monster 104)))))))))) ---

Don’t give me that, CandyBoi. You were invited. And you are invited again to the next one in Bellingham on November 18 if JohnneyLA can arrange his schedule to accomodate us. Stay tuned for updates. Scotti ---

**Monster 104 MysterEcks** You know honeydarlin’s…it occurred to me recently that literally all of my most favorite men have names that start with either M or D. Do you think I need D&M anonymous? Hmmmmmmmmmmm-Well, whilst I think about this, I should like to thank the two of you for wanting to meet me. I am so totally, COMPLETELY of the same opinion in reverse! And besides, the rest of the people at the PNW Dopefest were wonderful and you would have loved them too. Guaranteed! (((((((((Monster 104))))))))) (((((((((MysterEcks)))))))))) I don’t know when I have felt more loved. Thank you so much! ---

Thank you **katrina** for organizing a great get-together, and thank you **katrina, Cervaise, Niggle, rjk, Scotticher, pluto, ren, and lissener** (going around the table and really hoping that I didn’t skip anybody) for a great night, great conversation, and for making Mr. La and Tagalongs 1 and 2 feel part of the group. Mr. La says hi to everyone. That cake was fantastic. We were still talking about it yesterday. Oh, and **Scotti** , what do you mean you weren’t scintillating? 🙂 **Niggle,** the picture should be interesting 😉 I may have to find a way to log on from Nashville next week to check them out. We are very much looking forward to next time. ---

> [@](#): > > Ummm ren, > > I don’t want to be, like , PUSHY, or anything, but-ummmm- > > Can I come, too? Heck yeah! I didn’t get nearly enough chance to talk to y’all. (Man, it sure didn’t seem like 5 hours to me, I was SO surprised when I looked at the clock after getting back to my car!) The whole lot 'o ya can join! If we’d gotten our act together earlier in the year I’d a been shootin’ for a grillout at our place. Mebbe we can manage that next year after the rains stop… **JayLa** , will the tagalongs be posting here soon or did we scare them away? 🙂 > [@](#): > > Details? > Gossip? > Pictures?

Just wanted to add my thanks to **katrina** and **Cervaise** for a fine evening. Great bunch of folks, but, as noted, it’s hard to get to know everyone – there were lots of conversations going every which way all the time. I even got to sit next to **Scotti** (neener neener!) and still feel like there’s lots of catching up to do. ( **Scotti** , the concert was great!!) As for secrets – well, we promised **JayLa** that we would talk about her all this week since she was going to be away from the SDMB and couldn’t refute anything we said. I’ll start: She was very nice. Friendly and outgoing. And her husband and friends were a welcome addition to the group. Plus they had just come from cheering the Mariners on to victory. However – she did have trouble ordering just one drink!! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pnw-dopefest-thanks-katrina/36089.md?page=2)
