Ok, I’ve tried to put these together before, but it always fails. Now, I would like to try again.
I know there are a handful of Dopers in the Sacramento area.
We could get together at the Fox and Goose (they have Cider!) some quite afternoon and put some faces to some names. Maybe someone could take pictures and we could get some fun comments made at our expense by our fellow dopers.
C’mon, those Bay Area Dopers pull it off all the time. I know we can do as good.
Bump?
C’mon people.
Monster101? BearFlag? MuaDib?
Going once!
sigh
Going twice…
If I had a car I’d come up there myself (BAD here). Sorry I can’t help this time. I didn’t realize you were this close, Tristan, I’ve wanted to meet you before.
Hmm…this is actually possible, considering I work about 4 blocks from the F&G…
wow… I had almot given up hope.
White Lightning- I’m stunned. And flattered. Just out of curiousity, why?
ricepad- Well, hell. It may be just you and I… heheheh…
Tonite I’m going to try to dig up e-mails for the other Sacramento Dopers. I know there’s at least 2 others.
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=63383&highlight=Sacramento <---- this is my last almost successful Sac Dopefest thread.
I’ve gleaned some names, and I’m going to post them here, in the hopes that everyone does a vanity search like I do to keep up on threads.

I have no idea if all those folks still post. However, I will be dropping them e-mails as well… I’m sneaky like that.
Hopefully we can start setting the dates for this one more than a week before the actual date. I feel so stupid for failing to follow through on the last one.
Might be fun. I guess I have already given up most pretenses to true annonimity on the boards. Any excuse for a party is a good one.
Muad’Dib- Are you still working at that bar? If so, would you prefer the Fest to be held there?
I’m a sucker for “The Fox and Goose” myself, but that’s pretty much because they have Cider.
No, no, no. I do not want to give those folks any business, nor expose you good folks to it. “Fox and Goose” will be fine.
I still post (rarely). Thanks for the heads-up email. I’d like to join in…sounds like fun.
Woo Hoo!

That’s our list so far. Might only be the three of us, but we’ll wait just a little bit to see if anyone else chimes in. I know I wrote to 2 others…
Mmmmmm… cider and [sub]hopefully[/sub] good conversation.
Any BAD folks care to join us?
Beats me. Sorry, I know that answer isn’t very satisfying. Your name is just on that amorphous little list in my head of people that I’ve noticed before and that I’ve found interesting for one reason or another.
Hope you guys have a good time up there.
Got the email. Sounds good. Friday or Saturday evenings work better for me, but I’m booked on 2/21.
Some notice would be good so I can try to get my gf to show.
F&G sounds fine.
I’ll probably be dragging my girl with me as well…
alright, barring any other attendees, we may have something going on. When I get home, I’ll check a Calender to find a good day.
2/21 is out.
Any other suggestions? Preferences? I can do a Saturday, but I won’t be able to stay horribly late (working on Saturdays is lame).
Lunch or afternoons work best for me…I don’t live in Sacramento, and have a carpool to catch…eves tend to be pretty full, too.
Checkin in to see if things are still in the works…
Pretty much anytime on the weekends is good for me and the wife.
ricepad- whereabouts do you live, and is the weekends still decent for you?
I’m still in negotiations with the ex-wife and girlfriend to figure out a good time.
If this works out, we should have someone take pics and set up a geocities page or somesuch. I would do it, but my access is only at work at present.
I have no life what so-ever, so I am open to pretty much anytime.
