Continuing from [the planning thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168401), we have decided on the following[sup]1[/sup]:
**San DiegDopefest II (south)**
Saturday, June 14:
7:00 p.m.
Dinner at [Corvette Diner](http://sandiego.citysearch.com/profile/90943)
3946 Fifth Avenue (between University and Washington), San Diego, CA 92103
(619) 542-1476
_Moderately priced menu, 50’s style American dining_
Sunday, June 15:
11:00 a.m.
“Sunday Gospel Brunch” at [Lips](http://sandiego.citysearch.com/profile/92232) (also [here](http://www.tootie.com/lips/))
2770 Fifth Avenue (between Nutmeg & Olive), San Diego, CA 92103
(619) 295-7900
_I’ll check on the exact price of brunch - I seem to remember it’s around $25_
Afterwards - Possible excursion to [Sea World](http://www.seaworld.com/seaworld/ca/)
1-day ticket is $44.95 (San Diego residents might consider getting a Fun Card - same price, but gives you entry for the rest of the year)

That’s the Saturday after school is out. I’m pretty sure I can make it. It’ll be fun!

Barring any financial difficulties or Acts of God (or Boss), **JustPlainBryan** and I shall be there.
By the way, the Lips brunch was about $14 (IIRC), but you end up spending the $25 on throwing them tips. 🙂

I was at Lips not too long ago and I seem to recall that the brunch was closer to $15.00

Already had that link, **Edwardina** , but it didn’t have the exact price. I’ll give them a call to confirm. Cheaper is better. 🙂

I should be able to be in. I hope. Presuming there are no other conflicts. 🙂

Well, unfortunately **cadolphin** and I won’t be able to make it. I’m starting my new entertainment business and I’m booked for that weekend.
Y’all have fun and we’ll catch you next time around!

If I have a car I’ll try to come down. I haven’t been following the threads. Are any BADs or North Cali Dopers driving down? I’ll pay for gas.

I’m going to try and rearrange my work schedule on Sunday so that I can see the brunch spectacle. That sounds too good not to go.
I’ll check back in once I get coverage for myself.

**scout** : I highly suggest coming to brunch. It _is_ too good to miss.
**Esprix** : We may bring our little **Mercutio** along with us, too, so put him on the Maybe list.

Somebody said something about putting me up for the night?
Otherwise, can someone suggest a place I can park my car and sleep safely? 😉

Count me in.
I’d rather bring my surfboard and get in the water afterwards.
(I’ve been to Sea World way too many times)
if anyone needs a ride from San Diego North County, let me know.

So how does a first-timer get in on one of these. I picture myself rolling into the Corvette and sort of looking around for a while. I’m not sure what I’d be looking for, though. I don’t want to intrude, but you do seem like intelligent, funny folks.
What’s the introduction protocol for a first time fester? (No jokes allowed there.) Do tell. It always sounds like fun…

Put me in the ‘Can’t Be There’ column. And someone have some extra fun for me.
