I have not talked with you in a long time. I saw you mentioned Mew earlier, how is she doing? I tried to see if there was a thread, but could not find anything, I am new to this forum. You knew me in a previous life as someone called sugarbee :o)
Just thinking about ya, lost all my emails and such in the big crash before Christmas.
Woo Hoo – JustDonna welcome to Straight Dope! I’ve missed you, girlfriend! I’m sorry I didn’t see this post until now. Your email is disabled in your profile, so I hope you see this here.
Mewkitty’s doing GREAT, especially for a 19 year old kitty with kidney failure that was diagnosed over 2 years ago. Wouldn’t it be just awesome if you could make it to SoCal, meet Miss Mew and come to this dopefest? (HINT, HINT!) You can email me at jill61 at surfcity dot net. {Big Hugs}
And as for the dopefest… Thomas is now officially on nights, but has been told that his night shift partner and the company are flexible if he ever wants to swap nights in the event there’s something he has planned that conflicts with his shift. Therefore, his schedule won’t affect our ability to come and I’ll re-submit my previous vote for the weekend of June 14[sup]th[/sup]/15[sup]th[/sup].
I think I’m scheduled to work on Habitat for Humanity on the 13th. But I can probably make it on the 14th. You can each buy me some birthday alcohol (only a couple of days late).

It seems pretty much a done deal that we’ll do Sunday Gospel Brunch at Lips the following day.
I’d also suggest a Saturday daytime activity - maybe Legoland? Or the Zoo? Or SeaWorld? Or the Wild Animal Park?
And whatever places we don’t hit this time we’ll save for San DiegDopefest III!
SeaWorld sounds like fun, but I’m also a member of the Zoo, so I can at least get one person in free with me. Sadly, I have a whole bunch of free passes, but they expire May 31.
I’d like to vote for Corvette, since I’ve never been there. But I’m concerned about getting in - do they accept reservations? I’ve heard it can get pretty crowded. Providing that’s not a problem, that’s my choice.
But the other two are just fine, and I won’t be disappointed with any of them.
I like June 14th also! Astrogirl should be here by then… and getting acclimated, so she’ll be able to join us.
Oh! And SeaWorld sounds fun, too. I haven’t been there yet. I did go to the Wild Animal Park with Greg a couple of weeks ago and that was fun. (Hey! Speaking of which: I found a baseball cap in my car which I thought must belong to my friend D, but he says it isn’t his… did you leave a hat in my car, Greg? It just occured to me that it might be yours.)
Two weeks too soon for me to attend. I work the Ren Faire here, and we close June 22nd. My weekends are booked solid until after then. Someone have a mimosa for me at Lips.
