For anyone who missed it on the temp board, San DiegDopefest is STILL ON for Saturday, March 30 at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor and Restaurant on Mira Mesa Boulevard at 6:00 p.m. Things are being discussed to do during the afternoon for those in the area or who are coming down earlier.

VERY IMPORTANT: Because of the post December 7 deletions, the original thread has been _deleted_. Ergo, **I need to know who is planning to attend all over again!** Please post in this thread if you’re planning to attend.

Thank you! Looking forward to seeing everyone there! Woo hoo!

Firggin’ A, this new format will take some getting used to. But hey, I’m/we’re here!

Back to the OP–Esprix, count DeathLlama and I in.

OK! OK! Well, I’ll be there for one…

But, **Esprix** , can’t you just go back to the old site, and write down the names of the Dopers who responded to your thread there?

**Duke** , I will, but this is a “just in case” as people slowly find their way back.

**JustPlainBryan** and myself are planning on being there. It will most likely only be for dinner, as I will be working that morning.

I look forward to seeing all you crazy kids again.

I think the plan was for us “cool” people to all carvan down there in Bryan’s SUV. So, I’m still in for that.

Consider me there. Especially if Celtic “Turtle” Cowboy is going. I like him very much so.

I will definetly be there. If Java doesn’t go earlier, I’ll head down with Morph and Nym.

For once they wouldn’t be going out of their way.

Living in the South Bay comes in handy for once.

Hi,

Encinitas checking in again. Still planning on attending the San DiegDopefest on the 30th with the plastic bunny ears.

Geez…I thought I’d never miss the temp board but you know…:rolleyes:

I would love to be there, and I’ll be in San Diego up until THE DAY BEFORE! Argh!

So, until someone decides to do another VegasDopefest I’m afraid I’m out. ☹

Darn it! **Shayna** will now officially not be there. ☹ Something about planning a wedding in St. Louis. Can’t you plan all this online? Come on, Shayna, you can go to the dopefest, and when the time comes, just hop to Vegas and let Elvis marry you in a drive-thru wedding chapel! It’s just as romantic! 😛

Yeah, not so much. As a lot of people know, I’ve been trying to get back to Chicago to pick up my stuff for a couple of months now. Looks like I might actually get to go next week.

It’s not that I don’t love you all and dream every night of seeing you again, it’s more like I REALLY want a change of underwear. Not to mention my dawg, my BMW I only got to drive for like a week before abondoning it, my bed, my giant buttplug…you understand.

I won’t speak for Morphy, but I’m 90% sure I have to bow out.

**Shayna** isn’t coming to my first Dopefest? Well! I never! Harumph! Harumph, I say again! And harumph a third time!

:mad:

And **Nym** , dear, San DiegDopefest is MARCH 30

I agree, **Esprix,** but for some reason, she has her heart set on making these wedding plans and I can’t change her mind! What can you do?

Mmmmph. I apologize for my lack of clarification, I just figured no one cared that much.

The trip is more like: Fly to Chicago around the 19th, spend the week packing my Chicago stuff, fly to Minneapolis that weekend, spend the weekend packing my Minneapolis stuff, put that stuff and my dawg in my car, drive back to Chicago, see some friends, maybe stay for ChiDope, rent UHaul pack all clothes, furniture, dawg and car in/onto UHaul, drive back to LA.

It’s not exactly a quick trip I’m planning here. It will probably take a minimum of two weeks and I might take three, just to make sure I don’t snap and kill someone in the middle of the process.

Think of me when you’re face-deep in ice cream-y goodness.

Two people I’d have loved to visit with again, Esprix and Heloise…

Yes, I’m still alive. Life has been interesting, I think I’m the busiest unemployed person I know of. Would like to join y’all, but I will have to refrain from travel for the time being… ☹
