Since MPSIMS readers might not have seen the thread [here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=440508&page=1&pp=50)  
and because this is the usual place to announce Dopefests:

We announce a dopefest tonight, 11/13 6:30 pm in honor of **Bobotheoptimist** visiting San Jose.

We’ll meet at 6:30 in the lobby of his hotel the DoubleTree by the airport, 2050 Gateway Place. We’re probably going to Japantown for sushi, but we’re not that organized.

Please see the linked thread for the history of this dopefest - this is to alert those not aware.

Thank goodness I finally got out of the office. I’ll be in the lobby at 6:30, just look for the guy with a shirt and pants. Also, no hat.

Just 4 showed up, but the raw fish was good, the beer was big, and the other 3 brought a personality (each).  
**Blondebear** also brought a loaf of bread on which I’ve been snacking and hope will last me through the flight tomorrow. You rock, man.

My first Dopefest, we haven’t had one in Denver for a while IIRC. I’ll definitely look up **Voyager** , **GaryGnu** and **blondebear** if I make it out again. Maybe I’ll even print up some 3x5 cards with interesting comments on them, since (as I’ve long suspected) very few people are interested in fibre channel or firearms.
