SF Bay Area Dopefest Update II

We still need responses for the December second party in Pleasanton. So far we have official replies from;

[li]Snoopy[/li]
[li]Sassy[/li]
[li]Pepperlandgirl[/li]Please respond with an email that contains your evening telephone number and the number of guests to expect so that we can verify your attendance. Cameran and I have chosen a Mexican food theme. I’ll be making salsas and taco meats. Please let us know what food you would be able to bring. We also need a volunteer for a designated driver who can pick up people arriving by BART. The station is only one mile away from my friend’s house. I want to thank everyone in advance for replying in this fashion. Since my friend has never met any of you she is taking me at my word that you are all civilized folks (insert hysterical laughter here).

If you have posted in any of these various threads, please email me with your reply immediately. The invites need to go out right away!
We still need to hear from:

[li]Sue Duhnym[/li][li]tshirts[/li][li]tradesilicon[/li][li]stuffinb[/li][li]oldscratch[/li][li]slackergirl[/li][li]Jack Batty[/li][li]pugluvr[/li][li]SeaDiver[/li][li]pricciar[/li][li]Doobieous[/li][li]Kyla[/li][li]wevets[/li][li]Punoqllads[/li][li]archiveguy[/li][li]whitelightning[/li]
and anyone else who is interested in attending what is sure to be a blast!

I’m there.

I think we can add Rasa as a tenative, that is if her friend Liam does his job correctly.

I’m trying to figure out the logistics. Mrs. Batty has school all day that day, so she won’t be able to attend. I’ve got the time, but possibly not the transportation. I’m about an 85 percent probably at the moment.

Sorry Zenster!

This is just a public service announcement. If I turn up missing for a few days, you’ll know where to find me–oldscratch is enlisting the help of a friend of mine that lives in SF to kidnap me from Rhode Island. Plans are in the making.

Allow me to mention that the party’s location is in Pleasanton, CA. This is at the junction of highways 580 and 680, with easy access to BART.

Please email me right away with your replies.

Rasa, we look forward to having you attend. Please email me and we may be able to hook you up with some transportation.

For those of you who are reading this thread but not quite carefully enough:

Please email me with an evening telephone contact number!

The information provided will be used for the purpose of this party and NO other. You have my word on that. We need to get these invitations out soon, but I’m hoping that all of you will get it together so that we will have some major fun. Please respond ASAP.
PS: If you wish to be included on my music mailing list, please indicate so in your email.

All,

I see the mundane iterative postings of our ZENSTER begging you all to sign-up and make a commitment for this DOPEFEST 2000.

“I HAVE GIVEN MY HOUSE” what more do you want?

Now I had heard that you were a bit of a party group but I am a little worried.

Must I create some sort of draw to bring you all out for a little good fun and good food.

Shall I make this a salsa “COOK OFF” or something even more festive.

Suggestions warranted. If you open your mouth, I expect you to be at my house in December.

I’d love to come but I’m committed to a neighbor’s suprisse 40th birthday party that evening.

I’m supposed to come dressed like a Jimmy Buffett song. My husband and I toyed with the idea of him going as a cheeseburger and me as paradise, but he didn’t like the idea of wearing buns on his head.

Instead he’s going as Elvis (“Elvis Impersonators”) and I’m going as Carmen Miranda (“They Don’t Dance Like Carmen No More”).

It should be fun, but I know it won’t be nearly as interesting as a DopeFest.

My regrets.

I’ll bring the deluxe extended dance mix version of “Who Let The Dogs Out!” along with a copy of “The Macarena” so the party will have plenty of happening tunes.

I need to know the hours of this lil shindig before I can commit. There is an open house in the city from noon to 3 that day that I really want to attend. If arriving after 3 isn’t too outre, I will definitely be there.
And for food, I can bring my specialty: Tortilla chips, Salsa and a Six-Pack. Nothing but the best for my friends.

Hi Jack! (Never shout that in an airport.) Just to let you know that after three is fine. Save your pennies for the beer fund as there will be plenty of food on hand already. (Plus you’ll travel lighter too.)

I went out to Pleasanton to visit Camster at her house and I’ve got to say it’s a really nice place to have a party. She and I have decided to wait until we have at least ten solid replies on this before going forward. The good news is that we are almost there already.

One slight change:
The party’s starting time is now 2:00 PM
Please bring homemade salsas with you as we are going to have a salsa tasting and there will be a prize for the winner. Neither Cam or I could come up with a better reason to swill massive quantites of beer. There will be a taco and burrito bar set up for general noshing as well. Please try to bring foods in a Mexican theme, but it is not mandatory.

We still need a designated driver to shuttle people to and from the BART station. Your gasoline will be paid for. The party location is quite easy to find and is only one mile from the freeway and BART.

The rest of you, please email me immediately with your evening telephone number so that Cam and I can get the invites out. Anyone else who is so inclined, please email me and get on board the party train!

I’ll do the designated driving. I’m pretty much into drinking Coke anyway.

I am moving into my rental that weekend and can’t make it. Sorry.

Hi,

I may have to come late, but I will be there. I will also be happy to take a shift as the designated driver if we get a bigger BART crowd.

Sorry I missed the last SF Dopefest.

I can make this one, though. Please send me the details. Thanks.

I shall be there! I’ll be arriving in San Jose late 11/29 night, but oldscratch and I shall wind our way out to San Fran for the Dopefest.

California here I come!

Sorry guys I’m now officially out! I’ll be in SoCal that weekend and the next week. :frowning: Send Pix!

Pleasanton! I meant Pleasanton! It’s all the same, isn’t it?

That’s it Rasa. I’m driving. Jeez, damn provincial East Coasters.
