**Demo** and **psycat** - thanks for doing all the plannin’ and organizin’. Last I heard for Friday was “Buzz 9.” Is that still a go? I’ve been working late all the time for the past few weeks, and I’m way past due for getting 'faced. ---

YAHOOOOOOOO!!! My mommy told me I could be there. So looks like I’ll be up for the Friday night drink till you puke and the Saturday feast. ---

Nearly missed this! I’ll be there Saturday, and maybe Friday. (Tragic computer issues have kept me from checking in earlier.) Yay! ---

So what’s the dress code going to be like, I’m assuming ‘dress casual’. ---

The people I’ve seen at Bucca are generally dressed dress casual, like you said but frankly you could go CASUAL casual and it wouldn’t matter. 😉 ---

I solemnly swear that I will be wearing pants at the DopeFest. However, I make no promises about what part of my body they’ll be on. ---

I was thinking slacks, but now I’m thinking Kilt. My wife probably wouldn’t let me get away with it though. ---

Is there anywhere in the bay area where the dress code _isn’t_ “casual”? > [@Stuffy](#): > > I was thinking slacks, but now I’m thinking Kilt. My wife probably wouldn’t let me get away with it though. Sounds like you’d _need_ to wear a kilt, since she’s the one who wears the pants in that family. Hey, c’mon: I see a straight line, I make the obvious joke. 😉 ---

So, for people who are hanging out Friday night, psy and I have a _very_ tentative plan for that evening, and anyone’s welcome to join us. We should be checked into our hotel ([Phoenix Hotel](http://www.jdvhospitality.com/hotels/hotel/12)) by 7 or so. From there we’re going to probably head over to [Tommy’s Joynt](http://www.tommysjoynt.com/) for some grub and some brews(I’ve never been, for shame!) After that we thought we’d go check out [Wish](http://www.worldsbestbars.com/city/SanFrancisco/Wish.asp) for more drinks. If that turns out to be too lame/expensive/not our scene then we’ll probably just head over to Buzz 9 and get it warmed up for the Saturday crew. Or if you guys decide to hang somewhere else we’ll try to hook up with you. Or maybe we’ll just go back to our hotel room and drink. 😉 If anyone wants to hang out and is unsure when/where they’ll be able to hook up (and like I said, our plans are still very much up on the drawing board) email me (demo @ [spiralingshape.com](http://spiralingshape.com)) and we can exchange cell #s. ---

I see that this is a San Francisco based thing, AND I won’t even be in town, but I thought I’d mention that the 4th Annual Art & Soul Festival is going on all weekend in Oakland, and it looks like they have a pretty cool line-up, and they usually have good vendors, great food, etc. In case you all need any ideas to fill any extra time. Pretty easy to jump on BART and be there, it’s right across the water. Cheers, and have fun. http://www.artandsouloakland.com/main/index.htm ---

OK, we’re just about all set to head into the city after work tonight. Like Demo said, we’ll be out and about, but we’re not sure where. So, if anyone wants to get together tonight for a drink or two, shoot me an email at psycat90 @ [gmail.com](http://gmail.com) and we can exchange cell #s, or I can send mine off. Tomorrow - 6 PM at Buca. If there’s anyone that can’t make it to dinner, feel free to meet us at Buzz 9 later (9-ish to whenever?) tomorrow evening. See y’all tomorrow! ---

So, er… any word on tonight? I sent **psycat** an email around noonish, but haven’t heard back yet, and it’s almost eight… You guys aren’t ditching me, are you? ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sf-bay-area-dopefest/255009.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sf-bay-area-dopefest/255009.md?page=8)
