> [@blondebear](#): > > I’ll be wearing my “I LOVE IDAHO!” shirt. \ Alright, who invited this clown? 😃 We’re still planning to be at the Pied Piper at 6:00 tonight - if there are changes, we probably won’t see them since we’ll be out of our hotel all day today. Hopefully we’ll see all y’all tonight. 🙂 ---

Dinner was very good, the Palace is a gorgeous building, and it was a pleasure meeting some new Dopers. Thanks for the hospitality, **Roderick Femm** and **blondebear**! 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sf-bay-area-last-minute-dopefest/668679.md?page=1)
