That was friggin’ delicious. Plus, after **Asimovian’s** recommendation, I picked up a bunch of tamales at Liliana’s off the eastside Gold line. Yum! ---

Sorry I couldn’t make it , you guys. I started getting sick on Friday, thought I could make it, turns out I couldn’t. Hope y’all had fun, and that the dim sum was delicious (still sad 'cause I’ve never gone there, and I lost my chance.:() Maybe next time. ---

Hope y’all had fun, and that the dim sum was delicious (still sad 'cause I’ve never gone there, and I lost my chance.:() Maybe next time. What do you mean, lost your chance? We’re still here, the dim sum’s still here – just because it wouldn’t be an “official” Dopefest doesn’t mean there aren’t those of us who would love to have a second go at it! ---

I’ll try to get in contact with Daryll Lict and ctywkr to see if they would be willing to share their photos. Silver Tyger Girl has already given me permission to repost her pictures on my site. I’m not trying to hog pictures, but I’m willing to host them if people want me to. I plan on trying to create an archive of Dopefest thread links and Dopefest photo links. Shayna has already given me some URLs that show old LA Dopefest photos (see the SDMB Photo gallery thread) and I’ll have links to those. ---

Well, my pictures came out horrible. The phone in the droid has a learning curve I guess. I sent them to **Arnold** anyway. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/socal-dopefest-empress-pavillion-sunday-dec-13-11am/515794.md?page=6)
