Sometime in the last few months it was apparently mentioned in this forum that a Dopefest was scheduled for October, in the Redondo Beach area (Los Angeles County, about 15 miles south of downtown L.A.) But I couldn’t find a mention of it on the search engine. Have I looked in the wrong place? 
Nope, the thread got really really long, so here’s the condensed version: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=91329
Have fun. I’m jealous!
Yay! I win! I beat Pat to the punch! 
There was punch?
Yummy fruity punch?
And I missed that?
First Rasa posts first, then she drinks all of the punch. Strawberries!

Thanks to Pricciar and others.
I live in Gardena, on Western Avenue near Artesia Blvd. Who knows: maybe I live closer to that site than any other Doper…

Hope to see you there.
