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? 😕

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…
