I’d like to join in on this carpool too. If I remember correctly, I live minutes from Antinor. ---

That might be best. I will be out at the track in the AM and then could be called at any time for a problem, so I could not guarantee that I will even be there for the dopefest. Hopefully nobody will do anything stupid with the cars, and I can just hang out. 😉 ---

Sounds good to me. maybe I can get the SO to finally come to one since it’s close. ---

If anyone is coming from the OC/Long Beach area, please let me know, as I would like to carpool with you. Otherwise, I can take the train there. ---

I know for sure I won’t be driving down. Laurie Anderson is making a rare appearance in an intimate setting in San Francisco and I managed to snag a ticket. I’m sure you’ll all have fun regardless. ---

> [@Pasta](#): > > Anywhere in Pasadena on the 23rd works for me. For the sake of information, I called the Pasadena Yard House and asked about reservations. They said they only take a limited number of reservations but that a group of 15-20 people on Oct 23 should be no problem if we tell them far enough in advance. Snap out of it, people! It’s October, already! 🙂 So, is this, then, the final plan? October 23rd at the Yardhouse? If so, what time? ---

I’ll call the Yard House and make a reservation this coming Monday (the 10th) for a DopeFest on October 23. So… **What time would _you_ like the event to start?** I’ll take the responses posted by mid-day Monday and set up a reservation accordingly. (There’s no need to pick an end time, of course.) My response follows… ---

I’m happy with any start time from 4pm to 8pm. I’d make an appearance if the start time was 9pm, but I wouldn’t stay too long, probably. My ideal is probably a 6pm or 7pm start (so I could eat dinner there). ---
