Swung by, was late as hell, said hi to a few folks, missed some others. Everyone was cool except that one dude who described chocolate as “vile.” What a crazy person. ---

Isn’t he just? Definitely a great Dopefest, although I’m afraid that Yard House may feel we overstayed our welcome. 😛 ---

So that means there were only two women at any one time. Had a good time, though; great to meet you all. And it’s true: I really never had seen calimari before. Like I said, my tastes are plebeian and that’s the way it is. ---

I can put up with a person calling chocolate vile, but people who don’t want a Dopefest at Roscoe’s because they don’t like chicken and waffles? That just seems unpatriotic! The next Dopefest needs to involve chicken and calimari on chocolate waffles. ---

Glad everyone had a good time. I spent 3 hours at the vets Saturday with one of my cats and unfortunately couldn’t make it. Maybe next year . . . ---

We are NOT waiting until next year to do this again. I mean, unless you just meant sometime in 2011. But it’ll be before October! Chocolate waffles? Just shoot me. ---

We should setup fixed dates to do them every year. Maybe 4 times a year or something. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/socal-dopefest-in-october/553663.md?page=7)
