Just to keep things interesting, the wife and I are going to offer as door prizes at this Dopefest: a jar of our special Cumin-Cured olives, a jar of bourbon-infused cherries, and a bottle of whiskey from our collection. Each attendee gets a number, and the drawing will be held at the end of the Fest. Additional numbers will be made available on a first-come, largest bribe basis. 😃 ---

Wait… Costa Mesa? That’s not too off the path from my place. I don’t think I could avoid this, even though I don’t post here much anymore. I’ll just follow **silenus** ’s shirt. 🙂 ---

Just a confirmation. I’m quite settled in Atascadero, and looking forward to the 27th. I may even be working by then. Two weeks, people. Silenus, that ‘e’ in whisky was a typo, right? ---

Depends. I actually have 2 bottles to raffle off. One with an “e” and one without. The Crown Royal was a gift from a parent who didn’t know any better. The single-malt is a bottle of 18-year-old [Linkwood](http://www.bruichladdich.com/m6pdfweb/m6link83.pdf), bottled by Murray McDavid. 😃 ---

I’ll be glad to meet and speak with your honeyed bourbon, fond as I am of my Islays. After all, one man’s mead is another man’s person. ---

I once made a ginger honey wine I called “Cyrus the Great.” Because one man’s Mede is another man’s Persian. ---

I hope to attend. Unless I poop out at the last minute! Anyone from San Diego want to car pool? Shall we coordinate our attire? Hawaiian shirts everyone? Tin foil hats? Clogs? ---

Not so sure now. I already committed to taking the Princess and the Diva to the LA Times Festival of Books on Saturday, as there will be Disney Channel personalities present, plus the Diva’s mom will not be returning from her honeymoon till Sunday. If it’s Sunday, I can probably find a ride, but that’s kind of iffy. I’ll let you guys know for sure on Friday. ---

[QUOTE=Encinitas] Shall we coordinate our attire? Hawaiian shirts everyone? Tin foil hats? Clogs? [/QUOTE] If we all wear hawaiian shirts, won’t that confuse the standard \*\*Silenus \*\* identification system? I mean, that’s how **BraheSilver** was going to find the place. ---

I’m in _and_ I have a Hawaiian shirt. Oh, and **Lucky13** , it is Sunday afternoon. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/socal-dopefest-spring-2008/437629.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/socal-dopefest-spring-2008/437629.md?page=9)
