To be strictly accurate, I’d prefer Pasadena, but I can make any of the venues and locations listed. ---

Well if it makes it less close, my preference is now the 14th over the 27th by a good bit, so take my vote off the 27th (28th too). ---

My vote, late at this point, would be Pasadena on the 27th. But odds are that I’ll attend whenever and wherever. ---

Good Lord. I’ve been known to kill a thread or two in my day, but a Dopefest thread? I apparently don’t know my own strength. Bump, in case you’re all still recovering from Memorial Day hangovers. ---

Yep, I hate being the last to post in a thread too. It makes me wonder if something I said killed it. ---

Maybe it was ORDAINED by the GODS that this thread die! Did you ever think of that? But, by gum, I’m not one to let the Gods tell me what to do.

My vote was going to be for the 14th which would put the 14th in the lead. Shall we make it the 14th then? Don’t hesitate to PM or e-mail any SoCal Dopers you know of to let them know about this thread. I’ll send out a few PMs tonight. ---

We should probably call a date before we die of inertia. 14th would be good for me. ---

I’m interested! There are a few of us in Santa Barbara who might want to come, but points south of L.A. get to be quite a drive. Are Santa Monica or West L.A. being considered? SM has a pub. Just sayin’… ---

There are quite a few folks who are simply unable to make it that far south. I’ll see about planning a get-together shortly afterward for folks who are unable to get down to Orange County, and hopefully we’ll have some crossover.
