I’m going to make every effort to be there the 28th. ---

Well, I still don’t know who’s thinking of what date, but I’ll stand by what I’ve posted. We are now in the daily bump shadow. Help me along, folks! ---

Feel free to contradict me if I am mistaken, but it seems that the concensus is the 28th of November at 4:00 at Joe’s Crab Shack on Richmond Ave. I have two questions for y’all: 1. I live in the Clear Lake area and don’t get into Houston proper very often. What is the nearest cross-street on Richmond where the Crab Shack is? 2. Since this will be my first ever HouDopeFestTM, how will I recognize you (carnations in our lapels, beating the ignorant with a 2x4,…)? I look forward to meeting everyone. Aaron ---

I believe the closest cross-street is Greenridge, which is between Fountainview and Hillcroft. Not sure how we’re supposed to recognize each other; this is my first Dopefest too. ---

It’s Joe’s Crab Shack@ 6218 Richmond Avenue, Houston, TX 77057, (713) 952-5400. I wasn’t sure a consensus had been reached in choosing between the 27th and 28th, but I’ll now go for the 28th. Don’t go there lookin’ for me on the 27th (unless you tell me here that’s the only day of the two that you can attend - then I’ll make it a twofer). For IFF, we’ve used a table sign in the past. ---

Bump! Can we get a headcount of those planning to attend? I’ll be there. ---

Another bump. Here’s the details for the Page 2 readers: Sunday, November 28, 4:00 pm Joe’s Crab Shack at 6218 Richmond Ave. It appears at this time everyone is planning on Sunday. Is there anyone unable to make it Sunday (as opposed to Saturday)? ---

Unsure if I’ll be able to make it, but I shall certainly try. It’s high time I attended one of these shindigs, I think. ---
