Crankyspotting Dorkfest is Two Weeks Away


Just two weeks from tomorrow, it’s time for the annual Crankyspotting Dorkfest. For those who haven’t been before, this isn’t some big event with scheduled activites. It’s all about getting together, eating In ‘n Out, and of course, watching airplanes.

If you’re in LA, come to park across from the In ‘n Out Burger at 9149 S Sepulveda, just off the northeast end of the north runways at LAX. I’ll be there from 11a to 2p this year. We’ll grab a burger, talk shop, and just enjoy all the airplanes flying overhead. Hope to see you there.

    Any chance you could have one of these the next time you get out to the NYC area?

      Kilroy,
      It’s very rare that I go to NYC these days, but it’d be a lot of fun to do it next time I go.

        I’ll try to get there as well if you come to NYC.

    How about organizing one at the In-n-Out @ SJC? The less interesting traffic is offset by the proximity to my residence.

      Bill – Chances are if I did one up north, I’d do it at SFO instead.

        Hanger Steak House in the SFO Mariott. I am in…

        We should do a “NorCal dorkfest” at SFO, we can have a contest for the most 747s spotted, and the airplane from farthest away.

        Well, you can spot 28 inbounds from the El Torito.

    There’s a debate tournament on–doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make this year. That’s a pity.

    (At least this year, Brett, it isn’t during carmageddon.)

    How about a Dorkfest at Gravelly Point, DCA? Don’t forget to bring the In-N-Out.
