[QUOTE=Bear\_Nenno] I’m very superficial, so I’m gonna say “Whichever looks cooler” [/QUOTE] I’ll bring the 1 ERHG coin–it’s physically bigger and does look a little ‘cooler’. Tripler Aforementioned coin has no cash value. But it will get you free beers. ---

Is anyone going to be in Atlanta earlier than 7pm? I’m thinking about getting to Atlanta early and having lunch in little Korean district somewhere. Also, is everyone driving home afterwards, or what? I think I might be staying in a hotel somewhere and maybe going to a club or something. ---

I am going to ATL either the night before or Saturday morning (if I decide not to go to the Poison concert. Yeah baby, \*that \* Poison). I may be doing some family stuff, but more than likely not so even though I can’t commit to anything I’ll keep it in mind. I’ve never had Korean food before. I had to get my husband to explain the military coin thing to me this weekend. Interesting. Post or drop me an email if you’d like. Also - I will be going out afterward dinner, I’m just not sure where yet. I have a weekend away from my lovely, adorable and annoying children so I want to have some adult beverages and smoke a few cigarettes. ---

I make no promises, but if I can get off work early enough, I may try to swing by and meet everyone. -Belz ---

I’ll prolly grab a hotel room too, but I’m not a nightclub kind of guy, but more of a bar kind of guy. Or, I could just do what I always do: sleep in my truck. 😃 Tripler It’s called a “bed” for a reason. ---

I’m just going to bump this since we’re _ **LESS THAN 48 HOURS AWAY!** _. Yes, I’m sure a DopeFest needs all the advertising it can get at some points. But c’mon. . . I’m bringing the toque! What more do you need?!? Tripler Yup. Steak & a Commie Toque. ---

I’ve got to do a pet-sitting visit that evening, but we’re still planning to come. Save us a seat, cuz we might be late! ---

Hey all! Got an email about this (working for the Feds has sadly reduced my Doping time - can’t noodle around at work). So I’ll be dragging my poor, hungover ass along as well. Can’t wait to see everyone! P.S. Girl’s night out: be very, very careful. Holey cow. ---

Hey! I just wanted to post and say “Thanks!” to everyone! Even though it was just dinner, I had a blast! I mean, where else besides a DopeFest can you see a real, live break-in _in progress_?!? Good times indeed. Tripler I finally made it home about 2:30AM. ---

Don’t forget photographing said break-in! I’ll post pictorial delights later on today, after I get up. I just now got home. Cowtipper’s was a great choice, the tilapia was great and the shower - bracing! ---

That’s what we get for having small children–sounds like we missed all the fun! I’m looking forward to hearing more about this excitement. It was great seeing everybody and meeting some of y’all, but too bad we didn’t get to talk more with some of you. I propose we do a picnic/BBQ-type 'fest where we can all mingle a little more. ---

I had a great time meeting everyone. The food was good, the company was great and the service was…flirtatious. It sounds like the entertainment got even better after I left. I hope someone will kindly give details because it sounds very exciting. -Belz ---

[QUOTE=OpalCat] The break-in had me very nervous. I had a great time seeing friends again and meeting new ones! Let’s do it again sooner this time! [/QUOTE] Yeah, it’s like I was telling you and Natalie: “Hrm, let me break into this house across from the strip club. O! But there are two lovely ladies strolling down the street, as innocent as all git-out! Methinks I shall go mug them. . .” But I still think me and **Bear** are gonna see our faces on some “WANTED” posters around Atlanta in the very near future. Tripler Stip Club Bouncer to 9-1-1: “Yeah, there’s six people out front of the place, trying to break in!
