Now that, my friends, sounds like a party! I’m good to go.
Fuck. This was on the second page. How did you guys let that happen? I’m in for the 12th at the Northeast Brewing Company, at 1900. It looks like Nen, myself, TMR, Tymp, CalMeacham, and Robot Arm are committed. That’s only six. Certainly enough for a good time, but not enough to be a true DopeFest. Where are the others? Sign up now!
Probably me but I’m not sure yet.
Anyone else?
Or we ought to be.
ba-dum-
BUMP
How will we know who the SDMB people are?
Not that the place is exceptionally crowded at 7 on a Saturday, but… I’ve never been to one of these. Is there a dress code or something?
For you: saran wrap.
Shouldn’t be too difficult. I will be the tall, skinny guy with a ponytail dressed in black. Nen will be the tall, skinny, blonde guy with all the metal stuff stuck in his head. We will probably be the first there because we like to get a head start on the drinking, thus hiding our apparent alcoholism.
If you feel the need to stand out, though, I will buy all your drinks for the evening if you do show up wearing nothing but saran wrap as Nen has suggested.
Cling Film?!? I’m not a chicken drumstick, Tymp!
If only this were 1991. Might have taken you up on this one. I certainly let my across-the-hall neighbors pick out some equally skimpy outfits for me in college. Ah, the joys of a co-ed dorm.
Falcon, Swiddles, missbunny, Stephe96, Trion, Grende69, APB9999, Merlot, can you all make it?
Motorgirl, are you committed? Do you need help breaking out of the asylum?
I am pretty sure I will be in town. This might not work out (if it ends up that I can’t go) but if I do go, I volunteer to make lovely poster-name labels for everyone. I plan to steal Avery labels from work and make them on company time.
Cool! Will you paint racing stripes and flames on mine?
Tymp, we’re talking stick-on labels and MSWord. If I get really ambitious, I might use WordArt. These aren’t going to be masterpieces suitable for framing or anything!
However, I am happy to try to make each label pretty. I could, for example, put a bunny picture on mine. Some people already have an obvious tie-in (Falcon, Motorgirl, Merlot) or I have a mental image of their name as art (SwimmingRiddles: little wavelike things with bubbles swirling around) and I guess you want fire on yours but the rest are a mystery. If everyone provides a brief description of what their username means or stands for, I will try and find an appropriate image to use.
So if you plan to go, please let me know what type of graphic image you want!
Gee, my first foray into MPSIMS and I find out there is a party in Beantown. August 12th? Why sure, I’d love to go ;)!
Good to have you in the posse, jmullaney.
I was just kidding about the racing stripes and flames, missbunny. You don’t need to go out of your way to do anything special for little ol’ me.
Potentially. The pigeons keep a close eye on me,
and I’m low on duct tape. Got plenty of
mayo, though.
The BF says we can come if he can be incognito.
Is someone going to bump this thread up to the top on or near the 11th?
I smuggle in some duct tape for you. It’ll be inside the cake. wink, wink?
I thought you broke him of that hiding under the table routine.
I’ll be in New Hampshire from the 6th to the 11th without internet access. I may just wither away and die without my SDMB. I can give it a bump when I return that night, but I’d bet Tymp would be willing to give it a bump a day or two in advance (if it has slipped back a few pages).
Just about two weeks left. Still enough time to get in on this if you’re interested.
It looks like the crowd’s getting to be a decent size. Here’s the updated list of who it looks like will be there:
waterj2
Robot Arm
CalMeacham
Trout Mask Replica
Tymp
Nen
missbunny
jmullaney
Motorgirl
Motorgirl’s BF
That’s ten. Let’s make it twenty. Waddaya say? Missbunny is gonna make us nametags with MS Word Art.
Oh, and I’ve put this thread in my sig to direct people in other forums over here. Look:
Alas, the East Coast Traveling Falcon Show will not be able to make it up that weekend. Perhaps some other time, y’all…Boston isn’t THAT far away from me, and I haven’t been up there since…hell, since I was 13.
