Frankly, having been to two DopeFests, I think your dad would be a little disappointed at the lack of menace to be found among the Atlanta crowd. I can vouch for the GeoBills. We had dinner with them and neither one of us were molested in any way. We also went over to their apartment and remained unmolested, though I was covered in pollen. Though of course, that’s just what I’m supposed to say as an Intarweb Child Molester. ---

… the hosts and haven’t been here in quite a while, I was wondering if I might attend your soiree? If I can, please let me know what you’d like for me to bring. If you are hosting any guitarists, I would be glad to bring mine with me, although I play primarily rhythm guitar. Thanks Quasi ---

Looks like both our dessert-makers have dropped out, so that’s back up for grabs. We could still use some side dishes too. Is anyone vegetarian or vegan? My lasagna has meat in it, if that’s a concern for anybody. **Quasi** , of course you are welcome to attend. I’m not around the boards all that much myself these days. I’ll be sending out directions this weekend, so if any of y’all don’t have your email in your profile, please email me at geobabe1 at usa dot net. ---

I will be bringing a dessert called **Bourbon Apple Betty**. If anything else is needed, please let me know. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends again and meeting some new ones. 🙂 **Archergal** , if y’all are still coming, and if the hosts are amenable, I would enjoy accompanying you on your dulcimer with my accoustic guitar. See y’all on the 15th, then? Quasi ---

The dessert I would like to make for y’all is here [http://recipes.chef2chef.net/recipe-archive/05/037006.shtml](http://recipes.chef2chef.net/recipe-archive/05/037006.shtml). The bourbon will cook off with the baking, but if y’all don’t want it, let me know and I’ll fix something else. I’ll also be bringing some beer. Anyone have any preferences? Althought I did just return from Germany, I don’t have any of _that_ beer left, sorry! 😃 Thanks Q ---

I’m there, baby, yeah! I shall bring a main dish- with meat, since pasta is already covered. Mmmmm meat! I shall also bring my shining personality, which should more then sustain everyone. OK, maybe not. Maybe I’ll bring a side dish, too 🙂 Can’t wait! ---

I was on hiatal hernius for a while, \*\*Morelin[/b:D, but I’m slowly coming back. Am I gonna get to see you and your “hunka burnin’ love” Saturday night? Note to **geobabe** : There may be a change in the dessert I’m bringing. I’m a little concerned that it might not be consumed, so I may opt for something store-bought instead. Do you still need another entree’?. Is anyone bringing fried chicken? How about some german potato salad? Let me know Q ---

I apologize- I will not be attending after all. Several things have come up, the most important that I’ll likely have to work, as my coverage person has strep throat and hospitals frown on you working with patient meds while spreading your germs all over. Sorry to all, and I look forward to a future gathering. Zette ---

Am I gonna get to see you and your “hunka burnin’ love” Saturday night? Yeah, **Ryujin** and I noticed you were missing. I’m sorry to hear you were hurt. We’ll be there. We’re bringing some books that we couldn’t sell and don’t really want to move(along with some food). And I don’t know about the rest of these Dopers, but my policy on food is, at least try it before you decide you won’t eat it. 😃 ---

Ok, we’re back from Hawai’i! A wonderful time was had by us, but boy are we pooped. But we should be recovered (more or less) by Saturday, and I’ll have my fruit salad thingee ready to go! It’ll be good to see **Quasi** again too! Oh yeah, and sign us up on the “too boring to be a child molester” team. ---

Welcome home! I wish we still had our old, crappy DVD player, it did slideshows of jpgs on CD! The new, fancier one doesn’t do that. We just got back from the grocery store, chips and queso, pineapple and cherry kebobs, and baby carrots for beginners; Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite are for the sodas, and we got some dessert stuff just in case (believe me, it will not go to waste). If anyone has any special desires, here’s the place to speak up! Come hungry. ---

I am getting hungry, just started the red beans and they smell so good cooking. In 6 hours I will know if they will be presentable. I could not find any andouille here in North AUgusta so we will have to make do with so polish kielbasa.
