You know it’s a party when we drag the lurkers out. 😃 Barring a sudden run on Amazon, I have 4 good-sized boxes full of books/cds/DVDs and probably a little more that I’ll be dragging along. ---

Hey, everybody have fun tonight! Everybody Wang Chung tonight! I’m so happy that my little sis and bro-in-law have moved someplace where they can get a decent Dopefest together; Those years in MIA must have been really frustrating. I wish I could be there, but you’re just a _little_ out of my way and coincidentally the “Edward the Head Bon Voyage Barbecue” Dopefest will be going on at exactly the same time just a few blocks away from my house. So we’ll toast the ATL Dopers who are fortunate to have acquired one of our most celebrated ex-pat MADs (if I do say so myself) and her lucky husband. 🆒 ---

Thanks to all who came, we had a great time getting to know some of you for the first time, and getting to know a few more a little better! Some of my photos turned out utterly horrible, but we will post the decent ones. ---

Just got home and wanted to post and thank the **GeoBills** for hosting that little shindig last night. I too had a wonderful time and it was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Best wishes and much success to **GMRYujin** and his **Morelin** on their new venture in North Carolina. I helped myself to a couple of items from your boxes, **yuje** , and I will think about you whenever I watch/read them. **Torie** , glad you made it home okay, and thanks for coming all the way from South Carolina to see us. I loved your “movie reviews”. (“The hobbit that cried all the way through LOTR”, and your telling of cracking up during a certain scene in the first movie still make me chuckle!) Enjoyed seeing my friend **Archergal** and her husband Robert as well. (Let’s see, did I score, like _three_ hugs from you last night, Janice? 😉 ) **Fiver** , dude! Take care of that arm, thanks for the beer and I just love that “deadpan” expression! I hope to see you again sometime. **Anaxagoras** and **Jackaroe** : What a pleasure it was meeting you two! A quote I will remember from last night: “Preaching atheism”! **Jackaroe** , I didn’t get a chance to try one of your “micro-beers”, but I’d like to the next Dopefest we meet at! Let’s see, did I leave anyone out? Oh yeah! **Scooter** the kibble-eatin’ cat! My Susie (Himalayan-Persian) musta smelled you on my shirt that I had on last night, ‘cause she sure was lovin’ this morning! After I left last night, I stopped for a nightcap at C’est Bon, a Cajun restaurant near my motel, and got invited to “sit in” on the drums for a couple of numbers, so it was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening for me. Thanks once again for having me over and I hope to see y’all again sometime soon! Quasi ---

Ok, I’ve got a quick and dirty page of pictures up from last night. …Let me clarify that. There are no dirty pictures on the page. 😃 [Linkey-link](http://home.mindspring.com/~archer5219/) Thanks for having us over! I enjoyed the evening very much. It was great to meet **Anaxagoras** , **Fiver** (sorry about the sideways flush comment, Fiver), **Torie** , and **JackaRoe**. I sure hate that **GMRyujin** and **Morelin** are leaving the area, but I’m glad they’ll still be online and around somewhere. That way, when they’re rich and famous, I can say “I knew them when…” Archergal, not in the pictures cuz I was behind the camera. ---

Damn, that **Quasi** sumbitch ain’t much to look at, but he sure has some purty laigs! 😛 Somebody cue up _Duelling Banjos_, please! 😃 Thanks, **Archergal** for those pics! **Fiver** with those glasses and that dead-pan expression, I thought of Donald Pleasance right away! 😃 Q ---

Thanks for hosting the Dope Fest Uncle Bill and GeoBabe. I really enjoyed meeting real dopers. The conversation was very interesting, esp the “underpants” thread. The pics look great Archergal, except I dd not see one of Scooter going for the carrots in there. ---

I woke up this morning feeling hung over despite having had nothing to drink. It was delightful having you all, and I’m glad we had such a good turnout! Great meeting you or seeing again, as the case may be. Our pictures are [here](http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286856593)–if you’re not an ImageStation member, sign in using the name geoguests and password cecil1. Somehow Bill managed to get almost everyone looking bored, pissed off or both. I hope everyone had a good time in spite of appearances. I started to put captions on the pics, but somehow managed to lose them all halfway through and haven’t the energy to do them over, so nyah. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/atlanta-dopers-mid-may-maybe-geobills-housewarming/241484.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/atlanta-dopers-mid-may-maybe-geobills-housewarming/241484.md?page=5)
