Well, if I can’t make this one, I’ll be more than happy to get the ball rolling for the next Dopefest - January?
I’ll bring the pliers, just in case.
Nope - still scooting between my girlfriends place in Twickenham and my parents in Stevenage.
Although for the Dopefest i will be based in Walthamstow - my sister will be away and i said i’d house-sit/cat-sit for her.
Away, you say? Hmmm…all in favour of moving the Dopefest to Walthamstow, say “aye”…
heh…
I really am gonna print up a fact sheet…
No, they don’t get in the way 
(all men ask me this first)
Titanium crowns with a ceramic veneer
Yes, they are sharp
Permanent
Had 'em for 8 years
£700 (of someone elses money, bwhahaha)
Because I felt like it
Yes, I bite, but I dont break skin
Very useful for shotgunning beer cans
I’ve scared/shocked an awful lot of people 
Never had a bad reaction (to my face anyway) had a lot of very funny reactions though!
No, I don’t drink blood
No, I don’t think I’m a vampire or belong to any vampire clubs
I will get them removed one day, but I see no reason to at the moment
No, I don’t bite/cut my own lip
Yes, I can eat normally
They set off metal detectors at some airports
ummm…
I think that’s the standard questions answered, feel free to ask any others though! heh.
I get pretty tanned in the summer, so pale complexion has nothing to do with it, besides, I’m sure you’ve seen Blade.
Last time I checked you weren’t a he?
Ianzin wont be at the Dopefest, he’ll be in Australia. Boo!
Walthamstow? Um… No. 
My sister’s cats are psycho enough - seeing Tir would tip them over the edge.
That’s not a very nice thing to say. Tir’s lovely.
You can give me that tenner later Tir
eeeek!
I didn’t realise Twisty was still logged in… that last post by him was actually me…
oops!
Angua? eh? tenner? what? I thought the agreement was that I wouldn’t show people your pants anymore?
I thought that agreement went right out of the window when you put the pictures of her up on the website
Well, quite. I think we may have to come to another arrangement…
Remember the phrase “great and graphic detail”, Angua?
:eek:
I wasn’t there. It wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything. Er, I was dead at the time. Yeah, that’s right, I was dead at the time.
Just bumping because it’s two weeks away exactly.
Again, myself, Francesca and curlychick will be staying in the hotel I said before.
I wanted to add:
One of us looks mildly Middle-Eastern but has a horrific Septic Tank accent.
Now, should we do the “What Should I Wear” posts that are so popular before a big US Dopefest?
I’m thinking I might try some shopping in London on Friday (We’re arriving during the day on Friday, right, curlychick?) and see what I come up with.
I even have a few sterling left from my recent trip up to the North!
And to add to Frannie’s list earlier:
One of us is a SCIENTIST who managed to keep up with my husband droning on about his boring science stuff.
One of us is a former gymnast who also knows sign language.
One of us is a hot tamale redhead who will have to take us shopping to the groovy spots.
One of us is about 3 stone lighter than s/he was at the last Dopefest.
YAY!!
NO WORK!
FUN!!
NO CLEANING POTTIES!
NO MAKING FOOD!!
One of us has been registered for over two and a half years and cannot italicise.

Did I miss anyone?
Or that.
Does it score me more points if I can recite all the US States in alphabetical order? I’m not really that dippy, am I?
Thanks for the occasional mention above, but to my profound regeret I will indeed have to miss this particular Dopefest. I will be in Canberra at the time, as the guest of the Australian Skeptics, demonstrating my ‘Mind Power’ schtick at their national convention. It will be fun, but probably not quite as much fun as a Dopefest.
While I’m in Oz I’ll be seeing most of the best touristy bits, and then I’m going to Indonesia purely to see the famed Komodo dragons. Seemed like a good idea at the time, now not quite so sure. Quick fact check on Indonesia:
- lots of creepy crawly stuff that can do nasty things
- lots of major diseases and health risks (I’ve had jabs against just about everything)
- major focus of anti-West terrorist bombings
- three metre long lizards with toxic saliva
- malaria
Assuming I survive, I’d like to have a key role in organising the next UK-centric Dopefest so that I can make sure I don’t miss it. I couldn’t bear to miss two in a row.
For all those disappointed that Angua can’t make it, don’t fret. Wherever she is on that day, so long as she raises her voice a little you’ll be able to hear her.
I hope you will all take lots of pix so I can sort of see what it was like if I ever return. I have already politely requested a Cleavage Beer photo be taken with the super sexy Tansu holding an ‘Ianzin - wish u were here’ sign in an appropriate position. Or even an inappropriate one.
I hope you all have a very good time, and I will be there with you in spirit doing strange things with cards and nails and KABOOM paper.
Ah well Ianzin, just to make you feel better, here’s a quick fact check on a average Londope:
- lots of creepy crawly stuff that can do nasty things
- lots of major diseases and health risks
- major focus of anti-West terrorist bombings
- three metre long lizards with toxic saliva
- malaria
- pished people setting fire to things
- girlies beating boys in pub quizezezezzzz
So, you’re not missing much, except FIRE!!! and humiliation, and I’m sure the Indonesians would be happy to oblige if you asked 'em nicely?
Annie, Twisty wont be there, he got tickets for a Red Hot Chilli Peppers & others gig at Slaine Castle which is on the same weekend… sniffle Someone had better take over the pointy at pinty thingy if I start getting over excited!
hmmm… that only makes 14 of us then… what happened to the list of 20-sommink we had before?
Common yer boring bassturds!
I can imagine it now.
Hey, someone at that table has a dangling italic tag. Is it Anahita?
No, she’s waving an angle bracket, we need a square one.
How about the tired hamster table?
No, we want the metaphorical hamsters.
