So, which lucky gentleman gets to take the pictures? You KNOW they’re going to insist on pictures. But we can’t have ALL those guys waving their equipment around. Too many flash bulbs gets a bit distracting. So how are we going to do this? Anyone up for a name draw? ---

So, uh, **Geo** , where’d you say you were staying…? All I have to say is that nobody is allowed to have sex in my bathroom. Well, unless I’m involved of course. 😃 ---

A-_hem!_ And now for something completely different … This sounds like a wholesome family experience. I believe I will swim in a river of beer and enjoy all the attractions. **ALL** the attractions. **Alphagene** , I think we’ll get along juuuuust fine. Also, Mrs. Heap may be interested in assisting with tours, etc. I’ll see if I can get that weekend off, and if so, the following may help some unfortunate fellow Dopers: Though we are not in the city, we are less than an hour away and we have mucho extra sleeping room. Assuming I am at all able to get out of the city at all, peeps be welcome at the Heap Estate. P.S.-- Alcohol and miniskirts a must. ---

Good golly, we even will be blessed with **Persephone, slayer of Peeps** at the Mega-Dopefest. And because of that, we’ll get **Sakura** , too. Not to mention the butt-touching this is inspiring. Wow. **Hamadryad** , of course the offer of floor space is open. Although with you and **Geobabe** driving together I can’t imagine what you’ll cook up on the ride up. That scares me. And, **Geobabe** , I thought you were angling to stay at the Billdo-pad as well. I’ve had to fight to get **Nacho4Sara** from **Biggirl** ’s evil clutches, and I’m willing to fight to keep you from **vix** ’s vile grasp as well. Sheesh, next thing you know, my sister and her dog will want to stay somewhere else. ---
