Anyone got room, or should I start looking into hotels? ---

I asked **manny** about hotels in the area, he’s checking into it. ---

Sorry to ruin your fun yet again, **iampunha** , but sign-in is, in fact, two words hyphenated. There is a difference. 😃 And **MrCynical** , I have stated as often as I could that I have lots of available crash space, and though we are not right in the city, we are only 40-50 minutes north and I plan on spending the entire weekend Doping. If anyone is desperate for a place to sleep, e-mail me. ---

I knew there was a reason I bought those purple fake suede heels a few years ago. Long have they rested in my bedroom, awaiting the day when they might join me, a miniskirt, many Hot Doper Babes and a plethora of yummy kilted men. Friday night activity? Let’s all go get tattooed 😉 ---

Because if you did and they’re the same as mine, I’m going to laugh my ass off. b) Believe it or not, I will be more than happy to get a tattoo on Friday night if someone else will pay for it. 😃 ---

a) Nope! Caldor! Which amounts to about the same thing as Pay-Less, where I bought pretty much every other pair of shoes I own 😃 b) I’m actually planning my second tattoo… that Friday night would be as good a time as any 😉 ---

All righty then. . . So far I’m going out in January in a mini, dancing topless on a bar, having my poo-poo patted and getting a tattoo. It’s apparent that I’d rather do anything besides cleaning my apartment. ---

How can it be that I’ve made plans to attend this yet failed to notice this thread altogether? Yo yo yo, **lno** ’s alter ego Herbal T will be in the hiz-ZOUSE in NYC January 4th to 6th. Herbal T raps about the hardships of growing up white in the mean streetz o’ suburban Minnesota.

No. Herbal-T will be staying in: **Maeglin’s House of Pain** Fine Bourbon Lyrics If the Monkey doesn’t dance, I whack him in the head with my rapier. Oh, and other people can stay here, too. I already have, as far as they tell me, **Nen** , **Rasa** , and **MrC**. If there are any corrections, please let me know. It is my house, after all. ---

If I’m staying in the same room as **Maeglin** and **lno** , I think I should bring a raincoat. ---

I guess I might just be able to be free on saturday, and maybe even sunday. As far as contributing to activities, if anyone’s an anime fan, I know this place on Elizabeth Street with fansubs and toys to die for, as well as import games. Good prices. Better than Image Anime. If not, anyone up for a game of D&D at any point? Ever hear of Neutral Ground? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eutychus55 \* > \*\*Gonna have to put me on the “maybe” list. \*\* Heck no! You have to come down to the Dopefest. What fun would it be otherwise. For the hotel seekers among us: Last year OpalCat and her family stayed at the Hotel Olcott, 27 West 72nd Street, just up the block from me, 212-877-4200. It’s a sort-of-funky, old hotel, and the rates are $120 per night for a regular room and $140 for a suite.
