You’re not sultry and oversexed? ---

Besides, I think we should all kiss Ike just to annoy him. 😉 ---

I’ll start making plans now, if it means anything to anybody. ---

Euty at a Dopefest? Can it be true??? ---

Perhaps if our schedules can be coordinated, **Euty** , we could travel together. Just something to kick around, if it’ll make your planning any easier or anything! ---

**delphica** , I think there’s a clear need for you to begin a list for **Ike** too. But be sure to work in some blocks of time for discussing sporting events 😉 ---

I’m giving a tentative “count me in” at this time. I’ve mentioned before that Mrs. Dave-Guy has never been in a New York State of mind, being convinced that there’s a mugger, drug dealer, or psycho behind every parking meter. Now you can include extremist fringe member of Islamic Jihad to that. When things calm down a little, I’ll broach the subject, but at this point, she still considers New York City a “target”, and doesn’t want to have anything to do with it. More details as they develop. BTW, I just want to let **Ike** know that I was able to monopolize **Geobabe** at the spring Dopefest apre-dinner libation gathering. Didn’t kiss her, but I did pat her on the head. (don’t ask) ---

You’d think we’d have been able to coordinate something before now, ya know! 🙂 I can’t wait to meet unmet Dopers and get together (again) with met Doper-Friends. [sub]Oh, I hadn’t official said we’re coming? Oops. Well, **lurker** and I will be there. Any way we can do the Idiot again??? :D[/sub] ---

I will be there. Everyone else can now begin cancelling their plans to attend. ;)😛 ---

Hey, I might have a car by then, and could make it! Sweet deal! (This would be the first out of three possible Dopefests I could have attented that I might actually attend.) I will, however, need a place to crash, as I am a college student and cannot for the life of me afford a decent hotel room. ---

Dammit! I organize the Dopefest, get everyone’s life in order months in advance, even potentially convince Euty to come, and what happens? All of the hot Doper-babes start lining up to make out with the other guys at the Dopefest, and I don’t even get an offhand flirt. If you feel that way about it, the museum tour is going to be the sights, sounds, and smells of the Gowanus Canal, we’re going to have the Dopefest at a macrobiotic, vegitarian restaurant with no liquor license, and all you’ll get for brunch is lukewarm oatmeal. Harumph! ---

[Maybe not my sister, that’s just icky, but any of the other Doper-Babes.] So, **Arden** , can I be first in line for your birthday spanking? 🙂 ---

**Billdo** , the rules clearly state everyone has to make out with he (or she) who organizes a Dopefest. No really, they say that. I just can’t find my copy right now. Honest. ---

I don’t see anybody lining up to make out with me! I think I’m going to end up being the quiet guy in the corner who everyone is a little afraid to approach. ---
