You can say that to me in English and I’d be swooning. But we don’t want to take this thread in that direction, do we?
:: Fingers in ears ::
Don’t take me there. Don’t take me there. I can’t HEEEEAAARRRRR YOU! LALALALALALALALA!
Thanks for sticking to the agreed upon story, Billdo. How much do I owe you again? 
Oh, and I’ll be happy to do the website hosting/design for the Mega-DopeFest. Got plenty of space available at the moment.
[sub]Of course, I should be working on the Chatters site, but we won’t mention that here, will we?[/sub]
Woohooo! I’ll definitely be there. I also have crash-space for anyone who isn’t allergic to cats.
I second the vote for a chelsea/village do this time - maybe manhattan has a few contacts from the last dopefest organization shindig?
So this leaves me 3+ months to buy a mini-skirt…
And I’m sure that’ll just around the corner from a “spacious, reasonably-priced apartment in the Chelsea/Greenwich Village area with three bedrooms, sep DR, hi clgs, EIK, riv vu.”
But I’ll work on it. One solution might be the Chelsea Grill, which certainly is reasonable and has the space - and hey, it’s literally around the corner from the OxyPad. Don’t know how they are on parties.
The challenge is finding a big enough place - 50-75 people is more than a lot of the local joints can accommodate. But we’ll find a way.
I’m bumpin’ this 'cause it was buried on page 4 or something. And that just isn’t right.
Wait! I know that apartment! The broker was practically begging me to take it - so much so that he waived his fee! I can’t remember why I didn’t take it.
<sound of clattering glass>
Ah yes. I remember 
My apartment in now .2% clean. I’ve got less than 3 months. Will I make it?
Where will I find the time to clean and search for a mini-skirt? Billdo you must give much more advance notice!
Oooh. A betting pool!

On January 5, 2002:
-
Biggirl’s apartment is 100% clean and she is wearing a miniskirt.
-
Biggirl’s apartment is 100% clean and she is not wearing a miniskirt.
-
Biggirl’s apartment is 50-99% clean and she is wearing a miniskirt.
-
Biggirl’s apartment is 50-99% clean and she is not wearing a miniskirt.
-
Biggirl’s apartment is less than 50% clean, and therefore she can’t find her miniskirt.
-
Biggirl’s apartment was 100% clean a week before the Dopefest, but has since degenerated back to its usual disarray. She is so fututzed that she forgets all about the miniskirt. She remembers on the way to the Dopefest and stops by the Gap to purchase one. She finds that hemlines have indeed dropped again, and the Gap employees laugh at her for even inquiring about such a thing. So she goes to the Kmart and purchases one white Martha Stewart Blue Label bedsheet, out of which she fashions a smashing mini-toga. As usual, she is the life of the party.
My money is on #6.
I’m going for #6 as well.
#4.
(of course, an apartment is volume, and the only fairly clean parts will be 3’ or more above the original floor, but air space should raise the percentage of clean space…
#6.
So anyone know where I can get a good curdoroy mini-skirt? As usual, once I’ve picked what I want, no store can be found to sell it.
I’m voting for #6, with the addition of “smashing mini-toga is ‘accidentally’ removed when an as yet undetermined Doper ‘trips’ and causes it to ‘fall off.’”
Pucette, try Old Navy! That’s where I got mine… it’s not courderoy but it’s damn cute. I know they had courderoy though, and I may be going back and picking up a few more. Cheap clothes make me happy.
Curduroy?
This is a dress made out of cottage cheese?
Oh, wait, it’s curd “du roy” - must be camembert.
Or actually, it’s made out of Wilkin & Sons Tiptree Lemon Curd. They’re “By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, Jam and Marmalade Manufacturers.”
I can’t wait to see it.
I would go for #1. Except Thanksgiving and Christmas stand in my way. If I were smart I’d not even bother until after the holiday season because it is all just a big waste of time.
Yes, housecleaning is a big ole waste of time! It’s never done NEVER, EVER.
Maybe I’ll get a mini-skirt for Christmas.
You know, Oxy, there was a raging debate in my head about whether to post a spelling correction or not. I ended up concluding that anyone who cared about the spelling mistake would get a kick out of it, just like you did
Curd du roy? I love it!
And thanks, Rosebud. That sounds like a good idea.
With all this talk of the few-Dopers wearing mini-skirts, I just have to decide if I dare go out in public in one (and if I decide to, if I can find one in my size 
)
Hell, maybe I’ll just be different and wear my long red crushed velvet skirt! That’s the ticket!!!
And on the apartment cleaning end, I have to see if lurker will ever help me get these damn boxes out of my kitchen so I have a little room in here!
Well, TP, make it either a miniskirt or something low cut. I think all the Doper-Babes should wear one or the other, or possibly both (I personally plan on both), so we can all giggle at the men when they spin in circles until they become dizzy and fall down.
Dizzy Doper-dudes… This could be fun!
The skirt I was talking about has a nice big slit up the side. I’ll just have to look into getting a tight, low-cut top that shows off some of my larger “assets”… that should be easier to find. 
The whiplash I will sustain will definitely be worth the view. God I love you people!
