If folks are interested in the Brooklyn Museum on Saturday, I’d be happy to host a pre-museum brunch-type dealie in my swank Park Slope pad. Which now comes equipped with a working couch.
Vix, I think that’s a spiffy idea, and you’re a peach to offer up your apartment. I can find out what’s happening at the Brooklyn Museum, and even play tour guide for some of their collections.
Personally, I’m trying to get up for this one…but as cheaply as possible, because I am a skinflint. Therefore…anyone in the NC/VA/DC area feel at all like carpooling? If I can find someone with whom to carpool and someone on whose floor to crash (here’s hoping Billdo’s invite is still open) then I’m 95% in.
Persephone might be there? Be still, my heart. I must meet this woman! You must find a way to be there, thou red-tressed temptress! You, who call me a god and provide the perfect sig. Come to me. Come and fest with me, Persephone, and we shall compare stories of the Dianasaur and Halford the Human Eel. I hear your siren song, and I respond.
Come to me.
Come to me.
Come and fest with me.
Huh? What was that? Did somebody hear something? Or was it those damn voices in my head again? 
Anyhoo, things are looking up. Whoever is keeping the list, please put me on as a “definite maybe, heading in the yes direction.”
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
I want to go…
Flipping frantically through the calendar…
I’ll let ya know, as soon as I can!
KimKatt, who doesn’t live near New York, but Loves New York, and any excuse for a party!
Great Goddess, Persephone!
You have to go now! Just because Dave earned it with that post!
Yeah, it’s damn hard to resist a guy that refers to a message board post as a siren song. :eek:
Yeah, well, you just better be there, because Mrs. Dave-Guy allowed as how, if you were there, she’d allow the lovely and talented Sakura to attend, which she is absolutely dying to do, and which was strictly verboten before. For some strange reason my wife deems you trustworthy.
[Christian Children’s Fund Voiceover] Your presence at the New York Dopefest will ensure that a needy poster will have a good time on Saturday night. There are so many waiting for you to help. Won’t you come to the Dopefest this January? The cost is just pennies a day, and it would mean so much to a child like Sakura. Pick up the phone now, and make your reservation. Won’t you?

Dear Mrs. Dave-Guy,
Hello! My name is Persephone. I’m a friend of your husband’s. An invisible friend, since we’ve never actually seen each other. I’ve met your charming daughter here on the boards too. Lovely girl. Sure can hold her own in a bar fight, oh yeah.
I am honored that you would deem me worthy of your trust, however, I’m not quite sure what it is I’ve done to earn it. Therefore, I must question your sanity.
I’m sure being married to Dave hasn’t helped matters. I’ve got a husband, too. And kids. Actually, I haven’t seen my brain in about four years.
If I can get to NY (nothing is carved in stone yet), all I can say is that I’ll try to make sure Sakura a) doesn’t get hit by any vehicles, and b) has her story about the events of the evening together. “Had fun…Dad is cool…had fun…Dad is cool…”
Much love, Persephone
A good start. Shows the proper deference.
Hmm. Well, since it was a virtual bar fight, I guess that’s ok.
WARNING! WARNING! Slippery slope alert! You may not want to go there!
Good. You covered your butt. [sub]WHEW![/sub] That was close. You’re probably back in her good graces.
A masterful move, Perseph! Now you are not merely a deferential third party, but an ally!
Woah. Good one. I hadn’t thought of that.
Well, much as I like the idea of brainwashing my teenager to be a mellow, compliant, Stepford Kid[sub]TM[/sub], this might not go over all that big at Casa Dave-Guy. Better soft-pedal the mantra-like behavior.
Nice job. On reviewing your performance on the SuckUp-O-Meter[sub]TM[/sub], you get some points off initially for your faux-pas regarding her sanity. But your recovery and subsequent building up of her confidence and overall camaraderie female/concerned-Mom-wise gives you an overall score of 9.3. But the East German judge gives you a 3.5.
Let’s give the little lady a big hand, folks!
Thank you, thank you. Glad you liked it.
And I really hope Mrs. Dave-Guy liked it…because I’m THERE.
OH yeah. Got the green light.
AIEEEEEEEEEE!!!
I’mgoingtoNewYorkI’mgoingtoNewYorkaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
[sub]let me know now if you hate me. I’ll be sure to stay out of your way.[/sub]
Most supremely excellent.
Of course, Mrs. Dave-Guy acquiesced only on the condition that I sit on one side of Sakura and Persephone sit on the other side. But let’s just tell her that’s what happened, okay, folks?
What she doesn’t know what hurt her.
Just don’t tell Mrs. Dave-Guy that Persephone touched my butt repeatedly at ChickDope.
Shhhhhh! That was just between you & me!
[sub]and manhattan, since he took pictures…;)[/sub]
Well, I just thought if you’re coming to NYC, well, maybe…you might, um…do it again.
Man, every time I see that Geobabe is the most recent poster, I open this thread to see if she’s offered to carpool with me to this thing…seeing as how she’s only a couple of hours away from me and everything.
Instead, she’s flirting away with Persephone. Hrmph. There’s just no justice.
Oh, I’m sorry, what? You want a ride? Well, garsh, all you had to do was say so. 
Man, and all I planned to do was ogle your gams.
OK, change of plans. This will go down in history as the butt-touching Dopefest. [sub]I’m not gonna let Persephone have all the fun.[/sub]
