I’ve now figured out my holiday plans right through until my birthday. However, I’m not even going to be in the right half of the country for Bamadope. I may be passing through on January 3, but that depends on the driving route my father comes up with for me to go from New York to Mississippi. And I couldn’t stay long enough to do anything, anyway, as on January 4 I intend to get up at midnight and start driving to Texas. So no Bamadope for me. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by bobkitty \* > **Shall I be expecting you to attend dinner Friday evening? We can push it to, say, 8 or 9-ish** I appreciate that, but chances are I couldn’t be there before midnight Friday night. And probably closer to 1 or 2am. So y’all have dinner without me. I’ll try to find something to do, and someplace to go until Saturday’s festivities. ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Nocturne \* > **bobkitty, as long as I don’t scream “FUCK YOU!” and storm out of the restaurant, I think we’ll be okay.** Aww, c’mon. Okay… how about you scream “FUCK ME!” and storm out of the restaurant with me in tow? 😉 **Supe** , I’m gonna make a suggestion here, and feel free to reject it soundly. Since festivities in AL don’t start til afternoon, why don’t you show up at the Kitty House whenever you get in Friday? I have a feeling that those of us who collect there will be up relatively late, so even if it’s 2 or so it’s not a huge deal. Unless of course you’re just trying to nicely blow me off, which is perfectly [sub]un[/sub]acceptable. But I’d feel much better knowing you were safe and sound somewhere after that long drive. Just a suggestion. -BK ---

If I DO get to make the sojourn to T-town, it will be without Mr.Silky. 😉 I’m thinking about it. I’m still a maybe, however.

So many people to reply to… **Silky** , consider me your patron if you need to. We _really_ want to bask in your presence, and if I need to shell out for marguaritas for it to happen, then consider it done. **Fiver** … but… but… those are my _going out_ pants, and wouldn’t really be appropriate til Saturday evening. Besides, I have an even _cuter_ pair that tie at the waist and ankles; wouldn’t you rather I wear those? They look really nice with the knee-length black velvet coat… **Super** … one email on its way. We’ll leave the light on for ya. May even save you a beer. 😉 So, who’s on for dinner Friday? Fiver? The newbie from Albany? Hey, Lsura, if you’re not helping move on Friday night you can stop in, it’s not that far a drive for ya. -BK ---

Well, sweethearts, as soon as you guys tell me who’s coming I can set up Secret Santa. And if you would please voice an opinion concerning culinary tastes, I’d much appreciate it. That way I can set something up regarding that as well. ---

Hey, **Nocturne** , you and I may be the only sober ones playing grabass. Not that that stops the groping or anything. ---

Silky I retract the offer of you being a Designated Driver. But, do not fret, I believe you can help with the drinking 😉 Thanks for pointing out the error BK. Silky you gotta come. BK and I have both offered to buy you drinks. Damn it Silky your to damn cool of a person not to have at a dopefest. If you do not come I’ll… I’ll … Ummm… I’ll drink your share of the booze!! ---

I’ll offer to be a DD, since I don’t drink. That way, **Nocturne** and I can play grab-ass while sober. ---
