Aug 9th? Sweet. Thats my b’day. Don’t forget to bring gifts! 😉

Anyway. I don’t post much here but it seems like my wife dragging me to this thing will be pretty cool. You might even say that I am looking forward to it.

BamaDope IV is just over a month away! YAY!

Do we have an official list of who’s going to be there yet?

You poor bastard. The last bamadope was Dec 29th (my birthday)  
You really do not know what your getting into. I cannot say without having a price placed on my head.  
I can and will give a few hints: Men in kilts and anal bleeding.:eek:

Maybe you should just send the wife and stay a safe distance away. I can look after her for the weekend if you like;)

All kidding aside, Happy birthday! The last dopefest was a blast and with a birthday boy in the house it will be even more jolly and fun.

By the way, which poster is your wife anyway?

I would be the wife of the FunLvnCriminal. And no, he’s not really a criminal. At least, I don’t think.  
Count me and FLC as definites. I will mark it on my calendar. Kilts and anal bleeding, huh? Naahhh. Sounds too much like his 21st birthday party. (Just kidding, just kidding!) 😉

Woohoo! Groovy titles, **Nocturne**. Thanks!

And yes, I’m a definite. Got my e-ticket receipt magneted to my fridge and everything.

Man, this is gonna be _so cool_!

Oh, and I have a question about Saturday. Are we going to go to Birmingham during the day and stay there until we come back in the wee hours on Sunday? See, the reason I’m asking is, I had thought to wear one of my faboo dance suits (being as I’ve been christened the King of Hepcats and Hepkittens and all [hee]), but it’ll be awfully hot to wear it during the day. If that is indeed the plan, that’s fine; I can take it. I just want to be mentally prepared.

Hey. Whatever happened to the cool titles like “Empress”, “Sorceress”, and “Queen Mum”? I am now relegated to “Platebreaker Extraordinaire”? After one lousy plate?

By accident! Jeeez!

I think I’ll quit talking with my hands from now on. And do you have any idea how hard it is to type with a pencil in your mouth?? Do ya???

Oh and yes. I am a definite. Unless the plague strikes me again. But I’m definitely a definite, otherwise.

Nocturne: Yep, scooby snacks was a song of theirs. Kind of an obscure band. 10 Bonus points for you 😉  
Osip. No no no. I draw the line at Kilts… but perhaps I have said too much.

I’m still a definite maybe, but I don’t see any problems.

No funny title for me, **Nocturne** …sniff sniff. This wounds me terribly. ☹

Can’t make heads or tails of my name…guess she’s never heard of a dictionary.
