> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by danceswithcats_ > \*\*Someone who I think was missed in the ID posts: **moi** was the witch from Baltimore/Phila, depending upon where she’s parked her broom. Check with **that darn cat** to determine her location. 😃 \*\* I had written up a mini-description of myself, but it doesn’t hold a candle to “depending upon where she’s parked her broom”! You’re such a swell guy, **dances**. Good to see you at the party! In the later photos, **tdc** pretty much looks like a cute, scruffy guy wearing a flannel. It was great to see all of ya and to meet some new folks ( **norinew** , **nyctea** –the duo with the terrible to pronounce names!). **RT** , pleasure to finally make it to the same DopeLocation as you! Though I never thought you’d sweep me off my feet like that! Then, to top it all off, **Edward** called me a cutie in the thread! _swoon_ And you’re not wearing a boa in all the pictures–some have you wearing a witchy hat! (Joking aside, you did a great pose _grrr_ pose for me, and I’ll share it ASAP.) **ultra** , I’m so sorry to hear about your forehead! Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! **Opal** , I’m sendin’ you an e-mail about photos, btw! I’m glad I left my gypsy costume at home, as your’s was even better in person than in the pre-party photos! Speaking of photos, I’m in awe of how SMILEY I am in this one: [http://ww2.spicecoffee.org:8080/brooke/dopeaween03-10.jpg](http://ww2.spicecoffee.org:8080/brooke/dopeaween03-10.jpg) That doesn’t even look like me! Finally, hey, a big shout-out to my PhilaDopers, **Meros** and **DocCathode**. I didn’t know y’all were talking about making your way down into the country. Too bad you missed out on all the fun! _rasberry_ [sub]_giggles_ **JC** said “hussy”![/sub] ---

I’m already considering costumes for next year, believe it or not. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Guinastasia \* > \*\*I’m already considering costumes for next year, believe it or not. \*\* Yep, me too. So far I’ve narrowed it down to “costumes that don’t involve injuring myself”. I think I can pull it off. Actually, I had a great idea this year, but not in time to get all the required pieces. Plus, it’s a little obscure, even for the dopers. ---

My pleasure, believe me. 🙂 Next year, I may keep the basic costume, but replace the board with the Book of Armaments. I’ve got pix, but it’s been a busy week. I ought to be able to post them by tomorrow night. ---

I am just sad because there aren’t any pictures of my in my costume. I didn’t take it off that early! I was much cuter in it than my normal clothes. Wings and a tiara can make anybody cute!🙂 ---

I can’t imagine what I would look like with wings. Makes even me shiver. I had a good idea for next year though. Since I shaved my legs this year I was thinking of doing the same thing next year except growing a beard and going as the bearded lady. I didn’t have time to grow a beard for tomorrow. Oh and **moi** , how do you keep such a firm bottom? Even with all I do mine is so flabby. **nyctea scandiaca** , you’re single? Everyone was telling me you were taken, and I missed my chance for a date. :smack: ---

Just took a look at the pictures. Looks like ya’ll had a great time. Although I never attend these things, I will say that I’ve noticed that Jonathan Chance always seems to host great get together’s, and I applaud him for taking the extra step to make the SDMB not just a board, but a community. ---

There’s like 4 pics of me in all of the sets, and many people (even **gobear** ) complimented me on how good I looked. Next year I’ll also have to hunt down my bowtie & cummerbund, or possibly a jacket with tails. ---
