**ava** and I shall be at the pits, as well as Marie’s… as far as I know. My elder sister has graciously offered to give us a ride from my parentals (yeah, all 6.3 miles), and we’re going to go visit them for the weekend. Mind you… once the banana cream pie lands in front of me, all of you shall cease to exist. ---

**cadolphin** , has Miss Moose arrived yet? She left town a week ago and I kinda, sorta misplaced the delivery verification receipt so I can’t check on line. She went Priority Mail last Thursday. ---

**FairyChatMom** , I got your email and it was a good thing! I hadn’t realized how long it’s been since I checked the mail. :eek: I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, but I think it’s a good thing we’re going to have a great time Saturday. I NEED to escape reality for awhile…😃 **Miss Moose** is at the PO. I’m looking at the slip and she’s been waiting there for 3 days. Poor **Miss Moose**! She must be wondering if she’s really wanted at LAdope or if she’s been abandoned or something. I’ll have to apologize to her as soon as she arrives here. Is there anything special she likes that will cheer her up and help make her feel welcome? Will chocolate do it or do moose require something different then other party animals? **Rico** said he’ll pick her up today. I’ll let you know once she’s here in my hot little hands. ---

Since ya’ll were so new to me at the San DiegDopefest, I didn’t remember who went wild with the giant pixie sticks… Do you think we could ground up some valium and slip it in with the sugar for **Bryan**??? 😃 ---

I have a better idea - every five minutes we will launch a Farrell’s-style birthday celebration. The lights will dim and flash, sirens will go off, there will be a lot of noise and confusion. This will cause **Bryan** to have 'nam flashbacks, and he will be reduced to a quivering imbicile. Oh, no, wait - that means it wouldn’t have any effect. I’ll have to come up with something else… 😉 Esprix ---

The Marie Callender’s there is a very reserved place. I think it will do them good to get some of that Farrell’s atmosphere in there! At least until we get kicked out. Then we head for Koo-Koo-Roos next door! And if that fails, I know of a really skanky nightclub down the street! Oh and **Esprix**? You’re my first pixie stick target! **JustPlainBryan** , your friendly neighborhood pixie-stick Pusherman ---

Hey, any place that has “Koo-Koo” in it’s name can’t possibly kick us out for being nutty. Think about it. Not that we shouldn’t hit a skanky nightclub _anyway_… ---

Well now. My schedule has changed once again. Let’s see… Camping trip: was on…now off Dog grooming: pending Funeral: just announced…on ☹ LaDope: was off…now on! So it looks like I will be driving up after the funeral of my friend’s mom. I will be in the mood to party by then. I may be a little late, but I’ll look for the bunny ears. ---

Oh cool! Pixie Stick Pushers! Save some for the big guy! Name tags are done, and might I add, they look REAL cool! How about a big hand for Kathy for putting this whole shindig together? APPLAUSE!!!
