My cute but blond-in-spirit husband volunteered to work OT on the 11th. (the doodyhead). So, HE (and I wish to emphasize HE) will not be coming. I, on the other hand, will still be there with bells on. Robin ---

That means only 1 or possibly 2 people are spending the night? **msrobyn** , instead of blowing bucks on a hotel, would you rather spend a night on my quite comfortable sofa bed? That is, if you’re a)willing; b)not allergic to cats; and c)not allergic to cigarette somke? It woudn’t be an imposition at all and, quite frankly, I need an excuse to clean my apartment 😃 ---

Are **C-note Chris** and **Rysdad** still coming? I haven’t seen or heard either of them post here for a while, and I thought at the first Central MN Dopefest thread they had expressed interest in coming. Also, if **sandyr** runs out of room at her place, we can put up several people here also at **imthjckaz** ’s and my place here. I hope you all still can come, and those who can’t are welcome to call, like **Ad Noctum** did the night **sandyr** came over here for dinner. ---

That was me in that last post. I looked at the old thread and came up with the following names who said they had thought about coming:[ul][li] **Lowellster** [_] **Joey Hemlock** , who would be coming from Illinois and could bunk with us or **sandyr** [_] **Ivar** from Fargo **particlewill** [/ul][/li]None of those people have posted lately. It would be a nice surprise if any of them could make it, and like both **sandyr** and I have said, we have rooms available in our homes if anyone would rather do that instead of a hotel. My e-mail is **[l\_frenette\_vannurden@hotmail.com](mailto:l_frenette_vannurden@hotmail.com)**. This will be so cool. ----:D/ ----///\\ ---

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! One week and counting! If anyone needs a ride from the Twin Cities, please e-mail me at [remayes@yahoo.com](mailto:remayes@yahoo.com). I do plan to spend the night in St. Cloud, so please take that into consideration. Man, it’s gonna be a long-ass week! Robin 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 ---

Due to my complete inability to say ‘no’ to anyone, I will be working not one but two full time jobs for the next month or so and thus find myself unable to partake in even a mini road trip. Maybe next time… ---

I’m still here. I’m just not posting as much or as often. Quite frankly, I thought this happened some time ago. I don’t know how I screwed that up so bad. I’m not sure about this weekend. I’m suppose to be selling my sisters car. Yeah, yeah, I know, but her husband, my friggen brother in law, would get screwed over major league trying to sell it himself. He’s kind of a sap when it comes to these things. Come to think of it, anyone here interested in a 1996 Mercury Sable LE with a rebuilt engine, pwr windows, brakes, steering, etc., ABS, airbag, new tires, brakes, no rust, body in excellent condition? It’s a must see!! This one’s gonna go fast!!! Hmm. Nothing? Well, I know where the event is taking place. If you see a light blue station wagon come pulling up to the bar, you’ll know it’s me. ---

I envy you guys. I spent a few days in St. Cloud a week ago, and all I saw was the area around the Holiday Inn. But even there, the food was **so** good! We ate at the Inn (I love their homemade nachos) and at the Granite thingie with all the beer, and at the Timberlodge. Shoot, there was even good food at a little deli nearby called Peckerhead’s or something. Awesome food and friendly people all over. You’re gonna have a ball. Hope it snows for ya! ---

I don’t know how to do this – **Sandyr** said the bolded stuff. \*\*You were in St. Cloud and didn’t TELL anyone? ☹ \*\* It was all work-related – no independent transportation, and my time wasn’t my own. ☹ …and at the Granite thingie with all the beer… **That would be the Granite City Brewery, and their food is awesome! I’m going to strongly recommend that place for lunch/brunch Sunday morning.** I hope everyone follows your recommendation! I swear – I’ve always been snobby about food, from living in Seattle, but little old St. Cloud, Minnesota could show those Northwesterners a thing or two. If they serve the garlic mashed potatoes at brunch, don’t anyone pass those up. Relax about the snow – the first storms never amount to much. 😉 ---

I can’t let this pass… > [@](#): > > Shoot, there was even good food at a little deli nearby called Peckerhead’s or something. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. There are only a few post around here that actually make me laugh out loud. Mostly I smile and chuckle, but sometimes, when I least expect it, I run across a doosy like that. I strive for the day on this board when I can belt one out like that. _ **O.P.** _ I won’t be making it to party. With the storm a comin’ and selling my sister’s damn car, I should stay here and be resposible. When spring roles around and you want one down in the cities, let me know and I be there for sure. I also know some good places to gather for strong drinks and easy tabs. Have fun. ---
