I just noticed **Doktor Fluff** ’s sig… Bodes well for the Chili Challenge. ---

Put me down for a won’t-know-til-later, but if I can come (which I really really hope to), I volunteer to bring chocolate chip cookies, since that’s about the only thing I can make with any sort of proficiency. 😃 ---

I better be able to eat that chili, **DoktorFluff!** and Twickster, as to the transportation issue, I’m in Shippensburg. I can maybe beg of **MsRobyn** or **DoktorFluff** , as they are so much closer… ---

I can maybe beg of **MsRobyn** or **DoktorFluff** , as they are so much closer… Not a problem. In fact, if **Doktor Fluff** wants to park his car at my house and ride down with us, too, that’d be okay. We’d better have T-shirts by then. Gots to represent! Robin ---

> [@MsRobyn](#): > > For this Dopefest, it will be potluck. Bring something that will travel well and not require special storage. Well there goes ice cream. I figured since these things are usually so quiet and restrained, some sugar might help get things moving. One of these days, who knows, we might get some mixed-company action… We could always bring plates and such, though I defy anyone to try eating a styrofoam (or strong paper) bowl. Since it makes sense for **fizzy** and me to make our semi-annual pilgrimmage/“we’re still alive” trip up then, it stands to reason that we can take two people (or three small/friendly folk) with us. **gobear** , shall I pre-emptively schedule you and my brother for the back seat? [sub]Yeah, I know how that looks. However, bear in mind A) gobear’s got a boyfriend and B) my brother is straight and soooo jailbait.[/sub] ---

You’re lucky I don’t have a stovetop available or I’d smoke both your chili-cooking asses with my cheesesteaks. ---

If that T-shirt link is suggesting what I think it is… …no SD thong for me, but I’m sure someone would be brave enough. Now to come up with some good food, unlike the Wallyburgers of the Pitt Mini-Dope. ---

Considering I get cereal right only 50% of the time, I’m safer bringing utinsels. ---

Gettysburg DopeFest, June 19, bring food…got it written on my calendar at work. Hope my boss doesn’t ask questions, as I’m not sure where I’d begin with an explaination. I’ll be there.
