Won’t a bonfire in the woods set the trees on fire? And I for one would love to watch you guys do a drum-circle, but am rhythmically challenged myself.
Djembes? Tablas? Doumbeks? Bongos?
My friend that lives in Lakewood has the best sounding djembe I’ve ever heard, the bass note is incredible. If I can bring it, which I probably can, I’ll be in your drum circle. I’m a drummer, if that helps.
One doumbek, one small djembe, one large djembe, one (child’s) bongo and two egg shakers.
I might even bring my digeridoo… though I play it poorly so far.
sob - I will be leaving on a jet plane to Florida on Friday and won’t be coming back until Sunday, so I won’t be able to be there :(. I was kind of hoping my midwife would put me on a no-fly status (not just to attend, but because I REALLY dread flying right now), but no go, and it’s a big family affair that I can’t miss otherwise.
Someone have a beer or two or three for me. 
E.
That’s enough to make a good drum circle, with drummers, or stoned people. We might be outta luck.
Wait, I’ve taught drunk people to groove in a drum circle, I’m sure that doing so with smart people won’t be that hard. No herb required.
One thing to remember - on one side of the woods is a condo complex.
So we need airhorns too? 
I don’t know if I can come or not. I spend my saturdays doing construction at my mom’s church, and lately it’s been wearing me out pretty good.
Plus, I am a really big weenie. I will need to see if I can get someone to come with me.
Have fun, anyway! 
And a bigger bonfire. After those condo folks are evacuated by the firemen, they won’t be so concerned about a little bit of noise.
I’ll go with you. When you show up, just ask “Is Tom here?” I’ll wave at Dan and indicate that you are there with me and you can then go off and hang with the cool people who show up.
(I’ve never been to a Dopefest where they bit or gave out cooties, so it really should not be a problem.)
Is it kosher to bring my non-doper friend and his wife? I’ll be staying with them that night, and they know the area much better than I do.
I told them that nudity would be kept to a minimum, so if you guys could just play along untill we leave, I’d really appreciate it. That goes double for you Uncle Beer!
But, but, but . . . my suit’s at the cleaners.
Can’t see why not.
Guinness usually greets visitors by bringing them a gift. He’'s got plenty of squeak toys he’ll bring to you if you’re nice.
Backup plan if there’s a rain delay: the Welsh Woods picnic area in the Euclid Creek Metropark; it’s about a half mile from my house. Come to my place first, though.
I’ve decided on bringing veggies, crackers and dip…I kicked up the heat of the dip a notch for you guys…and maybe a pie.
oooOOooooh! When come, bring pie!
Grizz LIKES pie!
MisterThyristor is a maybe. He’s always working.
I should be there by 5 or a little after. At least the rain was yesterday. Today looks MUCH better.
I’ll be shooting for a 3 PM appearance. Supposedly it’s only 45 minutes… I thought Euclid was further for some reason.
Yikes! I might not be ready by then. At 3:00, I’ll probably be finishing up cleaning, and heading out for ice.
Good news: only a 30% chance of rain.
