[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] Got the directions; I’ll be there. You might not even recognize me. Heheheheh. [/QUOTE] Now I’m scared! Oh, and I have the good camera, and it’s all charged up! ---

I have the address, but we’re not sure if we’ll make it. We’ll see how we feel at the end of the juggling festival we’ll be attending until this evening. If we do come, it will likely be just a short visit on our way home from the festival (sorry, no costumes–can’t juggle in costumes). We will have Dominic with us, though… anyone know if that would be a problem? ---

I’m afraid I’m out. Schedule conflict that did not get resolved until last night. (Family won.) ---

Thanks, **BMalion** , for hosting us. A splendid time was had by all! Here’s my U.S. history quiz, as we discussed: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=441644&page=1&pp=50](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=441644&page=1&pp=50) ---

Wheeee! We showed up a little late–we were at the juggling festival all afternoon, then stopped for dinner and headed to the party. We came dressed as juggling festival attendees–highly authentic, though. We had a blast. Dominic hung out watching videos in the back, so he was entertained (I was thinking that we probably wouldn’t stay long mainly because I figured Dominic would get bored.) It was great meeting everyone, and in the case of samclem, seeing you again! I’m looking forward to the next shindig, for sure. Yay! ---

I took a five mile hike today, followed by a tough curling draw where my sweeping threatened to crack the ice, and I don’t think I burned up enough calories to offset the excellent food I enjoyed last night. Again, it was great seeing you all again! ---

I didn’t get home until 1 a.m., and had to work today, so pictures will be posted tomorrow sometime…apparently Yahoo Photos is changing, so I have to find another site. But it was a great time, and so nice to finally meet OpalCat! Thanks, Bmalion, for being such a gracious host…who else would allow juggling in the living room? And the pie was wonderful. Oh, and you can stop searching for the jelly-jar band…I found it! ---

Thank you all for being such fun! After most of you left, I washed up and stayed up talking until 5:30 am :eek: Next time, food coloring, I promise. ---

Okay, okay, okay! I work retail! I get no time off! But I finally have two days off to figure out the new Flickr account stuff, so let’s see if this works… [CleveDopeFest 10-27-2007 | Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/gp/16840344@N05/1YH1y3) And I do appreciate the nagging. I need it. Sorry. And feel free to add comments or corrections to the pictures. I’ll work on the 12-29-2007 pictures in a couple hours… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cleveland-westside-halloween-dopefest/421255.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cleveland-westside-halloween-dopefest/421255.md?page=5)
