Just wanted to remind everyone that I, too, will be bringing my camera, too. It’s good to see someone else with a camera… hopefully I’ll actually get my picture taken this time. ---

Take me off the maybe list. Are you INSANE? Why would I want cruel pictures of me (and all photos of me are cruel) posted on the internet for anyone to not only point and laugh, but download and then submit to sites devoted to making fun of the less fortunate among us, namely ME? \ stoid ---

After the first Dopefest I went to, Shayna didn’t want her face to appear online, either, so I put a big ol’ Smiley face to cover her up. If you need to, I’ll do the same thing for you, too. ---

I’ll bring a camera too! It’s a regular one, though. No instant gratification, you’ll just have to wait. 🙂 ---

I bought my ticket. I’m all set, a ride with Demo, and room with Strainger. Thanks guys. The flights are filling up here at DFW, so I ended up there a little earlier than originally planned but not enought to worry about. See y’all soon, Jim ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mercutio \* > **I want to take a lot of egotistical pictures of myself.** Hun, I think I have egotistical pictures of you, the problem is, they’re from… like… eighth grade or something. Unless… nevermind… I know your mind. I doubt my mom would let me go down. Unless I took a train… I’ll propose it in the morning, eh? I think it’d be worth it to see you (plus the Dopers) and everyone else I’ve been detached from. I need to be Mama Yeti to a few people, they’ve got emotional owwies. How many other people can claim to baby people twice their age, huh?! Anyhow… yeah… put me on the “maybe” list for now. It’s very, very worth it for me to ride down there for that weekend. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mercutio \* > \*\*I **am** a photographer, you know. I want to get artsy without spending money on film. \*\* I’ll bring my mom’s digital camera down with me. It uses a memory stick, as well… **Manservant Hecubus** and **Sue Duhnym** were discussing the VAIO (the thing I’m using at the moment)… I’ll bring the hookups for the camera so we don’t have to take the stick out. And then we can simply transfer the evidence. I mean, pictures. ---

Put me down as a “maybe.” I’ll know better in a couple of weeks - if I don’t get laid off, the odds of me making this thing go up. ---
