Say, **Coldfire** , you can stay with me [sub]and Silo[/sub]. I’ll bring some _hopjes_ or soemthing…wait, I guess you can get those whenever you want, so nevermind. BTW, can I put in an order for two bags of stroopwafels? Please? In other news, I’ll be bringing Stroh, so you Left-Coasters will get a chance to sample the true nectar o’the gods. ---

I dunno, **Coldie** - think there’s room for Eduardo, too? (That is, assuming he’s not dead by now…) Oh, no, never mind - he’ll be staying with **Monster**. 😉 Esprix ---

**Merc** , oh humble (::snicker:🙂 list master, put me in the Definite column. And get ready to remove about 10 people from the Definite column, after they see that I’m coming. Tickets are booked, boli has my flight info–looking forward to meeting everyone! Quix P.S. I’m thinking about reserving a room, if there are still people without sleeping space. If you’d be interested in rooming with me, email me at [quixotic78@hotmail.com](mailto:quixotic78@hotmail.com). All standard disclaimers apply, offer not valid in Tennessee, etc etc. ---

Ladies and Gentlemen. After several minutes of deliberation, and discussing the topic with **Merc** , it’s entered my head that it’s possible for me to attend this. By late October, I could save enough money to afford round trip bus fare to LA, hotel money and maybe even a little spending cash. I’d get to see LA, be at the biggest party I’ve EVER attended, and meet a LOT of you. Of course, I’d be spending a total five days on a bus to spend three days with you all. So you people BETTER have some good shit planned to do :D. Nothing’s for sure yet, but… I just might be there! ---

Mnemeth, that’s great, but are you sure it wouldn’t be cheaper to fly? Five days on a bus is a LOT. If the difference isn’t that great, I say you should spring for it. We’ll buy you drinks, so don’t worry about money while you’re here. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Monster104 \* > \*\*Hmm…we might need to try to get a larger reservation… \*\* He bristled when I said 50, so I figured that if 60 people showed up, they’d just have to add more tables on the ends to accomodate us. Someone from our group (me - I’ll be happy to do it) has to go there in person the day before to confirm. By then we’ll have a definite number and we can spring it on them then. I don’t forsee that it’ll be a problem. * * * Jeg elsker dig, Thomas ---

I can hear it now… “Shayna, party of sixty, your table is ready.” Is anyone keeping track of who has rooms and who’s in each room and whether someone has extra space? I haven’t seen a list since Strainger filled his first three rooms. I’m just wondering in case some people are thinking they have to get rooms when there is extra space available with others. And how many rooms do we have now? Do we have the entire hotel yet? Jim ---

Actually, it’ll be “ **Cecil Adams** , party of sixty? Your table is ready…” 😉 I don’t know who I’m going to stay with yet, but maybe I’ll just let y’all fight over who gets me in their room. \ Oh, and **Shayna** , dear?
