That’s even past MY bedtime! - well, some of us have to keep this Internet thingie running while the rest of you good citizens get your beauty sleep - or whatever sort of sleep it is you’re getting. 😛 Then again, sneaking in under **Shayna** (Hi Sweetie!) is certainly not less fun just because it’s after bedtime.

Ever since my computer crashed, I have been so freakin’ out of the loop… I get to check my email about once a week on my BIL’s computer, if I’m lucky. That being said… There is no way I’d miss this for the world! To be in the same room as **Coldfire**? Be still my beating heart! 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Shogun Haircut \* > \*\*im kinda of a newbie and i was wondering what happens at an average dopefest? \*\* A little bit like what happens at [Burning Man](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a981113.html). The main difference is that we burn an effigy of Marilyn vos Savant, so I guess you could call it a “burning woman” festival. ---
