Good. I can wear the same outfit I wore for this year’s festival. ::digging out feather boa and day-glo body paint:: ---

Strainger - Is there a web page or a telephone number for the Ramada? Do we have to tell them we are part of a group or anything? Also, I’m willing to share rooms with anyone who is looking. I don’t snore or smoke but I have been known to hog the bathroom. Oh, and I spoon to the right if I am the spooner, the left if I am the spoonee. ---

[sub]Well I suppose I could flip over[/sub] **Diane** , [here](http://www.the.ramada.com/redondobeach13242?sid=AAACEgAAWAAAhG1AAT) is the link the Ramada Limited Redondo Beach. I don’t know if it’ll really matter if you give them my name or not, except they’d probably try to put you closer to our rooms in that event (which, if we could get all the rooms close together, would be a good thing. That way, we could party in the centrally-located room and not worry about disturbing anyone). I’ll check with **Mauvaise** and **Scotticher** about fitting you in if that would be fine with you. ---

Yikes, a lot can happen when you leave for the weekend. I’d love to share a room with whoever will have me( **Mauvaise - Scotticher**?). A non-smoking room is fine with me, since I’m only a smoker for short, specific amounts of time. ---

I’ve talked to Scotti (didn’t want to speak for her), and if **Boli** and **Diane** still need a bed, they are more than welcome to the extra one in our room 🙂 Give me an email ([mauvaise3@home.com](mailto:mauvaise3@home.com)) and let me know. ---

Room arrangements thus far: Room 1 Me Padeye JimB thinksnow Room 2 Mauvaise Scotticher Diane boli (?) Room 3 pricciar Doob Monster104 **Attention California Dopers** I just got a notice from Southwest Airlines. They have another fare sale going on: $39 one way for travel in California. I haven’t had a chance to check out the details myself, but go ahead and click [here](http://www.southwest.com/jp/hotfares2.shtml?src=0807). Dunno how that competes with other fares, but have a look (beware the taxes). ---

I am filled with such acute jealousy at the thought of missing such a big Dopefest. On the other hand, it’s kind of far away. San Luis Obispo was far enough. ---

Anyone who hasn’t already dropped dough for airfare… American Airlines is apparently having a [one-day blowout sale](http://travel.yahoo.com/t/specials/tvly/aaad.html). Might be worth your looking into it! ---
