Well, I’m leaving for Vegas tomorrow, so I’ll be without internet access until the Dopefest. If anybody wants to plan something for Friday night (or Thursday, for that matter, if anyone’s gonna be in town), let me know. Also, I’d definitely like to check out the Tate at some point during the weekend - anybody have anything concrete on that excursion? I look forward to meeting all of you I haven’t met and getting reacquainted with those I have. I mean this in the most sexual way possible, of course. ---

Just a bump to tell you all to send me you room assignments!!! I have to get them to Shayna so she can see if they’ll give us the meeting room! So far: 14 rooms 29-31 people ---

Holy cow! Malky too?! Could this get any better? AAAACK! I swear I might die before Friday gets here. ---

I have the motel confirmation numbers for those in my rooms saved on my answering machine. I’ll email those numbers to all affected parties tomorrow. Thanks to **Shayna** for finding us a motel and a place for dinner. Also thanks to **Shayna and Sue** for working on getting us a late night party room in the hotel up the road. Thanks to **Padeye** for getting our rental car. Uh, you _are_ getting the rental car, aren’t you **Padeye**? ---

Oh, and when I said “Tate”, I of course meant the “Getty”. London and L.A. - I mix 'em up all the time. I think it’s the rich history they both have that confuses me. And the similar weather. ---

I got my work schedule, so I’ll be discussing things with Spoofe and our parents. Right now, it looks like we will drive in late Friday (after I have work and have cashed my paycheck 😉 ), pass out drunkenly, wake up hungover, stumble through the day in a haze, eat food, drink more, and hopefully pass out there again, and leave sunday. However, if I work Sunday… I’ll call in sick. 😃 ---

I’m into doing the Getty on Saturday. It is a spectacular place. Definitely worth more than the price of admission. 😉 ---

Just a word of warning: My appearance is starting to look REALLY shaky, what with my financial situation (or lack thereof). I can most likely make it to one of the days (most likely Saturday) but given the fact that I have zero cash (and have been practically living entirely on the good graces of others), more than that is unlikely. I’ll keep trying to scrounge up cash. Maybe a quick bank heist on Thursday is in order. ---

You do mean the new Getty, right? Not the other one on PCH? I’m so there for a trip to the new Getty. I didn’t get a chance to go before I moved out of LA. :: starts chanting :: Getty! Getty! Getty! Ooooh, email from Jeff tomorrow – I don’t get nearly enough of those 😛 ---

I am not into the Getty much either. May I suggest for those who don’t want to go to the Getty on Saturday afternoon an alternative trip to Santa Monica and Venice Beach? ---

Hmmm… on second thought, that might not be such a bad idea. We’re a bunch of smart people. We could figure out how to get in there. And we could solve Spoofe’s money woes with just one or two paintings. So whaddaya say, people? Anyone else up for a life of crime? ---

The Getty is a huge museum - the old one was in Malibu, and they are currently renovating it. The new one is known for it’s architecture and spectacular views as well as the collections.
