oh, and if I can find a suitable top, y’all will be able to see my dazzeling 5 different tan lines from the Cowalunga (3 day, 180 mile bike ride for the American Lung Association) And I only fell once. At least I wasn’t the once knocked of their bike by the horse so there is an up side. ---

Usually there are so many flashes going off at a Dopefest, you can hardly see. Don’t worry about a shortage of cameras. Trust me. ---

I will come bearing camera. Now, if I can just get someone to remind me to USE it, we’ll be all set. **Miss** , you’ll be lovely, darling, just being you. No fretting now! 😃 ---

I have no tan lines. [sub]This is because I have no tan.[/sub] **Miss Creant** , **boli** is right; typically more people have cameras than not. I have a couple of disposables for the weekend - I usually don’t end up taking many of the pictures, though. I’ll have them developed onto CD and put them up on a web page somewhere. ---

Nope, **think** , that was Leona’s, IIRC. I’ve got maps to all the important locations [sub]except my place[/sub] in the OP. ---

So is the drinking starting tomorrow around 8 ? I’m planning on having all my fun tomorrow night.Thanks to my Mother being born on the 25th and an Aunt being in town i doubt i’ll make Sat night. ---

What time would the **Amazing porcupine[sup]TM[/sup]** like to arrive at Resi’s? I COULD land at 1:42p, 3:43p, or 5:44p, depending on how early I can bolt from here. 3:43p would prolly be easiest to finagle. ---

**UncleBill** , 3:43 sounds good - I doubt I’ll be there much before four-ish. There’s only so much drinking I can do in a night, you know. 😉 ---

Thanks for the cell numbers, folks. I just got back from this afternoon’s Cubs game, and I have to say that Wrigley is the coolest ballpark I’ve ever been to. I grew up in Massachusetts, and yes, this includes Fenway Park. Holy cow! Small park, no flashing banner ads cluttering it up, no annoying annoucers, no hype or theme songs for the players, just baseball and fans. Life is good. ---

**mag** , I’m quite sure we’ll still be there at 10 - it doesn’t look like most people are coming til 8-ish. BTW, I have a neon-orange sign that say “Cecil Adams Family Reunion.” ---

OK, the baseball game is out. I got a free ticket to tomoorw afternoon’s game. 🙂 I’m not sure what that means about my sobriety level when the resi’s crowd rolls in. I hope I can count on MikeG for a ride home since he lives near me. Or else I’ll be cabbing it. Or maybe I’ll grab a nap in between and be ok. it kinda depends on how the game goes. See yall tomorrow. Vile ---

Just a note to let everyone know I’m seething with jealousy that y’all get to party tonight and I don’t. Rats! However, I am in preparation for tomorrow: my bags are packed (almost), I’m planning on going to bed early-ish, te camera has film in it, and the car will be washed and filled so **Shadow** and I can hit the road early. And while you’re at it tonight, raise a glass to the Crunchy’s women’s softball team: we won our tournament last night by one run, beating a team we’ve struggled against all season. Hooray for us! 😃 ---

Hey **think** and **Vileorb** , I can give you a lift home but I would recommend that **think** park down by Resi’s and we will pick the car up Sat morning as parking is really terrible around my place. ---
