Yeah, what is this? Some secret plan? So detailed and complex you’ve got to draw a diagram? Is this about that mickey I told **porc** I was going to slip in your drink? If it is, it was just a joke. Honest! ---

**drop** , that sounds good. FYI, my behavior at DopeFests is rather different than my behavior at work. 😉 I am really looking forward to this. I am not in a good state today, though, but hopefully that will change this evening. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by porcupine \* > **FYI, my behavior at DopeFests is rather different than my behavior at work. 😉** That’s a given. I know I don’t have to tell you not to mention your blue friend in any interviews, for instance. 🙂 ---

You know how I mentioned earlier that I was planning on dyeing my hair red? Well, it didn’t turn out quite the way I wanted it too. I started my hair at 1 a.m. last night after everybody had gone to sleep. When I washed the dye out, I looked like I had Barney the Dinosaur sitting on my head. I’m not exaggerating either, my hair was bright purple. At 8 a.m., I rushed out to the drug store with a really big hat on and bought some dark brown dye in a vain attempt to fix it. My hair is still purple, but now it is a very dark purplish-red. I don’t dare try to dye it a third time, it might fall out. So the first person who laughs at my hair will get a severe spanking (no, not the good kind either). ---

Oh good land, **Shadow** , what a predicament! No worries, eh?! We’ll have a great time regardless of our respective hair colors. And I won’t let anyone call you ‘Barney’ either. 😃 ---

Don’t leave Illinois just yet! I hear there’s a party tonight. And a LOT of people don’t think it is such a bad state! OH! :slaps forehead: I get it! You mean the Illinois will be a better state when **UncleBill** arrives at 5:44 this afternoon! Aw, gee :blushes: that’s sweet. ---

BTW, is anyone going to post anything after tonight’s little shindig? I was thinking of doing a quick scan of the thread before we left in the morning. ---

I’m not going to be able to leave the 'burbs until 8 at the EARLIEST and if you guys start at Resis at 4 are you SURE you will still be there around 9? Will there be anyone remotely sober? ---

When do the festivities start tonight? (I’ve seen references here to 4, 5:44 and 8.) I wasn’t sure I was going to make it tonight, but I was in my first-ever car accident this morning (I’m okay, although my car isn’t), and beer in a beer garden is looking REAL good right now. (or will look good after I finish dealing with cops, insurance agents, insurance adjusters, body shops, car rental firms, and a boatload of work-related phone messages.) ---

Miss Creant and Random, I was originally told that the Resi’s gathering didn’t even BEGIN until 8, so I’m a little lost at the 4:00 starting time as well. I will be arriving around eightish. So I’ll certainly be there at 9 jarbaby ---

Well, hell, I can’t even _possibly_ get there before 8 at this point. So that’s when the party starts 😉 ---
