Did Maeg just perk?
The end times are upon us.
I STILL think that we have to have a ChiDope during the week sometime, and all of us attend a taping of the Jerry Springer show. We’d be the best studio audience yet.
Let me get this straight…a bunch of you are going to get together…drink…talk about sex…and play games with sex toys???
Damn i wish i could come!!! I’m new to this whole dope thing, but it sure sounds like fun!
Have a great weekend!
Can it really be that I got whooshed by my own financier? I hate when that happens!
Well, considering that it was a somewhat obscure joke, I shan’t feel too bad about it.
Oh, it is. These things are a blast. Hope to see you at the next one. We post where the DopeFests are going to be here on the boards, so hopefully soon we’ll be somewhere near you.
Since Jane D’oh was arranging the cheap suites at the Doubletree, she may have a comprehensive list of who will be staying there. Apparently we add together with the result from the Embassy Suites across the street and then multiply by the square root of [symbol]p[/symbol] to get the correct result.
I am at the Doubletree. Hope they still give you two cookies at check-in.
And lno, thanks for the tip about the dipnet.
Moderator’s Notes: It appears all the furor over iampuhna’s potential consumption of alcoholic beverages is for naught. That being the case, the snide remarks directed at Dex are inappropriate, not that they’d be proper in any case.
Let’s just drop the subject before this gets out of hand.
Ack, I was away from the boards all yesterday afternoon, and missed the uproar.
Sorry guys.
Can I still come? 
Oh, I think the room at the Embassy O’Hare has a king sized bed, so don’t be shy, people!
Come early, come often!
I’m getting confirmation numbers later this morning. After I talk to the Doublertree guy, I’ll post my final reservations list. (Hopefully within an hour or two.)
It appears that we have 11 rooms at the Doubletree and three rooms here at the Embassy Suites.
It’s gonna be a party.
I’ll be in for the limo on Saturday night. Or, if someone designate wants to drive my car we can fit two other people in it.

Dont be deceived by the term ‘lounge’ in reference to the DoubleTree. I had a drink in the DoubleTree Lounge and it cost me 7.00 for a vodka and coke. So it should be pretty classy
-
Mr. Jar is afraid that we’re going to burn my house down at the brunch…so…let’s try not to.
-
Remember this is daylight savings weekend so Timmy’s will close an hour early I think
-
Timothy O’Toole’s DOES card after about 7:00 I think, but since we have a room, maybe punha and other under agers can get a no-drinking wrist band or something.
yay!

Why does this make me nervous?
And Maeglin, I’m not sure what kind of battles you participate in, mine have on-call artillery, close air support, maybe even Naval Gunfire if I can get the USS Iowa into Lake Michigan by Saturday. We’d need a big playground, or something. And earplugs.
Now THAT’S a BATTLE!
I was under the impression that we were meeting in the bar at the Embassy Hotel on Friday night. Am I wrong in this assumption?
BTW, I posted this a while ago, but I never got any kind of reply to it. I have a double room with two beds, and no roommates to share it with as of yet. If anybody is planning on attending and still hasn’t secured sleeping accommodations, send me an e-mail.
Just a play on words, dearest. Nothing to be concerned about.
No worries. typo mna and I will juggle the flaming torches outside. Burn the lawn down, maybe, but that’s the price you pay.
Screw the F-4B; can you get an A-10? I’ve always wanted to see one close up (and preferably strafing I-90).
Um… could we get this resolved before Saturday? If I can’t get into the venue for Saturday night, I’d like to know in advance so I can just stay home rather then get thrown out.
THAN. Rather THAN get thrown out. Ugh.
I just called the bar. The guy who answered the phone wasn’t positive, but he didn’t think they’d allow any underage people in the bar at all. He suggested I call back in an hour when “Andre” would be there. More as it develops.
I hope it doesn’t offend porcupine or other organizers that I called the bar. I was just trying to be helpful, and I didn’t identify the party I was associated with.
What can I say? I’m nostalgic. While I have great respect and admiration for the Warthog, and it WILL do a number on that damnable SUV that cut you off, something about the F-4 gets me grinning. Maybe being rattled awake by them every morning at 7:30 as I was growing up near MCAS, Beaufort. Maybe that it takes them two Midwestern states to turn around, or that they prove the theory that with sufficient thrust, bricks DO fly.
Sound is important. F-4s ROAR. A-10s [sub]whine[/sub]. Although that 20mm gatlin gun is a mighty fine piece o’ work.
Which would mean you would have to have one in Alberta Canada…and i have yet to come across any dopers from this area! But if you give me a year…i’ll be living in the states. Then i’ll come party with you forsure!
