I swear I read that as “foursome going!”
'Tis a stretch of a drive, but is there somewhere to crash? Holiday Inn, Motel Six, Dempsey Dumpster?
…check your email!
I’ve checked out the local dumpsters, and they’re really quite roomy and dry!
:: D&R ::
I should be able to make it.
I resemble that remark.
I’m up for it…but I thought Sqrl and I got to dress up like Phil and Peta? We did it at the Raleigh Dopefest.
I am a male.
I am a husband.
I am a newlywed husband.
Guess what’s coming up the weekend of the 28th?
Sorry, RTF, plans have been made for me that weekend. Fortunately I remembered them before I asked if we were doing anything that Saturday, thus saving my scalp and other sensitive parts. :eek:
Damn! My mom will be in town from Denver that weekend, so I am out. Hopefully I’ll be able to come to the next DC area get together.
:::mubble, why do they always have these things on the few weekends I have plans? mummble, mummble:::
I will check with Skulldigger, but there is some possibility we could drive up. (Maybe we’ll dress as Sqrl and Peta, and confuse everybody! :D)
Poly, that would be great if you guys could come!
I’m sure we’ve got another dumpster or two in the vicinity…
Wendell and DC, looking forward to seeing you guys.
Olentzero, sorry you can’t make it, but give my best to Mrs. Olentzero. We’ll get together soon.
Bluemonchichi - what, you can’t talk your mom into coming with you to a party with a bunch of people you’ve never met? Geez, I just don’t get it. Hope to see you at the next DC-area get-together.
Lessee: Sqrl and DC will be dressed as Phil and Peta, Phil and Peta will be dressed as each other, Poly and Skulldigger will be dressed as Sqrl and Peta, Montfort will be the devil in disguise…who should I be?
I got it - I’ll be Bluesman! 
I’ll overnight you a uniform, RT. You may need a good tailor to go with it, though.
Just sent directions to those of you who said they might make it. (Those of you in the DC area, anyway - I should have directions by tomorrow for those of you considering coming up from points south.)
Anyone else who needs directions, let me know!
Oh, RT, I would love to go, but I have to work :(. I am kicking myself for agreeing to do overtime that day!! I am so pissed. I could call out but I really need the money, if you know what I mean. Then that night I am going to Velvet Nation for Damnation, the Halloween Bash (we’re going to be Titania and Oberon, Queen and King of the Fairies).
But listen, next party, I am soooo there. Hopefully around Christmas time. I am thisclose to getting my liscence (1 driver’s ed class, then six hours driving time) so by then it will be much more convenient for me anyway (I don’t want to have to harrass anyone for a ride home, ya know).
As soon as I get my liscence, and have off work, I will do my best to organize a get together. I promise. 
I regret to report that I’m putting in some serious overtime working both Sat & Sun this weekend and next (maybe the one after that, too). In exchange for that, they’re giving me fridays off.
I might even be working on Christmas day, too. What the hell’s wrong with me??
Too bad on both counts…Sara, I’ve wanted to meet you since some threads last spring, and opus, I’m sorry I won’t get to see you again.
We’ll just have to do better advance planning before the next one of these.
Bastards - I’m having my party the same day. HARUMPH!
Well, there went the last, best hope of meeting me before I depart for shores western. C’est la vie, mes amis…
Esprix
No meeting Esprix? Well, hmpf. pout
Guess I’ll just have to come out THERE next summer. (What can I say? Esprix is pretty high on the “Dopers I need to meet” list!)
Esprix - sorry you can’t make it, guy. I enjoy your posts. But I do get out to the Left Coast periodically - where are you moving to?
Looks like we’re gonna get a reasonable-sized DC-area contingent, plus a carload driving up from Raleigh. Looking forward to seeing y’all - and anyone who just now found out about this and wants to come, email me for directions!
Well, darn it… My folks are visiting from California so I’m out. And, I have this great Raquel Welchish cave-woman costume too! Maybe next year!
RT, I’m moving to San Diego, looks like December 31.
Esprix
Well, Barb, Sarah, and I are definitely coming. However, Barb and I are coming as ourselves: Skulldigger the anthropologist in proper field attire and St. Polycarp Bishop of Smyrna.
