I will be happy to grope you in a purely Platonic manner, Geobabe. We (the BF and I)will be on the road as soon as my Sweet Chili Cornbread finishes baking.
Hey, I got nothing against getting groped by gay men, gobear, you know that! 
See y’all there! Wooooo!
Them academic types - what are they thinking, assigning homework the weekend of a Dopefest?? (Or, in Jess’ case - sorry you can’t be here, babe - holding classes on Labor Day?)
Anyhow, sorry you can’t make it, Lucretia and Bluesman. See you Halloween, if not sooner.
gobear - sweet chili cornbread, huh? Sounds delicious! Drive safe, now. 
We are waiting for The Littlest Doper[sup]TM[/sup] to wake up and we’re on our way!
RT, thanks to you and your wife for a lovely afternoon. It was very kind of you to open your home for a Labor Day Dopefest. FTR, my BF had a great time and he is thinking about registering.
Ha ha! We suck in yet another one!
Thanks to RT and Jackie for a fab time–and thanks to RT for the grope. Somebody hadda do it. Way to take one for the team!
We didn’t scare him off with tales of TMI and dolphin porn, Japscat and sucking up vomitous—
::courteous punha interrupts at this point::
Forget all that. We just . . . gave him the low-down on some rather unusual (we hope) practices.
Anyway, I’m back at school and no longer buzzed (I think) from that hard lemonade.
I swear I didn’t know it had alcohol in it at the time. Oh well, no harm. My parents were okay with it.
I’m such a total loser! I uploaded the pics when I got home, then forgot to post the link :X
PICTURES HERE - feel free to post comments to these, including who is who and what is happening.
(clarification: the gallery program allows you to post comments directly to the images themselves)
Glad everyone had a good time - Jacki and I sure did!!
Geobabe, that’s gropes - remember I kinda balanced things out as you were leaving. Rough work, but somebody had to do it! 
gobear, I enjoyed talking with you, and I’m glad we didn’t scare off your BF!
Opal - great to spend some more time with you and UDD, and thanks for posting the pix!
FTR, all the ‘definites’ showed, except for PLD and Peta (Phil’s band scheduled a practice for yesterday at 5, unfortunately), plus we had gobear’s BF, Mike Masterson, and SqrlCub in attendance. I’ve got a decent-sized deck, but 19 people is definitely max capacity!
For once, it can honestly be said that I was playing with a full deck.
::D&R::
Sorry 'bout that RT…they’re a great bunch of guys (his band–now that the old drummer is gone), but they’re terribly last minute about things like this (decisions, rehearsals, gigs, etc.). PLD was plenty irritated about it, if that helps…
Oh. Christ. I just saw the video of me.
Eh. I guess it could be worse. I could have taken my shirt off or something, I dunno.
::makes a mental note never to drink alcohol at a dopefest again::
No biggie - sometimes stuff like that happens. I’m just sorry I didn’t get the chance to see you guys!
Sorry I didn’t post yesterday; things were very busy at work and at home.
Thank you, RT, for opening your home to a bunch of straingers (some strainger than others 
). Mrs. Spritle and I had a wonderful time meeting everyone and visiting. The Littlest Doper[sup]TM[/sup] had a great time, too. He talked and talked about it all the way home.
To non-attendees who are reading this:
I met OpalCat and said “Hi, Opal”. I think I was entertained by this more than she.
Geobabe is as pretty in person as her SDPeoplePages pic. She’s taller than the picture too.
Someone said (and I won’t tell who) “I sit by rocks all night and wait for the sperm but it never comes.”
RTFirefly’s tail does not light up. Ever.
Regardless of what you may have heard, do NOT EVER let a male dolphin ejaculate in your rectum.
iampunha’s hair is getting longer. Soon, he can braid it into a bull whip. And won’t that be fun. As long as we’re on the topic of iampunha, nobody, and I mean nobody believed that lame excuse about not realizing that Hard Lemonade contained alcohol. I mean why do you think it’s called “Hard” Lemonade?? Wait, don’t answer that.
Undead dude is more lifelike than you might imagine.
Weird Dave is aptly named, but in a good way.
Wendell Wagner, though he may never admit it, loves babies. At least he seemed to tolerate mine.
Gobear used to be Goboy, but I predict he will find the homey within and change his name to YouGoBwee!
Ramesh is very suave. Like Ricardo Montelban with personality.
Everyone there was super to hang with.
Thanks again!!
