**Iampunha** , I live near Old Town, but I could easily meet you at Pentagon City or some such Beltway-friendly location. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jonathan Chance \* > Boston delicacy, eh? I suppose SexyWriter is out of the question? You know, I saw that line coming when I wrote my post. Really, I did. But I decided to take a risk on the discretion and good taste of my fellow dopers. I knew you wouldn’t let me down. As for bringing something, I was thinking of a friend of mine from when I lived in Harrisburg. She had a friend who would bring a case of hard cider whenever she visitied from Boston. Just imagine the possibilities if we could get the far-flung dopers of the world together; Copper River salmon with Chesapeake crabs and San Francisco sourdough… I may have to start a thread just for hypothetical suggestions. ---

Put me down as a maybe. If I have re-located to D.C. by then, I will definitely be there. If I haven’t, I’ll try, but it will be harder. Sua ---

**Robot Arm** , I knew the shot was cheap but who am I to turn down a straight line like that? Some things have to be said. I like the idea of regional delicacies. If we can get Dopers of the world to attend the party that would be wonderful. **SuaSponte** I hope you can make it and I hope your move goes well. So, to date we’re looking at interest from: \*\* Montfort activgurl RTFirefly iampunha (and maybe phantomdiver) ultress goboy Who\_me? Olentzero and Mrs O JuanitaTech Lucretia, Bluesman and kids RobotArm Weirddave SuaSponte \*\* What a great response. Any more? ---

Pentagon City sounds fine, **goboy**. Right now it’s just me coming. iamsister1 (also known as phantomdaughter1) has an awards ceremony that is theoretically that day, so that takes precedence for everyone but me. Plus pd ain’t social much at all escept when she has to be. I will warn you all in advance: I am a savage volleyball player. ---

So, I haven’t found anyplace that looks good for camping, but I think I’m gonna enjoy the Shenandoah Valley & Harper’s Ferry. I hope the weather cooperates! ---

Well, here I was all ready to give this its bi-weekly bumpity bump bump and here **activgurl** went and did it for me. **AG** , I can’t really offer to show you any camping space (as I don’t know any) but, if you want to bring a tent and stay overnight on my little acre and a half, you’re more than welcome. AND you wouldn’t be the only one who’s mentioned such a plan. So, my bump this week is about food. What should I bring in? I’ll have cold cuts in the afternoon (we always do that) but in the evening I’ll have stuff catered in. What do you all like? I could have BBQ brought in, or some other meat thing, I could have hot finger food brought in like swedish meatballs or pigs in a blankets… Really, the possibilities are almost endless. I’m looking for suggestions here. And I wouldn’t mind some suggestions for my vegetarian pals, too. ---

Hey, I’m staying out of the whole ‘young lovers’ thing other than to say, “Ain’t Love Grand!” No we don’t have a pool, there isn’t public water out here so it’d be a leetle bit difficult to keep the thing filled. We’ve toyed with the whole ‘above ground’ thing but will probably wait until Lil Baby Kate is a bit older. So, once again, all I can offer you is: Free Booze Loud Music Much Food Quality Entertainment and the beauty of the Appalachians Maybe, if the timing works out, we can even get the Underbear to attend. I’m on the list, you know. Any other party-type suggestions? And **Anniz** …what if we set up a webcam? Could you track **Montfort** that way? Could he attend then? ---

I think **moi** and I are definite maybes. Also, we can probably help with vegetarian goodness. ---

**Airman Doors** of course you can come. I don’t have any Doors CDs (my classic rock leanings being limited to Queen and the Rolling Stones) but if you bring them, they will play. **that\_darn\_cat** , we could very much use the help, vegetarian-wise. One of our pals is a strict vegetarian (her phrase) and we strike out every dang time trying to come up with something for her. So please help us! You’re our only hope! ---
