By the way, I’ll be there wearing a bright yellow shirt that says “Shakespeare’s gotta get paid, son.”
Yeah… how are we exactly supposed to recognize one another, anyways? My husband got his ‘fro cut and I’m just a boring looking blond girl. Everyone look for **LOUNE’**s bright yellow shirt!
I’ll have a red periodic table shirt on. That’s right, I’m a huger dork than all y’alls. So there.
BTW, awesome shirt LOUNE.
Cya there!

I made it home. I’m not fed. There will be no crashing and dying in ditches by the side of the road.
At least not yet.
I just got home, too. It was nice to meet everyone (that I hadn’t met already), and I quite enjoyed myself. Thanks to Queen Tonya for being such a gracious host.
I’m home too! 
Thanks for indulging me with the board games, most of my friends are tired of hearing me beg. :o
Good job cmyk with the planning, I’m looking forward to our next one!
I just got home and had a blast. It was great to meet you all, and gracious of Queen Tonya for hosting the after-bar shindig. And, FWIW, the Lactaid is working fine. We’ll see about the ice cream hot sauce though.
I’ll load up some pics tomorrow…
Looking forward to January!
oh wow, I guess I already have an account here! I have no idea when I did that. When I post this message, I will know. But even if I didn’t have an account I would have made one anyway, because I had a blast this evening with you folks. This, however, means that I cannot register as “Bobby de Niro.” I am deeply sorry.
This is Rick. I was the guy who diffused our tense table situation with Flo, and then made her totally want me with my awesome flirting abilities (very romantic).
You dawg you. I’m sure you’ll make Flo a very happy person.
And crazy that you already had an account here. Perhaps you can persuade Flo to do the same. We need her contagious sunshiny outlook on this board.
.
Wait…does that mean we get to claim Rick as a “Doper we hooked via Dopefest” or not? 
Oh, and if you ask nicely, I bet one of our fabulous Mods will be happy to assist you with a name change. Then the rest of us can giggle at your incredibly dead-on Deniro impression every time you post. 
“I’m a famous actor. I’ve won many awards. I was in ‘Meet the Parents’.”
Apparently, that was the zenith of his acting career. Everything else before that? Foreplay until that moment.
The sequel? Sure fire Academy Award. Bastards can’t tell good acting from their own assholes.
Yay! My husband forbade me to actually post here last night, you know, considering how we spent the evening and it was 3ish when we got home… However, he had a GREAT time and does want everyone to know how much he appreciated it. He didn’t know what to expect at all, but he was talking the whole way home about how great everyone was.
rikc, good to see you here! You should totally put in a name change request to the mods. You really do belong here. ‘‘Come play with us…’’
…Er.
Oh, while we’re on the topic:
Man, I had so much fun last night I could barely even contain it. There was a point where I actually almost literally spewed Coke because I was laughing so hard. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed so much. Who knew I had so many neat-o people living near me?
Go forth, Dopers, in the knowledge of your awesomeness. And if you ever get lonely, know you’ve got a friend.
No amoeba impression?
Sorry I couldn’t make it. 
At any rate, rikc, name changes aren’t a big deal. Just email TUBADIVA@aol.com and maybe give her a couple of choices in case **Bobby de Niro ** is taken.
Damn. That totally slipped my mind!
Ok, ok… CYBER amoeba!
Aww, man. Are you SURE I shouldn’t change my user name?
Cyber Amoeba says SHOES **ON **in the house, bitches!!!
blush My, but I’m silly today.
I didn’t want to completely put you on the spot. There’s always next time at the Palace of Tonya.
Wait a minute…was cactus waltz there?
Sounds like a lot of fun.
He certainly was. Little do you know, he draws a very good vending machine with his eyes closed.
Sounds like you all had a wicked good time. How were the burgers?
The burgers were indeed yummy. Holy moly, when did Millers get so popular and crowded?! Granted, I’ve only ever lunched there when it was much less occupied, but it was crazy busy last night, hence the move to my place so we could get out of each other’s laps and actually chat.
I’m rather shamed that some people can doodle a better Spongebob blind than I can with a 8X10 color glossy and tracing paper. :o
Great meeting you cactus waltz, I hope we didn’t leave overwhelmingly ugly american impressions.
Whatever happened to the volvo candy?
