Count me in for $10 for the N4S Fund as well. And I’m on Page 7. Nyah, Spritle. ---

You guys are wonderful. Seriously, though, the only thing I don’t have is gas money. If I get a ride, I’ll be fine and dandy. (BUT my costume has mysteriously changed. I had some issues with my Madonna gear.) I’m going to get in touch with Aguecheek and see what’s going on. 🙂 Hope to see you guys there! PS If anyone really wants to give me money, they are surely welcome to! ---

_bouncing_ Just readin’ this thread is gettin’ me excited…I mean, well, y’know, the anticipation and all, my first DopeFest. Ah, hell. Put those dirty minds away! _moi gathers herself_ I’m just waiting for word from **cat** about his Sunday work schedule (he just got a new job, yay!) and the we can absolutely confirm, hoorah. Otherwise, I’ll be one sad girldressedupasawoodlandnymphwithnowheretogo…and, really, who wants that? [sub]Yes, I’ve had some caffeine today. Why do you ask?[/sub] _bouncebounce_ ---

Aguecheek, I called and left a message and sent you two e-mails. My phone number is included (but I may have left it off the phone message, oops!) and I know I gave my address both on the message and in the e-mail. I’ll be home until 10:00 tonight, so I will try to call back if I don’t hear from you. Also, my mom has been prepped and she can take the message if I’m not home. Basically, if you can find my house (I’m right off 95 and 695) and everything is cool, we just need to decide on a time. Yay! You rock! Sarah 🙂 ---

Well, I’m happy that as of 12:00 PM, I finally decided upon a costume. Hopefully I can get to a Goodwill or Salvation Army store in time to finish it off, otherwise I have to go with a REALLY cheap-ass back-up costume. I am NOT looking forward to my 10 hour bus ride, though. At least it’s not a straight 10 hours on one bus, seeing as I change busses twice, and have some time inbetween to strech my legs (Now I have to figure out how to spend an ohur and a half in NYC.) That will make it better, and, it gives me a chance to catch up on my reading. Well, see you all there! ---

'Cuz I dunno how many more page 7s there are on this board (though I suspect if I started a flirting thread I might get to page 7 in a few hours on a really good night)😃 ---

Everybody excited? 18 hours to the party! 18 hours to the party! We picked up our first attendees this evening at the bus stop and they’ll be staying with us tonight. Of course that means they’ll be forced to work all tomorrow morning getting the house ready. Any last minute requests for candy and such should be made now. I leave for the store first thing in the morning! ---

I’m definitely in!!! YAY! Aguecheek called me and he’ll be picking me up around 11:00 tomorrow. JC, PLEASE buy some Tootsie pops. They’re my favorite. And I will be sleeping somewhere on your floor.

Well, I finally have my costume. It’s VERY ghetto, though. (When I say ghetto, I mean it is a pathetic attempt at what it is supossed to be.) Hey, what do you expect from a poor college student with no sewing skills whatsoever? ---

Well, I just found out that I am allergic to part of my costume (the wool blanket part.) Which is odd, because I used to sleep with this blanket and it never affected me before. Damn. Well, now I have to either make a new costume, or have an even more ghetto version of my previous one. As for calling, the only place i could call from is DC, so I will call from there. (I am scheduled to leave DC at 1:50 PM and arrive in Leesburg at 3:30 PM. So that’s an hour and forty minutes.) ---

It’s 2:30, I just got back from Texas, so I missed the last 2 days postings. N4S, I go _right by_ your house, literally within a mile, I’d be happy to give you a lift if it’s out of the way for whoever agreed to do so. Too tired to go back and check who that was. E-mail headed your way with my #s, call me in the morning. See y’all tomorrow. ---
