Then chocolate there shall be. Some type that’s really good. Maybe from Europe. A little help here from the Euro-Dopers would be appreciated! ---

JC, I can’t speak for the other dopers here (especially since one is drunk and sleeping on the floor near me), but candy in general is good:) ---

Punha is coming as Cecil? No promises, but could you post the nearest hotels? I am typing this with one hand, as TP has a hammerlock on me. I told her I have to work and my car is old and feeble, like me, and may not make a 6? hour drive, but I was asked to inquire. ---

Ooo…silly me! Of course I couldn’t forget you! I hang my head. Must be those alligators. And for **lurkernomore** the closest hotel (other than some B&Bs which look nice) is the Days Inn in Leesburg. I’ll try to get their phone number and send it your way! ---

Ooohh, I think I can make this one! Now the only question is which costume to wear… I have a charming and G-rated Bride of Frankenstine get-up. OR, I have the ever-so-slightly PG-rated Rachel-Welsh-Cavewoman costume. Also, I request something black-licorice related for the goodie bags – Good-n-Plenty would work, or just plain black jellybeans. Yum. And, finally, should I bring my traditional Halloween Party Treat – a kitty litter cake? ---

Given the fact that I have no friggin’ idea what’s going on with me, I’ll say this: I’d love to come, if it is at all possible. Naturally, having said that, the phone will ring any minute telling me to get on the friggin’ plane at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. I could only hope… I’ll let you know as soon as I know. ---

**Tranquilis** , my parties ARE wild. That’s why I keep the bat and sword at the ready! Plus, out here on the Appalachian Trail it’s so…_easy_ to get rid of the evidence. Hey! It’s a Halloween Party! I can be creepy if I want! **Jess** , if I PROMISE to supply licorice would that tilt the balance over to the Raquel Welch look? I’m down with that! **Airman Doors** , you’ll always be welcome here. Heck, I need the money! Heh heh heh. **True Pisces** , you keep working on him! Tell him I’ve give him one of **Airman Doors** five dollar bills if he shows up in the maids outfit! How’s _that_ for temptation? \*\* Montfort Anniz\* iampunha Lucretia, Bluesman and the most polite, well-behaved children the world has ever known Weirddave Tranquilis\* RTFirefly (who should just paint a mustache on and talk fast) Zappo\* Geobabe Tabeitha MannyL SNenc (if we can make the sale…) lurkernomore TP Gobear and BF Jess Airman Doors (if the USAF keeps up its triflin’ ways) \*\* So we’re looking at a total of 22 Dopers and affiliates for the party so far! Not half bad! Think we can hit 25? ---

Well, I’m definitely gonna go with something low-cut. I need to see if I can collect more money in my bra this time than I did at ChiDope. I only got $3.10–the change was two nickels courtesy of **thinksnow** , that rascal. Which reminds me: NO LOOSE CHANGE IN THE BRA! Bills only, preferably high denomination. Thanks. ---

Well, shoot, **Geobabe**! What the heck kind of Dopefests do you go to where they put money in your bra? I’m offended to report that _no-one_ at a Dopefest has ever put _anything_ in _my_ bra at all.
