This is why I love bein’ a girl. Men will sometimes give you money for doing nothing at all. They’re so cute. ---

Hey, at the NYC Dopefest in Jan the girls danced on the bar and I put money in a bra. I _think_ it was Swiddles? ---

Now I think it would be most amusing if all the women were to wear very low-cut costumes, just to watch the men spin in circles until they become dizzy. ---

**Bluesman** – I thought you were supposed to wear a _costume_? 😉 BTW, 10/27 will be the saturday before my 41st birthday – the best thing about being born Oct 30th is that cool Halloween parties always fall around my birthday. Jess ---

This astonishingly good party happens in the Blue Ridge Mountains south of Harpers Ferry, WV? Got a map? Good. Open it to Northern Virginia. Follow Route 7 through Leesburg. Where Route 9 meets it follow Route 9 up to Route 671. That’s where we are. So we’re now at: \*\* 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) plnnr \*\* Throw in all my goofy non-Dope pals and bang! That’s beginning to sound like a party to me! ---

Ok, kids… Just priced plane tix on [orbitz.com](http://orbitz.com). The good news is, I can fly from Intercontinental (Sorry, I refuse to call it Bush) to BWI for $186 round trip. The bad news is, it’s on Continental, which may or may not be in operation in late October. The Southwest site is down, but I will check them out as soon as possible as a possible backup plan. **Airman Doors** has kindly offered to pick me up at the airport and floor space, assuming the Air Force doesn’t offer him bunk space at Lackland AFB first. Otherwise, I will need floor space and a ride to and from the airport. This is contingent on finances, of course, so I can’t really give a definite answer. I am putting the odds at 80-85% at my being able to attend. Now, what to wear as a costume? Robin ---

Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine \*\* Interesting ideas. I will refute them one at a time. 1. That’ll work, but I don’t bend that way. 2. I’m not thin enough, and besides, I don’t want people walking into me when the party gets really good 3. I look nothing like Rene Auberjonois. I’ll think of something. Robin ---

I’m not too far from both **AD** and BWI so I’d be glad to pinch-hit. I also plan on getting a room at one of the hostelries near Maison Chance, so I’d be glad to make it a double and/or offer some floor space, bathtub occupancy, etc. Zappo [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-a-ween-dc-md-va-pa-de-10-27-01/76061.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-a-ween-dc-md-va-pa-de-10-27-01/76061.md?page=5)
