There’re a bunch of people who will be there whom I’d love to meet, but Tark and I are having our 10th annual Hallowe’en party the same evening. Damn your eyes. Maybe next year. ---

Jeez, **Hamadryad** , second party in a row you’ve missed. What’s it gonna take to tempt you to the north? ---

Sorry, **Jonathan** , there has been an official request for a “Just The Two of Us” anniversary this year. We’re gonna have to pull out of the party plans. I’ll make the pitch for the next June party when you start making plans for it - one of these days we’ll get our butts out there! ---

Damn your eyes. Maybe next year. Durn… **Hama** , I thought you were planning to offset your party by a night! You’ve _gotta_ host a Dopefest sometime - after all, you know what **Rosebud** said: > [@](#): > > the rules clearly state everyone has to make out with he (or she) who organizes a Dopefest. And I think all would agree that that has maximum impact if the host (or preferably host **ess** , in my book) is bi. 😃 ---

Face it, we’re the straw that stirs the drink! \*\* You’re a straw alright. Washington is the straw that winds up discarded while the real thing gets cherished. Straws? Pffft! Meaningless. Drinks?

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jonathan Chance \* > **moi** , I dare you to get cat in the fairy ensemble. I dare you. And you’re more than welcome to camp here if you’d like. _bouncebouncebounce_ A kind offer and a dare. You’re a rascal. 😉 On the other hand, if there’s going to be a Tinkerbelle already…do you think cat will have a moment of girlaliciousness, refusing to budge from the car because someone’s wearing the same getup as him…? \*moi begins to wonder if cat is reading this thread and how he will feel about being mentioned in the same sentence as “girlaliciousness”…ah, just to be safe…\ ***D&R!** ---

So here we go 'round the mulberry bush again! **moi** , given that Kate’s Tink costume will be designed for an 18-month old I don’t think cat will have a lot of competition. **Neidhart** , c’mon, you’re a Chance estate _veteran_! You have to come! Worse come to worse will drop you in a domino mask and see what happens. **Gadarene** , what’s more important? Your future or getting skunked with Dopers in the Blue Ridge? Really, think through your priorities here. The count stands 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 MsRobyn moi and cat Neidhart Gadarene \*\* Let’s not always see the same hands here! ---

While we’re _still_ unsure what to wear (Mrs. Montfort shot down the “I wear your wedding dress, you wear my suit” idea), we **will** have the wedding video (all 10 minutes of it) with us at the party. And, **moi** , I’d love to get you a drink there. 🙂 ---

That’s more like it. Can’t say I blame you for not amending it any faster - you were probably still caught up in the afterglow. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-a-ween-dc-md-va-pa-de-10-27-01/76061.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-a-ween-dc-md-va-pa-de-10-27-01/76061.md?page=7)
