Well I’m just going to have to beat him to it, ain’t I?
gobear came as some sort of dead thing (facepaint and such) and his boyfriend Matt came as a cow. Complete with four-pronged (so to speak) udder (which earned jokes from me, at least, at the thought of a quadriphallic human) and a little head thingy.
All during the dopefest (well, the first five or so hours) moi had been trying her ass off figuring out who was “a dope” (as one of JC’s friends put it) and who was not. And I and a few others helped her out with this:
moi: “So the dead guy was a doper.” various other dopers: “Yes.” moi: “But the cow is not a doper.” various other dopers: “No.”
::we sense a song coming on here:: moi, punha and cat (and I think Zappo as well) start out in song:
"The cow is not a doper.
::other dopers slowly join in::
"The Cow is not a doper!
::nearly entire room is singing by this point::
"HI-ho the derry (or merry, depending on which version you sang)-o!
First off, mad props to the Chances for a Fantabulous evening. And no, JC you didn’t scare me at 5 a.m. You might have, if more than 2 brain cells were awake, but they had a quick conference and decided it was OK. I too am sad we didn’t get to say goodbye, but I look forward to the next time.
Zappo, was great meeting (and singing with) you. Stop by our neck of the woods anytime.
Nacho4Sara Somehow I missed getting to talk to you much, I promise to bend your ear next time.
Weirddave Thanks for introducing yourself when we first arrived, you made us feel welcome and set us up for a great night.
Airman Doors I’m the only one who beleives you, but you did get the last peg in Perfection before it blew up. Of course, John Corrado did it with more style.
RTFirefly It was worth every minute of the drive. Thanks for being so darn cheerful.
Thanks to JC, iampunha and bouv for burning the midnight oil with us and helping us make the the most out of our first Dopefest. 'punha you rock too.
And thanks to JC for having the two best behaved and great dogs I’ve met in a long time. I see a greyhound or two in my future.
And Gobear it was great to meet you and Matt. (the cow who was not a Doper. :))
And everybody else, thanks for making our first Dopefest so great. Also, who ever brought the pumpkin ale, that stuff is great!
sigh I unfortunately was unable to make it to the party, due to a need to study, and a car that is making two funny noises in one wheel-well. After reading everyone’s posts I am definitely sorry I missed it. Any other Dope-fests coming up in this area anytime soon?
Once again, I miss all the fun. There will be other chances, dammit!
Good news: FIL is not slipping as fast as predicted, and my sister, hedra, is so close to delivery that she can taste it. Strange how these two definitive life events are, in such close proximity.
Oh, and AD, if you’d added veggies other than inoins to your steak it would have blown Dave’s out of the water. As it was, I had to say it was a tie. Your was cheesier, but his had mushrooms.
