Well, that’s why you need to get to the NYC 'fest. Sure to be plenty of groping there, my man.
Um, Geobabe, I’m all for the gung-ho groping, but I really dunno about this whole “stand up” bit . . . I sure as Hell ain’t gonna wanna lay flat on my back after seeing N4S in that French Maid outfit, or you in whateverhotthing you’ll be wearing, or . . . ah, do I really need to go on? I have to stand up in a minute.
So if I were to catch a ride with TP and lurker, what would my costume be? I own nothing costumey. 
Will there be a sad dark little corner with other non-costumed folks?
Maybe you can fit in my “yes, I have breasts” dress? (since I can’t any more) It’s been far too long since the thing was worn, it’s about time it was again!
Color me intrigued, TP 
PS - enjoy your day of rest…
Well, first off, you’re going to get a lot more groping done from a standing position–better reach and all that, you know. But then you say you aren’t going to want to lay down. You do realize, don’t you, that it makes it easier if you’re laying down to…ah, never mind.
The poor boy’s confused, that’s all.
Christ on a crutch! I go away for a day or so and this thread goes fucking bonkers!

MsRobyn, tell us what we need to do. We’ll help. All of us. Right gang?
TruePisces, did I mention that my birthday is February 25? Make of that what you will.
lurkernomore, don’t knock my kissing. I am the man. I may be married but I’ve long had a disinterest from Mrs Chance in preventing me from smooching with guys at our parties. She’s not one to tug on Superman’s cape, after all.
Nacho4Sara, I can’t tell you how delighted I’d be to have you at our party. Hotel information has been posted but I’ll repeat it in the next post. Bear in mind that no one has ever left one of our parties needing to eat for several days. So food shouldn’t be an issue. You may feel free to bring a sleeping bag or tent or whatnot. Our couches and spare room are spoken for but you can crash anywhere you want.
Um. Just bear in mind I tend to be naked when I let the dogs out at 5 each morning. Be warned.
Crunchy Frog: speaking as a man born in Chicago, it is true that St Louis Dopefests suck. Just as it’s true that all things St Louisian suck. How many times do we having to tell you Missourians this?
Pucette, costumes are required at our parties but we always have some domino masks for the costumically challenged. There’s always something that can be made to work.
and when did the subject of groping come up so strongly? I think my party thread really has gotten out of control!
OK, here’s the hotel info again. We’re a little thin on the ground out here. There might be some others but I couldn’t find them in the Hotel/Motel index book.
Days Inn Leesburg 703-777-6622 (About 15 miles from the house)
Catoctin House B&B 800-851-3305 (About 2 miles from the house)
Catoctin House is set right in the tiny lovely town of Hillsboro. And that’s heaven.
Remember John Denver’s ‘Country Roads’?
“Almost heaven…West Virginia…Blue Ridge Mountain…Shenandoah River…”
Well, that posits that West Virginia is almost heaven. Ergo, where we live, right next to West Virginia is heaven.
Get it?

How 'bout them apples?
This just in: I’ll be attending as a Madonna-esque/80’s punk rock girl. Madonna’s my idol and all, but I’m going to spice it up a little.
Unless I get really drunk, there will be no groping on my part. I’m, ahem, not that kind of girl, alright!
JC, any chance you can e-mail me some directions?
And would it be okay if my hopefully-soon-to-be SO tags along, too? He’s a lot of fun, I promise!
I’m really looking forward to this! Yay!

[QUOTElurker, looks like you may have competition in that French Maid’s outfit!

I couldn’t possibly compete with Sara - even if I could find one that fits…
The silly answer: For some reason, I always seem to get groped at these things, and I think it’s high time I shared the wealth.
The serious answer: I think in light of recent events, a lot of us need some relief from being serious. I know I’ve been flirting a lot more than usual lately, and it’s really because I need to take my mind off of other things that, if I dwell on them, get me all depressed.
Exactimundo. We’re talking the difference between a coupla guys groping a coupla gals, and more widespread, indiscriminate groping, a la “I’m sure if you come, you’ll get groped too. This will be one of those Dopefests, I can say with absolute assurance.”
pun: at least you’re drawing the line in the same place Cecil did!
Add me as a maybe. I’ll get a ponytail and come and Iampunha.
Make that come AS Iampunha.
OK, just keep the groping down in front of the kids! And no one grope Lady Chance without explicit permission!
I mean it!
and Nacho4Sara, there was nothing I wanted in high school any more than a Madonna wanna-be girlfriend. You have been warned!

Hey! We’re up to 31!
Who’s next?
Welp, that was true then, but thanks to the magic of something called a “calendar”, the odds have just skyrocketed. So, barring a major catastrophe, I should be able to make it.
Robin
It’ll take more than a ponytail . . . first you have to post about 5600 times. And you’ll have to get smaller.
Boy, that’s not something I’d be bragging on, pun.
Yes, it’s true.
Lady Chance has finished the web invitation.
Take a look, directions et al are there.

Be there!
Okay. I know who I’m going to go as. Really, I do.
I just don’t think y’all will get it unless I bring a picture.
See, I ain’t cuttin’ my hair for this (it would just RUIN dcnewsman’s attempt to look like me . . . ). And I kinda can’t lose the arms or chest. And I don’t have chickenlegs.
The picture I have of the guy I’m going as . . . I can do the clothing. I can . . . ah. I see the light.
All will be made clear on the 27th of October.
