Yes, MADs, BADs and all other fine persons of the Dope variety…

Everyone’s favorite mountain MAD is once again opening his doors to the splendiferous Chance estate to host the annual Halloween Costume Party!

As always there will be music, food, games and other fun entertainment.

No foolin’…he said that!

So bring it on home! I know we missed Mountain Dope this year (circumstances intervening) but we decide that nothing, and the ROCK means **NOTHING** , can keep us from seeing everyone for Halloween.

So what’s everyone going to wear?

Huh? Huh?

Oh.

Heh heh.

You’ll probably want to know when it’s going to be, won’t you?

Heh…

**Saturday, October 26, 2002…2PM**

Look! Over there!

Run run run

Crash!

Vroom!

“I…don’t think he’s coming back.”

Oh God, thanks **RT** , I needed a laugh like that! (from your reaction, don’t worry:))

I think I might be able to make it into my hectic schedule of sleping and eating to get there:)

[sub]Right now he’s just a mild-mannered doper…[/sub]

Help!

With apologies to all our fine mods…

Here’s a bump for the morning crew to see. I’d hate to have someone miss it.

😃 Well, you just warm up that lap, mister. My feet will need frequent rests in those spike heels!

And, in response to the OP…awwww yeah! The **Bluesclan** is so totally there.

Now, let’s get this right: _you_’ll warm up _my_ lap when I give your feet a rest!

I mean, I can’t exactly warm up my _own_ lap, can I? 😉  
[sub]Yeah, I know that’s a straight line. But ya _know_ what I mean, so keep it clean!

And that means _you_, **iampunha**![/sub]

We shall be in attendance, not as Jesus and Mary Magdalen though. I’ll have to come up with something, since Dave’s brain doesn’t seem to work.

Oh, and as with last year, I’ll wildly hint at what/who I plan to wear/be, but y’all will have to wait until you see me to find out fer sher.

Anyone who knows their comic books or movies or television shows (there’s clue #2!) well at _all_ already knows who I’ll be going as:)

I’m definitely in seeing as how I had to miss the last one and I didn’t get to meet Mr. Chance at the Rush concert (sorry Jonny, couldn’t afford it).

As for my costume I really haven’t been much of a costume wearer in years. Is it alright if I’m boring and come as myself?

It wouldn’t be a JC Dopefest if I didn’t make a promise to try to be there… Who knows, Maybe I’ll screw up and actually arrive…?!

Count all three **Doorses** in. Aaron already has his costume coming from England. I dunno what Dave’s going as, and I promise I’ll come in one of my non-costume costumes. 😉

Looks like I’ll be working that weekend. Do you think it would be okay if I pop in on my way to work that evening so I can put some faces to some names? Maybe steal a circus peanut or three?
