Please do! And when you do, grab a Doper and get him/her to introduce you around real quick before you have to go. Most Dopefests aren’t this convenient to Harper’s Ferry, so you’ll _have_ to stop in. 🙂 ---

Theios has been to the place before, RT. I still see her every now and again on the road in that crazy Jeep of hers. ---

Well, as with last year, your party is the same day as ours, so I won’t be there again. Y’all have a swell time. ---

Cool, **dc**! **Hama** , can Mrs. Polycarp and I drop by en route back from the Chance event – we’ll be driving through Richmond going both ways? E-mail me your address if it’s OK, please! **Jonathan** , if you could essay directions coming at your place from the South, I’d be most grateful. When not going to DC proper or the immediate vicinity, we often use US 17 Fredericksburg-Winchester to bypass the heavy traffic, so bringing us north from Warrenton or the US-17/I-66 interchanges would be all we’d need. ---

I’d say it would be better to take 17 to 15 and taken Route 15 N to Leesburg. From there you can take the directions I’ve posted. How’s that sound? ---

You mean the Beast? The camo-painted, rustbucket, wonderful CJ-7 of mine? You’ve probably seen me in my other jeep too. I have one of the two bright yellow Cherokees that you see passing by from time to time. Mine is the one with the big CB antenna. ---

Gonna see if I can’t make history, sort of, and have three related dopers all from the same family at one dopefest. There have been _related_ dopers at one dopefest, but not three from the same family unless you retro-actively count **Zoltarb**. And I add in “related” because one hopes **Airman Doors** and **MsRobyn** aren’t related;). Oh, wait. Crap. At BabyDoorsZapfest it’ll be Dave, Aaron and \*\*Soccerbab(y?e? something), who are most definitely related. Bah! Humbug! ---

They look alike, for heaven’s sake! Robin ---

Well, **pd** can’t come, but I haven’t asked **alloran** yet, although he’s a bit big yet for his britches … he’d probably spend the whole night talking someone’s ear off about Heinlein and Tolkien and … Oh, wait, I forgot. This is a DOPEfest! People here eat that shit up like it’s chocolate! ---

– kids invited? I want to come but as my surgery date is now up in the air, and is now “hopefully in october” I am not sure if I’ll be able to come or not.
