**JC** , just got your email with address, etc. So, in regards to above post: nevermind. Thanks ---

Perfect timing on the directions – I’ve just picked up a map from AAA and worked out the route. **Guinastasia** ’s going to be travelling with me and (I hope) serving as navigator. We should arrive shortly after 2:00. Just one last question: is there a Super 8/Motel 6/other cheap type of hotel somewhere handy? Among other things, I’d rather not drive over 200 miles in costume.

Wuss. There are a few B&B’s in Hillsboro and Environs. But the nearest hotel is about 15-20 miles away down in Leesburg. You can change here, if you’d like. ---

Is it okay if I bring cupcakes? I’ve got this cute halloween cake batter stuff that I need to make and since I don’t want to eat it all by myself I figured I’d share with dopers. They’ll even be Weight Watchers safe for dopers who are watching their waists! Can I bring 'em?Huh?Huh?Can I?Can I?Please?Pretty please? ---

Um, JC, I didn’t get the E-vite. Is the E-mail system going all weird today or something? Could you try it again, or maybe just send me directions by an E-mail message? ---

I live to serve, Wendell. Fizzes, if tolerating 'pun is the price for cupcakes I’ll take one for the team and eat the all up! ---

I’m sorry for bothering people about this, but none of JC’s messages are getting through to me. There’s apparently something going weird going on about my E-mail. Could a couple people try E-mailing me with the instructions for driving to the Chance place? Before I notify my ISP that some E-mail messages aren’t getting through to me, I want to figure out how general the problem is. ---

I got the directions email, thanks, **JC**. Can we crash at your place, after the party? If not, there’s some people I can stay with, about an hour away. Special message for **Airman Doors** : I promised you a drink, back before your deployment. Now that you’re back, what would you like me to bring you? ---

moi & tdc update So, that sorry boy kinda shrugged me off when I suggested going to Dope-a-ween this year. (To be fair, he had a s’okay excuse; we’re throwing a birthday party for a friend back in Baltimore on Sunday.) Yet, LO and behold! when I showed up in Baltimore this Friday, he had an idea for a costume, and we’re coming. Does the universe revolve around this boy or _what_? I’ve got a plethora of costumes to choose from this year, but will probably avoid my gypsy one, since I think **Opal** ’s got that covered? Anyway, add us to the numbers! 😃 ---

Good lord, I killed the thread. You guys aren’t moving the party are ya? It wasn’t that flesh-eating disease comment from a few pages back, was it? I’m cured, I tell ya!! _whimpers_ ---
