Okay, we’re having problems getting the " " " gals " " " together for a [Doper Wimmin’s Lunch](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=208743) – we live in a post-feminist world, I guess. Fine. Whatever. I am bound and determined to go to Baltimore to visit the [American Visionary Art Museum](http://www.avam.org/), though – I’ve been vaguely wanting to go for years, and now it’s turned into a crusade. **FairyChatMom** and I are going to go on Sunday, September 21st. If any MADS or madmen or madwomen of whatever sort would like to join us – you’d be welcome. If not, well – nyah nyah nyah, we’ll have our own fun (and mock you guys unmercifully, no doubt). C’mon folks! Let’s get visionary! ---

See, **FCM** , I told you it was me. ---

Hmmm, now I don’t know if _I_ want to be seen with you… 😛 Tell ya what, I’ll go to the museum the same time you do, but you have to promise that you won’t try to talk to me or anything. I have my reputation to consider, you know. 😃 ---

Just being in the same building at the same time will be honor enough for me. ---

Doin’ da Bump! Note: This trip is open to all genders, creeds (Doper and non-), and levels of interest and expertise in folk art. As **FairyChatMom** discovered, if’n we can get 10 people together, we’ll get a break on admission… [see?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=208743&highlight=visionary) What could possibly be cooler? ---

Hmm, so far you two seem to be the only particpants. Assuming the weather is remotely tolerable for driving, I’ll go, and possibly bring my buddy Chris if he’s interested. ---

**Anita Vacation** has indicated her interest, and I’ll be dragging my husband along. I received a couple more tentative maybes in the other thread. But we’d certainly welcome you, **AvhHines**! ---

I’m thinking of bringing a date (_ **blush** _). Those of you who helped explain how to embed subliminal mind-control messages in my personal ad – thanks! ---

You know, everyone laughed when I said the doomedness of this expedition was directed at me – and to that I say “Ha!” We’re moving this puppy to October 12th, for reasons mentioned [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3976738#post3976738). I will come up with a way to disguise my identity before I either reinstate this thread or come up with a new one.
