I think I have to be more drunk to dance than to have indiscriminant sex. 😉 ---

Hey, I’d be up for it. I dunno where **thinks** likes to go, but there’s a place called Shooters up near his place that’s pretty good for dancing. Or there’s like a gazillion clubs downtown, but going downtown’s a pain in the ass. Then again, I’m most certainly not driving 😉 so what the hell do I care? 🙂 Quix ---

I really, really wanna go dancing. Can we pleasepleasepleaseplease go? Please? 😃 I promise to a) dance with everyone, and b) not embarass any of you. I even know some ballroom, if there’s any males out there who like a good slow dance. 😃 ---

**Quix** , I guess I was thinking about the meat-marke…uh, dance clubs downtown (Banana Joe’s, Ludlows, BW’s, Howl at the Moon, Elevator…), but that’s only because I’ve not been able to go out and play up North yet. Local is good and I plan on not being in a state to make decisions by midnight. ---

Funny that Banana Ho’s was the first club that popped into my mind when I thought about drunken dancing… 🙂 I think the bottom line is, details to follow, but dancing can and will happen. Quixy ---

And money. 🙂 \*\* Then you can sit at a corner table with me and my hubby and laugh hysterically at the drunks who think they can dance. That’s what we plan on doing. We both learned a long time ago just how uncoordinated we both are when we are sober. I can only imagine the spectacle we would make of ourselves when drunk. ---

Hey, **Shadow** , you’ve never seen _ME_ cut a rug. Because I can’t. Ask **thinksnow**. He’s seen me karaoke more than once stone cold sober. I don’t need alcohol to make an ass out of myself. I get paid to do it, so I’m used to people laughing at me. ---

Dear god. _Dancing?_ Is there no limit to how low you folks will stoop? I’m appalled. And what about us Baptist? ---

Even though I know what both of you look like, I’m going to have no choice but to picture you as John Lithgow and Kevin Bacon from here on out. ---

…but the much-loved **BunnyGirl** may not be able to attend. She asked me in email today to take her place as Minister of Affairs. I would be happy to, if the esteemed Mr. **thinksnow** does not mind. Of course, this also leaves me rideless. **Shadowfox,** if you’re still going, think maybe you could help me out, here? Or any other Michigan Doper that may be going along? I would be MOST appreciative. ---

Indeed, I had received word that the dear **Bunny** and hubby (BunnyBoy?) will not be able to attend. ☹ \ The mantle of power, the position of _ **MoA** _ is actually non-transferable, so **Pers** , you are hearby promoted to the rank of _ **Director of Situations** _. With the unfortunate loss of my _ **MoA** _ comes an opening in the available rooming. If you’ll recall, I’ve retained an apartment for the use of whomever wishes to stay on-site and **Bunny** (and hubby, IIRC) had reserved a room/bed. Just letting y’all know. ---

Um. Dancing? Like in front of people? Strainger, you can sit with me in the “Hell no I am not going out on that dance floor” table.
