Please e-mail me with directions (remember I’m a male), I’ll make sure Nancy directs me in the right direction, and I should be able to make it down there on Friday!!!

Directions will come out shortly before the event, to make sure y’all don’t go and lose them between now and then like I always do. 🙂

I’m probably not going to be leaving Louisville until about 6-7pm Friday night. **ts** , I’m presuming that you’ll already be in Columbus by then. Am I correct?

Yup, I’ll be returning from my whirlwind LA-SF-Reno trip Tursday night and will be heading north Friday, noon-ish.

Yeah, I know. Just making sure I got on the list, too. Dork.

I should report that my attendance now seems… unlikely. I suppose there’s still a slim chance, but you probably should take me off the list. I’ll let you know if things change.

I think y’all are going to have to move me back to the ‘maybe’ list as well. I’m not sure how financial matters will work out for me in the near future anymore.

Of course, if I **do** go, at least I won’t have to worry about getting back in time for work on Monday anymore…

Well, I still plan on attending. I managed to talk my mother into babysitting my kids overnight (something she hasn’t done in at least a couple of years) and dammit, I’m going out! I’m still debating about my costume though. I want to come to the party as something completely original, but I don’t have the imagination to pull it off. I really need to consult with my sister on this one. She always has the best Halloween costumes and they are always cheap!

No **mrblue?**

But…but…the last three Doper gatherings I’ve attended have had mrblue there! You _have_ to go! We can’t have a Dopefest without at least _one_ guy who thinks nothing but pure, clean, happy, fuzzy-bunny thoughts! Who are we supposed to taunt mercilessly?

Sheesh!

You are, of course, right as always, **UncaBeer**.

And, **tiggy** , dear, I’m afraid you’ll have to take it up with my boss. Or, my soon-to-be ex-boss, rather.

Really, though, I don’t see why it would keep me from going. Just, don’t be surprised if it does.

I’m still planning on being there. The Victoria’s Secret portion of the Sister Mary Sleazy costume was delivered this week.

My costume is coming together. All major elements have been delivered and fit well. So very well.

Does anyone know if there would be a problem with my flying with toy weapons in checked luggage. I figured that taking it in my carryon would be out of the question so I’d just check my bag, but I’m not so sure now that the saftey regulations are so tight. I know this sounds like a dumb concern, but I’d rather not have to leave it at the airport or be arrested or something.
