Nope, folks. Both United and Amtrak require credit cards for online orders. My debit card will not work, and I can’t use my CC, since my parents can’t know I’m going to Ohio. (Don’t bother arguing with me or asking why. That’s just the way things are in this family.)

At any rate, looks like OhDope is out for me too. ☹

You’re lucky you threw that disclaimer in there. I have a reputation as an evil low life to uphold.

I mentioned this to her on the phone the other night, but I thought that I might want to post it here, too, just in case. I told **Medea’s Child** that, if **manhattan** is unable to bring her little butt to OhDope, I’ll drive over and get her. Either way, she’s coming to OhDope!

Ooooo-kay. We’re gonna need to round up another car to get all you folks from the airport to the hotel, or wherever you’re going Friday evening. It simply isn’t possible to get five people in my car, even if they have no luggage. We’ll figger something out though, don’t start worrying yet.

Airport pick-ups will not be a problem, I assure you. In fact, I might have to step-in and insist that I am allowed the pleasure of fetching the fine bevy of wimmin coming in from ChiTown…then again, having a Mod as an errand-boy is pretty sweet.

I’ll think about that and get back to y’all, but either way, you’ll have a ride in.

Well, I’ve promised **Sophie** that I would pick her up at the airport Saturday morning, and I still stand by that. I plan on getting there Friday night, **ts** , unless that presents a logistics problem…

Thanks, **TS**. I ‘spect it’ll likely take both of us to make the Friday evening run. That’s a _good_ thing, tho’. You and I will have the pleasure of watchin’ the ‘wimmin’ fight over us.

Thanks for picking up the slack, **Superdude**. You are, indeed, a super dude.

I’m not going to make the trip. My city needs me right now; more selfishly, I need my city. It’s going to be a while before I go anywhere.

**Medea’s Child** , I’ll get you that bike ride. How about a ChiDope in the spring, when the riding weather will be better anyway? You won’t have to bundle up so much, and you can get the full experience.

You can call on me as Mr. Taxi Man as well. My car will seat five.

Oh, **Manny** , I understand why you’re not coming, but that’s not preventing me from being _very_ disappointed.

Hey, don’t act so surprised!

I was getting my daily dose of MTV2 yesterday and caught a video by [Jamiroqui](http://www.jamiroquai.co.uk/flash.htm), that very funky white boy from the UK and the dancing bug bit me.

**Persephone** and I talked last night and both thought it might be just **tooooooo** cool if we could all go out to a dance club after the Clubhouse kicks us out at midnight.

**thinks** , would this be a possibility?!

I’d be a designated driver!

I’ll be full to the brim with cordial and dancing like a drunken white girl! Count me in!

(I tried to think of something scarier than me drunk and dancing, but words went and failed me again. Aren’t you looking forward to going out with me? 🙂 )

How many times do I have to tell you people? NO DANCING for the DynoSaur. Trust me, everyone’s better off that way.

Hell, I still need a costume. And money. 🙂
