That’s right, I saw a great idea and I stole it!
I’ve been thwarted at every attempt at having an Ohio Dopefest (hereby known as: OhDope) as other more crafty and well connected Dopers planned their gatherings for weekends I was looking at.
No more, I say! Halloween in on a Wednesday this year, so I’m declaring Saturday, October 27[sup]th[/sup] to be the
Official Halloween, Everyone-In-Costumes, OhDope.
Details to follow, but count on it being in Columbus and sometime in the Fall.
God, you’re great!
:chants:
Toga! Toga! Toga!
Okay, so what will it be? The Catholic School Girl? The goddess Diana (not the poster! 
) I’m open for ideas here, people. I don’t think my husband would approve of my Dungeon Mistress idea so that’s right out. No hip boots for me. 
BTW, female Dopers, I’ve got a small pair of cammies if anyone is obsessed with the idea of going as a Marine/Army-type. No boots, however.
Sounds fun!
Well, here’s an idea:
Everyone shows up naked* and we dress each other as we see fit.
How’zat sound?
[sub]*: Naked except for a name-tag.[/sub]
And then, after that crazy shindig, you can all swing up to Pittsburgh, for a stylish PITTDOPE!
Please? I’m lonely…
It’s a short drive, Jester, straight across I-70. Ya’ gotta make it out here!
I’d be game for it.
Thinksnow, it would work, except I am 16.
Okay, small change:
No naked minors.
Carry on.
Hmmmmm… this idea sounds most promising.
Perhaps I will have to revive my Sister Mary Sleezy costume.
And think, if I get to use your hottub, I’ll revive my “just a towel” costume. 
I am SO totally there! thinksnow…email me with details as the become available.
Hm. Well, as a minor myself, I may have some trouble convincing my parents to let me drive to Ohio, but Lord knows I’ll try. (I’ll refrain from using the term “DopeFest.” Just don’t think they’d respond well to that…)
Anyway, might as well keep me posted with any developments.
Hottub! Awwwriiiiiight!!!
The Ohio State University is located in Columbus and it would be a smashing opportunity for a forward thinking teen to check out future locations of higher education.
To the wimmins:
It’s a “garden tub,” not a hottub. It’s an oversized tub so it can only hold the first four or five of us that arrive, but the waiting area is my bedroom, so… Remember: First served, first come.
Oh, holy fright. And you complained about your neighbor making noise!
Back to the OP [sub]reluctantly[/sub]…
Let me know what ya want me to bring! Happy to help however. This might be a good time for me to introduce the rest of the Doper world to Grape Cordial. Of course, the Black Cherry Cordial will be ready by Halloween DopeFest too, ya know!
Is it open to us “newbies” to or is there a 1,000 posts or more minimum? 
Me and the youngun will be there!
think, did you get this idea before or after I emailed you this afternoon?
I can’t make any promises, but I certainly will try to get there. Perhaps, if Bunny’s going to go, we could carpool? Maybe share a room? I try not to go anywhere without adult supervision.
Geez, think, one might think you were getting tired of driving to all the other 'fests or something…
Not that I’d blame you, of course.
I wonder if being that close to OSU would actually cause illness…
Ok. If she’s there, somebody has to promise to grope Persephone for me while saying “This is from Arden”.
Riiiiiiiight, Arden. I’m sure they’ll be lining up in droves for that chance. :rolleyes:
OOH! OOH! PICK ME! PICK ME!
What? I gotta wait in liiiiiiiine? Awwwww, man…
