I’ll just make sure to get two beds if you want. ---

I guess that means that there will be a square of carpet for me somewhere. Thanks all! ---

I was thinking about coming out on Friday. Any thoughts on the hotel? And what kind of…_ahem_…points do I get if I bring the host a bottle of Stroh? And is 60 acceptable if I can’t get 80? ---

I’ve been away for a couple of weeks, so I didn’t see this thread. And, since its just across town, I suppose I should probably show up, so you can add me to your list, BunnyGirl. Also, for travellers, I’ve got an extra bedroom that as yet is unclaimed. It being three months away, I may even have time to whip up a couple of cases of OhDope Homebrew. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. ---

I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go! I’m gonna start panhandling and hunting for pennies in the couch cushions. Won’t you donate to the saph fund? This is a worthy cause that will bring hours of enjoyment to the citizens of Ohio. ---

**Bunny,** don’t put me on the “definites” list yet. You see, a) I still haven’t cleared this with Mr. Persephone, and b) I’m still so broke I can’t buy my d\*\*\* a donut. I’ll keep you posted. 😃 ---

Okay, I am booked for a flight arriving in Columbus at 4:05 pm on Saturday. I leave Sunday at 11 am. Good times. Bunny: I will be carrying a crossbow (provided the ex-SO approves the prop loan). That’s all I’m saying. Oh, also: leather pants. I will also need a square of carpet on which to crash. Don’t you just _love_ college kids? 🙂 ---

Most of my funds will most likely be used for plane tickets. Whatever’s left will go for food, and after that, I don’t think I’m going to have enough for a room. Is there any space for another dirt-poor college student on a floor? ---

You crazy college kids! I’m sure something will filter out, worry not about floor-space. There will be grub for you moochers…uh, students. ---

And my mom asks me what I do on my board. Of course I have problems telling her I invite my self to parties where I can dress up in a costume she thinks is “lewd” and drink. i tell her I learn things. Its much more wholesome than college. Honest. ---

Don’t you just _love_ college kids? 🙂 \*\* Sunday at 11:00 a.m. Shoot, I know I don’t plan on being up at that ungodly hour. 😃 **CROSSBOW!**. : **Bunny** steps carefully away from **Juniper** , trying to remember if she ever did anything to tick her off: How are you going to get the airline to let you take that thing on-board? **Pers** , don’t worry about money. I’ll cover gas and the ride down and I’m guessing that there will be enough people sleeping on the floor of that extra apartment that it probably won’t cost much more than $10 or so! (maybe?) And re: food. Shoot, who’s going to be _eating_? I thought this was strictly a beverage party? 😛 ---

Well, it’s a _plastic_crossbow. I’m not sure if I can hijack a plane with soft foam darts, but I guess it’s worth a try. Food is good. It will keep us from passing out too early and/or dying. The next latest flight on Sunday that I could get for super-cheap left at 5:00 pm, which would have gotten me back to Columbia at about 11pm. Doable, but I didn’t want to take advantage of think’s hospitality or anything by staying around all Sunday. ---

After impossing on **slackergirl** until almost 11pm on the Sunday after SLO-Dope, I would certainly be willing to pay it forward to anyone that needs to make “later-in-the-day” arrangements. I guess it might be nice, though, if y’all could coordinate, you know, come and go on the same plane or at least around the same time, but no worries, really. ---
