UncleBeer, thanks for taking the initiative and declaring the Courtyard by Marriot the official House of Ill Repute for OhDope - I’ll book a room there as well. I haven’t booked my flight yet, but I plan on flying out Friday night and leaving Sunday mid/late afternoon.
H’okay. If ya lemme know your flight info, I’ll come getcha.
Woohooo! Thanks UncleBeer. And I forgot to mention - Margaritas goooooooood.
Bunny!
email has been sent, move me on over to the definitely column! 
now i need a good costume…any suggestions?
Lady Godiva is still available.
Will there be shuttle service from UncleBeer’s Den of Iniquity (oops…I mean study) to thinksnow’s Orgy O’ Fun? Or are they close enough to each other that we can just stagger back & forth?
Remember, the party at the club-house starts around 5:30 and they shouldn’t kick us out until midnight-midnight and a half and after that, we’ve got my apartment and the other one (heretofor known as the “spare” apartment.)
Plenty of local fun before y’all have to head to the hotels. 'Course, for the true DopeFesters, the ones who start the fest at noon, feel free to do whatever you want. My apartment will be open to all or we can meet up at Pizzaria Uno up the street. Either way.
Um… I still need a ride from Chicago, if anyone’s going to be passing through…
hm…since i’m really just a lurker here but in ohio, can i come and lurk around and watch through the windows??
[aside]Guys! We got fresh meat in the thread! Think of the ways we can use and abuse a newbie![/aside]
Of course you can come, aphrodite! (Juniper said as if she were the host or something.) It’s always wonderful when we get to chance to meet new victims…I mean, friends.
that’s it…scare the shy girl!
Aphrodite, come! We won’t make you talk if you don’t want to and we’ll even put a chair outside on the patio so you can stare in the window if that’d be more comfortable for ya!
I’ll betcha you’ll want to come in and join the fun though. Your only a newbie once at a Dopefest, and then only for about a 1/2 hour! 
Well, it is a Halloween party…
Boo!
Of course you cam attend, Aphrodite! But there’s some things you’ll have to bring:
-
Cash. Lots of cash.
-
A small goat.
-
Neon body paints.
-
A number two pencil.
-
Rubber bands.
-
A ostrich feather.
-
Phone numbers of your connections to at least three Mexican Border Guards.
You’ll find out why when you get there. Heh.
You forgot to tell her about the jar of chunky, lo-fat peanut butter and the accordion, Persephone. Since it’s her first time, I’ll volunteer to pick up some of the slack and provide the pudding mix, the jumper cables, and the Bangkok yellow pages.
OK, OK, back away from the newbie, you crusty old dopers! Yea, you, Juniper. 
shields poor Aphrodite
Hey, drop that ruby-handled knife! Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about…
turns back to the poor child
There, there. Their bark is worse than their bite, I assure you. Medea’s Child and I will protect you from the big meanies. (And she’s without a phone line for the moment, so she can’t say otherwise.)
Is that what you two are calling it now a days? “Protecting”? Heh.
Hey tigg, you’re not ignored; I’m keeping my eye on the goings-on and am going to try to convince any ChiDopers this weekend that if they drive down, they have to bring you as their contribution to the party!
Hey wait a minute, mrblue! We weren’t actually doing anything to her! Just telling her what she had to bring! Sheesh!
Oh, and thanks, Juniper, for remembering the rest of that list. We’d really have been totally SOL without the Yellow Pages. :eek:
Kinda hoping to add my own version of Bangkok in Columbus.
And what, pretell, did you plan to do with these things she is supposed to bring? Hmmm?
