Oh, sure. Scoff now, you little love goddess. Somebody will be around to take me up on it.
Maybe several someones. 
Ha! See, Persephone!
I knew Jester wouldn’t let me done!
[Pictures. I want pictures]
Geez, Arden, you keep telling people to grope others for you at these things…when are you going to show up at one of these so you can get groped yourself? 
Jester, Jester, Jester. Sigh.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your enthusiasm. Really, it’s just charming the socks off of me! However, my gropables are a “minor-free zone.” My own children haven’t even seen them (well, my daughter has, but that’s only because I let her shower with me).
So, that means no groping for Jester. If the cops are going to get involved in a Dopefest, let’s let them get involved for some other reason, something much cooler, like arson or grand theft auto, okay?
Hey. As long as I’m a poor college student stuck in Oklahoma, these things may as well be on the other side of the world.
I have to depend on the kindness of others to handle my groping for me.
Y’know, it’s just LIKE you to go and make something like this all complicated. Thanks alot, Persephone.
Well, I suppose I can still bring my gasoline and matches…
okay, all we need is some witless ido- um…selfless helper to pick up the pile of vehicleless bums in Pittsburgh. (Jester, Le Sang if he doesn’t have plans, me…)
I’m game, but I’m also a college student with no ride and little money. In Pittsburgh.
I’d love to show up (Can I be a tavern wench? Please?) but I’d need a lot of help.
Either way, sounds fantastic!
Arson? We an burn things?
sly grin I bet I can get some neat-o stuff from teh Chem Labs… MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Jester-Just introduce the parentals to fine upstanding Dopers like me. “So this college chick, Medea or something, wants to take me to Ohio for a big party. Can I go?”
Hmmmm. How far is it from Pittsburgh to Columbus? On the back of a bike?
Mapquest says:
Pittsburg, PA to Columbus, OH
TOTAL ESTIMATED TIME: TOTAL DISTANCE:
3 hours, 9 minutes 185.1 miles
Heck, that’s less than my drive from Loooey-ville! (and closer than the Michiganders, IIRC)
Will there be free food?
For you? Maybe.
This might have to be a pass the het type of thing, but I’ll give more detail as time marches on. I just wanted to get the idea out there for now and set a date.
Uh, pass the hat, not het…though whatever people wanna do, I’m not gonna stop them.
[sub]Hmm…pass the het…a SwingerDope?[/sub]
How about a potluck, think?
And since you’re single, well, we can just leave the leftovers and you’ll be able to eat for a month.
Hey! I’m an ex-pat (I was born in New Albany, Ohio), can I come? I’ve still got family living in Ohio, and it’d be a nice excuse to come and see them.
PS I grew up in New Albany when it was just farmland and poor people! I haven’t lived there in 13 years, and have no connection with the soulless bastards who’ve bulldozed the town and paved over it.
I am in Delaware OH. I could prolly find a ride though, with directions of course.
Are we mostly-lurking-and-only-occasionally-posting Dopers invited? I live in Columbus, in the OSU campus area.
People actually want to go to Ohio? Huh. Who’da thunk it.
October’s a long way off right now, so I’m not sure. I’ll keep it in mind, but it would take some major coercion to get me to dress up…
Well, I work two jobs during the school year, and I don’t have the schedule for either yet. Ordinarily I’d say yes right now, but we’ll have to wait and see how my evil overlords schedule me.
Pers, of course you can ride down with me/us! Hubby may or may not go; I told him about it last night and he got this pained look on his face. We’ll see what happens!
I say we make it a BYOB + Potluck. That way, think, there’s no expense on your part except for the damages to your apartment and the bond you’ll have to post to get us all out of jail. You said you had some money put away, right? Might want to think about keeping it liquid, you know, just in case you need some extra cash to bribe the police.
Pers, let’s talk costumes at the Art Fair next weekend!
mrblue, the only time in my life that I’ve rooted for UofM was when they played against Ohio State. I had a good friend who was a raving OSU fan and we had this big hotel room party to watch the game and UofM won! Go Blue! I was merciless in my tauntings!
The more, the merrier. The whole point of this is for everyone to meet each other. thinksnow and I live in the same town (I just moved back to Louisville), and we’ve never met. Which reminds me…hey, thinksnow, when are you heading up to Columbus to prepare this shindig?
