I didn’t say none happened – given the circumstances and the scene made at the hotel, I don’t doubt they did. I was merely trying to be discreet, especially since, as I said, I wasn’t _personally_ aware of anyone specifically. But hey, if you want to call my observational skills into questions, have at it. ---

Crap. You’re cute. So, how do you feel about fat grumpy 37-year-old women who live in New Jersey? ---

We’ve had a few Tronnadopes, but they were pleasant gatherings over dinner. No wild bacchanalias as far as I know. Many Fests were in honour of visiting Dopers. Both visitors and locals tend to be married. ---

> [@GingerOfTheNorth](#): > > I likes you likes you for your mind. You’re sadly lacking in something important for the italics ‘likes’. Aw, come on! Can’t we at least _pretend_ to be bi-curious? It’s so fashionable these days! NE Dopefest? I’m game! Here or there? And yes, this may be verging into NSFW territory, but **Billdo** is indeed a picklenapper and bagel enabler. And I’ve seen his butt! :eek: ---

O-Blivious. Unbelievably, remarkably, astoundingly and totally oblivious. It’s really amazing that we finally managed to get him married off. ---
