**LIONsob** may or may not have survived the grandmama reference! \ Out with ‘this bunch’ **Lord Jim**? Suddenly I’m not getting a warm fuzzy about this… should all females have an escort? Aha, that’s it! 😃 [sub]Where’s that number to the escort service… I know it’s here somewhere, my precious… [/sub] ---

I am getting off of the rig tomorrow and I will be at HH tomorrow night (m/c club meeting), the last time I spoke to Angie (my HH contact) she told me that she would reserve us the area up front (as you walk in the door) because there will be a band (relatively quiet, folky kind of band) that night in the back, I just want to confirm things with her tomorrow, I told her “about 20 people” and that still seems like a good estimate, I am looking forward to this, it should be fun, I will post after I speak with her tomorrow. unclviny ---

I really want to come, but not at all sure I can. Because of the lateness of the hour, and it being in Houston, my hubby, **Mr Bear** will not be able to come. (He has to be at work by 5:30am on Sunday morning, in San Antone.) Also, since our anniversary is the 17th, I’m kinda hoping he will plan something here for just us two. I’ll just have to see what he has up his sleeve before I decide… I’ll let you know by Friday. If I can’t make this one, have fun, one and all. And will one or more of the lovely ladies attending please give as many hugs for me as you want to? _innocent, sassy smile_ (Remember, I’m a hugaholic and will hug anyone who will accept a hug, so don’t be shy on my account.) ---

Last year I came down with a bug just before the meeting so I drove her to it and then went back home to bed, she had a great time there and I wish I had been able to be there also. Re the grand mama remark, I should be out of the ICU by the 15th so I am looking forward to seeing everyone then. Peace LIONsob ---

I’m still on, and I’m going to be bringing info about my buddy’s show that’s on the 16th with me, as well as flyers for my birthday party on the 23rd, and I will probably start a thread about it tonight or tomorrow (among other things.) ---

Umm, which proffers another question?? Shoud we dress in tucks and tails or just jeans and “t” shirts?? I notice that Jinwicked always has a top hat on. I KNOW the place and the proper attire seems casual. HOWEVER are we expected to dress as the ADDAMS family?? JEEZE I hate to be wrongly attired!! Do I need to go buy that bowler I so much covet?? ---

OHHHHH! **jinwicked** I thought that was latex? Whatever it’s called, very sexxxy. For the performance (and no, folks who aren’t following the thread, this is not for the dopefest but the night after) will you have a store-bought or be using paint-on? **Craneop2** if you _want_ the bowler, buy the bowler - I promise to admire it!! As for myself, I have no idea what I’m going to wear – just that it’s going to be comfortable. **unclviny** , I’m guessing the bar next to Hickory Hollow is also casual attire, yes? What’s the name of the bar? ---

**CasperQ** , I always have dishonorable intentions toward **Ayesha** , but they are also always twarted in some way. It’s a long drive. I won’t know till the last minute if I can, but I hope I can make it. ---

For the performance (and no, folks who aren’t following the thread, this is not for the dopefest but the night after) will you have a store-bought or be using paint-on?** PVC/polyester blend and latex rubber are not the same thing. These are just normal clothes. Shorts, a crop top, and thigh high boots, to be precise. I was originally going to wear a catsuit but I am too small for the small and it ended up being too baggy in places. Go figure… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/houston-tx-dopefest-cmon-yall/152655.md?page=2)
