Since the [donkey costume](http://www.stressballworld.com/products/IMAGES/FULL/P/pr_dd13.jpg) I had in mund probably wouldn’t be too comfortable, I’d probably come dressed as my humble self, but speaking only Esperanto. Alternatively, dressing up as [“Captain” Paul Watson](http://www.seashepherd.org/crew-watson.html) should do quite nicely. So where’s this worldwide dopefest being held? I know of a little island right between America and Europe that seems like a logical place… ---

I’ll wear sepia-tone calico and bring my own lighting crew since this works best under professional supervision. Concerning the venue, we have enough room here for Dopestock, and I wouldn’t have to worry about parking my tractor.
