If I’m still living in Kansas City then, count me in! Unfortunately, the way the job search is looking, I may have to leave the area. ☹ ---

And I’ll bring a megaphone, so we can shout encouragement to you from the ground. This is sounding more fun by the minute! ---

If I’m still living in Kansas City then, count me in!\*\* That sucks, **elmwood**. I hope you find a job soon in KC so you can come! You guys won’t believe the feast I’m preparing for you. You’re really going to miss out if you don’t come! We’ll be having homemade ice cream as well as a huge list of other goodies. **Wikkit** , what kind of meat do you like to grill? Oh, and will there be any vegetarians in attendance? If so, I’ll make a few dishes slightly differently so you can eat them. So far the list of attendees looks like this: **auntie em Crunchy Frog** (will try to make it) **elmwood** (if he’s still in KC) **Erika misstee SkipMagic sperfur** (along with Maggie, Jasper, and the Evil Monster Kitty - Chloe) **Wikkit withaK** (if he doesn’t have a drill scheduled) and **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** is sending a ghost as her proxy (who probably won’t eat much) That’s 9 people, 3 cats (who will be locked in their room so they don’t try to escape, poor kitties ☹ ) and 1 ghost. Have I missed anyone? ( **Enderw24** , I need to get those pictures of you sniffing **SkipMagic’s** butt, so you should come. The world can’t wait until the next KC dopefest to see that!) 😃 ---

Sounds great, but our whole September is pretty well spoken for. Good food and butt-sniffing is pretty hard to beat, sorry this one won’t work out. ---

Mention St. Louis, and nobody has heard of the place. Say Columbia (middle of redneck land) and people come out of the woodwork, even Iowa! It isn’t you Crunchy, it is me. I am the odor that your deordorant can’t defeat. I should have stayed in So. Ca. Send your phone # again over email. If you haven’t heard, our main puter died so we are on laptop. Previous info is lost forever. Contact soon. I need to speak to a normal guy, rather than a sleeveless, cap wearing, mullet having, chicken wing licking, biscuit sucking, cornbread sopping, high riding jean wearing redneck sporting dildo can offer. We will talk about Columbians vs St. Louisans. Phone number… now! ---

Hey, I found this thread searching for my name 😉 I’d love to meet some of you all, though my season tickets for Mizzou football and the fact that I often have to work 8am-4pm on non-football Saturdays might make it tough. So I’ll just sorta play it by ear until I know more. At any rate, neither the game nor work will last for the entire day, so I could probably stop in at some point. And I can mention this to **NPavelka** too, next time I see him. ---

A _Dopefest_ in _Columbia_? Do you know how that sounds to outsiders? Mention the two together (dope and Columbia) and people start to wonder what you are doing on the internet. ---

:: bump :: So, **sperfur**. have you picked a date yet? **withaK** has drill the first weekend of the month so any other weekend is good for him. Plus, I found another Iowa doper who is a maybe. **Sanderella90** is a one time poster, but a long time reader. ---

What’s with all the Iowa lurkers? We’re supposed to be an edjumacated bunch, if our shiny new quarter is correct. We should all be spreading Maid-Rtes, ITBSs and corn all over the board. And questions about earwax and butter. ---

I soooo want to come to this thing. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I’ll be able to get off work. Call me a definite _maybe_ and let me know an exact date so I can draw the pentagram and invoke the demons necessary for me to be granted a comp day. Homemade ice cream and a cat to watch me pee…what more could a girl possibly ask? 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-a-columbia-mo-dopefest-and-youre-invited/192165.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-a-columbia-mo-dopefest-and-youre-invited/192165.md?page=3)
