Oh, this sounds like the bash of all bashes. I hate it that I won’t be able to attend. . . unless there’s huge changes in my life between now and then I’ll have to send regrets. So drink one for me – at least! your humble TubaDiva . . . sigh . . . ---

Has anyone warned Chumley’s that our little party has swelled to about 50 or so? Whose taking notes? I think we need a roving reporter with one of those transistor recorders and a fedora with a little piece of cardboard with the word “PRESS” stuck in the band. ---

Hey Wonko, You couldn’t take _my_ word for it? 50 or so wasn’t percise enough I guess. ---

Biggirl simply has ESP. I mentioned this gathering to my brother, who works in Chelsea, and he might stop by on his way home if he’s at work that day. He’d be a very doubtful, but possible, 50th. ---

Not to be a tool or anything, but what are y’all wearing? I’ve considered wardrobe that would make me readily identifiable (a NJ Devils jersey in Manhattan = suicide at best), something comfortable (jeans, T-shirt, sneakers = freezing my ass off), something formal (service dress = Falcon would never let go of me), or something in the spectrum somewhere (?). . . Is anyone else along this thought process, or is it just me? Tripler I need coffee. Please. Coffee now. . . ---

**Tripler** A thong and a bowtie will have you fitting right in. If you wanna be less formal, then just wear the thong. Really, the Dopefests I’ve been to are informal. Just wear what you normally wear. I’ll probably be in my normal gear–stretchies and t-shirt. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tripler \* > Is anyone else along this thought process, or is it just me? **Tripler** , just to add my 2 cents, it’s just you. 😃 I’ll be below 14th Street, so I’ll likely be wearing all or mostly black - black thong, black nipple rouge, etc. Hope to see you in same. ---

But I’m a girl. It’s expected of me. Personally, I think I’m going the jeans/turtleneck/polartec jacket route. Of course, being a semi-stereotypical girl on these things, I will probably change my mind 20 times between now and January 6. 😃 ---
