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!

Today’s News Update
While everyone was out doing last minute shopping, Nacho4Sara announced she’ll be bringing her friend NachoGuestGladys. Meanwhile, our humble TubaDiva sent her regrets (but unfortunately did not make up a wacky story as to why can’t attend).
I don’t have much else that I can add, because Santa has asked me, with my nose so bright, to help him guide his sleigh tonight. See you down the chimney. Happy Holidays.
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 Billdo- what is the alleged count (including guests)? I’m going to be there tomorrow evening…
Wonko -
If you count up the names Billdo listed on his last post, it’s 49 people.
DAMN! This will be the best attended Dopefest yet!
EEEK!
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. . .
Can’t make it, but it sounds like fun.
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.
Aw Cripes! Don’t say things like that! Now I’ll never get Falcon to let go of me . . .
Tripler
But the thong is kinda tempting.
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.
First off, you WANT me to let go of you??? 
Second, yes, I’m wondering what the hell to wear. 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.
Touche . . .
Trip
Falc, got your card. Thanks!
floritd bow in Tripler’s direction
Anytime, hon. grin (And don’t worry…I’ll let you go. For a few seconds at least. ;))
Wait, we have to wear clothes for this thing?
I’ll start looking for the thong and bowtie… I know it’s around here somewhere…
Hey Falcon,
I have an eyepatch. Will that work for a thong?
Tripler
No cake icing, please. It’ll be cold out. My nipples’ll be hard enough . . .
so if we both wear a Devils jersey do we get killed twice as quick or do we have a chance to actually hurt some Ranger Fans? 
Wait.
BOTH Tripler and soulsling in thongs?
swoon My little heart can’t take it!
(And Tripler dear? That’ll be JUST FINE. However, you realize that I will now have to CHECK to see how hard those nipples are… :p)
