Yeah, me too.

Hopefully third time will be the charm – or you said you might make it down for something in Philly sometime? I should organize an outing.

Sounds good, give me the heads up and I will try to make it. Possibly w/o family though.

Feel better soon, I am really sorry you’re going to miss out. I was looking forward to meeting you.
[/QUOTE]

What Exit? I wish I could have made it too, but I’m stuck in the office–it’s been a week of crisis. I also have an e-friend from Austraila coming to NYC next week, and he called me this morning to set up plans. We talked for two hours!

I’m definitely coming to the next one, even if I have to quit this job!

What_Exit · September 16, 2006, 4:41pm

It has turned into a very nice day.
I guess we’ll be inside and outside today.
The Grass is still very wet and fairly long. Oh well.

Just wanted to say thank you to What Exit? and family for hosting this get-together. I had a very nice time and it was wonderful to meet you all!

As did I. Gorgeous day, too, as it turned out.

I second this statement.

Lovely house, lovely group of people, nice kids, and Hal Briston’s Cutest Baby In the World.

Among subjects discussed:

Cats: stepping in their vomit, and which is better, stupid cats or smart cats?
Obscene phallic balloon sculptures (courtesy DocCathode)
Siamese twins (and what happens when they both have food poisoning and have to throw up at the same time)
Which is the worse accent: Philadelphia or Baltimore?
Being tortured by siblings (or doing the torturing)
Bad celebrity plastic surgery
How every other message board except this one is comprised of six-year-old girls at slumber parties
How everything in Amsterdam comes with hash in it, including baby formula and hairspray

What_Exit · September 17, 2006, 1:42am

Thanks everyone, I’ll try to post some pictures tomorrow.
It was a lot of fun.

Jim

Available_Jones · September 17, 2006, 2:30am

Yes, thanks to Jim and his lovely family. It was indeed a good time.

Eve, that’s a perfect recap; I really enjoyed your sense of humor.

I second the comment on **Hal Briston’s ** daughter – she’s an angel!

It was a pleasure to meet you all!

And another echo of this. Thanks for organizing and hosting–I couldn’t have fit that many people in my house, let alone feed them. I had a great time, and it was a blast to meet you all. Next time, we’ll try to stay away from the cat vomit conversation.

What_Exit · September 17, 2006, 4:34am

If I misnamed any or there is any problems viewing, please let me know.
Or if you just want the Picture removed.
Thank you everyone for making it such a fun and successful day.

Thirded. And thanks Doc, for giving me the penis.

Hey. Wanted to thank What Exit? for throwing the Dopefest. First one I’ve been to, had a lovely time. Nice to finally meet all of you in person. I’ll have to get my wife to come along for the next one.

Too much caffeine and sweets today: So I was productive at least and here are my pictures of the DopeFest.

Oh, good lord, I asked you if you knew Photoshop!!!

Actually, I bought a great camera to make up for my mediocre skills and I still use the old Windows Office 2000 Microsoft Photo Editor because it is so quick and easy to use.
The Panasonic DMC-FZ20 has the top rated Auto-Focus and Image Stabilizer on the market last year. It makes me look like I know what I am doing.

I think that was me, so I did do some touch-ups.

Anyway, my pictures are up, at http://homepage.mac.com/smcgroty/PhotoAlbum12.html

Hal_Briston · September 18, 2006, 1:38am

Ok, back home after the weekend away. Jim, thanks much for hosting – we had a terrific time. Certainly wish we could have stuck around longer, but it was good meeting you all (or seeing you again, as the case may be).
I’d thank you all for keeping the jokes to a minimum, but, well…

Eve · September 18, 2006, 1:42am

Well, those photos have definitely given me the necessary kick in the ass to lose some weight . . . What was that “cat vomit/medication you’re allergic to” diet plan we were discussing?

You are most welcome, can’t complain about the jokes too much, your wife made the funniest one at your expense.

Was it something along the lines of, before you reach for that slice of pie, think of cat vomit? Seems like that might work.
I found a stray black umbrella. Did anyone misplace one? It appears to be a London Fog.

FYI, I’m the “?” in the swirly blue shirt. Name tag wouldn’t stay on, so not a surprise that you didn’t know my name.

Had a great time again, Jim. If you keep more than doubling the turnout every time, in three or four more goes you’ll have the entire Dope in your kitchen!
