I know some nice abandoned mines in the area. It’d be the dopefest to tell your kids about. No? You’ll be begging for a nice cool mine come summer. ---

And, as usual, because I like to make lists, we have: **MamaHen SkipMagic auntie em Mirror Image egamI rorriM misstee Wikkit stormchaser Baker FilmGeek Erika acrossthesea sdimbert Horseflesh Lady Kate sperfur psychomonkey** … with “possibles” of: **Dragon Lady Dragon scout1222 Epimetheus** Am I forgetting anyone? Did everyone slip me $20 so that your name would show up? If not, you’ll need to hurry up! Which leaves us with _where_ we should jump-start this orgy. Any suggestions, anyone? Anywhere you’ve been burning to go? My guess is that some kids might be attached to this entourage, so perhaps we should keep this get-together relatively leather vest and slut-sheep free. Wooley-wooley. ---

Is this going to be in KC proper? Or somewhere in the vicinity? Inside or outside? Lawrence has some very nice parks if it is to be outside… 🙂 ---

When **Horseflesh** shows, all bets are off. … wait. That’s a pun. 😃 Inside/outside, it matters not. It’s generally in KC proper because that tends to be the place closest to the most people. But if public opinion moves it to Lawrence, then that is jest az gut. ---

But, but, but…I _like_ slut-sheep! That was the big draw for me! You know, all that fuzzyness and … I’m out here looking at [experiencekc.com](http://www.experiencekc.com/main.html) and I see some gardens, the city market, some parks, and some blues & jazz places for those of us who may want to stay for the nightlife. (BTW, who wants to stay for the nightlife?) There’s also [gointokansascity.com, which mentions a free attraction called [url=http://www.crowncenter.com/]mirrors & magic](http://www.gointokansascity.com/attractions/) at crown center that looks kinda cool. Or we could go to the [watkins museum](http://www:watkinsmuseum.org/) and visit the ‘150 Years of Office Supplies and Equipment’ exhibit. Woohoo! We know how to party! ---

Okay - I’m gonna try this one more time. The thing is actually called [mazes & magic](http://www.crowncenter.com/meetings/index.html), and you have to search for ‘magic’ to get it to come up. Oh, and when I said ‘Who wants to stay for the nightlife?’ I _might_ have meant ‘Who wants to pour me into my motel room after we party all night?’ Maybe. Or maybe I’ll be all partied out after ChiDope and swear off drinking forever. It remains to be seen. ---

And hey, folks, how about we steal a page from ChiDope and do a kinda-sorta multi-day fest? Still meet up on Sunday for lunch or something (and as the main event where everyone can meet, well, me), but out we also meet on Saturday for a trip to the Nelson? **Sperfur** gave some excellent links to some great places to visit in KC, so we can try to fit more than one thing in. Whatchoo tink? ---

I wasn’t supposed to admit it aloud, but yes. It’s a burning, yearning desire for **misstee** moments that I have to keep checked on the inside. Lest I betray myself in front of **auntie em**. And it looks like we’re able to talk here in the open: _she_ hasn’t shown up once in this thread! ---

I’m all for the multi-day fest idea. Gives me extra **misstee** moments, more time to spend basking in the glow that is **Horseflesh** , extra opportunities to poke **Wikkit** with a stick, stuff like that. Plus, I’ll get to see **auntie em** twice! Oh, and you’ll be there, too, **Skip**. 😃 ---

Hey, **sperfur** and **Horseflesh** : I might be headed up to ChiDope, too. I’ll be driving in from Cleveland, and on the way I plan on stopping by Chicago to see some friends. I’m going to try to make the **Gundy** ’s '80s party. ---
