Well, **sperfur** brought droolingly good marinated steak, and the day before she had made us all presents of Russell Stover’s chocolate! Good for her! **SkipMagic** and **auntie em** brought burgers, hotdogs, charcoal and all the trimmings, and I understand some other Dopers tried at least to chip in on that. **MamaHen** brought, among other things, Dr. Pepper, which I love. Someone else brought cookies, Fritos and dip, and I’m sorry to say I don’t remember who it was. I also brought cookies, snickerdoodles, and chocolate chip and I brought two pies, a rhubarb pie and a mulberry pie. Suffice it to say nobody went away hungry. ---

I am quite sad that I missed it. Since I don’t have a car I never get out and around anywhere and everyone I know I know from work. Since I’m currently having Issues with work people, I really could have used getting away from it all. Do any of you ever swing by Wichita? I know there is absolutely nothing to do here, but it’s a shot at least. I never got to meet the Japan Dopers, so I’m at least hoping to meet some people while living here… ---

Don’t forget, everybody who was there: you’re all supposed to email **dropzone** and **imthjckaz** and tell them in graphic detail about the lucious steak and wonderful time they missed. Thank you, **Whammo!** and **SkipMagic** for grilling! Your cooking skills are awesome! **SkipMagic** did a fantastic job organizing the whole she-bang, brought tons of food and fed us well. **Baker** let me take home the rest of her cookies, and I’m not sharing this time. I was too full to try her pies (BLASPHEMY!!!) but will definately try it next time. I enjoyed meeting those I’d not met before as well as seeing the ones I already knew. We should do this more often! ---

This was the first time I’ve met any Dopers face-to-face. Boy what a mistake!!! 😉 But seriously folks, thanks for a great time out and it was more than a pleasure to meet such a motley crew. Hopefully next time I’ll be stay for the full program. ( **Horseflesh, sperfur:** how was the Levee?) There were some surveillance photos taken of the Riverfront Brewery portion of the evening which have been uncovered over at this [site.](http://homepage.mac.com/bradserum/PhotoAlbum6.html) ---

What an amazing weekend! First I have to thank **SkipMagic** for arranging the whole weekend and for taking in the lost strays who had no place to go Saturday between activities. Thanks to **sperfur** for flirting with me and for giving my first SteakO. Thanks to **Baker** for the pies, I managed to get home with both of them. Thanks to **horseflesh** for his sexy “I’m a Little Teapot” dance, I can’t get that tune out of my head still. Thanks to **Whammo** for driving 2 hours out of his way both days to pick me up. Thanks to **LadyDragon** for the great advice and the memory of the brass bra. Thanks to **Hey you!** for just having a great name that was tons of fun to say. Thanks to **Erika** and **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** for just being amazing and sweet. Lastly thanks to **auntie em** for just knowing we were coming to her house and not freaking out about the invasion. Thank you all for the great weekend, when are we doing it again? 😃 ---

I had an incredibly good time with everyone who showed for any of the events this weekend. Special thanks goes to all of you Dopers who traveled far to be with us. I’ll write more–later–once work calms down. 🙂 They just get all wacky when President Bush shows up to speak. ---

A huge thank you to **TubaDiva** and any admin that had part of my return. I’ll behave. Second thing. WHAT A FUN WEEKEND THAT WAS! Unless you met them in person you would never know just how NICE **SkipMagic** and **AuntieEm** are!! Such gracious hosts. The kind of people you just want to be friends with. I had a great time, and you bet I will be showing up to future fests! I had a great time being “flirt buddies” with **sperfler** or whatever her name is :D. She should be invited to ALL parties! The biker **Dragons** are cool and not THAT scary once you get to know them! 🙂 **Baker** , your a sweetie and your rhubarb pie was INSANE! I tried to take the leftovers you gave me home but **mamahen** knocked me down, kicked me twice and took my pie! **HEY YOU!** heh… its fun to try to get your attention using your board name. That tiny little camera takes great pics! **Fierra** it was fantastic to meet you!! Special thanks to **MamaHen** for running through the rain and getting soaking wet in a clingy lil dress. 😃 ---

It’s a lie! **Baker** I did come home with both pies but only because I made **Whammo** feel guilty for knocking me down and kicking me 7 times! I have bruises!
