I might be able to come, depending on what my work schedule is (if we figure out the date pretty soon, I can make sure I don’t have to work that day, though). I work on the Plaza now, at the movie theater. I can’t offer free popcorn to Dopers, though, sorry guys. **Sperfur** was complaining at the last Dopefest I went to that I wasn’t 18, but I will be 20 by the time this Dopefest comes around. I like bowling. Too bad I suck at it. ---

Aw, geez, now **sperfur** ’s just gonna make you do something naughty. Sheesh. Don’t say you weren’t warned. ---

Are we finding our own sleeping arrangements again, or are we going to camp out in your backyard, Skip? I’ll go along with any activities the group wants. I too suck at bowling but I like to bowl, how wierd is that? Any chance of getting to the Better Cheddar store? ---

Rats, I’ll be heading to Colorado the weekend of the 14th-16th. ☹ ---

[/QUOTE] I bet I suck at bowling more than you do; last time I went I ended up bowling a 32. There’s a Better Cheddar on the Plaza, but no bowling alley. I don’t know what bowling alley would be closest. (There’s also a Better Cheddar in Prarie Village, KS). Also, I’m totally immune to peer pressure, so **sperfur** can’t make me do anything naughty (or at least anything worse than what I did at Underwear Ball, which was dressing in ridiculous lingerie and grind dancing with two gay guys at once). ---

If at all possible I’m in! I’ve been in KC area for only 4 months, but I’m ready to meet the KC Doper hive/collective/flock. I don’t have any suggestions, most everything is new to me. fandj ---

Heh, much as I’d like the newest Spooky Mansion (which ain’t as spooky as the first one, but I’ve [been](http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/skipmagic/Misc/5fc9b99f.jpg) [trying](http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/skipmagic/Misc/dda0d3a3.jpg)) to become Chez Hotel Skippy, **Baker** , I’m afraid we’ll probably already have guests staying over that weekend. (Besides, you Internet people are scary. I’m not sure I want you to know where I live. ;)) I’m up for bowling, if that works out for the rest of you. Should we do that on a Friday (assuming leagues haven’t taken over the lanes that night)? Or should Friday just be an easy get-together at a fun food place where the music ain’t too loud? Also, does another laid-back cookout for Sunday sound good? And if so, wanna do Shawnee Mission Park again? ---

Bowling _well_ was never a pre-requisite for going bowling. In fact, I propose our outing should have absolutely nothing to do with bowling well. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… **DoperBowl '06!** Frame 1: Normal bowling. Let’s get this boring deviation out of the way early. Frame 2: Bowl with the opposite hand. Frame 3: Sit on the floor and bowl by pushing the ball forward with your feet. Frame 4: Bowl backwards between your legs (Don’t hike the ball — keep it on the ground!) Frame 5: Get on your knees and bowl, pig! Frame 6: Slo-o-o-o-o-w - mo-o-o-o-o-t i o n b-o-o-o-o-owl. Frame 7: Bowl with the most differently-weighted ball available. Frame 8: Get someone else in the bowling alley — NOT with our group — to bowl one frame for you. Frame 9: The Blind Bowling the Ball! (You may want a partner to help aim you down the lane instead of at other unsuspecting bowlers. Frame 10: Have someone stand in front on you, legs spread. Roll the ball through their legs. (Watch the crotches, people! — Not literally!!!) _ **Lowest score gets a prize!** _ ---

God yes a dopefest! I’ve been waiting for another one to come round. I broke up from my boyfriend last november and I’ve been working out my angst via owning my first home (at home) and learning to be a dba (at work). Now I’m ready for some fun with people outside of work. As far as I know I’m free for the rest of the summer after next weekend, and I’m up for anything. ---

Also, Baker, I love going to the Better Cheddar. There is one in Prairie Village but its not as good as the one on the Plaza. You need an escort, I’m your girl. ---

Excellent! It’ll be good to see you again, **ouisey**. Let’s see, so far we’ve got: **SkipMagic auntie em Baker sperfur withaK paperkingdoms Wikkit Hey you! FilmGeek** Mr. FilmGeek (whose on-line name I can’t recall) **Katriona FandJ ouisey** With possibles of: **Mirror Image egamI rorriM Fierra GLWasteful** You know, what I was thinking that we could also do is hit a minigolf course. Minigolf, bowling… might as well go out and buy the trailer now. 😉 ---

**ouisey** , I do hope we can squeeze in a trip to Better Cheddar. And I will need a guide, I don’t know where it is! I’ll take this opportunity to ask once again if anyone wants to share a room. I’d rather stay in KC than drive home at night to Topeka, but if I can’t find a roomie, or roomies, then I’ll do that. This is going to be great! ---

I might make it for day-time activities. I have to perform in the evenings, on Friday and Saturday. ---

And if you’re still looking for activities, I know a Bar and Grill where you can catch a kick-ass magic show. 😛 Any under-age dopers would have trouble getting in though. ---
