You know, I might actually have to learn to drive so I can get to these places.
I have a morbid fear of driving, though. Gives me the the twitches just thinking about it.
Maybe I can just ride the bus.
Mirror, if you were as much of a man as WithaK thought you were, you’d be driving all the time. 
Maybe you can get a ride from one of the local dopers next time you want to “go to lunch with a friend”.
Thanks again to everyone who brought anything; the tables and chairs were a good idea. And the drinks were lifesavers. If only there had been a better bathroom. The horse bidet was too public for my tastes.
I’m looking forward to fur’s get-together, and I do plan to do something this fall.
Yeah, I felt kinda creeped-out with the bestiality-inclined merman watching me as I peed in the bidet.
Don’t do it alone, I will help.
Its always much more fun when I am involved. 
We’re still talking about Dopefests, right?
Yes, I am.
SkopMagic, what were you thinking about?

Sorry about that Skip didn’t mean to hit submit reply, I really meant to preview.
Good grief, I need to go take a nap, it doesn’t seem like I can get it right today.
A few discussed threads:
The Horror of Toobs
The seven words you can’t say on the SDMB(nod to George Carlin)
The Final Theater Whine Thread
What else?
The brownies were Duncan Hines “Candy Shop” with M&Ms. I made them to spec, but put them in muffin tins instead of a pan. Let them sit for a day before eating them; they were pretty hard after they cooled, but had softened up by fest time the next day.
The peanut butter cookies were Betty Crocker mix. Like I said, I didn’t have recipies for my usual real deserts.
Where’s the recipe for the cheesecake brownies?

Thank you Wikkit!
