**Jodi** kicks much ass. Thanks! **Shayna** kicks much ass. Thanks! We made it home 10 minutes ago. No, we didn’t get blown up at LAX. Yay. I’m exhausted. I want to see pictures. We got just a few, I think. I’ll post them and discuss later… Goodnight. 😉 ---

I say this in the hope of not coming off as a total pervert, but when someone has shiny pieces of metal coming out of their ass (or appearing to,) I usually take notice. Nice meeting you guys. ---

I want to say that I had a great time this weekend. **Shayna** , darlin’, you did a truly wonderful job. Our guests of honor, **Coldy** and **Spiney** , are very nice people. It was a special pleasure to be around them, [sub][sup]and they talk funnier than I do… OK, maybe not.[/sup][/sub] And what a delight it was to get to be with **Shayna** in person after the many hours we’ve talked and played games on-line. And I can’t spend a weekend in **Scotti’s** presence without acknowledging what a sweet, caring person she is. And to everyone else that was there, **y’all** were great. I had lot’s of fun and hope to do it again. Jim ---

I’m home and beat. I can verify that seadiver’s belt was not a thong, simple because she showed a bunch of people who asked the strap from her real thong. Must sleep now. ---

Oh, was there a dopefest in our general vacinity? Hm, thought I heard a bit of a cacophony northwards of our location. Ah, well. I hope you all could find a way to have fun without us. It must have been difficult, and the effort must have been great… 😃 Well, **thomasm** and I had other plans for the weekend and couldn’t get away. Thanks to all who inquired after us. Cheers, JOhn. ---

Home, tired, gotta pee, (Is that a measure of a true doper? I just realized I sat down and logged on before going to the bathroom after a 7 hour drive) Everything was great. Everybody was fabulous. Blah blah blah. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Sleep (and sorry for the TMI) ---

At least the no-directions giving lady when I was trying to return my car. The other parts of California may or may not suck, depending solely upon my personal observation and decree. FYI ---

I had too much fun this weekend and I’l;l be recovering at work tomorrow. Californai’s a bitch because you can’t make a frigging U-turn anywhere but at least the nice policemen that came to visit us Friday night didn’t arrest us all for public drunkenness and disturbing the peace. Spoofe, I’ll get some pictures sent to you but I have a pile of them. Let me know how you want them sent. ---

I’ve just stepped in the door back here in Tampa. Another non-traumatic flight, thank God. And I miss everyone already. I’ve got a 12 hour nap scheduled for about 10 minutes from now, so I’ll just be back later. katie ---

High-quality (read: 640X480 minimum, 800X600 or so preferred) would be nice. Were you one of the ones with a digital camera, or film? If you were taking digital pictures, just send them as-is (I have a cable modem, so downloads aren’t a problem… however, if it’s too slow for you, feel free to shrink them at your discretion). Oh, and send them to my alternate E-mail account, [JMSPOOFE@Yahoo.com](mailto:JMSPOOFE@Yahoo.com) to keep my Hotmail in-box from getting stuffed. Thanks! ---

I have not laughed so hard in years as I did during **Joey Hemlock’s** second floor balcony techno concert. GAWD! With performances like that, Tequila will be around for the next thousand years. Thanks SO much to whoever did those nametags, even our crashers had them! As for the Limo Ride From Hell [sup]TM[/sup]Saturday night, **Sue** , you are an absolute DOLL for putting that together, and I was in pure awe at the way you were handling our “driver”. By the way, license plate 1ZZ G080, car number TCP-12560-P, in case it helps with the lawsuit. As for **thinksnow** getting stripped by **Sapphire Bullet** out back behind the motel, well, I’m just glad the cops weren’t there at the time. And **Nen** , there are some pictures that should not be published, like the tea bagging shot. Trust me. **WeirdDave** , VERY cool jack-o-lantern. Nice touch to the festivities. And for **“Eat more salad” Shayna** , nice party, young lady. Very nice party. The motel will never allow another person with a name remotely similar to “Cecil” anywhere near it again. I hope the liquor store doesn’t shut down this week for lack of business, but I think we paid for their kids’ college tuition over the weekend. To all those I met again, for the first time, or never got around to talking with, we can all be assured to have something to tell our grandkids when they ask, “And what did YOU do during DopeToberFest 2001?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/l-a-cold-spine-octdoper-fest-the-aftermath/88684.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/l-a-cold-spine-octdoper-fest-the-aftermath/88684.md?page=3)
