I think it’s going to be pretty easy to spot me. I don’t know exactly what I’ll do yet, but I do know it will be fairly obvious. 😃 ---

I -can- drive myself if you don’t–but having a ride would make things a little simpler for me. I’d even pay for a share of the gasoline. Let me know if you’re still up to it. 🙂 \*\* It all depends on what time the DF is expected to wrap up. I mean, I have no objection to lots and lots of driving (though LA to Arizona is a pain in the ass, literally), though I do object to lots and lots of driving while _asleep_. I am good at staying awake at the wheel though, so as long as things are done by, say, 1:00 I have no qualms. Um, that being said, could you give me an address to MapQuest so I know what I’m getting myself into? And speaking of getting into things, **Esprix** , **AudreyK** is officially the guardian of my honor and _cough_ chastity, and she doesn’t give in easily. Or cheaply. Trust me. 😉 [sub]Man, I’m in trouble now…[/sub] ---

Hey, we have it in writing, folks. {cracking knucles} I gots me some work to do… 😉 Speaking of - **Audrey** , what’s the going rate for a **KKB** these days? Let’s talk turkey, hon… 😉 Esprix, looking forward to this little shindig ---

**Esprix** , I’m afraid the price might be on the high side. See, **KKB** s aren’t at all easy to find. And I’ve become rather fond of this one in particular… But on the other hand, I have nothing but respect for you. Tell ya what: I’ll let you name your price. 😃 **Ashtar** , if we do end up driving you, I look forward to meeting you. ---

I have 17 confirmed, 4 maybes, and 2 unheard from. This is turning out to be pretty decent. Oh, and Esprix…don’t get your hopes up too much. Despite what Doob says, I’m quite straight. Sorry. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Monster104 \* > \*\*Oh, and Esprix…don’t get your hopes up too much. Despite what Doob says, I’m quite straight. Sorry. 🙂 \*\* Ditto. And since I am quite certain that **AudreyK \ does not want to walk all the way to Vegas \** , the price might prove to be quite prohibitive. Oh, and **Ashtar** , I MapQuested the distance from my humble abode to the Imax, and it turns out to be a tad long at 120 miles. For a 45 minute movie. This means, unfortunately, that I’m not going to be in your 'hood come Dopefest day. Sorry 'bout that. ☹ BTW, **Monster** put me down as confirmed. I’ve become horrible at checking the email account I’m registered at the boards under. See y’all there. ---

Sure, you both say that now, but will you respect me in the morning? 😉 (Hey, at least I don’t have to worry about you bragging to your friends about it! :D) Regardless of your protestations, my skills are well honed. Besides, I love to see straight guys squirm, either by my pleasurable physical ministrations or my audacious, flirtatious parlance of wit. 😉 Esprix ---

Ok, I’m going to be out of town until friday evening, but keep confirming while I’m gone! I’ll finish adding it up when I get back. ---

I went to a Jeeps Unlimited gathering last night. My '46 Willys was dwarfed by the YJs and TJs the others brought. I even made it home before it started raining. I forgot to look… What are the directions to the Dopefest from West L.A.? ---

**Johnny** , I thought you _liked_ the rain! If there are any fans of science-fiction and/or fantasy in the group, you should know that the best bookstore in the Valley, Dangerous Visions, is also on Ventura Boulevard, just a mile west of Jerry’s Deli, near Woodman. They have a website: [http://www.readsf.com/](http://www.readsf.com/) I haven’t been there in ages, and I think I’ll drop by before the fest.
