Well, seeing as how I personally don’t eat pie, I’m contemplating changing it to “If come, bring beer”. But I’m guessing **TeaElle’s** pies and cakes might go over well with with the other folks; I really need more of a draw than “beautiful foliage” and pie might work. 😉

'Course it seems like all _some_ folks need is other Dopers.

Wow. That _is_ twisted! I love it! If I do, indeed, host a fest this fall and it works out, maybe I’ll talk to him about doing that sometime in the future.

You need to go bra shopping?

They’re not a good thing. When they’re bigger than your head, they’ve clearly got to go.
