I hope everyone had a safe holiday, gathered with loved ones. Geobabe and I had a lovely time with the rest of the Vacation clan.
YIKES! The party is tomorrow :eek:
Well here I am at my parents’ house. I figured I would ask here, in case anyone was afraid to do so (ha. Folks around here are unabashed in their questions!)*, whether it’d be ok to bring a (mostly) harmless teenage kid/boy/human being (depending on what day it is) to this dig. He’s been to fests before, but they were also rife with young people (substantially younger than he). So yeah. He doesn’t know about it, so if the answer’s no I probably just won’t tell him. But if the answer’s yes, he may be there.
Still dunno about my mother. We’ll see. I guess y’all will see when I arrive with X (X being at least 0 and at most 2) people with me.
*Yes, I am aware that the phrasing of it makes it look like someone else was afraid to ask if my brother could attend. You wanna try being coherent after a ~450-mile trek, you be my guest.
As long as he’s not creepy.
OK, someone hide that post from Lucretia and Bluesman…
Seriously, though, he’s like a combo of me and a young RT. I have no earthly idea what that says about his creepiness.
Hey, you know this crowd well enough to know that the real question is whether you want to inflict a bunch of MADs on “a (mostly) harmless teenage kid/boy/human being” who has done nothing whatsoever to deserve such harsh treatment. (IOW, of course he is welcome.)
BTW, Pun, we are expecting a couple of young children and Geobabe has generously volunteered your services as the party babysitter.
Fine by me. I’ll need a nap around 6 anyhow:D
A nap is a good thing; we don’t want to have to put anyone in time-out. 
It says:
Run away! Run awaaaayyy!!!
See you at 3:30 Anita with the folding table and some other party supplies!
Hell, why do you think I moved 450 miles in the first place? And ~500 to high school…
My mother announces, in her pajamas (those of you with your minds in the gutter, which is most if not all of you, are hereby advised to get them out NOW. Not because she my mom but because she’s older than dirt), that she will not be attending.
So RT, you wanna lead the first chorus of dies irae, dies illa?
Grar. I don’t mean to post 3 consecutive, but:
“Well I guess since dwalin is going, I’ll make an appearance.”-my Mommy.
FIVE MINUTES AFTER SHE SAID SHE WASN’T GOING.
I am not updating the status of her re: dopefest again before I leave unless she dies or becomes a walrus or something of similar consequence (y’all don’t want a walrus there, right?).
No Walruses!
Signed, Opus
Well, we’ll be on our way from Cumberland in about 15 minutes. I will bring some Sam Addams, and some fresh-ground 100% pure Kona.
We’re home, safe and sound. Had a great time!
We got home about midnight, hit the bed by 12:30. Unfortunately, little one had a nightmare about 4:30am and we didn’t get back to sleep til 6:30. It’s gonna be a loooong day:)
Another fab Doper party! Muchos thankos to Anita for hostitude! Your tricolor kitties are soooo sweet. Maybe next time, I bring pie. 
Kathy Everybody and I had a dandy ol’ time, even tho’ I nearly got my thumb bitten off. But it was worth it. Thanks to Anita for a great party and puttin’ up with us rowdy raucous types!
dwalin and I got back, not so safely because I prefered being warm to scraping every last bit of frost off my windshield. But we’re ok. I am still sleepy, though. That will pass eventually.
I am wondering about how a few of those who drank on my behalf (or so it seemed:D) are doing. ::goes to shoot off email::
nyctea, you should know that your listed email doesn’t work and your homepage is Error 404. On account of I tried to email you and it didn’t work. So
