About “The Shirt…” Listen. I was there when it was purchased. I assisted in the arm twisting to get her to wear it. If anyone should be made to wear the shirt, it should be me this time. Is that okay? ---

The **Dr. J-Crazy Cat Lady** nuptials will be in New Orleans on the previous Monday, but we’re planning to come back on Thursday. If the funds still hold out and we’re not still hung over, maybe we can make it. Dr. J ---

Hey, Doc, you and **CCL** can just sit quietly in the corner (like any Doper has ever done that) if you want. The important thing is to be there. ---

I _may_ be able to house a Doper or two, but please, no one depend on me, as I’m unsure of whether I’ll have room. I’ll see how things shape up in the next couple months. (FYI, we’d have to train it in, unless **JohnBckWLD** wants to pick us up on his way west. ;)) ---

Oh…I was also going to wear a fedora. Would that work with the shirt? Because if not, I’d have no problem with **Sophie** wearing the shirt. I mean, I think I’d look okay in it, but Sophie…oh my…:eek: ---

It’ll work with the shirt, but the shirt will be doing all the work. But hey, don’t fight over the shirt. Wait, what am I saying? Please fight over the shirt, I have camera and no superego. ---

I suppose the novelty of The Shirt would wear off if one found (an)other(s)? Just wondering. ---

It most certainly wasn’t. But the thought of **Persephone** in that shirt…_yowza!!_ 😛 ---

I think **Manhattan** really owns the shirt so I will defer to him. BTW, where are the pictures of The Shirt? I’m trying to find a nice cleavage shot for LJ ---

Jeez, I just hope he doesn’t decide to wear it himself. And I know for a fact that \*_WeirdDave_ took a picture of you in it. You should axe him. ---

I know I have a copy, **Miss C** , but I’m not sure if it’s on the NYC Fest Website (which I can’t remember the URL of to save my life right now) or if it’s one of the ones I took but never got an opportunity to get up myself. I can send you the ones I have when I get home on Monday, if that isn’t too late. ---

I say, every Doper Chick who doesn’t get to wear the shirt, should wear a different article of white hot clothing. For instance – The Skirt The Shoes The Thong Eventually, we’ll assemble them into one contiguous Super-Ultra-Doper-Babe, a la Voltron. 😃 and I’ll form the head! what?
