I should be able to attend provided that: 1. My work/class schedule permits (but I can maneuver it to do so). 2. Someone picks my confused Southern ass up at the airport. 3. I can stay at someone’s home. I can afford airfare and food expenses, but not a hotel, nosirree. ---

The Doorses **might** be able to swing it IF: [ul] [li]Zappo agrees to carpool[/li][li]Some nice Doper agrees to let at least two of the three of us stay with them. (Aaron doesn’t scream himself to sleep anymore. Of course, if he can stay with Gramma, he will.)[/li][li]We can swing it financially[/li][li]Airman gets to watch the Stillers in the AFC championship game. (Note: He’s holding a metaphoric gun to my head.)[/li][/ul] This weekend is penciled in the Doors Social Calendar. Robin ---

I’m going to try to get the money together to come. I don’t know if UDD or Dominic will be coming. Might actually be better if they didn’t, as UDD doesn’t really get into the dopefest thing, and Dominic just prevents me from going to bars and staying up late. ---

I want to try to make it to _one_ of these things this year… I should reserve a room at my brother’s hotel/apartment in the Upper East Side. ---

This is my official post to say put my name on the “YES” list. And I’d also like to be reappointed to the scouting team. Verily, tis a noble sacrifice we make, but someone has to do it. ---

OK, if **Billdo** et al are compiling yes/probably/maybe/could be possible if only…/no lists, then put me, **scott evil** , down as a ‘yes,’ and **jeremy evil** down as a ‘maybe.’ I don’t know what his course load will be like next semester or if he’ll still have Fridays off, so we’ll see if he can come, but _I’m_ definitely not missing this thing. 🙂 ---

**scott** , at this point I’m just going to list people as interested. I’m going to wait until a lot closer to ask for people to confirm. Hope you both can make it. ---

Try to keep me away. I believe I owe a few lap dances. ---

Well, **Billdo** , looks like I’ll be coming without the ball and chain. He’s super-dedicated to school and stuff, and to be honest, he doesn’t get _into_ Dopefests like I do. ---

OOooohhh Yeah! Take one for the team. But… I’m claiming the seat right next to you, of course! 😉 God, I can’t wait to see everyone again!😃 ---
