Yeah, **Strainger** and **UncleBeer** are going to be lodging here in Lansing so we’re going out to Emil’s for dinner. Anyone in Lansing or the vicinity is welcome to join us. BTW, I’m assigning myself as designated driver for Lansing area folks, if anyone is interested. Only 3 more weeks!! I’m bringing my camera; incriminating pictures are worth some money, ya know! 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sue Duhnym \* > I’ll probably come in on Friday and leave Saturday afternoon Okay, I’m definitely NOT coming. The move to Manhattan has totally screwed up my whole summer schedule. I won’t be in MI until the weekend before 7/4, I’ll miss you all by a mere week. ☹ ---

Cranky: Instead of starting a new thread, I think I’ll email BunnyGirl (since she started this thread) & see if she’ll email a mod & as if they’ll change the title. What I’ve also done is put a link to this thread in my sig. But I’ve been sigless for so long that I have trouble remembering to put the little checkmark in the sig box. :eek: Sue: Where in MI are you gonna be? The weekend before the 4th is my birthday, and if you wanna go have a brew anyway, I’d love to meetcha! 😃 ---

Just a bumpin’ away here. Also Sue, me and Mrs X would love to meet you! Note: **possibly** my new deck will be done for the party! Yay me!!! Also, in a previous post, I said I’d make breakfast on Saturday, well make that for Sunday also 😃 X ---

**Ralf** , excellent! We’re thinking between 6 - 6:30. It depends on what time **Strainger** and **UncleBeer** get into town and we all get around and going. I’ll call you as we get closer to The Day. ---

YUM! Beef jerkey! Count me in. Looking forward to our upcoming festivities. Is someone bringing their digital camera? I mean, we’ve got to be able to post incriminating photographs, right? ---

I mentioned this in an email, but I thought it bore repeating: I’ve been stockpiling chips and pretzels and stuff (groceries paid for through work), so if anyone has any requests (3-D Doritos, fer instance), let me know, I’ve got about 2 more opportunities to pick things up. I’m going to be digital camera-less, unfortunately, but eyah, we’ll need someone to capture the _spirit_ of the event 😃 ---

Why, oh why couldn’t y’all have waited to have this thing until mid-July? I went to high school and college in Michigan and have a dandy excuse for going up…but we won’t have any freakin’ MONEY until mid-July. Damn you. Damn you all. Because, you know, it IS a personal affront when people in other states organize Dopefests which don’t conform to my schedule. ---

Yeah, I gotta request. I wanna strip you down naked and roll you in Doritos’ nacho cheese powder and start nibbling at your toes and start licking my way up your body until I hi– Er, did I say that out loud? I meant to say “I have a digital camera, and I’ll bring it to the gathering.” ---

^ | | | :eek: Why, **Cranky** that’s exactly what I was thinking too! Lest any of you freak out, I’m just kidding! 😃 Whenever I think of **thinksnow** , I always remember his thread/post on tea bagging! BTW, checked with my dad and he’s good to go on providing me a couple packages of venison burger. However, a word of warning. He told me it’s his “special” burger. When I asked what that meant, he said he had them mix in some ground pork and a little bit of sausage spice. Hmmmm, could be interesting but I thought I’d give y’all a word of warning!
