All kidding aside, very true. I was pleasantly surprised at the Dopers I’ve met, who are (with very few exceptions) very cool and fun people.
(I remember that first ChiDope lunch at the Venice where it was, what, about a thousand degrees in there?)
Aw, c’mon, Dins, you know we’re just funnin’ with you, right? Right?
Bummer you won’t be there for the 31st, though – it’d be good to see you at a non-lunch ChiDope event. Have fun up in Fox Lake (well, as much fun as you can have in Fox Lake in the winter)!
Since the boards have been unstable lately, interested dopers may want to bookmark the ChiDope 2004 Live Journal Community in case there are last minute changes and people aren’t able to get to the boards. This community is mainly for planning the big ChiDope in May, but we’re also talking about the mini there.
(Thanks for the suggestion of putting the link here, Gundy.)
I’m really looking forward to this. It’s been much too long since I’ve seen some of you losers.
Dahrlink, your link doesn’t work. Maybe this slightly less well-executed one will:
GAH! Thank you, Eva.
Firstly – the whipping at Resi’s was more Jarbaby’s brainchild.
Secondly – Dinsdale, baby, you know I love you. I said you were only KIND OF a dick.
Thirdly – I muchly look forward to seeing Miss Jane D’Oh. Been too long!
Gundy, my dear, you are kind of too kind. Zanshin, you must not forget that i am like a delicate flower. Beautiful, but easily bruised.
I am glad the true nefarious purpose of this thread has finally surfaced. I will resist your blatant attempt to draw additional unkowing victims into your livejounal society. Resist, I say! (Uh, what was that link?)
You’ll be glad to know I seem to have my hair algae under control, and the black brush algae is pretty much restricted to my crypt wendtii. Still no luck finding true SAEs to help me with that. Just figured you’d want to know…
I guess I’m glad you didn’t call me a dick but I expected some sort of term of endearment…
Just wanted to say I love all of you so much I’ve been sequestering myself from the bar during my sickness so that I can rally and drink all the High Life Black Rock has to offer on the 31st. Maybe I should call ahead and have them set aside a case for me.
Is there no greater sacrifice, than I should lay down booze and fun for two whole weeks so that I might commune with you all?
Cafe 28 suggests reservations for parties of 6 or more, so if you want to come to dinner at the 31st, please post here or in thread in the LJ community.
Oh, what the heck, count me in for dinner. It’ll be fun to see how people’s behavior progresses (or regresses, as the case may be) over the course of the evening.
Oh great. People are gonna be monitoring my behavior? Man, what a buzzkill.
Oh, believe me, far be it for me to kill anyone’s buzz; au contraire. Otherwise, what fun would it be for me to watch?
Just a note that dinner at Cafe 28 will be at 6:30, not 7.
Assuming one showed up to one of these parts, how would they know who y’all are? I assume it’s nothing as silly as Straight Dope shirts. Turkey with mortarboard tattoos?
IIRC, reservations are usually made in the name of the “Adams Party,” though the noise will usually give us away.
Yep, it’s under Cecil Adams at Cafe 28, but if you come to one of the bar events there won’t be a reservation – we’re just walking in. If you decide to come, Chairman Pow (and I hope you do, I can always use someone new to call a dick) check out the live journal link. You can post there even if you don’t have an account – just make sure to mention your name. Plus, there are pictures of me so you’ll at least recognize one person there.
yeah, just look for the weird looking chick with the Kermit the Frog underpants on her head and another weirdo in a back brace
Only a few more days.
Christ, you people haven’t met me yet and already I’m a dick. My reputation must preceede me.
I’m sure as hell going to try to make it. Of course, that depends on how you people split the bill…
See, dick already!
