At work, that is. Although we should _probably_ do this on one of my days off, I was thinking “Dopefest at Grand Casino Hinckley”. Cool, right? RIGHT?? Sometime in June or July, as I’m planning a move in August or so. What say you? Yes, right? RIGHT? Because I’m so incredibly fucking cool that you’re just bursting at the chance to meet me, right? RIGHT???
That’s what I thought.

Hey you! Yeah, you! Over there in Wisconsin! Get your ass over here, it’s time to party the Minnesota way! Yeah! WOO!! (Wait, they sell beer after 10 and we don’t… Aren’t they cooler??) Anywho, anyone’s invited (obviously, it’s a public casino). And I’m DEFINITELY going to make it to this one because, well, I work there…

And it can’t be on one of my days off either because I don’t get weekends off. It’s all good though, since I work graves. We can just hang out a bit before I go to work, then you can all laugh your asses off at me in my oh-so-sexy (riiiight…) burgundy shirt and the way I schmooze guests. I’m such an ass-kisser. Really, it’s entertaining, so come on over and see it.
“Will someone _please_ inform this chick that OPs **can** be longer than one paragraph and three posts in a row are just NOT necessary?!”
Yeah, sorry 'bout that.

I hate gambling, but I’d make the trek… Yes, I really would.

I would just like to point out that this is likely the first and only MN Dopefest I’ll ever attend. So if you’re in the area, and you’ve ever wanted to meet me, now’s the time.
“Silver Fire! Get 'er while she’s hot!”
Seriously, this is a one and only chance type of thing.

Well I guess that’s one way of getting you to show up.
Maybe we shoulda got you a job at Hooters so you could have come to the last one.😉
Well Spider Woman and I are up to it, although I don’t know if we’ll be gamblin, that still requires money, don’t it?

Okay, this is what I’m seeing. We aren’t a bunch of gamblers. That’s cool, since I can’t gamble there anyway. And I can’t be hanging around people who ARE gambling. So, we could eat. We could hang out, cruise the floor and laugh at all those pathetic losers throwing all their money away. Kidding. No, I’m not. I’ll have to go to work anywhere between 10pm and 2am, at which time you people can retire to hotel rooms or a chalet, or you can go home. Or you can stand around and laugh at the uniform pants that make my ass look HUGE. Whatever you guys decide after I go to work is fine with me. Maybe breakfast in the morning, if you all stick around.

Can we do this like at the end of this month? Seriously, I’m excited about this. 🙂
I like meeting new people.

Sounds like fun!
Can us Wisconsinites come too?

I’ve never been to the Hinckley casino. It could be fun.
What kind of dates are we considering here?

I’m going to propose the 16th or 23rd of June. May won’t work for me at all (I’ll be in Winona the weekend of the 19th and Rice and Little Falls for Memeorial Day weekend) and the first two weekends in June are already booked (I’m moving).
What do you guys think?

Count me in, too! As long as it’s not between July 2 and July 9 (I’ll be in Seattle then). This is gonna be great!

…if it’s at a time when I can. June 23 until July 8 is out for me because I’ll be in Alaska. Any other time is at least a possibility.
Actually I was just at Grand Casino Hinckley last Saturday clad in my Doper T-shirt, gorging on buffet food and watching stupid people give their money away. Did you see me? Probably not, since you said you work graves and I was there at around 2:00 p.m.

I’m up for this, but my schedule is chaotic. June 2nd to the 9th I’m going to be sunning on the beach in North Carolina, and one of the weekends after (16th or 23rd) I’ll be busy, but damned if I know which one …
So, basically, schedule what works for everyone else, and if I’m free, I’ll definitely come. Mostly because I’ve never been in a casino before.
[sub]Quit looking at me like that! I’m corrupt! Honest! I go to strip clubs all the time! Well, not ALL the time, but I’m … sigh, forget it. I’m not corrupt yet.[/sub]

Where in the hell is Hinckley? I will be free in June.

I knew it. I leave, and Silver decides not only to attend a Dopefest, but to actually put one together.
I have to make at least one trip to MN to get some of my stuff, so I may see if I can make it to this wingding.

**Kvallulf** :
“Where in the hell is Hinckley?”
Well, where in the hell are you?
**MsRobyn** , I’m sorry! Really, I wasn’t _waiting_ for you to leave or anything. And it’d be really cool if you could make it to this when you come back up.
Okay, here’s the deal. I’m moving. I already mentioned that, right? Well, I wasn’t planning on moving for a couple months, but that could very well be changing. But if we do this when I want to, **chique** won’t be able to come. ☹ Now what?
