You’re a funny, funny little man, Shib. You talk as if we didn’t make it! Besides, I’m not working now and I’d drive down. So there! ---

I’m just checking in to tell you folks to take me off the list for the party. It looks like that will be the weekend that we are moving into our new house. ---

It looks like I can rent out one of the conference rooms from one of the many hotels in the area, so we should be good to go. Also, by doing this we can get a good rate for those that will be hotelling it. FYI ---

I am sure I already RSVP’d but checking back, my post is nowhere to be found. Strange…But anyway. Yes, I am looking forward to coming this year. If you remember last year’s party was the day my puppy-boy Jake chose to go get his ass runned over. (He’s all better now) Pajamas sound like a blast. We had a New Year’s Eve Jammy Jam one year and it was the best. No one was allowed to leave and it was understood to be a sleepover from the beginning. There is one hitch though, I never wear pajamas or anything else to bed. Do you think this will be a problem? ---

Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammIT! I’ve got an offer for a free five-day trip to the Outer Banks over Veterans’ Day weekend, so it looks like I’ma have to pass on OhDope. And that means I’ll miss **The Mermaid** in her beddy-bye wear. Dammit dammit dammit dammit. Why the hell couldn’t I have been born rich instead of so damned good-looking? 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ShibbOleth \* > \*\*Did I just hear **Shadowfox** say party at their place? \*\* Sure, if you all want to schlep yourselves up here to Michigan. We can barely get any of you Ohioans to visit Ann Arbor, and I’m another hour north. I may have a Dopefest at my house someday, after we finish fixing the place up (the house is a fixer-upper, it needs a lot of work first). ---

Sorry, my geography is American-standard horrible. Exactly what part of Canada is Ann Arbor in? Seriously, I’d love to visit Michigan sometime. I’m guessing Ann Arbor can’t be more than 5-6 hours from Cincinnati, right? ---

**Shibb** , it’s about 4, actually. Figure 40 minutes from Toledo, which is 200 miles from you. Okay, still narrowing down locales, to include a bar and some “conference” rooms at hotels, but either way, I think the costume/pj’s/starkers thing is set. ---

I’m in. Hope you don’t mind. And the pajama idea ROCKS! But I’ll have to find some new ones. Oh well. It’s as good an excuse to shop as any! Woohoo! ---

Now we can do both jammies and costumes can’t we? I’m thinking about the topless Martha Stewart kind of thing. ---

So, who’s in, who’s out? What’s going on? Do I really want to be a part of ‘Topless Martha Stewart Madness’? Is this the best thing for my young and easily influenced mind?
