I’m a “no”, alas. I’m flying to Baltimore the next weekend for my requisite conjugal visit. Much as I’d love to party with all youse guys, I’m afraid that weekend with husband takes precedence as well as all my spare cash. One of these days… one of these days… \ By the way, I was told that my proxy may be in attendance - did she leave Las Vegas with you, **think**?? ---

Just one question–what is the date exactly? BTW I only used topless Martha Stewart as an example. How about John Goodman in a thong instead? ---

Oh, I thought I said… I’m not really a “maybe” anymore. I got bumped down to “not really likely, unless the date gets changed this late in the game or I decide I really hate my family and won’t be going to the big 'do”, which is a long way to say “crap, stupid family stuff came up and I can’t make it” which is still a long way to say “can’t”. Unless, like I said, the date got shifted off the 2nd. Dangit all! -Rue. (of the real nice jammies) ---

Count me as a possible. I may be moving that weekend, but if not, the drive down from Cleveland shouldn’t be bad at all. ---

So have we found a place yet? I should be able to ride out again. Wonder if I should bring the motorcycle or actaully drive? I just need a new tire for the bike. Anyone from the DC area planing on going as I’ll drive. ---

I may not be able to come. We don’t have anywhere to stay once there, and can afford nothing anyway.☹ ---

This looks like fun! I may be in, though I’m a shy, lurker type and don’t know very many people here yet, and well I’ve only started one topic (and it was about porn so my reputation is probably pretty low even for those who remember me). 😃 I work for the airlines, so travel is not a problem (well, unless you count getting lost at the airport, which has happened to me on several occasions), but we’ll see if the time is good for this. People are coming in costumes as well as pj’s? Vanilla, Ah, darn it. ☹ \*crosses \* Vanilla \* off a small piece of paper with the hastily written title \* ‘People I must sit near to bask in their goodness.’ \* \* ---

**Vanilla** , I suspect I’ll get a room so you (including whoever “we” is) can stay with me if you like. Just so long as neither of you snores really loudly. I’ll write it off to karma, so don’t worry about the cost. Note: I am male but mostly harmless. ---

Dammit! I had this whole huge post yesterday listing a slew of hotels and stuff and it’s all gone! WT **F**! ## Here’s some c&p from livejournal, I’ll try to recreate the rest ASAP. I had some OhDope questions from (a friend) about the sparce information I included in my [weekend update](http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=thinksnow&itemid=133640): > [@](#): > > when are you givin’ some details? > what time are the whores showing up? > where the hell is cosmos? > is table dancing frowned upon? so… **details:** Well, the basics are included in the **[original OhDope post](http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=thinksnow&itemid=108458)**, the specifics are, as always unspecified. **whores:** you can show up anytime after, say 6 on Saturday, T. Friday night, for the pre-Fest, figure any time after 8 at my place would work (though probably closer to 10) and we can all go out and visit some of Columbus’ finer drinking establishments or stay in and have a “quiet” gathering (like the one in Chicago, **snort** ) **Cosmo’s Grill:** is [here](http://columbus.citysearch.com/map?mode=geo&map_lat=400745&map_lon=-831222&id=7821548&fid=2) and these are their details- 5857 Karric Square Drive, Dublin, Phone: (614)798-1772 **table dancing:** encouraged Again, it’s gonna be costumes and since we have to have the main thing in a public place I guess the PJ-part of the thing’ll have to wait until the after-hours at my place, _IYKWIM._ Oh yeah, the after-hours is at my place, btw. * * * Hotels in the area include: [li][Amerisuites](http://www.amerisuites.com/hotels/ajcq.shtml) [/li][li][The Drury Inn](http://www.druryinn.com/properties/columbusnw.cfm) [/li][li][Marriott](http://www.marriott.com/dpp/PropertyPage.asp?MarshaCode=CMHNW) [/li][li][Staybridge Suites](http://www.sixcontinentshotels.com/h/d/SB/hd/cmhtc) [/li] There are plenty more, too, so if you want to [google](http://www.google.com) or [MapQuest](http://www.mapquest.com) things, it’s Dublin, Ohio 43016. ---
