Thank you laserkitty for finally giving me permission to get bombed in front of complete strangers.
Well! Thanks to some generous dopers, I will be coming to OhDope 3 to see the end of the SingleThinksnowEra. I can’t wait! Holy cow, I can’t believe I’m actually going. WOO!!
Wow, sexy Spanish shark attending our little shindig! It’s surely going to be a party now. Hope you’re bringing some other ChiDopers with you… can you kidnap Gundy or Hamlet?
I’ll certainly try! Shibb, is your wife coming along, too? I’m bringing the Mrs! 
Depends on how mad at me she is that weekend. Let’s say it’s 50/50. It will be nice to meet your better half (is that okay to use?).
The GeoBills will be there in style. Wow, my first OhDope. I FINALLY had that convention moved so it didn’t conflict. Boy, that took SOME doing!
Oh man! Tibby’s gonna be there? Uhh… well… now I think I have plans.
Yeah, the plans are to go to OhDope, but now I’m planning on being EXTRA charming.
Hey! I can TOO be charming. Ask anyone. (Anyone except Shibb that is.)
Man, I guess I better get a costume idea together! As soon as I close on the house, get moved in, get unpacked, and finish the wedding plans, I’m all over the costume thing.
Really.
Hey, about your house?
Do you have a fireplace? No real reason, I’m just curious. Really.
Also, do you have a stationary tub? Or just a big plastic sink down there by your washer and drier? These are very handy to have, stationary tubs.
And how much fire insurance can you get by the end of the month?
No fireplace, no tub (though I might rig one up in the garage in the future.)

Just so youse know, it’s extremely unlikely that I’ll make it up there on Friday night. That’s Trick-or-Treating night. But Saturday is still on. Just trying to figure out how to make my costume work.
My mom is going to be in town (Columbus, of course) on Nov. 1. She’s the person who first introduced me to Cecil’s fight against ignorance, so I credit her with my current Doperdom. Can she come to the party too, even though she’s not an on-line Doper?
Sure, but she’ll have to sign some papers affirming that she will, within 48 hours, create an online user name and post not less than 50 replies, or 10 OPs, without becoming involved in a Pit thread or any mention of 1920’s style anything… or pie belonging to anyones base…
I’m starting to get a sneaking suspicion that anyone can show up to this shindig think. I gotta say, it’s starting to make me feel less special.
Hey–are you telling me that my mom is just anyone?
When you meet me, and discover the true awesomeness that this woman managed to produce, you will feel different, I think. 
And I haven’t thought about my costume, either. Hell, I got done flunking an exam yesterday, I have to get all my job-hunting gear together for a conference on Monday, and I need to clean the house so I can have a friend of mine crash out in relative peace and comfort this Saturday night…one thing at a time, you know?
Not just anyone, Rue, no, but there are occassional exceptions. And everyone knows you’re special. Very, very special.
Getting close, sorry for not updating and listing details and all that schuff, but, well, I’ve been more than a little busy unpacking the house, hanging blinds (not people), and making sure we have a tent, some heat, and plenty of food/beer/etc, not to mention the minister and all that.
Email me if you still need maps or whatever.

Can I call you at the number in the invitation/directions Friday evening to find out where y’all are? I gotta pick up porcupine at CMH about 8:30pm and we’ll probably wanna head out to find you guys and get something to eat.
Sure thing, and that goes for everyone.
It’ll be a safe bet to just head North from the airport to Easton, as I’d wager we’ll all be somewhere in there.
