I haven’t talked to any of the other Phoenix Dopers who were planning on flying to L.A. in October but what is the concensus? I feel we should still go unless we are prevented but others may not agree. ---

Well, I’m flying pretty much cross-country on Friday. I’m not at all calm about it, but I’m doing it. If I can do that, I can fly to LA. I’m prepared to still go. ---

Chin up kiddo. The bad guys haven’t seen the dopers. ---

Heh … I’d rather pump myself full of valium or xanax than merely keeping my chin up 😉 I’ll have to put a phone call into the doctor this week. ---

Since I wasn’t planning on going in the first place, this isn’t a surprise. But I just managed to get home from New York late last night (yes, I had the appalling luck to be there at the time) and I’m not too eager to go anyplace else for a while. ---

Strainger, Mauvaise and myself are going to the LA fest the weekend of the 20th. The more the merrier all things considered. ---

Of course I’m still up for it. If anything prevents us from flying, I say let’s drive. I’m hoping our European friends don’t have any trouble getting there. **FallenAngel** , let us know if you’re up for the trip.
