Hmmmm, Esprix, after the scene you made with CelticCowboy I would certainly have assumed you had called well before now. š
Mr. āI make party plans for a livingā waiting till the last minuteā¦what is the world coming to!?! š

No, theyāre not out of business, but they do claim to be the last Farrellās in the country. I put down a deposit, so yāall better show up, dammit!

Thanks for thinking of me, **Ruffian**. You are pretty super. And not normal, not in the least. (I wouldnāt count on a normal person to supply me with cherries at all these dopefests. :))
I wonāt be able to make this trip. I am going up north for the weekend to celebrate my friendās birthday.
Itās too bad, too. I would love to see what this Farellās is all about. I love ice cream. Love love love it. The stories I hear about Farellās are very good. Have a sunday or three for me.

**TSK**. Well, _fine_ Patā¦just go on, go see your OTHER friends. I repeat, TSK! š
Meanwhile, I appear to have an allergy to DopeFests. I had bronchitis for the Great DopeToberFest, and am currently fighting off a brutal cold. BUT, I still intend to be thereāmy voice will just be extra husky.
See yāall tomorrow!

Well, day after tomorrow, but whatever.
God, I went in that place and it was just like I remember it. They even have the big olā bass drum to beat on when itās someoneās birthday. (It isnāt anyoneās birthday on Saturday, is it? That would be KEEN! š )
Very much looking forward to this. Did anybody come up with stuff to do beforehand? Afterwards, there are places we can all head out to as an after-party, but we can discuss on-site.

Kathy and I have been waiting for this! Weāll be down Friday night and spend the weekend in Sandy Eggo, first time since we got married last September that weāre getting a weekend away!
Thanks Esprix, Cowboy, and Scout for making this happen! Iām bringing the digital camera, so I can send pictures of the festivities to whomever wants them.
Just look for the tall goofy looking guy with the beard with the cute short blonde š
See you then!

Now now, letās give credit where credit is due. **Esprix** and **Scout** are the brains behind this here operation. Past the fact I used to live in San Diego and that I have no filter between my brain and my mouth, Iāve had nada to do with organizing this little shindig. Nothing. Zip. And I like it that way. š
Iām strictly here for the company, ice cream, yards of beer, and the [Lips](http://www.lipsrestaurant.com) Gospel Sunday Brunch.

Humble apologies to all concerned. The wife has bad asthma and her pulmonary specialist wrote in capital letters on her prescription sheet **Stay at home!** Sheās had it for several days now which is why I couldnāt commit definitively. I will not be joining you guys tomorrow, but have a good time.

**scout** has informed me that my proxy, the charming and shy **FairyChatMoose** arrived safely. Do me the honor of scribbling a greeting in her diary, so I can live vicariously thru her!!
Have a wonderful time and someone have something chocolate for me!

Confirmed the reservations today - WOO HOO!

Iām working on getting DeathLlama to go from āmaybeā to ādefinitely.ā
For now, weāre just a very strong maybe! š
(Oh, and at the last DopeFest I was told byāuhā¦purplebear, I think?āto not cover up as much. So all-_right!_ Maybe I can slut it up a littleā¦)

Ruffianās slutting it up? Iām sure thatāll change a few minds right there. š
Iām packing my bag as we type - which, incidently, is unrelated to Ruffianās level of sluttiness. In about 8 hours, thereās this pressurized metal tube that leaves Amsterdamā¦

Umā¦maybe weāre blind here, but I canāt find a start time for tomorrow night. Iāve seen the map and the address, but not a specific time.
Help!
(BTW, we may be a bit late. Weāre going to Santa Anita to watch a friendās horse race in a $200,000 stakeāpost time is around 4pm, which means weād be leaving around 5pm. That gets us in SD around 7pm.)

Aha! After many months of non-posting, my good friend **Darkscyde** may also be joining us! [sub](Mostly because he has nothing better to do and I twisted his arm, but hey, what are friends for?)[/sub]

Sooooā¦
Is anyone else coming whoās in the Ventura County Area?
Can we carpool? I mean, I like to drive and all but itās going to be a damn long and lonely drive otherwiseā¦
