Why is it every time I leave town someone hosts a NC Doper party? In March, I was in Hilton Head/Savannah. Now, on Father’s Day weekend, my dad & I will be at the US Open at Pebble Beach. How about if I just ship a full-size cardboard likeness to the bar? ---

…for Father’s Day at Pebble Beach with your father? Sheesh, see how you are? 😉 A cardboard cutout is an interesting idea, though. It might just work. Satan and Surgoshan were bandying the idea of wearing little gladiator outfits around, you’ll miss that. D Marie, you are more than welcome to stop by for a while if you can. Just come have lunch with us, then move your SO after you are all refreshed! ---

This was mentioned at the DC with Phil thing. I would like to go and Mark said he would as well. I will have to talk to him again and make sure. HUGS! Sqrl ---

the Ponchster and his gaggle of foxy disco momma’s can’t make it…gonna be at the beach, driving up to Delaware to hang with some of my DC pals for a week. I’m unsually in Raleigh about once a week…Ponch’s pad’s in Charlotte. On a side note…my fondest memory of Hayes Barton Grill, actually it was the pharmacy with a soda shop…I digress… anyway, pulling up, made a mad dash to one of the angled parking spots that had just become open…slammed my brakes just in time to avoid hitting the charicature of a man who was trying to cross the street. That is the story of how I almost ran over Jesse Helms. Enjoy. ---

Soooo close. Why did you stomp on your brakes. Ok, ok…I understand that you didn’t want to kill someone, but didn’t you wish that you hadn’t when you realized who it was? ---

Looks like potentially a bunch of us are headed down from DC, then. I’m going; weirddave may go but Tris is probably _not_ going; Sqrl and Mark possibly, and Phil and Leigh-Anne possibly. Should we start thinking about coordinating transportation? I’m driving down Friday evening, and headed back up in time for most of the DC get-together in Greenbelt. I’ve got a new car that’s roomy enough to be comfortable with 4 people. I’ve already looked into inexpensive motels in the Raleigh area, and am willing to share info with those who want it. I’m sending this out via email to those who list one; Sqrl, if you and Mark are interested, drop me a line - my email’s in my profile. ---

As much as I would love to attend, (I see how you all are. _ **I** _ plan a Doper meeting and four people show up (albeit, GOOD people), put Satan’s name on it and they come out of the #@%$&\*# woodwork…) my hubby and I will not be able to attend. It seems my father is throwing a suprise 40th birthday party for my mother on that very day! But hey, maybe I’ll plan another one and the three people who live in the area who don’t go to this one can show up! Bitter? Me? Never… ---

So is this shindig hap’nin’ after Aug. 18 or what? I return then, so give me the weekend (son, cheesesteak, baseball game) and I’m good to go anywhere in the mid-Atlantic region. Someone pop me an e-mail if it’s easier. ---

Wait a second, Evil One, there’s nothing tentative about my plans to come. After all, _you still owe me a dollar_, and I’m going to collect! 😃 Yup, the dollar from the long-ago “For David B…” thread. Besides which, SqrlCub and dcnewsman are planning to ride down with me, and they’re in the “Confirmed” category. Somehow that doesn’t work as well if I’m just ‘tentative’. Seeya in two weeks! ---

Satan I may bring my daughter. She doesn’t post to the board, but she reads the threads when she can and I try to keep her updated. She’s interested in meeting all of you, too. Oh and thanks for taking Bast off the list. I was starting to feel like I had multiple personalities.😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/satans-summer-shindig/18363.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/satans-summer-shindig/18363.md?page=4)
