C’mon, people!
Thanks for the link porcupine. Count me in. I will firm up my travel and hotel plans tomorrow probably. And, if we need an A to A game, I got one and it’s easy enough to bring it along. just let me know.
Looking forward to seeing you guys there!!!
Yes, please!
I still haven’t had the chance to buy a replacement for the one I left at the 'rents house.
Tibs, I would love to come to your place! Count me in.
So is this going to be The Quiet Spiffled? 
What’s the timing on everything? I won’t be getting there until fairly late in the day Saturday.
Yes, I expect so.
Of course, I could restore things to their accustomed state of exuberance by not showing…
I am sorry I can’t come- car got totalled, gee it sounded like fun too, next time perhaps 
<bump>
One week to go!
So I have a question. Where is the actual Dopefest? That is, if I drive up to Springfield to drop in for an hour or so, where would I go?
Legomancer, Gundy, you expect things to actually be determined in advance?
Hey Tibs, are ya done researching bars and horseshoes for us yet?
Oh JEEZE. I haven’t been getting notices that there were posts here! I was wondering what the hell you guys were doing. 
If you are all up for an early dinner on Saturday so that we can hit the bars all night long…then D’arcy’s has opened its doors to us despite their no reservation rule. If not, then there are other places to go without any problem. Bars - we got that covered easily. A few good Irish pubs, etc. Brew Haus, Marly’s, we have a decent martini bar - we’re covered there.
Fair warning to all who see my place: It vaguely resembles (i.e. Looks just like) I’m still in college.
And no one can have sex on my bed (except me) simply cause the closet that spans the side of the room is all mirrored. (COOL EFFECT.)
Whee!
Tibs.
No sex on your bed? Why should I even bother coming then?
porcupine, you are of course correct. I have no idea what I was thinking!
Legomancer, drop me an e-mail and I’ll send you my cell phone number. It’s the surefire way to reach me. I’ll let you know where we are.
Tibs.
p.s. Anyone else who will need to contact me upon arriving, drop me an e-mail at: TibsTanglewood@aol.com and I will give you my cell number.
T.
Ooh, D’arcy’s. I’m in. Like what time are we talking here?
Well, Hallie (owner) said that she couldn’t promise us much after 5 but if we felt like coming in for an early dinner, 4 would be perfect. Up to the clan. But, Tygre, isn’t the horseshoe at D’arcy’s really the way to go? I mean, if you’re going to polish off your heart, that’s the way to do it.
Tibs.
Well, I’ll lay off the leftover candy so I can save up all my fat grams for a horseshoe at D’Arcy’s!!
For the uninitiated, a horseshoe is an open-face sandwich surrounded by fries, with cheese sauce over it all. About, oh, a gazillion calories but soooo good. It’s the official Spiffeld food!
4-ish works for me btw as far as time goes but I am flexible that day!
I promised some swing dance lessons so all in favor of dancing off their horseshoe, lemme know.
Tibs.
p.s. Gundy, My swing lessons are reason enough to come! Double entendre intended. Whee!
I wanna to be a late addition to the party. Assuming dancing is not a requirement.
I’m gonna drive down from Madison Saturday, drive back late Sunday afternoon.
Anybody from Rockford/Chicago need a ride? Porcupine, Gundy, Jane? Anybody? Jane can testify I have a cool car!
Oh yeah, Tibs. Is there a room discount? Is it too late to get in on it?
