Tales of ChiDope Debauchery : The Official Wrap-Up Thread

Oh GOOD LORD! I’m just a little flustered because I don’t know what to say other than thank you and no you aren’t a troll, although comments like those will get you spanked at the next fest. dropzone, you’re the best, and I’m very flattered. See? I knew that if I did a shout-out list I’d piss somebody off, and here I go, pissing people off…but I love ya, dropzone. Marry me.

Nymysys, you are no good, but hot as hell.

lno, you are incredibly cute. That’s what I was trying to say. This is me, flirting. And it’s shameful. I know it. I’ll stop.

For god’s sake, people, it’s Mrs. Cynical, not Mr. Creant!
Gaaaaaah! You’d think that I was HER bitch or something!

You mean you aren’t? :wink:

Keep up the good work! And thanks for the info…I’ll send her roses or something. She deserves them.

::giggle:: you say the SWEETEST things! [sub]I think…hmmm…airs?[/sub]

Okay…

I’m trying to be patient and understanding and all that rubbish…

SOMEONE BETTER HAVE A PICTURE OF THIS!!!

She kisses better than you. :wink:

As in flustered, a bit hot and bothered, etc. Good thing.

[sub]Horny was too filthy a word to use. Can’t use it with Eve, either.[/sub]

No.[sub]1[/sub] You can’t switch my love off and on like that.[sub]2[/sub] I have feelings, you know.[sub]3[/sub]
1 - Read that “no” as an unqualified “yes” except for my obvious disqualifications, like how I’m already married and how you stomp all over Sua Sponte’s “Seven Year Rule” that I accepted as reasonable Saturday night, much to my later chagrin.

2 - Actually, it happens all the time. I can’t imagine why you’d be an exception.

3 - No, not really, but it sounds good.

I can’t imagine it. Her adopting a hurt, disappointed tone is all I can imagine and that would be too sad to actually want to hear.

WELL…that is the first full body blush I have had in a LONG time! Thanks, honeylove!

And THAT is quite a compliment! You are a dollface!

I can’t even remotely think of any situation where you are likely to hear it, my dear friend.

I am just sorry that I was unable to make it to ChiDope so I could hug you two MILLIONS of times in person. As well as several other people I am also dying to meet. Next time for SURE!

Much Love,

Cheri:)

So where’s the rest of the hundreds of pictures that were taken? I want to see what I missed! Hell, I want to see the stuff I didn’t miss, too.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Am i the only one who has trouble explaining Dopefests to friends and family? I had such a good time and liked everybody so much that I’ve babbled about it to a couple of friends, and to my brother. Explaining the SD and the SDMB is one thing; but the looks I get when I explain that 70 or more of us would want to get together and violate laws of man and nature for a weekend, well, it’s just priceless. I think my family suspects I’ve joined a cult.

Of course, they’re probably right.

Joey Hemlock as Jim Jones? I can believe it.

You are not alone.

think and I tried to explain to the ladies who lifted our kilts who we were without using “chat room”, Message Board", or “internet”.

Oh lord.

The weekend was a blast… I just have some holes in it…

I’m trying to figure out how much alcohol I drank :smiley: Well, for those of you who have ever wondered, and saw me drinking, now you know where some of the crazy ass shit comes from!

Friday, I got to sleep in :slight_smile: mmm So I was nice and rested.

I swung over to the Embassy Suit’s bar (Yummy YUMMY YUMMY Mai Tais!!!) And hung out with Jane, Wisest and all those other good people!

I remember the waitress thinking I hadn’t recieved my drink when I already had one and she started to take it back :frowning: Which is a bad thing. So I took that and drank it too. That was the start of the trend for the weekend! After a lot more drinking, people left :frowning: So Jane and I decided to grab some pizza. There we met Joyimbo Guy! And we had a GREAT dinner eating pizza, drinking and talking!

Hope I didn’t scare too many people with that :slight_smile:

I wasn’t a big fan of that bar we went to… I’m not into the crowed bar scene, but I just around and got to laugh at the fun stuff everyone was doing! And I drank a lot there too.

I vaguely remembering walked out to the El to get to the aqua-fun thing (I was still drunk I belive). By the time Chique and I got there, there was a line that rivaled the line of Frenchmen waiting for the only bidet in hell!
So we went to the Field thingy (CHOCOLATE!)

The chocolate exhibit was cool.

We also saw the egypt exhibit. I got to listen to some asshole explain to his son (little tyke) that the egyptians were Pagans!
<GGGGGGRRRRRRRR expect pitage on this soon>
We had lunch at the cool greasy spoon (with a liquor license and I started drinking!). Thrusday… I forgot to mention what I saw thrusday.

A TRADER VIC’S! Oh my god, I ALMOST creamed myself when I found out that there was one in Chi!

It was my hajj! So yummy, their Mai Tai’s… I’d sleep with both of the bartenders for the recipe! (Yes they were guys… but those mai tais are worth it!) Thankfully I wouldn’t have to worry about them accepting, even if I did offer!

SO around 5:30 or so Chique and I hit the bar, and I started drinking. And drinking a lot.

My bill for that was just over 100. That’s not including food, or tip!

I met a lot of cool people and I think I scared some people with my alcohol consumption:/ But I’ve just gotta point out, if you’re in a bar and its getting busy, you gotta order a drink each time the waitress comes by!

I spoke with her later, when I was paying the bill. Apparently I dissappointed people :frowning: Was there some sort of betting pool on my throwing up? Bah, BAH I SAY!
I REALLY liked the old guy in the men’s room giving out towels. He was a hoot. I was also so drunk I could barely see, but oh well :slight_smile:

I vaguely remember playing trivia. And I also spent a very long time speaking with a parent of a child who was interested in my college. Whoever you were, Carelton student’d don’t all drink as much as I do. Just my friends!
I remember chique acting silly and talking with every single person waiting for the El that night!
:eek:
But we survived it! Or at least I think I did. I woke up when the alarm clock went off for the brunch, but I wasn’t about to wake up. I’m getting old, I may be able to drink with the rest of them, but two nights of me being up to around 5 am and I’m beat.
After Chique took off I had this amaizing nose bleed!

I have a shirt that’s got way too much blood on it for my comfort in my luggage… Am I missing something? I’m guessing whatever happened was during the 15 min when I was figuring out a way to get water w/o standing up.

Anyhoo, I spent the day resting and then flew back today.

I had a great time (and yes, I’m usually that quiet, I started talking more when I was drunk).

And guess what :slight_smile: No hang over!
BTW Yojimbo Guy’s car rocks!

Now that I am over 300 miles away from both of them, I can admit that I found lno and typo mna so attractive I had a hard time talking to them. It was all I could do not to run off into a corner and have a screaming fit of giggles every time I got the guts to make lame half-garbled attempts at witty commentary with either one of them.

I hope this now embarrasses them as much as it embarrassed me at the time.

First of all, to Jane D’oh! for the room. And to Persephone for paying for it. And for everything else.

To Tattva, for never once punching me in the throat. Even though I deserved it.

To Wisest Novel, for just being you. Though I’d never seen you until right before ChiDope, I’m glad to call you “friend.”

To JoeyHemlock, for actually remembering me. And for not questioning when I would just arbitralilly set drinks in front of him.

To Gundy, for being so drop-dead gorgeous that I was afraid to introduce myself. Day-um! I’d give up flirting altogether with everyone for you. And I mean that. You and I are more alike than I think either of us realize. But in a good way. I was serious about the proposal, too. Just say the word, and I’m on my way.

To Krusty Klown, for not killing me for saying that. And for not beating the shit out of me for trying to steal Gundy.

To Euty, for redeeming my ego. I knew I’d strike out with all the girls. I never figured all the guys, too.

To Kyla, for being 10 pounds of sexy and fun and cute and everything in a five-pound bag.

To Ed Zotti, for not banning me for grabbing his crotch.

To Sua Sponte, for willing vix to me when he dies. And for starting the pot for grabbing Ed’s crotch. I assume the check’s in the mail. :slight_smile:

To thinksnow, for the ride home after I had the train ride from hell[sup]tm[/sup].

To jarbaby, for acting like she recognized me, and by always hugging me and saying “it’s good to see you.” And for agreeing to read my screenplay. And for just being her.

To Tequila Mockingbird, for paying me the best compliment I could ever hope for: “You’re not half the asshole you are on the boards.” I’d like to use that as my new sig.

To Sophie. For being herself. I’d tell you I love you, but I’d have to wait in line behind the rest of your worshippers.

To porcupine for organizing this whole shindig.

To UncleBeer and Manhattan for paying for it. And for treating me like a human being instead of the asshole I am on here.

To Rue DeDay , for not making it, making me one of the funniest people there. I always feel inferior at these things.

To Pucette, for showing up. You’re always so amazing to look at.

To typo mna, for being such a good sport at my ribbing you for forgetting where you parked the van.

To everyone I missed, it wasn’t because I don’t remember you. It’s because my mind’s a jumble right now. Once I sleep, I’ll have my thoughts clear. Know that I enjoyed your company, and that I’m glad to consider you friends, even if I’ve only met you in person a time or two.

Thanks to everyone who showed me a great time. Not by any means an exclusive list but here goes:

UncleBeer, you are a nice guy and a true gentleman; one of the few I consider to be worthy of my old friend Porcupine . Porc, give me a call as soon as you are feeling better.

WisestNovel You are smart and nice even if you think I am a troll.

Jadis I’m glad I drove you home even though you don’t remember my screen name. It was very nice to meet you.

YoJimboGuy I am glad that someone else was old enough to remember how to really hate Nixon with a passion.

Eutychus One thing you have learned about me is that it’s a good idea not to ask me a question unless you are prepared for the answer. No more details in the post.:smiley:

ValerieBlaise I liked you as soon as you offered to beat up my ex husband.

Ed Zotti thank you for showing up. It was a pleasure meeting you.

Glad to hear that everyone had a safe trip back.

Was I THAT blitzed?

I have pictures!

No you can’t see them. Not unless you come to my apartment or I find a scanner in one of the school libraries.

OK, fine, I’ll look for one tonight.
