Regretfully, I shall not attend. I know, I know! But you’ll all see me soon enough. However, I won’t have someone to watch the little tyke on Saturday night and so the heavy burden of fatherhood falls upon me. I’d bitch more about it, but this is what I asked for when I signed the custody papers 😉 ---

Don’t feel bad. I’d gladly pass up a Dopefest to spend time with my kids. (sorry guys) They are only little once. Enjoy it while you can. “He’s not heavy father, he’s my son!!” ---

Is anyone going to commit to noodling with me? I don’t want to show up at 6 and have to noodle myself for a whole hour. Not that it would be the first time… ---

porcupine, we might noodle with you, but the posse will be out and about all day, and I don’t think we can promise to be gorgeous and present and hungry by six sharp. Reporting live from the 27-hours-and-counting-Dopefest in my house, m ---

D- Six hours and counting! Call me at 847-562-1100 I’m bored at work 😉 I didn’t get my house cleaned last night so no sleepovers, sorry! I read the McD’s thread and ate there for… research. Blechh!!

Well, in my grand tradition of putting everything off until the last possible moment, I guess I’ll show up. Which, of course, means I have to leave Springfield in like 45 minutes, so…yeah. I’ll be the big, geeky looking dude. 😉 ---

I’ll be there. Not sure what time, but I’ll stumble in eventually. Lord, I still haven’t recovered from my hangover from LAST night yet. Give a girl a break, will you? ::huddles in corner in the foetal position, cursing the day she met Andy:: ---

I’ll be there by 9, hopefully a little earlier. I would’ve been there on time, but Nymysys made me drink beer until it came out of my ears. Then my head hit the table. Game over.
