Aaron sort of fell asleep in the car, then woke up, but he settled down pretty quickly. Anyone got any recipes for corn? Robin ---

Jayjay and I just got back a little bit ago. We had a blast too! It was really great seeing all of you again. I can’t wait to do this again next year. 😃 . Can’t wait to see the pictures too. ---

Verrain and I are home safe, having dropped Cleophus at his home safely on the way. Thanks everyone for a fantastic time. What a great way to spend our last weekend in PA! And danceswithcats… thank you. It was a truly wonderful surprise. ---

The gentleman and I got in around 11:30 last night. Thank you, all of you, for a wonderful time! CJ ---

We got home about 9:30 last night, but I had a little one to get to bed and a moody teenager who snapped up the 'puter immediately, having been away from it all day. When I got up at 6 this morning, I was sick, so didn’t get to post 'til now. It was a blast! Dave enjoyed himself a lot, too, and says thanks. Hope to see everyone again soon. ---

I had a great time chatting with Dave. He would be a welcome addition to the boards when he can get online again. ---

I think I got home around midnight. **Scuba Ben** dropped me at Conshehocken station just a few minutes before the last train pulled in. I was able to devise a quick and cheap way home. I had a great time. I meant to perform more tricks though. I learned many things about performing magic. It was wonderful meeting new people and chatting with everybody. This post is like an Oscar speech, I don’t want to leave anybody out. I want pictures posted already. I’m surprised that **Cleophus** didn’t do that on the ride home. ---

Forgotten from previous posts: in the left behind department, I have a plastic bag containing one change of attire for a little girl-light blue skirt/shorts, an embroidered white top, and a pair of knickers. Those of us who rolled up the sidewalk decided they likely belong to **mudgirl**. I can box and ship or hold 'til the next fest. Please claim. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-moment-all-you-mads-have-been-waiting-for-gettysdope-ii/300518.md?page=15)
