Give me directions, and I’ll see if I can get there. I live in the Detroit area of Mich…or if anyone from Mich is going, maybe I can hitch a ride. Please let me know ---

Well, **Porc** , as the saying goes: “After the spankings…” And I still have room available. ---

Well, my birthday _was_ earlier this month, **thinksnow** , and I didn’t get any spankings. Haven’t had the followup in quite a while, either. 😉 ---

If I do go, I’ll leave Mich at 230 am on Saturday, after I get off of work, and if my truck makes it, I should be there around 9 or 930 am on Saturday. Need to be able to find you guys, seeing the only one I know is Falcon, I would have no idea where you guys would be. Please keep me informed. ---

I want to come however… I have 2 kiddies, limited funds and no babysitter. Is anybody else bringing the kiddies? ---

**MissBHaven** , I’ve not been to Spiffled before, but my impression is that it’s worse (or better, depending on your POV) in terms of drunken debauchery than ChiDope. The 3 ChiDope gatherings I’ve attended have most certainly not been anything I would bring kids to. Use your own judgment, of course. ---

There will be debauchery on a Biblical scale. If not, we’ll import some. I need to warm up this weekend with some drinkin! ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by thinksnow \* > \*\* > Well, shoot! I was hoping for hedonistic debauchery._\* Actually, that sounds pretty good to me, as I prefer my debauching to be slightly buzzed but not drunken. I want to be able to remember it, after all. Do you want to be the debaucher or the debauchee? 😉 ---

As a Spiffled DopeFest virgin…I’m unsure of the equipment requirements. What should the well equipped doper bring to this event (besides bail money, natch)? 😉 ---

A nice friendly bump for anyone who might not know about this. So who’s joining me on Friday to start the debauchery? It’s not going to be particularly fun by myself. ---

um… Hi. My name’s Ender and I’m a dopeaholic. It’s been 24 days since my last dopefest. My first dopefest. My only dopefest. They said this one was free, they had me tell my friends. That this next one would cost me. Well it might. I have dreams of travelling 323 miles to Springfield IL to attend a dopefest this weekend. It will cost me time and money and blood and sweat and tears. But make it I might. I just have one question for the teaming hundreds: What the heck do I do?!? I’m as lost as Pat Buchanan at Lilith Fair, people. Can I get a little help? If I go, I’ll be driving, but I’ll need a place to stay. This Sleepy Inn place, how much are rooms (or what’s the number), what’s the schedule of events? How do I find you other dopers? Will the moderators wear hats? How about a little love people!
