Heh. Don’t worry, **Zappo** , I’ll bring **Euty** in line. I’m sure I could blackmail him, too, if I tried… 😉 ---

Hm. I too will have plenty of time off beforehand, so I will be able to grow out my beard properly this year. Amazing what a Fest does topeople. We’ll all be hairy, fedora-wearing, beer-drinking hooligans. Yay! 😃 ---

Ok, so maybe I’ll be drinking the vodkas & cokes instead of the beers, but the rest of it is all true! ---

Vodka & Coke? Ewwwww. ---

Why on earth does everyone think there’s something WRONG with vodka and coke? It’s a very good mixture. I’ve been drinking it for years. Of course, I also won’t turn down a vodka SHOT, but I can’t do those all night, not if I want to make it back to the hotel room in one piece! ---

_ahem_ Enough about the vodka. A new miniskirt has been purchased. That is all. ---

I think that’s **Geobabe** ’s way of saying, “Nothing’s more important than my gams. Except maybe my boobs.” 😉 I’ve booked a room at the Red Roof, joining the throng staying there. ---

Well, there really _are_ few things more important than **Geobabe’s** gams and her boobs… unless, of course, it’s **Persephone’s** gams and boobs, and **pucette’s** gams and boobs, and **vix’s** gams and boobs and… you get the picture. 😃 **RT** , woo-hoo!!! The Red Roof crew ROCKS! ---

And the above wasn’t meant to say that all those things are _more_ important than **Geobabe’s** gams and boobs… they are _as_ important as **Geobabe’s** gams and boobs. They all give me even more reason to work on MY gams and boobs!
