**Billdo,** I’m still an in. And I’m still coming in Thursday afternoon, and I’m still sleeping on your floor Thursday night. Right? Just wanted to let you know that since I’m coming in a day earlier than most, if there’s anything I can do to help get the brunch set up, or anything else you might need help with, let me know. I’m not real bright, but I usually take direction pretty well. 😃 ---

A promise is a promise. The hat’s yours. The only question is how long a feather you’d like in it. I’ve got ones ranging from 3 inches to 16 or so. Your call. And I’m looking forward to seeing the lace tank top and miniskirt (yes, I know you’re spoken for, but I can look, can’t I?). ;)😃 ---

And I just realized this morning that I won’t be able to attend any bar events. This is really going to piss me off, because I live in a city where a) the drinking age is 18 and b) I’ve been carded twice here, total, including when I went to bars when I was underage. Ah well, can we under-21s arrange some other cool activities for… (looks up at the itinerary) … Friday night if the main Dopefest ends up in a bar? ---

Please pencil in the Tee family (Ceejaytee, Mr.Tee and BabyTee). After missing the NJ OctDoperFest due to BabyTee’s ear infection, we’d really like to attend some of the festivities. And Billdo–it was nice meeting you on Saturday! Thanks for helping Green Bean try to get BabyTee to smile for his picture. ---

The fantastic Korean place is called Kum Gang San, on 32nd between Broadway and 5th. There is, apparently, a superior Kum Gang San out in Flushing, but I doubt many people would want to make the trip. ---

Oh thank goodness, I thought I was going to be the only one missing out on the bar if they happen to be carding Friday night. **'Punha** said there was a possibility of getting in early in the day when they’re not carding but staying in the same place all day? Yuck, no thank you. I’m up for anything the under-21s can set up. ---

Oops. Did I say Friday for Korean? I of course meant Thursday night. And I’d like to add a “me too” to **Persephone** ’s offer to help wherever needed, since I’ll be arriving early too. ---
