I’ll see you guys at the top of the escalator. I have long brown hair that’ll be in two braids. And I just might be wearing some wings! ---

I am not familiar with the BART stop, so I think I’d rather just show up at the restaurant. ---

Word. I’m heading out for the afternoon so this is last confirmation for me. I’ll be at the top of the main escalator, outside of WaMu, chilling out at 7 pm tonight. My name’s Alex (or White Lightning as you prefer), and oh, I guess it’s getting warm again, so I’ll wear my bright orange and green Hawaiian shirt. I’m expecting to see **mlerose** (long brown braids), **Stuffy** (dockers on his goatee), **Great Dave** (tall Elvis glasses), and **voguevixen** (leopard print, big head). See y’all. ---

Fondue Fred’s? Cheap jug wine? Cheesecake for dessert, just in case you haven’t had enough dairy already? Wow. It’s been a while. I’ll be there, at the restaurant, if I can find parking within a few blocks. ---

A reminder to those of you who attended their first Dopefest last night: Be sure to use your newfound powers for good, never for evil. ---

I have imported the pictures into my computer. **Dave** and **Vixen** look particularly snappy in their poses. Sadly, **White Lightning** and **slackergirl** won’t be represented because their pictures were blurry. Shoulda used the flash from the get-go. ---

Hey, I had a great time, guys…and thanks for not looking at me all funny when I wore my wings. A girl’s gotta wear her new wings sometimes. New powers, new wings, all-you-can-eat cheesecake…who could ask for anything more? ;j (had to use my favorite smiley) more lactose intolerant than I thought, mle ---

Sorry I didn’t make it guys. The Boys grandmother took them for the weekend so we had some much needed er quality time alone. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did though. ---
