I will be there. I will be bringing Mrs Geek, the three Geeklings, and the usual assortment of burgers and hot dogs. I will be bringing kosher dogs, but no veggie burgers. If you want veggie burgers, bring your own, and maybe a couple of extra for the other folks that like them too.
By the way, if you are coming in from I-70 you probably already know this, but here’s the directions anyway just in case there are some newbies. Take the exit for 15 North and pay attention to the signs, because you have to take a couple of turns to stay on 15 North. Then follow the “From Washington” directions that Danceswithcats posted (skipping the bit about 270 of course).
Danceswithcats, are you bringing your grill again?
Okay, I know the date, the location, I have the means and no obligations to be elsewhere. So, I’m probably going to be there. I am not going to confirm, 'cause I don’t want to ruin the surprise. Maybe you’ll see me and maybe you won’t. Who knows? It is a mystery. =O

Corrections to the above, including updates on the size of your posse, and victuals being brought will be garnered from the thread, but if something is missed, holler.
For those who need directions, worry not. The directions page from last year will be posted when we draw closer to the event, and for anyone who would like to purchase something nearby, there are two markets available-one a few blocks, and another a few miles away.
My cell phone number will be provided to anyone who emails to request same: danceswithcats@att.net
Anyone who plans on staying over should make haste to book a room. Email the above addy if you’d like help with that-distance from event, and other good stuff.
Doc – I’m not sure I’m going to be able to give you and Cleophus a ride – pseudotriton ruber ruber will be riding with me, and as you know my car is tiny. Start working on Plan B – if necessary, you guys can squish in my back seat, but that’s not ideal for any of us.
I’ve got no car, no license to drive one, and no money.
Your backseat is my plan B.
Being slightly squished for two and a half hours? I can handle it. All it really means is that I won’t be able to bring some of the stuff I planned on.
Meros is coming? I’ll have to e-mail him. Road trips with Meros have the coolest soundtracks. EG “My Throat Is An Open Grave” a goth song reminding us that the world is entropic, all living things die, and that our only hope is Jesus.
I am still pretty sure we’re coming… me and the semi-new boyfriend, that is. We have a long drive, so we’ll bring something non-perishable, like beverages. Any other ideas?
I’d forgotten about this, and I hadn’t raised the subject with FCD - I’ll try to catch him during a vulnerable moment, since he still thinks most Dopers are weird… <snerk> Yeah, like that’s a news flash!
We do have some on-going projects so we’ll just have to see how it falls out. I’ll check back in on this thread eventually.
I don’t know if Meros even knows about it. What I’m trying to communicate is that it’s not my responsibility to get you there. There are Dopefests where it’s no biggie for me to give you a ride; this is not such an occasion.
