It looks like I will be unable to attend this fine party. The fast ferry is in trouble, Little Sister is holding on to her car, and the topper, work just changed the schedule at the last minute. Change orented is one of the seven key attrebutes of an Advance Auto Parts employe. Spelling is not on the list. Eats\_crayons is going to dance nacked and I will miss it. Damn. Someone please take photos. Dope fests are fun. Lets keep having them. ---

If there’s one in the summer, I am definately there. Eventually I will find my way to one of these. For those of you going, have a great day and I hope the weather turns out well. The weather in Windsor right now is awful, if that’s any indication of what’s coming your way. Wet, cold and dreary… ---

Okay! I’ve made a reservation at the Lone Star for 5PM. I asked for twelve, but said that there would be some uncertainty as to the number, and they said that that would be okay. Separate checks too. Ask for ‘Cecil Adams’. 🙂 [sub]Incredibly, I think that’s the forst time I’ve ever done that…[/sub] ---

> [@Maastricht](#): > > So ??? > > (I really need a nosey smiley) Whaddaya mean, “so???” It’s a week later, you haven’t heard from us because we’re all still hungover. Duh! Then there was that ugly brawl (chairs thrown, riot police, tear gas), that unfortunate group streaking incident at Skydome, I’m pretty sure a Doper mooned Queens Park, and I found dinosaur bones from the ROM in my living room… Oh, and we’ve renamed Nathan Phillips Square as “Cecil Adams Square”. The city doesn’t know it yet, but they _will_. _cue ominous chord_ ---

I mean, there is a lot that way. Could have been mooning the college of divinity, too. Or Sudbury. > [@](#): > > and I found dinosaur bones from the ROM in my living room… I spoke with the curator, and those are just casts, not actual bones, as such. > [@](#): > > Oh, and we’ve renamed Nathan Phillips Square as “Cecil Adams Square”. The city doesn’t know it yet, but they _will_. _cue ominous chord_ We did get many of the people there to agree with us, provided we agreed to stop stamping the ones who didn’t with a big “BANNED” stamp. Where the hell did you get that thing, anyway? See, it wasn’t nearly as exciting as you made it out to be. ---

What streaking incident? There was no streaking incident. No-one we know saw a streaking incident. And the dinosaur bones were fakes. Honest. **Maastricht** , if we can ever all agree on a coherent and, er, ‘legal’ account of whatever went on, we’ll update you… 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trannadope/271617.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trannadope/271617.md?page=8)
