Andygirl if you and quietgirl can get down to Lakewood NJ or any bus station between me and the Chance’s I would be happy to give the two of you a lift. ---

It would be an up for us, Manny- we’d be coming from Southern DE. Thanks for the offer, though. 🙂 ---

Delaware’s a small state somewhere in the East. Somewhere between Bulgaria and Liechtenstein, I think. 😉 ---

Yup, still on, and the SO is looking forward to it. He’s asking me if he can bring a friend of his. I grumbled about non-Dopers at a Doper party, but the reality is that I may have tagalongs. We need directions though. Badly. And I’m bummed about not getting to spend time with samclem. (Who I didn’t get mixed up with the kilt wearing guy.) ---

One short clarification for those who came in late… This is a party…not a dopefest. (Ask 'pun about that!) I invite Dopers, work pals, school pals, folks from Baby Kate’s daycare, random people off the street, you name it…I invite them. So no worries about bringing non-Dopers to the fun! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jonathan Chance \* > This is a party…not a dopefest. So the “Mountain Dope” moniker refers to the local produce? Area residents? The guests? The host? 😃 Help me out here. That reminds me, we really need T-Shirts for these things. “This is your brain on Mountain Dope” (or ChiDope, or BamaDope, or whatever) would work. Now all we need is some artwork. ---

“This is a party…not a dopefest. (Ask 'pun about that!)” Why, **Jonathan** , whatever do you mean?::bats eyes prettily:: Note for folks who haven’t been to one of Jonathan’s parties: a good third of the people there (maybe less, maybe more!) will look at you funny if you say “Are you a doper?” Well, maybe fewer. I think they’ve gotten used to us (and it) by now. Seriously, though. Some of the folks there might not even know who Cecil is:eek: [upon preview: “That reminds me, we really need T-Shirts for these things. “This is your brain on Mountain Dope” (or ChiDope, or BamaDope, or whatever) would work. Now all we need is some artwork.” Well, is there still that funked-up picture of what they did to **John Corrado** when he fell asleep at a fest? Something about makeup, a goat, and some sporks, IIRC…] ---

The T-Shirt idea is brilliant. Maybe I can call in some favors… And 'pun… It’s more like 25% Dopers to 75% Non. You guys just make more than your fair share of noise… ---

Usually it breaks up around 2AM or so. Call it about 12 hours of party. ---

**andy** , I have a tent you can borrow if you wanna camp in JC’s yard. It’s a “two-person” tent, which as we all know, means two VERY friendly people, which I believe describes you and your sweetie. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by iampunha \* > **Two-person tents can fit three…** Yeah, if stacked vertically. And I once had an REI ‘two-person’ tent where even _that_ wouldn’t have sufficed. OTOH, I could probly lend **andygirl** and **quietgirl** a ‘four-man’ tent that can fit three in a pinch. Then they can decide whether it’s a pinch. 😉 ---
