With less than two weeks to go, I thought we needed a bump. Time for people to be checking in.
Having seen High Fidelity, I now have some idea who Tenacious D is. I’m assuming their new material is more “Sonic Death Monkey” than “Barry Jive” however.
See you on Page 3.
Oops. Miscounted. I guess it should have been “Welcome to Page 3.”
I would still ove to go (put me as a non-Tenacious D goer,) but as stated I will need a way to get up there, most likely.
I will ask around, see if anyone wants to drive me up, or loan me a car.
Yo, I am in Middlebury, Vermont going to college and would like to hit a Dopefest if possible. I almost got to go to one back in Indiana but that ending up going to hell. I don’t have a car (or a licence) but Middlebury isn’t that far from Burlington, and if someone could pick me up I would be eternally grateful.

As a nude oper, I mean new Doper, I’d love to crash this little partay. I currently reside in Hinesburg, very near to Burlington.
I would ALSO love to see Jack Black and Kyle Gass the night before, but alas it is too late to buy a ticket.
Anyone with an extra, I’d be happy to buy it and/or accompany you.
To the Middlebury person above, I may be able to help out. Must hire babysitting first.
I have some money (although broke is obviously a primary feature of a college student) and will be will to chip in for your gas/babysitter. You kick ass.
–John
(Clarification: I do realize you said you only might be able to help. Anyone who even thnks about helping me kicks ass.)
I might have flirted my way into a ticket with this hellacute guy at the video store I work at tonight, but that is pretty tenative. First he offers to sell me 2 for $200. Then, after I bat my eyes, and throw him a few softball witticisms, he says “Well, if I see you there, and still have tickets, I’ll take care of you.”
So I might be there. I might also be standing outside in hooch boots and a somber expression.
Well, it seems unlikely that I will be able to get up there on my own. If anyone that is going is passing through, or near, the Albany area I would be VERY happy if they were able to give me a lift.
(basically, if you are going to travel on Interstate 90 or 87, you are close to me.)
(Of course, I’ll pitch in gas money if you had to go out of your way, I mean, I’m not a chump or anything.)
(A cool little tidbit: if bourbonstew picks up Yue Han in Middlebury, you will almost certainly pass through my hometown (Bristol.) Too bad I won’t be there.)
Yue Han -
don’t need money, just need to assure myself of competent babysitting that night. If so, I’ll pick you up. You can get the first round (unless you’re too young, in which case I’ll do the actual purchasing).
Yes, I’d probably go through Bristol… quickly!
Good lord Swiddles! What is it you’re packing there and how do I get some? I can’t even flirt a pack of matches out of the 7-11 clerk. Howz’about we go as lesbo lovers. Would that get a ticket for Wonko?
SpecialKay- Errrm…
Do I have to be gay or anything? I don’t think I would be too convincing.
You would not be convincing at all, this is true. I’ve seen what Swiddles looks like, so I know I would.
Are you implying something about Bristol?
He’s a fool if he doesn’t save a ticket for you.
I can’t decide whether this is meant as a compliment or not. I’m a little sensitive because I found out this friend of mine, who had a thing for me admitted to “always falling for girls who look like lesbians.” Not that I’m dissing the sistaz or anything, I also wouldn’t want to be accused of looking like a sparrow, because…well, I’m not.
Anyhoo, if anyone wants to sit outside Higher Ground (it used to be a Denny’s!!!) and flirt with ticket scalpers, come on down.
Knowing Special_Kay, I would take it as a compliment. I don’t think you have any kind of “look” other than you being an attractive woman, and being an interesting one at that. Don’t fret.
Hooch boots?
Just a joke bouv
Actually I like Bristol. Nice bookstore, bakery, little park in the middle of town…
I do hear sketchy things about the people from residents thereabouts (Lincoln, E.Middlebury, etc.) but nothing bad in my experience.
Looks like Tenacious D is a definite out for me. Life has demonstrated that not only would I fail to flirt myself free tickets, I’d probably be unable to flirt my way to companionship even if I was offering the use of tickets I’d already purchased.
