By the way, how do I find which congregation of patrons is the Houston DopeFest? Should I go around from table to table giving a code sign? If so, what is the code sign? Is it “The raven crows at midnight?” or “The Illuminati Invade the Clique?” I don’t want to sit down at the wrong table and be stuck spending my afternoon with the west Houston chapter of the Freedom’s Wings Militia. ---

We’re all going to wear funny hats. No, really, I’ll do what’s worked in the past. I’ll make a little sign we can put on the table that says “SDMB.” Yes, people misread it - yes, there are some “alternative” folk afoot in the bars and restaurants of Houston. ---

And yes, I _so_ enjoy being the first one there, with the table sign. “So, uh, you a Master?” :eek: ---

I thought this was supposed be a… oh did I sign up for the wrong sort of gathering? Well I guess I’ll still be there since I’ve cleared my schedule for that day. Hey **jin** bring the riding crop and I’ll buy you a drink too! 😛 ---

For the record, Aaron’s birthday is August 1st. Yes, I am planning to leave relatively cool Pennsylvania for the heat, humidity and smog of San Antonio. I don’t know why. BTW, my mother sent a cute Rockets sleeper. He was made there, y’know. 😉 Robin ---

You and your assumptions! I am waving around my riding crop right now, and still fail to see a bottle of vodka materialize anywhere. Hmph. Next thing you know, you’ll be telling me I can’t leave ten minutes before I’m supposed to be there. ---

What is it supposed be some kind of magical riding crop? Smack the genie on the bum with it and _poof_ you get free booze? You get a free drink at Joe’s when I see the riding crop, not when you’re just waving it around your room/ No, the way you drive, I think ten minutes should be plenty of time to get there 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-gotta-a-little-thing-we-do-down-here-in-houston-texas/168272.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-gotta-a-little-thing-we-do-down-here-in-houston-texas/168272.md?page=5)
