Not to be confused with “We no return you to your program already in progress.”

Sheesh. The sun was in my eyes!

It won’t be the first time you’ve been stalked - or didn’t you know? I suppose I should let you enjoy your bliss. Nevermind. 😛

Oh, I kid; I never stalked you. But be aware that if you don’t show up for this fest you can expect us to gossip about you. Turnabout is fair play. 😃

Cite?

You people keep doing these DopeFests in Maryland - close enough to tempt me, but far enough that it’s quite a chore to make it out there… Hmm… maybe Gettysdope II.

Sorry, but it’s sort of where I live. Perhaps you can throw one, and lure everyone out to WV.

'Get-tys-Dope! Get-tys-Dope! Get-tys-Dope!" (changed a la “Attica” in _Dog Day Afternoon_).

You should definitely come to that – a slew of Pittsburghers came last year, so it’s definitely doable.

And if not – well, **Anita Vacation** and I can hang out and gossip about you. 😉

You missed a really close fest when **Norinew** had the Fall Colors Fest in Cumberland.

Dammit! That should be “chanted,” not “changed.”

I’m not really host material. I’m more wallflower material.

I like flowers.

The date approaches. We need to figure who will bring what.

I’m planning on bringing a sugar-free (yet quite tasty) dessert that I like to make, and my family loves. It’s called Chocolate Fluff (or, alternately, West Virginia Mousse), and consists of sugar-free chocolate pudding with whipped cream folded in.

My buddy’s fiancée taught me how to make a truly awesome meatless 7-layer dip. We can bring that and whatever else you ask us to. 🙂

Okay, I lied. It’s not exactly seven layers, but what’s a layer or two among friends? 😃

Just wait awhile until everybody’s knocked back a few beers, and no one will be counting. 😉

I’ll bring some beer. I’m good at bringing beer.

Of course, this implies that I will be there. Turns out my sister’s graduation is just in the morning, so I have the whole afternoon free. I’m looking forward to this one.

It’ll be good to see you again, ultrafilter. I’ve seen you exactly once in about a year and a half.
