What caught my eye were some "dalmatian" bears. Too cute. White bears with dalmation spots. Next to the case was a whiteboard sign welcoming the new staff: Welcome to the Cheesecake Factory! Our 101st! Is that a good omen for LPers or what!

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Hmmm. Good point. We'll have to wear spots then and not just regular old black and white. So, what does one wear to a meet? How will I know its you guys? I guess I could just walk around shouting *GAYDSNYWITCH*. That'd turn some heads. HA!

Originally Posted By chickendumpling HA! And they call me chicken! Oh, come on. Say it. She can't really be that scary. Can she?
Originally Posted By wendebird I would NEVER say Lisann is scary. Just watch out if she goes all homegirl on you. Oh, make sure you ask her for her chalupa recipe. That will score you some good points!

Originally Posted By gaydsnywitch Chickendumpling, just look for the loudest craziest bunch and there's a very good chance that'll be us. Oh and don't forget to practice the pledge song.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 In all seriousness, yes, tapdancemom I am. I will not be plucking, or going homegirl, just coming up to join you all.
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter OMG. Run for your life, dumpling. That's what she always says right before she does something incredibly evil. She's trying to lull you into a false sense of security is all. But if you reeeeeeally want to go to the meet, there is still hope. When you're introduced to Lisann, just squeal, "Lisaaaaaaaa!" at the top of your lungs, fling yourself into her arms, and give her a big kiss. That, in addition to asking for her chalupa recipe, of course, ought to smooth the way for you immensely.

Let's move back along to logistics, who's coming, what time and all that other stuff.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Ok. Let me see if I've got this. (I'm big on lists.) Attire: something with spots (elastic waistband recommended) Pledge Song: Numa Numa. Right? Attitude: Fear masqueraded by overt friendliness. PDA's: Lots but only to Lisaaaaaaaaaa. Volume Control: none Method of Payment: GDW Gifts: rum for mele; frozen chalupas for lisann; pens for piperlynne; my best guesses for misscandice's SP. I'm still working on the other gift ideas. Did I forget anything? This is gonna be fun. I can't wait!
Originally Posted By JazzCat Don't forget the ears! GDW was correct when he said the loudest, craziest group would be us. The last Portland meet we were at I had not met DreamFairy previously, but when I saw her I just kind of "knew" it was her. No doubt we'll all be wearing Disney shirts of some sort!
