I'm scared too. It's like finding out I got into a special summer camp that I really wanted to go to, but now the thought of packing, and strangers, and seminars including rafting and recreational drugs and whatnot is really scary.
I just want to make sure that everyone who expects to see any nude or semi-nude body parts out of me knows that (a) I am 40 and (b) I do not go to the gym. BODY BY CUPCAKES, baby!

I demand lots of pictures. And, if possible, a dramatic and monumental jrossi shoutout. Maybe with a human pyramid or spray painted on a cop car or or tattooed on a tallywacker or something.
I am taking a page from Matildaben's book. The book called "Managing Expectations".
My page says I am:
-nowhere near as cute as MeCha collectively seems to think
-less interesting out loud than in writing. Most of what you're getting here is a spillover of my internal monologue, and I usually don't talk this much.
-likely to get drunk but not naked. Except maybe for skinny-dipping in the ol' swimmin' hole with the rope swing. Any other naked circumstances are so rare as to as not to be worth planning on, and which, in any case, would not be witnessed by anyone not directly involved.
Nope -- if I make it to Asheville, it will be as simple, goofy, unadorned, basic me, hoping I'm not a letdown, excited to meet some friends I have never yet seen, possibly with a bottle of Dom Perignon in hand, and ready for a relaxing weekend. Do you have a fire-pit in your backyard, mgl?
"Gargamel," Hugh? Maybe jonmc spiked the punch a little too early.
You know, those other beer garden photos; there's a second shoutout I made that never seems to have found the light of day. Not the "PURE EVIL" one. I made an alternate one especially for everyone here.
Yea, a few of the shoutouts and pictures disappeared- I e-mailed icosahedral about it, but he never responded (I think he's swamped at work). I imagine that they're truly gone- he doesn't really know how to use that camera, bwa ha ha.
Bunnystock Shoutout. Not to put pressure on anybody to showget nekkid or anything ...
I hope the odd fears and body issues which have risen in this thread are not just because the carrot is ejaculating. I didn't mean to put anyone ill at ease and I don't expect any hippity hoppity to be happening.
Maybe some smores, though. The hot springs sounds nice too. Some laughing gas perhaps. A cognac and conversation. Forgive me, I'm stoned.
