ok, one spare cooler noted...you can bring be a piece of wood from Guam for the rent! *grin* (no, that is not a demand..I just troll and see what is possible)

well, as to planning, some of these folks have been coming for so many years and know the routines so well that we 'could' all just show up and have fun without detailed planning ....but Charlie Baum (currently) makes sure we & the camp know what to expect from each other, and Rita and her helper(s) figger out how to schedule things so NO ONE misses anything and EVERYONE gets their 15 minutes of fame..(yeah, right...enough talent and offers of ideas for 3 months worth of workshops... to fit into one weekend!)

as for Rita, she will be home tomorrow night from her trip and will be up to her neck in planning details of workshops for the next few weeks..(final schedule is always being tweaked until the last minute, but most workshop titles/themes get published and posted so that folks have a few weeks to think about it)

(boy, Rita is gonna shake her poor head when she tries to read all this stuff and sort it out...and she just beats me when the frustration level gets too high..*grin*)
