Thread Name: Can't make Getaway this year now ;-(
Subject: RE: Can't make Getaway this year now ;-(
I agree with Ferrara - last year's Getaway was so marvelous, and this year it's almost like there's some kind of Getaway boycott underway.   Why? I don't know if it has to do with the fact that the camp is alcohol free this year. That will not deter me, I come for the music and the companionship and am not bothered about having alcohol or not. I wouldn't have thought it was that much of a factor in the equation. The cameraderie at last year's Getaway was phenomenal, and I don't think it was entirely or even mostly due to the fact that alcohol was available. I feel very bad for the folks at FSGW who have worked hard to find a place to accomodate everyone, even those who have trouble getting around, which has comfortable accomodations, and is still affordable, and on top of that they are offering scholarships to people who can't manage on their own.
