Well, Pat, you see we stayed with H'fox on our recent trip to the old homeland, and she had these pliers.... and mentioned your love of the place.

If the dates can be worked out, I offered a week of respite care to Hardi's folks sometime this fall. Hardi's dad has been poorly for some time, which is why we have been going back and forth so often. Hardi's mom (who is caring for him beautifully) needs a chance to Go Far Away, so I had her train me in all her routines while we were there. So I thought a MudMeet I am NOT hosting might be a heck of a lot of fun, before or after that exercise, and all I know now is that it will be fall sometime, when I can fit it in around all this damn music-community-building I've been doing. Dang you, Pat, you ain't got here to our house YET, so since I can't make it as far as your place, to see your ugly mug, I thought maybe I could lure you to Dover!

If not this fall, then next summer, when Hardi and I make the trip again and stop at Dover on our way out, which would be early August.

I KNOW H'fox is in! She's the troublemaker who started this! *G*G* (I mean came up with the brilliant idea.) Snagging (hmm, possibly snogging, I owe him one) Big Mick would be a bonus. And where better than Warther's? That John Hardly fellow ought to be recruited as well, from the farside of Ohdiana. I understand he's about an hour off 80, so maybe he and his missus could cruise over as well. And Ms. HippieChick is not far from Chez Warther, either. She's been here housesitting-- blows a mean recorder, that girl, and tambourine? Shake it, baby!

Flatlanders Unite! Get a video crew, eh?
