Wow! Mousethief! Amos! Jenellen! Amergin! Genie! Maybe Rangeroger! blt! This is gonna be one for the eternal annals of the Mudcat. Maybe Jen will do a tapestry depicting it, kinda like that Bayeaux deal, and we can hang it on the Tavern wall.

Mousethief:

Jen's home machine is having snits at the moment so she may not get this; if you'll give me your email address by PM I will forward what she sent out earlier to you.

OK?

Well, I'm bound for Oregon the next few weeks. The contractor I'm working for now has a job going in Salem. I will be flying out of Spokane headed for Portland on Monday AMs and returning on Thursday PMs.

I will know better what my actual working schedule will be and where I will be staying after next week. With the 4th holiday next week it could get real crazy as far as working hours so I don't think I'll be able to see anyone until the week after if at all possible.

I will keep you updated.

I can help out with carpooling on Saturday, and Sunday, in case anyone needs a ride.

Looks like I'll be making the following trips:

Ellensburg to Seattle at about 4:00 or 4:30 PM on Saturday, July 13.

Seattle to Ellensburg at about 8:15 PM on Saturday, July 13.

Ellensburg to Seattle [or to Portland, if I have a PDX rider] on Sunday, July 14 [schedule flexible].

If anyone would like to ride with me on one or more of those trips, please PM me.

See the Song Challenge! 84. The story is about a couple who live in Ellensburg (or just outside).

Jen, did they name the town after you, or vice versa?

And if any of you get real lucky, I do weddings...

LOL!! Actually, I'd like to add this benediction to my standard ceremony, if I can get permission: "Bless this couple in the name of Saint Shutyertrap, that she may intercede when they call her by Her Blessed Name...."

Which pope is in charge of licenses and royalties, then? Oh...all of them, eh? I see....hmmm. Maybe I better stick with the "if any man know good reason...speak now or forever hold his peace..." bit. I don't think anyone has trademarked it yet!!

I assume Jen has tacked down SaintShutyertrap.com, .net, .org, and .biz.... LOL!

I'm still listening to last year's tape. There were definitely children there. "ABCD" in multiple harmonies proves it. Have fun guys. Maybe next year as part of the Million Mudcat March.

OK, I got the message about kids being welcome but now I'm wondering how many priests will be there.

I mean you got everything else on the planet nicely arranged on JenEllen's patio, so as a grandmother, I'm a little hesitant to bring my very charming grandson, who, by the way, can look at any instrument and play it, when he's in the mood. Lately I've noticed that his tastes are wandering though--from Eileen Ivers to Rage Against the Machine.

On the other hand, maybe he'd fit right in.

It will be great to see you again, too, Amergin (I get so distracted by life I forget to check in here and see what's really going on)--if I go get my grandson, plus camping gear and guitar, I think I'll have to drive my own car. If not, it'll just be me and my stuff and carpooling might work. Do you still have room available in your car?

Now, Jen, just chill and go with the flow -- it'll all be over by the following Wednesday or Friday, luck willin' and the creek don't rise! 'Course if it does rise, it'll save a lot of traveling back for August except for the cousins, in-laws, neighbors, and such...

Well, folks, Amos and I spread the word about Mudcat and the PNW gathering when we were jamming with the San Diego Folksong Society folks last night.

click here for Amos's comments

While it's doubtful a bus will be charted from SD to Ellensburg, there actually was one of the SDFS women who is FROM Ellensburg and WILL be in Ellensburg that weekend. She has her own agenda for being there, so I doubt she'd have time to drop by even if she were [or becomes] a Mudcatter. I'm going to keep in touch with her, though, so who knows...?

Back to topic:

Those of you that are planning on camping out---remember to bring a flashlight! (keep in mind that this gem of wisdom did NOT come from very nearly killing myself on a walk to the lake last night...I'm just 'sayin')

I sent BLT a note, yes, kids are welcome. Lots of room to run and explore, and besides, we need someone around who'll keep us all in line.

kat: Plank? What plank?
