Annap,

I'm a Motel 6 kinda guy myself. Seabright is famous for a particulat type of fishing boat. The Seabright Skiff. I don't suppose you have a spare? I owned one years ago and would like another.

New Jersey, ist it true that New Jersey is the only parking lot so far to gain statehood :-))) ?

We have a small motel right on the strip near my house that charges too much in the summer, but in the winter they're a lot more reasonable. I am hoping to get a group deal from them, but first I need to get an idea how many are coming. I'll let you all know the details when I get them. It shouldn't cost much in the winter.

Thanks Susan. That's really nice of you to offer. It'll make it easier to have more people.

Love annap

Actually it IS a holiday weekend, for those who get Martin Luther King Day off on Monday. If too many people want to stay at Annap's, I may be able to provide additional crashing space. I am an hour away. My house is bigger than Annap's, but not nearly as well located. Preferably for people I have met... we can work it out later.

Annap,

Do we get to pick who we're stacked near?

Can I be next to that huggable Westra gal?

Where the Shrewsbury runs down to the star-lit Sea Bright bar,
There lives a lady, Annap is her name.
The matron of fine music, folk come from near and far
To celebrate in song at this lovely house of fame.

The water it shone brightly on that lovely July day
When the first big bunch of Mudcatters did gather there they say.
They talked and laughed and sang until they just could sing no more.
Then they gathered up their things and headed homeward from that shore.

Could someone put line breaks in the above verse. Please add to it. It will be our January song. [done, S of DT]

I'll do everything I can to make it. Any 'catters twix OK and NJ who care to put up a lonesome traveler & his guitar on pilgrimage to the gazebo on the river?

Hi Pete, Everyones invited. I live in Sea Bright, New Jersey. Sea Bright is a little peninsula between a river and The Atlantic Ocean. There is about 1/4 mile between the two. I live right on The Shrewsbury River at the foot of The Navasink River and across the street from the ocean. Search the forum for other threads about our gatherings under annap since June.

Max, I hope it doesn't snow! and kayaking is at your own risk, but I wouldn't recommend it. That water gets pretty cold in the winter.

Moonchild, we'll make it a holiday! EZR, you know you and your wife are welcome.

I wonder how deep you can stack people before it gets uncomfortable.

James, my son, should be at school (Culinary Institute of America) in Jan. so we can use his room upstairs. Just bring a lotta warm stuff for bed.

I think this is going to be goooood!

Love, annap

As one who never passes up the chance to celebrate a holiday ... or anything to which the word "copious" is attached ... moonchild

Yes, folks have been gathering, to celebrate the festival of Anna-P, since the dawn of time, even before Annap was a twinkle in anybody's eye. It is told about, in song and story, around campfires as far away as OZ. What do you think the song, "Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight" is really about?

We'll try to make this one, to atone for missing the celebration last Summer.

Yes, it is a holiday! January 14th through the 17th is known by many as The Festival of Annap. Although there are groups who celebrate this event in the months of July and again in August, sources indicate that the main feast is the one in January. The Festival of Annap is one of much music and song. It is also observed by the ingestion of copious amounts of food and beverage. Some of the more avid pilgrims have been known to travel many long miles to attend.

annap ... is that a holiday weekend of some sort? I'm too envious of those who went to the various gatherings last summer, so I gotta be there (unless something untoward happens)! ... moonchild

It will be good to see you again Max. Bring your wet suit this time if you want to go canoeing. Or will it be skating? Cheers Bill

Hi Everyone, Here we go again!!

I know this is way early, but Bill just told me he was coming and asked me to hold the gathering from January 14th til January 17th. So there we are... you can at least start planning. I hope a lot of you decide to come. We'll have a fireplace, and Chai Tea (with rum opt), and hot chocolate ( rum opt), hot buttered rum (rum mandatory), lots of food, etc. You know the schpeeel... I'm going to make as much room as possible in my home for sleeping, playing, talking... no lime jello though. Well, I don't think so anyway, you never know!! It's going to be fun. I'll only bring it up once a week til January, then I'll go every day. We're offf...

Love, annap
