This is in July, right? I say all of us US 'catters get up there and support this gathering. If they will have us. I would love to meet some of the folks, and meet up with some I know already. Let's make this a do. Would that be alright with you folks?

We are very sensitive about our position on the world front given baby bush's BS.

That depends from where West are you coming from? If it is B.C. then of course you do. But if your coming from state side no problem. The dates are July 27,28 and 29 Admission for the past 4 years has been $10.00 in advance $15 at the gate. Friday no charge as well as Sunday. It has been pass the hat. However, this may change a bit this year. Camping is free to a point. If you need electrical hook up then it is $10.00 a day/night. The grounds has plenty of room for trailers, boats , planes or even pup tents. If you want to park your car on the property and sleep in it no problem. Just turn the motor off.

Beer,
Will we need a passport to go to Quebec? ;)

What are the 2007 dates? How much is the cost of admission to the festival?   Does the free camping include "car camping?" (Could I park my car and sleep in it instead of putting up a tent?)

Thanks,
rags

You sure are welcomed Sunsull. If I had room you could stay at my (our) house. I usually have about 15 in-laws and outlaws staying over. I have folks that come in from Saint Thomas and London Ont.
In a very short time I will be able to announce some of the changes we are working on for 2007. I'm excited about them but the almighty dollar may still be the problem. Anyone want to donate around ten grand or suggest some millionaire that wants a tax receipt for a donation?
Let me know.

I don't know where the notion came from that non-Canucks would not be welcome. Unfounded. Of course everyone/anyone's welcome.

I can make it if those of us below the Border are welcome.

Yes. Please. Whatever you want. Workshop for beginner songwriters, open tuning stuff, sing a few songs, it's up to you.

Don't come down this end of the threads much but glad I did. Sure would be nice to have a mudcat rally at our festival. Thanks for suggesting it Bobad.
    Maybe I could suggest to the board that a special weekend rate could be made for you mudcatters traveling all the way here to central Canada. Or is it Toronto?

Cross half of Canada in the snow for a mudcat meet? "Come on Dasher, Bowler, Bellman, Diedo, Bendigo, Gentry, Traveler, Countess, Drover, Bonnie Lass, Rover, let's go. Get the sled out of the shed, we're mgoing singing". Not.

How about Central Canada then?

Toronto or Ottawa?

I'd love to go, if I can find a way to get there. It's a very, very long drive, though, and my poor little old car is rusting out (big holes through the floor). A big SUV coming from the West Coast and picking up others along the way, would be nice.

Having people over for a Canadian meet is kind of like having people over for a Russian meet. You've only got about a billion or so hectares of land to choose from when agreeing on exactly where it will take place. ;-)

There were rumors this past year that Bruce Murdoch would be performing. Alas, he wasn't on the list when the artists were announced.

If he's going to be there next summer -- and I suppose if Peace is coming it's a really good sign -- then I'm making the trip from T.O.

Hell, Midchuck, a southerner to a Montrealer is someone who lives in Sherbrooke.

If it's near Montreal...I'm in US but only 3 hours from Montreal, even if I don't speed too badly. Would you let "southerners" in? If we're not out west then?

Canada is so large and it seems a long way from Cape Breton to anywhere else, but I'd love to meet some of you cats someday.

An added plus to going to Ormstown is that you would meet and hear Bill Garret and Sue Lothrop. These two are accomplished performers and great folks. It's a win for all concerned. Hell, I might even try and make this one. Hope you can pull it together.

Cannot take the time right now-- health, work, commitments.

Plus the Getaway people would hunt me down like a dog if I came up there first-- I haven't been able to be lured there, yet, and they're really out to get me.

May I suggest getting together at the Ormstown Branches and Roots Festival . This is a low key and friendly festival which is organized by Mudcat Beer and is held at the end of July in a small town situated 45 minutes out of Montreal. There is free camping and toilet and shower facilities available. So far four Mudcatters, that I know of, have expressed their intention of attending next July.

Could you have it in Sascat...Sasketc...Manitoba? I've never been to Manitoba.

If you have it in, oh, Alberta or BC I might be able to make it, if you'll let me in.

Canadians are welcome at my place. I'm not prejudiced against Canadians or, as we call them in Pocatello, "folks from Northern Idaho."
