Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 16 Sep 10 - 09:24 PM This year I'm not bringing 95 pounds of fruit to the Getaway so I'm happy to bring along Rapaire's trumpet if sent to me (or any such thing that would help a traveler). I also have some extra sleeping bags. We seemed to accumulate a new one each year my son went to camp. Who needs one? PM me or write Swallowtailjig at yahoo and I'll bring you one. I can offer overnight accomodations for a few 'catters on WEDNESDAY night (not Thursday) but not transportation to the events as I won't have the seats in my car. I live near the Silver Spring MD Metro (Red Line). Hope this is helpful to somebody. I'm practicin' my floozie stuff now. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 05 Sep 10 - 11:09 PM I'm offering a hotel in Virginia, in heart of the beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley. Mosby sorta trashed it a few years ago, so it's a bit of a fixer-upper. The current owner wants to move to North Carolina, for reasons known but to God and don't even hold water with Him. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 05 Sep 10 - 08:48 PM Just reread my last post, Genie. When I said check with Charlie, I was referring to amplification for the cafeteria. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 05 Sep 10 - 07:25 PM There hasn't been a PA for the cafeteria, which is the only place people are centrally gathered except for the Saturday night concert. Before you bring anything, though, check with Charlie Baum. They may have plans for that this year. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 05 Sep 10 - 07:13 PM Aw, Dan, Getaway will be noticeably less bright without Kiran there! (Not to disparage you and Geeta, but I'm sure you're used to being upstaged by him by now.) Janie, I've got some things to bring for the auction. (Fortunately, Southwest still allows 2 checked bags and your two basic carry-ons with no extra charge.) But are you saying there's no sound system for the concert or do you just mean no P A for mealtime announcements? (I can easily bring a very small battery-powered amp and mic for announcements if that will help.) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 05 Sep 10 - 10:41 AM A reminder about the silent auction. Funds raised through the silent auction are used to provide scholarships to the Getaway. Many of us have had years when it was the scholarships that made it possible for us to attend. So....bring something to put in the auction, don't forget to check out the auction, and bid early and often on items you might like to take home! The lay-out at West River means there is no longer an optimal location for the auction, where people can browse without climbing over top of people in the area for other reasons, or without intruding on a workshop being held in the same space. Because of the lack of a PA system in the cafeteria, it is also hard to make general announcements and reminders, including a reminder about when the auction will close so people can make final bids, (and reminders to come and pay and get what you won before leaving.) One result is there has been a big drop-off in the funds raised by the auction since moving to West River. I'd love to see that change this year! Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Dan Schatz Date: 03 Sep 10 - 09:53 PM I'll be there, but alas, the family will probably not. Not sure yet whether I'll be down on Friday night or Saturday morning. Dan |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: wendyg Date: 03 Sep 10 - 09:49 PM I will be there (unless something untoward happens). My big question is how to get there. I will be phlying into Philly, but from there my mind's a blank. I will have three instruments and a suitcase. wg |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 03 Sep 10 - 09:31 PM Oh, it's great that David's coming again this year! Not that I don't see him at least about once a month, with him being the current president of the Portland (Oregon) FolkMusic Society and a perennial participant in folkie events around these parts, but it'll be fun to have yet another west coast-er along for Getaway! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 24 Aug 10 - 05:36 PM Well, better late than never, as they say! I have a business obligation that will keep me from getting to the Hoedown until Saturday about 11:30 (the shank of the evening), but I will arrive fresh and ready to keep everyone up until dawn Sunday. I also plan on sticking around the general area until Wednesday to possibly see some Civil War battlefields, eat some crab, etc. Any post-Getaway jams happening? |
