Yay Amos, glad you have a job! The registrations forms will be put up in about a week. We're going to have an edited thread for the administrivia so people can find what they need to register, make their plans, etc. This thread -- or a successor for efficiency's sake -- will keep rolling along as well. At least I hope it will!

I need to know what the registration process is like and how to choose one or another accommodation. Is the reg form currently on the FSGW site valid? Should we start the new thread of preps for Getaway yet?

See, I yam now employed....

Sorry for the confusion. Giok is not the father of KoKo's twins. Someone else known to sport lime green thongs cum potatoes is responsible. No, Giok, another lady awaits you. heh heh

I just can't wait for the Getaway.

Now that giok has announced his intentions to attend the Getaway without his wife, I am free to announce that a very special lady will be waiting to meet him - heh heh

And what the hell am I supposed to do until October with this very pregnant gorilla moping about my place clutching a lime green thong and a potato?

what next? Practice songs!... (not much to do till Aug-Sept..but it depends on when Charlie & Carly get various registration and workshop plans working..) When this was 95% local, we barely thought about it till summer. This international flight booking, ride arranging and lead time planning has our little brains all a-twizzle (technical term - means stonkered and bamfuzzled).....

But it's gonna be fun.

Rita, where is the FSGW festival held? At Camp Ramblewood? How many of you will be in attendance?

There are times I rather envy you East Coasters your denser populations.

In July the Alaska "State" Fair will be put on in Haines, Alaska. (It's called a State fair, but it's not even as big as most county fairs 'down south'). Steve Earle will be one of the headliners.

"Real soon now" we're going to start an edited thread with the Getaway 2005 registration information and stuff like that so information will be easy to find.

The Getaway committee are all up to our ears in work for the Folklore Society of Greater Washington's (FSGW's) Washington Folk Festival (June 4 & 5) right now. Carly & Charlie are threatening to start work on the Getaway on the 6th (hahahahahaha as Mick says) which means it will not be TOO long now. As for me I plan to collapse and do as little as possible for the entire week of June 5 and I suspect I'm not the only one, so don't grumble too much please if we're a week or 2 later than that getting started.

mooman, git yer behind over here. You are one of the 'Catters I have always wanted to meet. This is shaping up to be the "can't miss" Getaway. Many 'Catters from the old side of the pond are headin' in and it should be a wonderful gathering. If enough of you make the trip, I will make a trip over there (he says tongue planted firmly in cheek, as if he had to be convinced to go to Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, and Belgium....hahhaahahaha).

This one is going to be the best yet.

I can't wait.

approximate agenda - Friday evening meet and greet and eat - potluck supper; settling in, impromptu music, much hugging and chatter. late night music continues in some places.

Saturday and Sunday - workshops, mini concerts and impromptu stuff all over the place, good food, evening "concerts" you can sign up to perform in. Some farewells. late night music continues until ??? in some locations.

Monday - groggy packing, farewelling and leaving by sleep deprived - music continues.

www.fsgw.org, mooman. Folklore Society of Greater Washington puts on the Getaway in Camp Ramblewood in Darlington, MD. You fly into BWI airport in Baltimore and drive north for an hour or so. If you review the many threads you'll see lots of folks will be driving near and rides are possible.

I don't get into the mudcat much anymore so I won't be much help. just happened by.

cheers,

I'm half-thinking of coming across the pond from Belgium to this year's Getaway as well.

Where is the venue, what is the approximate agenda and what are the accomodation arrangements? (Sorry if this has been explained earlier but the thread has now become very long...).

Many thanks and peace,
