Subject: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 25 May 02 - 12:43 AM Continuation of this thread
The basics: Houseguests and campers are all accommodated, and if you don't happen to live in the Northwest, don't let that stop you (it hasn't stopped anyone so far!) If you want directions, drop me a PM.
Sing with you soon, |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 25 May 02 - 12:51 AM Sooz, sorry to hear the news, but I totally understand. I'm thinking that a great fundraiser for next year is a version of the stepping stones I've made for my garden....except instead of the lame ol' handprint mosaic thing, we make prints of things that people might actually pay money for....Put them kissing booths right outta business....LOL...I'll probably have to get the cement by the truckload.... But THIS year (fingers crossed/knock wood/dance to spring) we may have a celebration of a very different sort, but I ain't lettin' the mudcat outta the bag just yet! *g* ~J |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Áine Date: 25 May 02 - 11:11 AM So Jen, how many folks are you expecting at this little get-together anyways? -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 25 May 02 - 11:49 AM Actually Sooz, the cement thing would work.... With some of us gals, the impressions would be big enough to fill with dirt and seeds..."im-planters" as it were... Aine, it's looking like double-digits...yee-haw |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 25 May 02 - 01:52 PM The Temple wishes to open negotiations for all the output you can manage; we recommend a parallel product line in injection-mold latex, if only to broaden the support from the market. If we're lucky we can get in just under the wire.
Brother Haptic C. Renody,

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 25 May 02 - 01:59 PM Uh Jen, remember when you say "cement," I'm from Chicago.... Oh, and Amos, you'll see to it that the men participate as well? Since I can't be there to check up on that detail? (You know, let them see the ladies' entries first, so the fellas make a big impression with theirs....) ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 25 May 02 - 02:52 PM Oh stoooop!! LOL!!! You chicks are making me blush!! LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 25 May 02 - 03:28 PM Yeah, right, he wants us to stop. OK! WOuld not want to force you or anything! *G* Let us know when you want us to start up again! (I do love a good allover blush tho) ~Susan |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 28 May 02 - 09:41 PM Susan, In Part I you posted "... if I won the lottery ... I'd...maybe enter a boob-swinging contest...". What kind of "boobs" we be talkin' 'bout here? (We're not talkin' 'bout pesky anonymous "guests," are we?) And is this a standard part of Mudcat Gathering fare? BTW, Susan, where is your mudcat photo? Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 28 May 02 - 10:01 PM Yezz ma'am, Miz Genie, I'm in there! Right next to Amos in a Mudcat Events photo, "WYSIWYG visits Amos and Barky," of course, and I am the bosomy one in the group, on the left, grinning back at a smiling Mrs. Amos (who is not IN the picture because she is taking it). As regards your other question-- I suppose we each have to decide for ourselves whether, and what, to swing, eh? *G* ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 29 May 02 - 04:07 AM Guess so, Susan. (Isn't that why they invented sports bras--so we COULD decide for ourselves? *G*) I'm not sure which Mudcat Events photo you're in, but, yeah, Daly (Jessup) seems to like being behind the camera (which is a pretty good way to keep an eye on hubby and collect evidence at the same time, don't ya think?). Kind of a shame, though, 'cuz she's a damn sight prettier than Amos!* Genie §:- ) *That's just giving Daly her due, not an insult to you, Amos. |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Francy Date: 29 May 02 - 11:23 AM We will be there.....Frank and Nancy and the boys Colin &Casey...We have tents and equipment. So we just need camping space.....Will bring extra grub and instruments. Looking forward to meeting everybody....... Frank of Toledo |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 29 May 02 - 11:46 AM Genie, I never entered the contest in the pretty department; I tried but they said I wouldn't qualify for the initial trials. Well, what they _actually_ said was, "Faggeddaboudit..." Now as to "swinging", us dangly-bit types have loads of experience in that department, and I am sure we would be willin' to offer instruction on an individual basis... A |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 29 May 02 - 02:46 PM A workshop, maybe... ; ) |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: GUEST,Mudjack Date: 29 May 02 - 03:09 PM Now that I know that July 13 and 14 are the actual dates, I do have somewhere else to be but should be able to sneak up the road a bit and meow with some cats. Have we forgotten that July 12 through 14 is Yakima Folk Life? That might work out better for me knowing I can trek up the road a few miles and be there. That is take a break from the festival. I usually get a Fri night or Sat night spot at Bob's Cork and Keg. See you. Thanks JenEllen, for reminding me of the right dates. Mudjack |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 29 May 02 - 03:21 PM Hi Jack, no, I didn't forget Folklife, it was just that that particular weekend was the one that rangeroger could attend. What's one folklife compared to a friend who keeps getting the fuzzy end of the gathering lollipop? *g* If I don't get down there friday, say hi to Bob for me? |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: SandyBob Date: 29 May 02 - 07:43 PM I'll try to attend also. No kids that weekend though. SandyBob |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 30 May 02 - 02:33 AM Susan and Jen, I just checked out the previous troublesome boob threads to 'get' the boob jokes above.
All I can say (TREAD CREEP ALERT!) is that the looking-funny-or-conspicuous-with-the-guitar-being-a-"breast-rest"* problem is minor compared with boobs turning your amplifier up during a gig when you least expect it! Genie *When I first got a guitar, as a teenager, my older brother asked if that was what the guitar was.

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 30 May 02 - 02:44 AM Makes sense she posted it twice. Left and right, ha ha. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: reggie miles Date: 30 May 02 - 03:17 AM Jen, I presently have gigs on every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so unless they get tired of me before then, it looks as though I won't be able to make it up for the weekend. Saw ya in the future I hope, Reg. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 30 May 02 - 03:44 AM Susan, I "posted it twice" because the first TWO times I tried, I got an "error" message saying the site couldn't be accessed. Then I finally (an hour or two later) was able to log on to Mudcat, and I could swear my post was NOT there when I tried again. Now I've got TWO of 'em. (Internet/computer gremlins and leprechauns really DO exist, don't they?) Aw, Reg, I wuz lookin' forward to doin' "Aloha Oe" witcha. August, maybe? Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 30 May 02 - 01:13 PM Genie, that gives a whole new meaning to 'training bra'--- brilliant flash of inspiration, but what about making a bra for your guitar? Knock together some little dixie-cups or something to cover the knobs? Support and protect. Then again, with acoutsic/electric, you'd have to consider it underwire too I guess...*g* Reggie, sorry to hear, and even more so that you and your saw won't be here. Congrats on the gigs though. Saw ya later is right, maybe August would work for you? ~J |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: GUEST,Mudjack Date: 30 May 02 - 03:30 PM Sandy Bob........... OK, I'll bring my banjo and steal a few more licks. Wow, I sure hope the festival schedule is kind to me so I can spend some time with all you good folks. Mudjack |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amergin Date: 01 Jun 02 - 10:11 PM So...is it big enough that we need to wear name tags yet? |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 01 Jun 02 - 10:24 PM Looks about a score of folks at this point -- but there will be popups and last minute dropouts, probably. I dunno, Jen -- maybe you oughta charter the local KOA for overflow!! :>) A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 01 Jun 02 - 11:04 PM Popups????? ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 01 Jun 02 - 11:19 PM Oh, Sooze, git yer mind outta the gutter!! I meant people showing up unexpectedly!! :>) LOL!! A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 01 Jun 02 - 11:55 PM Gotcha BG! *G* I know whatcha meant! *G* ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 02 Jun 02 - 12:07 AM Lotsa folks, but there is also more room here than there is at the KOA in the summertime!! LOL Was talking with a friend over dinner tonight and he said that the name-badge thing was OUT. Having our names on our shirts would only lend creedence to the "Mickey Mouse Operation" theory. So y'all will just have to do your best to be unforgettable. ~J |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amergin Date: 02 Jun 02 - 12:13 AM so if i show up with a bag over my head...could I be known as the masked mudcatter? |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 02 Jun 02 - 12:16 AM masked mudcateeeer....maybe..... ~aNNETTe (lol sooz) |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 03 Jun 02 - 04:23 PM Frank of Toledo mentioned in this thread that he might make the July gathering in Ellensburg. Still think you might make it, Frank? |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: mousethief Date: 03 Jun 02 - 07:32 PM I have a question about the July gathering. What times of day are involved? My wife is flying into SeaTac on Sunday afternoon (not sure exactly what time) and I shall have to go pick her up so I'll have to leave Sunday maybe noonish. Alex |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: reggie miles Date: 03 Jun 02 - 08:08 PM Whoa! I just lost two shows that were suppose to be written in stone. It just shows to go ya. What a drag! Now it seems, for the present anyway, that I am officially unemployed on Friday and Saturday nights. What's goin' on here, the curse of the mudcat gatherin'? It's left me gigless in Seattle for most of the weekend except for Sunday eves. I spose one of you clever computer cats have preprogramed my auto's computer to drive up there on autopilot that weekend as well. Well, if nuthin else comes along. gotta get my mudjo woikin' so's I kin git sum mo betta woik playin muzak. |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: rangeroger Date: 03 Jun 02 - 09:15 PM The fuzzy end of the lollypop? What if I like that end? Well, I'm back from Strawberry only to find there have been globular consequences added to the gathering. Should be an interesting sight,though I'm not too sure about sticking things in cement. I'm with Nathan, we all can wear bags over our heads and make everyone guess who we are. Except, I'll bet Angus will be able to tell some right away. As for Yakima Folk Life, we could always take a group day trip to the festival as the Touring Mudcat Gathering Ensemble and Rabid Coyote Chorus. rr |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Deda Date: 03 Jun 02 - 10:08 PM If I come into a bunch of cash (not likely, but I can dream) I'll show up alongside brother Amos as his official chaperone, and alongside his nephew, my son Adam, who will then be just back from France, having sung & played in the local Irish pubs several nights a week since last September. Wishful thinking. Better than no thinking at all, I guess. |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 04 Jun 02 - 10:51 AM Chaperones have been proven time and again to have no known effect, sis -- since I was about 12. Besides, it is not that kind of a gathering, as I understand it! :> THe kind of place this is, according to my intelligence, is reflected in the following story which actually happened right outside of Ellensburg: A farmer got pulled over by the Ellensburg Police for illegal lane change, and the cop started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable. Finally, the officer got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The officer stopped writing the ticket and said-"Well yeah, if that's what they are. But I've never heard of circle flies". So the farmer says "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the rear end of a horse." The policeman says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute. Are you trying to call me a horse's ass?" The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for police officers to even think about calling you a horse's ass." The officer says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though." |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Francy Date: 04 Jun 02 - 11:21 AM Yes Genie, I will be there and am looking forward to playing a lot of music with you folks.....Frank of Toledo |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 04 Jun 02 - 12:24 PM Sounds good, Frank. I plan to be there from about 10:30 Saturday night until whenever things break up on Sunday. If I'm up to making the 2-hour-plus trip from Seattle three times in one day, I might even come over early Saturday morning (9-ish?) and then leave about 4:30 to get back to Seattle before 7:00. At any rate, if you guys don't hit the sack early Saturday night, I'll see you then. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 04 Jun 02 - 05:09 PM Alex: The house is open Saturday and Sunday, revolving door, so if anyone has to leave at any certain time, that's fine. Reggie: Even if that car-computer isn't already programmed (jeez, what am I paying you people for?) you can bring your mojo on over to this side of the mountains! Roger: Rabid Coyote Chorus??? LMAO... Did I ever tell you the story of 'cajun night' at Folklife? It's a wonder they still even let me on the grounds...if we go to the festival, I'll need to put a bag over MY head..LOL ~J

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Steve in Idaho Date: 04 Jun 02 - 05:50 PM It is VERY hard to fool those flies - Jan and I will most likely come over Friday and cruise out Saturday AM. We'll head for home on Sunday at some point in time. It's the last two days of my vacation - :-)

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Deda Date: 04 Jun 02 - 06:05 PM Time was, anyone trying to chaperone Amos was likely to get whiplash. 'Course he's growed up and slowed down a mite since then. *BG* |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 04 Jun 02 - 07:47 PM Hey! Keep them skeletons in that there closet, sis!! I never inhaled...well, I never inhaled the chaperones.... at least I don't think that's what happened to 'em!! :>) Anyway, now, this is folk music, right? That's different. A whole different kinda thing. Calm. Balanced. Thoughtful. Considerate. More my speed. Not hectic or rambunctious. Melodious and soothing and kinda gentle and respectable. That's why I like folk music. It's civilized. (Any takers? :>)) A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 04 Jun 02 - 08:07 PM Melodious and soothing and kinda gentle and respectable? What? No singing "The Ball at Kirimuir?* No Rugger songs? No bawdy chanteys? §;- D *How the heck DO you spell that?? I'm blanking on it. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amergin Date: 04 Jun 02 - 08:28 PM No, Amos...this will be folk music...not Peter, Paul and Mary.... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 04 Jun 02 - 08:32 PM I believe it's Kerriemuir, Genie. Lyrics for the rasty-minded can be found here. Amergin -- start practicing "Four Strong Winds", I suggest! A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 04 Jun 02 - 09:34 PM Amos-- oh yah, sure... *G* OK, here's the truth about Amos-- his behavior is impeccable. Lovely manners, courtly. But his mouth... varies. He's irrepressible! I know! I tried! *G* And he gets away with it, too! Those eyes! You'll see! ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 04 Jun 02 - 09:48 PM Jeeezeeeus, Sooz!! Let's give this thread back now, okay?? I can't take this stuff!! LOL!! A |
