Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: blt Date: 05 Jun 02 - 12:49 AM I missed the first thread entirely, glad to hear that a weekend has been picked and gladder still that I might even be able to go--it's my grandson's 10th birthday on the 14th, is this a kid-friendly gathering? blt |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amergin Date: 05 Jun 02 - 08:51 PM Well..I can't speak for Amos or JE or Aine but I for one will refrain from getting too rowdy....it would be good to have you there, BLT! would be great to see you again! |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 05 Jun 02 - 09:21 PM Hey -- I don 't have to make any promises -- I'm on the record as having impeccable behavior! LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 05 Jun 02 - 10:41 PM Well, I can vouch for your gentlemanly conduct on the occasions when I've been around you, Amos. But, then, that was on your home turf with the wife and kid either there or not far away. Does he behave (misbehave?) differently when on the road, folks? Or just on line, maybe? Genie §;- ) |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 05 Jun 02 - 11:46 PM Well, if I had any choices, which I didn't, they're evaporating rapidly anyway!! It's one thing to duck a chaperone, but another to break out of a goldfish bowl!! :>) A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 06 Jun 02 - 01:49 AM LOL! |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 06 Jun 02 - 02:18 AM ***Note from Runamuck Staff*** If you are planning to escape your bowls, please bring paper towels for clean-up. Anyone left on the floor with blue gills and bugged out eyes WILL be given a non-orthodox 'burial at sea' come Sunday night, unless previous arrangements have been made with camp management. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 06 Jun 02 - 02:51 PM Well, ok...I can settle for that. I have always favored the unorthodox, you know, and burial at sea is urely fine, if there must be, especially if the staff are providing transport; and I come from a long line of blue-gills, I think -- my father used to complain about them when I was very small..at least I think that's what he was talking about.. lemme think if I recall the exact words... hmmmm. MAybe he was talking about something else, but anyway I am sure I come from a long line of something-or-other!! LOL! The appearance of official Camp Runamuch staff raises another issue, though. Obviously we are going to need an Official Camp Runamuck Song. "Dear Old Runamuck, mother of us all...." sort of thing. I don't think we should include lines like "we will not forget thee...", though -- it's a little early to be confident that we could live up to it, all drinking out of the same goldfish bowl and all, like naughty housecats...!! :>_) (Better than naughty housedogs, I guess, considering....) **bg** A A |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: katlaughing Date: 07 Jun 02 - 02:03 PM Jenellen, I think the plank should be no more than an inch wide! Yes, Alex...out to sea in a handbasket?:-) |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 07 Jun 02 - 03:01 PM Back to topic: Those of you that are planning on camping out---remember to bring a flashlight! (keep in mind that this gem of wisdom did NOT come from very nearly killing myself on a walk to the lake last night...I'm just 'sayin') I sent BLT a note, yes, kids are welcome. Lots of room to run and explore, and besides, we need someone around who'll keep us all in line. kat: Plank? What plank? |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: katlaughing Date: 07 Jun 02 - 03:03 PM For the burial at sea...make 'em walk a plank before, if they misbehave:-) |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: rangeroger Date: 07 Jun 02 - 08:01 PM I, for one, plan to bring my own Personal Flotation Device. rr |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 07 Jun 02 - 10:17 PM Well, Roger, really, how could you not? A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 07 Jun 02 - 11:13 PM Hmmmm.....got a pair of them flotation thingies meself...LOL kat, most goldfish burials at sea that I've been privy (ha) to have not had a plank, merely a prayer and a flush, not necessarily in that order...just how do YOU do it? *bg* |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Jun 02 - 11:17 PM Hate to carp, but it all sounds rather fishy to me. Eel just have to manage though. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 07 Jun 02 - 11:29 PM Well, I'll bring a pair of water wings, just for the halibut. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 07 Jun 02 - 11:54 PM Not to burst anyone's synchronized swimming bubbles or anything, but with the way the weather has been here lately, you might think less about swimming and more about ice fishing...*g* ~J |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 09 Jun 02 - 03:26 PM Well, folks, Amos and I spread the word about Mudcat and the PNW gathering when we were jamming with the San Diego Folksong Society folks last night. click here for Amos's comments While it's doubtful a bus will be charted from SD to Ellensburg, there actually was one of the SDFS women who is FROM Ellensburg and WILL be in Ellensburg that weekend. She has her own agenda for being there, so I doubt she'd have time to drop by even if she were [or becomes] a Mudcatter. I'm going to keep in touch with her, though, so who knows...? Genie |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 09 Jun 02 - 03:38 PM Oh dear, yet another fantasy shattered on the hard shoals of pragmatic reality!! Ah, well, perhaps a herd of motorcycle? :>) A fleet of electric scooters? A Million-Mudcat March? Police Blotter, here we come! :>) A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 11 Jun 02 - 02:17 AM hmmmmm.... "The Million Mudcat March"
Now, there's an idea! |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 11 Jun 02 - 03:55 AM Are you two tryin' ta give me a coronary? Believe me, this would be the way to do it.... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 11 Jun 02 - 03:43 PM Now, Jen, just chill and go with the flow -- it'll all be over by the following Wednesday or Friday, luck willin' and the creek don't rise! 'Course if it does rise, it'll save a lot of traveling back for August except for the cousins, in-laws, neighbors, and such... A |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: blt Date: 12 Jun 02 - 01:03 AM OK, I got the message about kids being welcome but now I'm wondering how many priests will be there. I mean you got everything else on the planet nicely arranged on JenEllen's patio, so as a grandmother, I'm a little hesitant to bring my very charming grandson, who, by the way, can look at any instrument and play it, when he's in the mood. Lately I've noticed that his tastes are wandering though--from Eileen Ivers to Rage Against the Machine. On the other hand, maybe he'd fit right in. It will be great to see you again, too, Amergin (I get so distracted by life I forget to check in here and see what's really going on)--if I go get my grandson, plus camping gear and guitar, I think I'll have to drive my own car. If not, it'll just be me and my stuff and carpooling might work. Do you still have room available in your car? blt |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amergin Date: 12 Jun 02 - 07:53 PM BLT...there is definately still room! |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: mousethief Date: 12 Jun 02 - 07:54 PM I'm not a priest, just a reader. Hope that doesn't put you off. I wasn't planning on wearing my robes. Alex |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: SINSULL Date: 12 Jun 02 - 08:51 PM I wish...I wish...I wish... I'm still listening to last year's tape. There were definitely children there. "ABCD" in multiple harmonies proves it. Have fun guys. Maybe next year as part of the Million Mudcat March. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: MMario Date: 12 Jun 02 - 09:47 PM That tape was a hoot and a half, wasn't it? AND good music! |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 12 Jun 02 - 11:14 PM Good music should rule the weekend, for sure. blt....forgive me, but I've spent a solid day trying to figure out just WHY we might need a priest, and nothing I've come up with is even remotely attractive....PLEASE tell..*g* Jen (who still has a faint hope of keeping this out of the police blotter) |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 12 Jun 02 - 11:40 PM ...but I was christened "Saint Shutyertrap" of the 'Holy Rolling Church of the Plastic Capo' once upon a time, if that will suit your religious needs.... GrinningJen (what I wear under my robe is nobody's business) |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 13 Jun 02 - 12:16 AM And if any of you get real lucky, I do weddings... LOL!! Actually, I'd like to add this benediction to my standard ceremony, if I can get permission: "Bless this couple in the name of Saint Shutyertrap, that she may intercede when they call her by Her Blessed Name...." Which pope is in charge of licenses and royalties, then? Oh...all of them, eh? I see....hmmm. Maybe I better stick with the "if any man know good reason...speak now or forever hold his peace..." bit. I don't think anyone has trademarked it yet!! I assume Jen has tacked down SaintShutyertrap.com, .net, .org, and .biz.... LOL!

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Jun 02 - 12:16 AM Well if I'm not coming I'll be damned if I'll let Hardi go! Besides, Amos can be the priest. Ask him about it. He's already agreed to conduct my planting for me when the time comes. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Jun 02 - 01:04 AM Weird cross-posting! ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: mousethief Date: 13 Jun 02 - 12:39 PM At least it wasn't weird cross-dressing. Alex |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 13 Jun 02 - 01:58 PM I think that's been spoken for, Alex -- Nathan has made it clear to us all that he is actually a lesbian!! LOL!! Ask me about that cowboy who went to NYC only to learn that he was one too!~LOL! ~A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: GUEST,DW at work Date: 14 Jun 02 - 01:06 AM Well if I don't pull crappy shifts again, I'll try and make this one. Should I bring any religious artefacts with me? And is there somewhere I can power up a keyboard? DW |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 14 Jun 02 - 01:19 AM Better define just 'how' the keyboard is powered up... This may be the 'House of the Inflamed Yang', but it's run by a Luddite fer shure. |

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 14 Jun 02 - 01:31 AM Y'all do have 'lectricity in Ellensburg, dontcha, Jen? §;- ) |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: JenEllen Date: 14 Jun 02 - 04:19 AM Oh crap, 'lectrickery?...we just got whatchamacallit....uh, 'fire'....and I heard on the drums tonight about this crazy thing called a 'wheel'...will wonders never cease? (could I possibly be more embarassed?) DW, bring what you have to and we'll figure something out, okay? Hamsters, anyone?

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: mousethief Date: 14 Jun 02 - 01:17 PM See the Song Challenge! 84. The story is about a couple who live in Ellensburg (or just outside). Jen, did they name the town after you, or vice versa? Alex |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: blt Date: 14 Jun 02 - 09:42 PM Nathan is a lesbian? |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: rangeroger Date: 14 Jun 02 - 09:55 PM So am I. I love women. rr |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 18 Jun 02 - 02:12 AM I can help out with carpooling on Saturday, and Sunday, in case anyone needs a ride. Looks like I'll be making the following trips: Ellensburg to Seattle at about 4:00 or 4:30 PM on Saturday, July 13. Seattle to Ellensburg at about 8:15 PM on Saturday, July 13. Ellensburg to Seattle [or to Portland, if I have a PDX rider] on Sunday, July 14 [schedule flexible]. If anyone would like to ride with me on one or more of those trips, please PM me.

Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amergin Date: 18 Jun 02 - 02:14 PM I will be going from Portland straight to Ellensburg on saturday morning...and will be going back to portland sunday midafternoon to evening.... (i have a docs appointment that monday) |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 28 Jun 02 - 11:38 PM Still not too late to "sign up," is it, Jen? (In case anyone may not have seen this thread earlier this summer.) Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: rangeroger Date: 28 Jun 02 - 11:56 PM Well, I'm bound for Oregon the next few weeks. The contractor I'm working for now has a job going in Salem. I will be flying out of Spokane headed for Portland on Monday AMs and returning on Thursday PMs. I will know better what my actual working schedule will be and where I will be staying after next week. With the 4th holiday next week it could get real crazy as far as working hours so I don't think I'll be able to see anyone until the week after if at all possible. I will keep you updated. rr |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Genie Date: 05 Jul 02 - 05:09 PM I think it's refreshing that so many catters will be going to Jen's for the gathering next weekend. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific NW Catter Gathers Part 2 From: Amos Date: 05 Jul 02 - 05:30 PM Genie, are sure it isn't the new strawberries -- I mean, just in case you want to re-fraise your post? (Bong!!! A |
