But I figured I'd take the opportunity to explain to everyone why there's been no news from the committee. And yes -- don't forget to register! It's been way too long since we've seen you! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 10 - 04:46 AM Aw, geez, guys! Yer makin' it sound like this is a Getaway not to be missed! But I'll prolly have to 'cuz I'm not sure I can still get a reasonable frequent flyer deal. And there's also the thing about getting from the airport to the camp site. I'll look into the airline thing, but if anyone else is flying in Thursday or Friday and wants to carpool from the airport, please let me know. If I can make it, I want to swing by Raleigh, NC, either on the way out or the way back. DK if anyone is driving to or from that area, but it would be great to carpool if that's an option. OTOH, if'n there ain't gonna be no Bobert's Blues Band extravaganza, Getaway jes' won't seem the same. (Maybe we can do that there Bobert's Bad Band thing?) G |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 10 - 09:05 AM Genie, Hope you are able to make it. Raleigh would not be much a detour for me on my way home, and I'd be happy to give you a ride. Janie |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: artbrooks Date: 14 Aug 10 - 09:10 AM Genie, if your sister (?) wants to swing up to Henderson again, we can cut a deal. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 14 Aug 10 - 12:30 PM Genie: I will probably make an airport run friday morning for LEJ and would be happy to have you come too if you're needing a ride. PM me your ETA (this is BWI I am talking about) and your cellphone number if you want. A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 14 Aug 10 - 12:37 PM I can't do a thing to help as I'll be driving down from Maine in a full car, but it sure would be great to see you, Genie! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 14 Aug 10 - 01:50 PM "...no Bobert's Blues Band extravaganza,..." NOT? nawww... in the late evenings, there can be any sort of extravaganza folks put together, in several locations. Why there are even genteel ballad singing extravaganzas...not that 'some' folks would ever realize it..*grin* |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 10 - 03:51 PM Thanks, Janie, Amos, Art, etc. That info gives me some coordinates to work from in booking flights. Art & Janie, if you can let me know whether you're driving from NC to the Getaway or back after the Getaway, that will help. I could maybe fly to and from RDU and skip the DC area airports. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 10 - 05:02 PM Genie, I'm driving both ways and am glad to offer a ride both ways. The return trip on Monday would pose no problems. Friday, however, I am leaving early afternoon from work, which is in Roxboro. Roxboro is up near the VA/NC border and about 45-60 minutes west of I-85, too far out of the way for me to pick you up in Raleigh or at RDU. Roxboro is also 45-50 minutes north-northeast of where I live. If you would like to spend the night with me on Thursday, ride to Roxboro with me, and take the car to putz around until noon on Friday, you would be more than welcome to do so. I should tell you that Roxboro is a poor, rural milltown and there are not a ton of ways to amuse yourself for 4 hours. They do have a library! The return trip would not be a problem, since I will be headed for home and not to Roxboro. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: artbrooks Date: 14 Aug 10 - 06:51 PM Genie, I sent you a pm. We are coming in via Pittsburgh. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Susan A-R Date: 14 Aug 10 - 08:24 PM I'm gonna miss it again, the irony being that I fly OUT of DC on the first (contra dance band rehearsals, and a cat who is ready to kill me after most of the summer away. Is there the usual party the Thursday before in the DC area?? Also, I did get great ticket prices to fly in and out of National, so it's worth checking with travelocity and the like. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 14 Aug 10 - 09:39 PM Yeah, I better get crackin' on flights.... |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Leadfingers Date: 15 Aug 10 - 07:42 PM In the absence (In N Carolina) of Chance and Suzette , Sandrolin have taken up the Mantle of the Pre Getaway Thursday in Silver Springs ! Thats Sandra and Gene ! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 15 Aug 10 - 09:35 PM Promises to be a hoot, too! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Susan A-R Date: 15 Aug 10 - 09:54 PM Ah, I'll see what i can do to get to that, since I'll miss the main event. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 18 Aug 10 - 08:51 PM The Sandrolin pre-Getaway Crab- and Music-Fest sounds like a real happening, and I'd love to be there for that. The good news is that I was able to get a RT ticket for only a few $ using my Southwest Rapid Rewards points - and that SWA lets you change your itinerary as often as you like w/o a fee, as long as they have availability for those tickets on the days you want. The bad news is that if I were to fly into BWI any time that week, I'd probably end up arriving at about 11:30 PM. They don't seem to have any flights from PDX that would get there earlier. So if I could arrive Wed. night, to be there for the bash at Sandrolin's, I'd have to figure out how to get to Silver Spring and where to stay Wed. night (unless they let ya sleep at the airport). Right now I'm booked to fly into NC and plan to ride up from there, which is cool. I just wish there was a way to be in two places at the same time. Anyways I'm really looking forward to seeing the Getawat 'old timers' and meeting some of you 'Catters who weren't there in 2008. I might even have to buy a floozie dress fer Bobert's Blues hoedown. (Or is that "ho down?") |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Leadfingers Date: 19 Aug 10 - 03:23 AM From: GUEST,Gene and Sandra - PM Date: 27 May 10 - 10:58 PM Thats the post that Gene and Sandra set the invite out with ! PM to Sandrolin for accommodation ! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bobert Date: 19 Aug 10 - 08:54 AM Well, Genie... If ya' wanta be a Floozie there are some strict dress codes ofr the attire... First, the dress has to have lots of color and second, it must not cost over $3 at the Goodwill Store... That's about it... I'll bring the feathers... B~ |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 19 Aug 10 - 10:01 AM Hey, you made ME flooziemeister! What are you trying? Union busting? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 20 Aug 10 - 12:08 AM Bobertz, jes' wundrin' when's the last time ya shopped at a GoodWill. Nowadays yer lucky if you can find a garment for $3 that's a red-tag half-price special. LOL But I'll give it the ol' barroom try. Salvation Army might be a better bet -- or, better yet, a yard sale! Anyway, somewheres in my closet I gots ta have somethin flooze-worthy. (Only question is, can I still git into it) Terry, thanks for the info about contacting Sandolin. Rap, mebbe we can write a new folk song about "Bobert, Union Scab?" |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Fortunato Date: 20 Aug 10 - 06:38 PM I think Susette and I will be doing a Charlie Poole workshop, possibly with Debbie McClatchy. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bobert Date: 20 Aug 10 - 08:51 PM Hey, I like unions... I ain't no scab... I just was tryin' to help Rap out here... I mean, he's a rookie Floozemeister and he maybe don't understand all the things that I do... No scab here... B~ |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 21 Aug 10 - 08:36 AM Oooh, Chance. Hope so! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charmion Date: 21 Aug 10 - 12:11 PM Oh, brother. Edmund and I can't leave Ottawa until after work on Thursday, so we won't get there until latish on Friday. Will the lot of you be already drunk and floozied up by then? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Nancy King Date: 21 Aug 10 - 07:01 PM Floozied up? Probably. Drunk? Certainly not... |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Aug 10 - 07:47 AM Drunk on all the good music that will be happening, no doubt. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charmion Date: 22 Aug 10 - 10:52 AM 'Cause that's the Method-ist way (thank-you, Bobert). |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bobert Date: 23 Aug 10 - 10:50 PM What??? Ya' gotta register for this thing??? Danged.... Where's Joe McCarthy when we need him the most??? |
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? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 24 Aug 10 - 07:58 PM Well, you can keep us all up till the crack o' dawn Monday too, Ernie. Deal? |
