Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 01 Sep 10 - 03:26 PM Sure would like to know what's on the schedule.... Got my reservation in some time ago without any hitch. Amos promised me a ride from BWI or where ever, but I have "ride on top with the luggage", whatever that means. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: maeve Date: 01 Sep 10 - 03:54 PM It seems Amos has saved you a seat between Granny and that good ol' hound dawg: Reserved for Rapaire |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 01 Sep 10 - 07:09 PM Since I won't be riding shotgun w Amos, Rapaire, you could put a claim on the front passenger seat. Note- you'd better be good with a map and directions. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 03 Sep 10 - 02:33 PM Well, I am happy to cooperate, but there will be a coupla others riding along; KT is thinking on it may be and David Ingerson, the noted Irish scholar and singer, will be along. Let me know your sched and we'll arrage it. A |
|
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: artbrooks Date: 03 Sep 10 - 09:34 PM Raparee, if all else fails we can pick you up on the way through from Pgh. |

|
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: 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: 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: 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 - 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: 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: Bobert Date: 05 Sep 10 - 09:42 PM Amps??? Horrors!!! Right??? Well, yeah, maybe in some cases but some of us play instruments that is all evilly 'lectherfied that needs real amps to make 'um work... But, no...

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: 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: ClaireBear Date: 17 Sep 10 - 12:35 PM OK, OK...I'll bring some whipping cream and Rapaire can whip that. Someone else can bring the chocolate syrup, the nuts and the cherries, and we can all have a good old-fashioned ... oh , wait, how do the Methodists feel about |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 17 Sep 10 - 12:38 PM I think we should beat Rapaire's saber into a ploughshare. Then whoever he gets to plough can share! A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 24 Sep 10 - 09:27 PM It's really amazing to think about--all over the nation and oher nations people are undergoing huge inconvenience, aches and pains of toting bags and travel, to converge on this little leafy glen in the backwaters of Maryland to spend three days eating so-so food and sleep in hard racks...for the pleasure of hearing each other sing. Now that is really somp'n, I am here to say!! Put we picked 'em where we larned 'em, And for that Getaway I would foller Morse on a sway-back horse To hell, come any day! (Variation on a theme from Frank Warner) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: artbrooks Date: 24 Sep 10 - 09:42 PM We will hit the road Sunday morning. Got the car in for a pre-4000 mile drive check-up this morning, and now I have new brakes, a new battery, a new serpentine belt, and am $530 poorer. I guess I can't blame the Getaway, huh? We are bringing New Mexico salsa and jalapeño brittle. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 25 Sep 10 - 02:40 AM Jalapeño brittle, Art? Now that sounds like food fit for a floozie! ; D |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: jacqui.c Date: 25 Sep 10 - 07:17 AM I shall be heading for Portsmouth NH tomorrow, to kidnap Claire Bear for a few days of fun before we all begin the trek to Maryland on Friday. Micca comes in on Thursday and he and Claire will be travelling with SINSULL. Kendall and I will be bringing Jeri with us. Only SIX more days to go! (I suppose we had better get to practising some songs...........) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Dan Schatz Date: 25 Sep 10 - 09:06 AM I won't make it until Saturday, I'm afraid. I have a rehearsal with Magpie for my CD release concert. 'Course, there's worse reasons to be late.... Dan |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Micca Date: 25 Sep 10 - 12:56 PM Jalapeño Brittle ??? Sounds like something that will damage you at BOTH ends, break teeth and Burn you a**!!!! Look forward to seeing Art and Jen again! Art, any chance of New Mexico w**e? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charmion Date: 25 Sep 10 - 01:55 PM Up in the Ottawa Valley, the plan is complete. Laundry is churning even as I type, so we'll have something to wear when we get there, and the dreaded List (stuff not to forget) is under construction. Cute as it is, the new car is smaller than the (much missed) indigo-blue station wagon, so the stowage geometry of instruments, bedding and baggage has yet to be worked out. We leave after work on Thursday, flop for the night somewhere near Syracuse NY, and arrive on Friday. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 25 Sep 10 - 02:37 PM We lucky locals also have planning & packing to do...especially silly ones who have this huge van, and feel compelled to use it! Instruments, bedding, odds & ends, bags & boxes for dead soldiers*, wooden crafts and tables and 'transportation devices'. ....and players to be named later. *just in case any appear late at night.) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: GUEST,KT Date: 25 Sep 10 - 06:56 PM KT, here, checking in from the north country. At the moment, sitting in front of the newly calved glacier, marveling that anything could be so BLUE! Also putting the packing list together in my head. Last day of work is Tuesday, packing and last minute errands on Wednesday, and hitting the road(er, skies) on Thursday! Like Amos, I'm happily contemplating that we're all simultaneously readying for a weekend of singing together! Can't wait to see you all! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Leadfingers Date: 25 Sep 10 - 07:04 PM I fly in to Reagan on Tuesday , and will meet Sev at The Laughing Man in DC (Sev says its a good sing). Game plan is to descend on Gene and Sandea Thursday , then head for the coast on Friday . There is the possibility of a seat in the car from Laurel and detours of a reasonable nature could be considered . |
