Subject: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 22 Jun 00 - 01:16 PM If I were in LA sometime between Aug. 8 and 17 for a couple of days to see my mom--- where and when could the most of us get together, from as far away as would like to come? And would someone have an autoharp with pickup and amp I could use so I don't have to lug my whole rig to play witcha? I need to know so I can book a ticket to fly for the right dates! So c'mon! ~Susan

Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Jun 00 - 01:20 PM We ain't got a lot of LA 'Catters......San Diego and San Francisco are the bigger communities, but Sean lives in LA and he's always complaining that there's no one there. Spaw |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Jun 00 - 01:28 PM I'd love to go down for a gathering, Susan, but Los Angeles is like another world to us in the north. It's easier for me to get to a Mudcat gathering on the East Coast, than it is for me to go to Los Angeles. My old boss would pay my way and my lodging, but then I'd have to do actual work down there for three weeks. I think I'm allergic to work... -Joe Offer, retired- |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 22 Jun 00 - 01:28 PM Hey, LA or not, I'll go where I gotta go! Me and Sean can go for a ride! Sugar Dog do love to go for a ride! C'mon! Joe Offer, where are you at?? ~S~

Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Jun 00 - 02:03 PM I'm at Sacramento, Praise. I've got a guest room and an autoharp (without plugin), and YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME AT OUR HOUSE. The San Francisco Mudcatters like Dave Swan and BSeed haven't been online much. I wonder what happened to them. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 22 Jun 00 - 02:57 PM THANKS Joe! You scare me! Thass OK! We will just have the whole gathering at your place! ~S~ |

I'm booked at the london Bridge Pub in Monterey October 17-19, and then at the Reno Celtic New Year Fest the 20 and 21st. Can you stay longer? Seamus |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: rangeroger Date: 23 Jun 00 - 09:16 PM Susan, If you could make it Labor Day Weekend you could come to the Fall Strawberry Music Festival in Yosemite.I think I've got Amos,Barky,and Daly talked into coming and it is a short distance from both LA and Sacramento. In fact I will be driving through Sacramento the week before the Festival. rr |

Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: rangeroger Date: 23 Jun 00 - 10:00 PM Mbo, that trip you made a few months ago was just a beginning.Keep doing those every few weekends and you will find you really enjoy getting out. Then your trips will start to become longer and longer and you will look for excuses to avoid staying home. And you will ENJOY it. rr |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 26 Jun 00 - 11:46 AM rr-- No can do, schedule depends on clergy booked to replace Hardiman for a particular Sunday, but where are ya? Are you and Joe Offer near each other? Is there a central (ha ha) spot we could aim for? (Oooh! Ooops!) Alison! I will leave a hug with your name on it, on each 'Catter I hook up with! Be sure to collect as many as possible! ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: rangeroger Date: 27 Jun 00 - 12:05 AM Susan, I won't leave North Idaho until sometime during the week of the 21st. I have to be in Sonora by the 25th, so I'll be driving through Sacramento around the middle of that week. Doesn't look like I can make the connection. rr |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: DADGBE Date: 27 Jun 00 - 12:15 AM Hi Praise, Let me know if you and Joe O. make plans to gather. I'm about 45 minutes west of Joe and would love a chance to get together. Ray |

Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 27 Jun 00 - 11:02 AM WHY can we not yet stop time and make it run right for US? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Sorcha Date: 17 Jul 00 - 09:51 PM Sooz, does SD mean San Diego, or South Dakota? If you are gonna be in South Dakota, this lil' puppy's gonna take a drive..........(bet it's San Diego, tho. You could parachute outta the plane over Denver, and I'll come get ya!!) |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 17 Jul 00 - 10:42 PM Hey bes/bud-- i RECKON i SHOULDDA BOOKED THE LAYOVER IN dENVER THEN! OOPS. oops. Tuff, it's my thread and I'll cap if I want to! SD = San Diego. It IS in CA after all. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: mactheturk Date: 18 Jul 00 - 08:36 AM Praise, COME ON DOWN!! We've got a couple guitars, no autoharps though. Know So-Cal like the back of my hand. Music venues include; McCabes, The Coach House, The Frett House, Shade Tree Music... Fun in the sun.... Mac |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Peter Kasin Date: 18 Jul 00 - 10:25 AM Count me in. I'll let pj, Dave, Riggy, winters wages, bseed and radriano know about this thread. We're all in the San Francisco bay area, in case you can come up here as well. As Joe Offer said, though, L.A. is another world to Northern Californians. |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 19 Jul 00 - 07:56 PM Well here is the plan. Arrive SF airport Aug. 9, afternoon, for a 3-hour layover at the airport, and if you want to sing there (LOL!!!), send me a message and I will send you flight number and time to find my gate! Sorry, no other SF time will be possible. On to LA, til the 18th, except for the brief visit to San Diego to see friends over that weekend. So.... again, send me a message if you want to try to hook up in LA or SD. ~S~
|
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 04 Aug 00 - 12:05 PM It's definite. There will be at least two Mudcatters at the San Francisco airport singing their lil hearts out, on Wednesday August 9, between 2:22 PM when I arrive on United flight 61 and my departure at 5:44 PM, also United, flight 2223. We'll be at one gate or the other, or page us! Unless we are asked to leave! (Oy!) Of course what you do after I leave is up to you! Then on to LA and San Diego through Aug 18. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: MMario Date: 04 Aug 00 - 12:34 PM Three hours should be plenty of time for you to do whatever AND have some time to "relax" before going back to the nerve-wracking and exhausting task of traveling. |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 04 Aug 00 - 12:45 PM Mmario, Awwwwwwww..... yes. I will remember to relax. I'm still getting well.... feeling a lot better but need to chill out.... thanks for the reminder, dear friend. Made me cry, you silly. Good tears. Awww.... ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Elise Date: 04 Aug 00 - 09:08 PM Wish I could make it. My parents live accross the street from McCabe's in Santa Monica. I grew up there (but don't tell anyone). Should I warn Sean that people will be staying at his place while he's outta town? We'll both be at a renaissance faire in Santa Barbara. |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Psaltry Psue Date: 05 Aug 00 - 05:46 AM We live in the Malibu area. give me a call. I would like to meet a real live Mudcatter. Getting phone in next week. Will drop you a line when I have a number. |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 09 Aug 00 - 12:27 AM OY! WHY did I book with UNITED!!!! Pray me flying!!! ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: rangeroger Date: 09 Aug 00 - 01:42 AM My prayers are with you kid. Any way to transfer to another airline? Of course that's you and several thousand others. rr |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Peter Kasin Date: 09 Aug 00 - 03:43 AM It looks like me and also Melani won't be able to be there because of work schedules. I first thought your stay would be a day or so. Most of the other local mudcatters are 9 to 5ers as well (Me, til 5:30.) Too bad. Wish I could make it. I hope someone can show. -chanteyranger |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 09 Aug 00 - 06:08 AM Hey chanteyranger... what if I get as far as SF and then get stuck at the airport? Past your workday? I wish I could stay longer too. I wish I had a year to visit Mudcats. Can't you come down with sudden illness after lunch and leave work early? ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 09 Aug 00 - 06:16 AM rr, No such ruck trying to re-ticket ahead of time like a sensible person.... unless I want to pay last-minute full-freight fare.... show up with all the other lemmings and take my chances. My plan includes ordering wheelchair assistance. With health problems I have been having, I qualify, and I am sure they will not want to have a crabby chairbound lady on their hands any longer than absolutely necessary, especilly when I INSIST on repaying their courtesy with a free washboard concert. I also anticipate that the clacking of Therapeutic Claves can echo quite crisply in airport acoustics. And if that doesn't do it, the last resort-- sing reedy high soprano along with my Tom Waits tape. Yeah. Better pray real hard. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 09 Aug 00 - 08:53 AM Add a kazoo to the washboard,Susan and you'll get buumped up to first class! Best of luck! RtS |
Subject: Message from Praise From: Pene Azul Date: 09 Aug 00 - 11:32 AM Praise couldn't get on the Mudcat earlier, so she posted this to the help forum, and reqested that someone post it here: Mudcats wanting to hook up at SF airport late this afternoon can page Susan Hinton to try to connect. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: MMario Date: 09 Aug 00 - 11:41 AM Handle with care and send her back rested and refreshed guys, I got a date with her two weeks from Saturday.... |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Aug 00 - 04:10 AM Well, she made it to San Francisco OK, and on time, too. Her plane for Beautiful Downtown Burbank left late, so we had an extra hour. We had a very nice time, talking and singing at the San Francisco Airport. A guy sat down next to us and started talking on his cel phone. My instinct was that I shouldn't sing when somebody's talking on the phone, but I resisted. Since we were there first, I figured we could sing as much as we wanted to. I didn't notice anybody being disturbed. Thanks for coming, Susan. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Peter Kasin Date: 10 Aug 00 - 04:52 AM Sounded like fun. Reminds me of playing in the Seattle airport last year with a group of Fiddlers on the way to Alaska. This music is sometimes really appreciated by passengers who are otherwise bored and anxious about flight delays. Those cell phones, though... |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: MMario Date: 10 Aug 00 - 09:06 AM Anyone who sits down next to a bunch of musicians and pulls out a cell phone deserves to be drowned out... |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Melani Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:27 AM I'm glad some people could make it. Maybe next time! |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Peter Kasin Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:49 AM Here, here, MMario! What are they thinking? Or are they? |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Aug 00 - 03:47 PM Wheee-oo! I am in Californy! ~S~ |
Subject: Praise Meets Amos and Barky! From: Amos Date: 13 Aug 00 - 05:03 PM Wal, folkies, hyar's an update on the whereabouts of our peripatetic and peregrinacious Praise. We have spent two happy days wandering among the sights of San Diego including the blue waters of La Jolla and the tip of Cabrillo Point, and we did some very bad things which we will not reveal at any price! Additionally we also sat around at Amos and Daly and Barky's place just whanging out old songs by the hour. We took photos which will be posted in due course. Praise says: "Only the presence of my family would have improved the experience!" It was pretty smarmy, she adds, guffawing. But a fine time was had by all. A,D,B,&P |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Mbo Date: 13 Aug 00 - 05:09 PM Sounds awesome! |
Subject: RE: Help: CA Bound: Aug. Gathering?? From: Sourdough Date: 13 Aug 00 - 05:23 PM I don't know how I missed this thread until today. I don't work 9-5 and could have been there. I have never met, to my knowldge, a 3-D Mudcatter and am kicking myself with a large cyber boot (warm, of course) for having missed this opportunity. Sourdough |
