Would love to go, now that we have the new van.

But we have a conflict. (Scroll down a little.)

Of course, anyone who wants to come to that is more than welcome. It's up in the Northeast Kingdom, the easiest part of Vermont to get to from Maine...

Fay and I will be there on Sunday. Last year 2 members of our Borderline Folk Music Club won both, the guitar and the banjo in the raffle drawing.

Duly scrolled- good gig, guys!

We'll be camping in Quiet at Night, in the 600s. Look for signal flags, probably a popup camper. Can't wait!

I'll be there with my two 'girls'...   nevermind. I'll be there. Possibly in Don's booth, until I get an eviction notice. Seriously, I've got my hotel res, my ticket, and I've already marked stuff out on the calendar.

We're going! Finally made the decision and just reserved a site (204) in the music-at-night RV section. C'mon by for a few old songs after the scheduled events.

Well, we're used to rough camping with no power, so it's not an issue. Just wondered if we would have a haven with a/c respite in case of a major heat wave. I think the a/c needs 30 amp. Come to think of it, I seem to remember Kendall and Jacqui coming into our camper for some a/c a few years ago...

We will be on site number 205 so we will both have good neighbors on one side anyway.

I'll be there, camping (quiet site 545--so I'll come make music late-night with the noisy folks elsewhere), if you're still up). I'm camping with three former housemates/roommates from different times in my life, one of whom has never met the other two.

I'll see you all if you're there.

I really wish I were going, especially if K&J are going after all.

But not enough to give up the Craftsbury gig.

Kendall! You're coming! Hooray!
I got out the tent and supplies this afternoon- we think the ol' popup just isn't probly that reliable this year. So far the forecast is ideal weather for the weekend! Fingers and toes are crossed...

Don, you didn't answer my PM, so I'm bringing a 1.75 ml bottle of Bombay Sapphire. You'll need to bring the tonic, limes, and probably, aspirin. I'll have ibuprofen.

I'm on site BestWestern...
I may actually MISS camping if K & J are there and I have to drive back to the hotel. I want one of those Jake style pyramid camper thingies.

Only 1.75 ml of Bombay Sapphire, Jeri? That won't go far!
This sounds like a great 'do', with lots of lovely people. Wonder if I could get there one year?

Noreen,

Jeri is only having fun at my expense. She knows Cindy and I don't travel dry. And we discovered a few years ago at Old Songs that a large slice of watermelon in the glass along with the Gin and Tonic and Lime makes for a very good drink.

You get the camper Jeri, I'll stick with a B&B, Best Western, Motel 6....which ever has a private shower.

Jeri, Caroline will be at Best Western. Look for her at breakfast. We'll be next door at Days Inn. Kendall, I'm glad you're rejoining us. Bringing the good wife, I assume? Allison, congrats on the radio show!

Yes, I decided to have a go at it once more.Maintaining my "Mad on" was robbing me of seeing old friends at Old Songs, and the ones I was mad at probably couldn't care less anyway, so here we com.

I started this thread, oops, sorry it said GUEST.

My friend Hannah and I are coming for the day, probably will stay somewhat late for the evening singing festivities. (My husband is gonna drop us off and pick us up). She's a wonderful singer who grew up in a travelling singing family (the Dunns) in England. I live just up the road in Albany so am not going to camp this year; but if any of you want a shower, feel free to come to my house, it's only about a 20 minute drive (certainly less time than waiting in line at the truck).

Woodchucks, sorry not to see you this year but many congrats on that great gig!

I look forward to hearing Elizabeth Laprelle; Barry Finn raved about her and thought I would like her singing very much. Of course Old Songs will not be the same without Barry.
