Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Jul 11 - 01:12 AM Well, I'm still up in the air. For the second year in a row, the Getaway falls on the same weekend as a trade show I have to attend. Last year, I made it to the rendezvous Saturday night, but felt that I didn't realize the full Getaway experience. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: MMario Date: 21 Jul 11 - 09:01 AM You do need bedding but the local people are real nice about lending to travelers. |

I see I will be missing several friends who may not attend this year. On the plus side, I am sure I will meet some new ones. I'm certainly starting to warm up. Roger in Baltimore |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Midchuck Date: 21 Jul 11 - 05:36 PM Text of E-mail back and forth between Kendall & me earlier today: On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 9:12 AM, Kendall Morse Are you still undecided about the Getaway? Three drivers are better than one, and help with the gas is a positive, plus you may indeed sleep in your van. What else do you need? MY REPLY: I want to do it. I think the only thing I'm not sure of is when, exactly, my kids are coming home. They said they thought "third week in September," which would be great, but I want to be sure their time here wouldn't extend into the time I'd be gone. They are coming back with Nikki Kimball, one of the oldest and best friends of both of them: (link) She and one of her cronies want to attempt a new time record for the Long Trail - all 200-whatever miles of mountain ridges. Andrea is to be Team Doc, and has asked to borrow the van for that purpose. So I can't commit until I'm sure of their schedule. North Face, the sponsor, wanted her to do it during peak foliage, for the best photo ops. At those altitudes, that would be right around the end of September/beginning of October, the Getaway weekend. But Nikki wants it earlier, so there won't be loose leaves on the trail. I wouldn't think there would be a conflict, but if there is, I want to give them and the record attempt priority. I'll let you know as soon as I know. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: bbc Date: 21 Jul 11 - 06:07 PM Since I retired in June, this is the first year I *could* go, since the first Mudcat year, when I was unemployed. Just can't decide about cost & privacy (not mine, that of others). Rumor has it, I snore. A certain Mudcatter really made me feel badly about it at Old Songs one year. Since then, I've been motelling, rather than camping. Barbara |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Celtaddict Date: 21 Jul 11 - 08:07 PM Skarpi, if you come to the Getaway, alone or together, I will come fetch you from the airport at whatever time you get in. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: ClaireBear Date: 21 Jul 11 - 08:21 PM BBC -- Heavens! You snore? Well, I've never bunked with anyone at the Getaway who didn't, so come on and join me! I snore too...so I bunk in the noisy cabin (Peace) with the all-night session, and often stay up throughout. Problem solved. Honestly, it's a very forgiving scene. Full disclosure and excellent earplugs resolve a multitude of sins. What's more, I know several renowned snorers who have already said they won't be in attendance, so when you think about it, really it is almost your duty to come and make up the ranks! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 21 Jul 11 - 08:29 PM Barbara, The FSGW folks usually have a box of ear plugs at registration for those who can't sleep through the racket some of the rest of us make - and believe me, some of us, me included, can make quite a racket. Staying at the camp adds greatly to the experience. Don't let a past experience keep you away - ask to be bunked with folks who also snore or who don't mind the racket. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Tinker Date: 21 Jul 11 - 08:48 PM Just reading this is adding to my anticipation ..... It's looking to be a full week off again with the Youth Leader Retreat and the Great Silence everynight (4) before Getaway and then fully rested and refreshed ... Peace cabin .... Barbara... back at Ramblewood we had open rafters and the snoring often counterpointed the music.... it's part of the tradition . Too many folks whose "real life" is getting in the way .. but I am going to send them cyber hugs and get ready to see everyone else..... |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 21 Jul 11 - 09:51 PM Sheryl and I will be there. And since Getaway Friday is the 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah and we're not doing anything else after synagogue and lunch, we'll actually roll mid-afternoon and be there at the start of the potluck instead of the end! May be the earliest you'll ever see us arrive until I retire some 20+ years from now... -- Gary |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 22 Jul 11 - 08:26 AM I'm thinking Skarpi's idea of 2012 as a goal for a lot of us is a good one. Not this year for me, either. Bradfordian, I can offer a bed about 600 miles to the north, and I hope you'll include us before or after. I still have your cap! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,Dani Date: 22 Jul 11 - 05:00 PM I miss chilly Ramblewood and its excuses for cuddling : ) OK, only a little, and only because so much time has passed that I almost forget what the unheated *&^%ing shower felt like in the morning. Hey, I can get a bigger sleeping bag. Dani |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Tinker Date: 22 Jul 11 - 05:18 PM Things are getting interesting.... but the visual of Dani + ...+...+ ..on one of those oh so spacious bunks gives me the giggles I wonder what type of camera angle I could get from the top bunk? |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 22 Jul 11 - 05:27 PM And don't forget, several of us have video cameras. We can pick up the visual (Dani + + + in the mega-sleeping-bag) AND the audio of ClaireBear and Janie snoring in stereo! Genie |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Jul 11 - 05:57 PM Hmmm. Sharing a sleeping bag? Ah, be still, my beating heart.... Well, Dani, that's what I was thinking, but it sounded too good to be true. Why couldn't you, the woman of my dreams, have been single back in the days when I was single??? Guess I'll have to get my bedding from Kendall again.... -Joe, regretfully (but happily) monogamous- |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,Dani Date: 22 Jul 11 - 08:14 PM Sweet Jesus. If I had a nickel.... Joe, I would not love you if you were not your gorgeous, monogamous self. The wonder is that the women smart and fabulous enough to have scooped up the worthy men of Mudcat are so generous in sharing them. I am respectful of the loan, and promise to give you back unharmed. Dani (glad to know the Mudcat cabin tradition survives) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Jul 11 - 08:26 PM Ah, the pain of unrequited love, it never seems to finish, And when I sing about it, I sing in the Key of R Flat Minor Seventh Diminished..... -Joe, whose wife says she appreciates his taste in women- |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Midchuck Date: 22 Jul 11 - 08:40 PM Should I be having second thoughts about getting involved in this? Should Kris be having second thoughts about giving her OK to my going off to it on my own? (Actually, I suppose she's confident that Jacqui would rat me out if I managed to do anything I shouldn't ought...) Peter. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Bill D Date: 22 Jul 11 - 09:36 PM Sock you? I wanna pick your brain! I thought *I* was the local philosopher. Joe... did you miss my offer of bedding? Did Dani's post distract you? Hmmm? *grin* It won't hurt my feelings either way, and I'm sure Kendall won't short-sheet you... but I always wonder about long threads that are just skimmed. |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Jul 11 - 09:44 PM Did Dani's post distract me? Did Dani's post distract me? I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it might embarrass me... -Joe- Will somebody please make sure I have blankets to sleep with? After all, I need my security....and something to protect me from distractions. |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,Dani Date: 23 Jul 11 - 09:43 AM All jest aside.... I will make sure you have plenty of comfy (empty) bedding, Joe. It'll give me a reason to be held accountable for being there. Dani |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Celtaddict Date: 24 Jul 11 - 10:44 PM This is sounding good! I am sorry about some of the folks who will be missing, but will be bringing my Skype-equipped laptop and hope we can set something up. (Also Google+ has ability to do a group-Skype type thing if someone is invited in by then.) Dani, most sleeping bags can be zipped to others making an almost unlimited size. Just saying. Very excited about many who will definitely be coming, Max, Joe, Mick, Claire, MMario, et al. And shooting for a BIG 2012 should not discourage anyone from coming this year who possibly can. Just one more reason to plan now for 2012 too. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: KT Date: 24 Jul 11 - 10:49 PM YAY, CELTADDICT!! It would be SO cool to be able to Skype in this year!! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 25 Jul 11 - 07:14 PM I also have an extra sleeping bag and assorted loose bedding I can bring for out-of-towners. Of course, if it's as warm as it was last year, most folks may not **need** blankets or sleeping bags. -- Gary |
