Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 03 Aug 11 - 04:53 PM I'll have you know that ALL my misbehviours are PURELY of the most genteel sort, cheerfully refined and mannerly in a mildly bumptious but perfectly safe way. This is not the way they are planned, but they turn out that way for some reason. Kind of like not-for-profit corporations. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 04 Aug 11 - 06:59 PM I have a ticket to DC booked and a return from RDU, but that means I will need to find a way from the Getaway to NC. If anyone plans to drive from the Getaway to somewhere within a couple hours of Raleigh, please PM me. I will not have much luggage and can even cut back on what I'd planned if space is an option. It would probably work better for me to come to Getaway next year than this year, but I don't know if my "award" certificate is valid through Oct. 1, 2012. If not, I'd be wasting most of the value of the frequent flyer award by not using it for Getaway this year. (I wish I could come every year like some Getaway addicts do, but my pocketbook says otherwise.) Genie |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 04 Aug 11 - 07:19 PM Looks like I don't have the option of using my frequent flyer award beyond June, 2012, so I guess I'll be coming to Getaway this year even though I really SHOULD be home working on house repairs. (Oh the sacrifices we folkies make!) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 04 Aug 11 - 08:32 PM Genie-- if you redirect to BWI we can share a car. David I. is driving from New Jersey this year. LEJ is still vacillating, so I am saving up to buy him a vacillectomy. A |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 04 Aug 11 - 09:54 PM Genie - plans are more than a bit nebulous this early, but check your pms for extended forecast information on ride to NC. |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 04 Aug 11 - 11:59 PM Thanks, Amos and Janie. At this point I probably can redirect to BWI-- Amos, did you mean incoming or outgoing?--and I'd be glad to share a car with you and David. DK if I want to change the arriving flight though, because I have a direct flight (to Dulles) which is a lot less tiring than changing planes. Not sure whether it's still possible for me to change my return flight from RDU to BWI or, if so, jow much longer I have to make the change. Guess, like Ernie, I have to start vacillating soon. (Does Vacillene help that?) Genie |

I mean, even if KT was coming so I could fire her yet again from BobertsBluesBand was coming I'd still hot be able to pull it off... Even if mah-main-man Amos was coming with that usual gettar case full of righteous California weed was coming it'd still be the same...

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: KT Date: 31 Aug 11 - 03:32 AM Aw, Bobert, I'm sorry to hear you're not going. You will be missed! I'm hoping to go next year. You can fire me then. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 31 Aug 11 - 10:00 AM WEll, there goes two of the roof-raisers out the winder. Guess we'll have to just amuse ourselves otherwise.

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 02 Sep 11 - 06:45 PM Getaway is looking very iffy for me. Still hoping against hope, but won't know until the very last minute. Is it looking like bunks will be available if I don't pre-register but show up and pay at the door? |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 02 Sep 11 - 07:55 PM More important than that last post -Don't forget to bring something to the auction and don't forget to plan on buying something at the auction. All the proceeds from the Getaway auction are used to provide scholarship funds to help people attend who otherwise might not be able to afford the fee. Last year the auction made a bit of a come-back after doing fairly poorly for the 1st 2 years at West River. Let's make that a trend. Even I can't come, I'll try to get something over to Abby (are you listening Abby?) to put in the auction. Items big and small and of all persuasions are welcomed. "One man's trash is another man's treasure" and 99.999999% of items brought over the years I have been involved with auction fall into that category. If it really is trash, however, (and the bar is low,) please trash it. (dirty stuffed or cloth items, broken or filthy toys that you would not allow your own child to handle, the actual dust bunnies from the corners of the closet you cleaned out, stained coasters that are beyond rejuvenation, etc.) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: ClaireBear Date: 02 Sep 11 - 09:48 PM Janie, I sure hope you make it! The two of us sleep so little, surely we could timeshare the same bunk! I am also hoping (looks good) to get my sister Frieda from Durham, NC to join me at the Getaway this year. I am hoping for a chance to introduce you. I know your situation is rocky this year and I totally understand if you must stay home, but I hope you don't mind me holding out hope for you! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Abby Sale Date: 03 Sep 11 - 09:11 PM Janie, NOW I'm listening. Sure - no issue. If it's alive or more than six feet cubed, we can always strap it to the roof. I never knew about this thing before. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Rapparee Date: 03 Sep 11 - 10:16 PM I'm still coming, no matter what Amos says about me. This year I will not bring my duck call since Bobert ain't coming. Perhaps I can bring my bullwhips? |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 08 Sep 11 - 10:33 AM I won't be able to get to the 2011 Getaway. First one I've had to miss since I first heard about that wonderful weekend in 2000. Because of the calendar this year, the New Jersey Folk Project will have their weekend simultaneously, and I need to go to that one because of wanting to see a couple of friends who will ONLY be there this year. So sad to miss you all!! I'll send something to the David and Linda Olive scholarship fund since I can't be there in person. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 08 Sep 11 - 10:56 AM We have such good memories of our Getaway a couple of years back. I'm glad someone has still got a good memory. Mine's collapsed into a haze of mostly pleasant recollections, although I do recall a threat of bodily harm emanating from a gigantic tranvestite Irishman. Or did I dream that? A |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Tinker Date: 08 Sep 11 - 11:12 AM AMOS... I may need another cup of coffee to clear that image from my brain. Okay so I'm still determined to get there, my quick overnight with Bill and Rita has stretched into two nights as I cross my fingers and hope that the ignition coil is all that is wrong with my car. Dear husband woke me this morning to ask where the sump pumps were... yup more water in the basement less than 24 hours after we got a new hot water heater! But I did get to use my great breadth of experience helping clear up the mere annoyance of water at Bill and Rita's this am. Hell or high water I will get to Getaway! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Bill D Date: 08 Sep 11 - 04:45 PM Let's not put "high water" and "Getaway" in the same thought, hmmm? The place is right ON the water.

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Abby Sale Date: 08 Sep 11 - 05:27 PM I remember my mom had the sheet music in her piano bench. I don't recall she ever played or sang it, tho: The Song of the Seabees (1943) Words by Sam M. Lewis Music by Peter de Rose We're the Seabees of the Navy We can build and we can fight We'll pave the way to victory And guard it day and night And we promise that we remember The "Seventh of December" We're the Seabees of the Navy Bees of the Seven Seas The Navy wanted men That's where we came in Mister Brown and Mister Jones The Owens, the Cohens and Flynn The Navy wanted more Of Uncle Sammy's kin So we all joined up And brother we're in to win. http://www.31st-seabees.com/seabee_song.htm & Judy Garland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqtF686DEdM Dumb song but was important propaganda for us then. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 08 Sep 11 - 06:13 PM From Ernie Johnson and me, last year: CHO: Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'm going to the Getaway. Out where the lonesome seagull cries, on the edge of the Chesapeake Bay All the folks stay up all night, Making music 'til the rooster cries, Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'm going to the Getaway. I've gone to work most every day The whole dang year it seems Trying to forget the singing sounds That show up in my dreams I've been through bitter winter months And hellish summer days And now by God, I've had enough, I'm going to the Getaway CHO I long to see a country road That leads up the shore With folkies wandering 'cross fields, Two hundred souls or more. I hunger for the songs they sing And the funny things they say, So mister, stamp my ticket quick, I'm going to the Getaway! CHO I want to hear old Bobert shout The blues when they're done right. And watch Big Mick put the Irish out When he gets a little tight I want to hear sweet Liz LaPrelle Hold the whole place in her sway. By God I'm done with the working life, I am going to the Getaway. CHO When I get there I'll drink all night, And sing a thousand tunes And if I watch the windows right, Catch sight of Ernie's moon! I'll listen to the cowboy songs While the ladies dance and play. Be still my heart, I'm off to start And I'm going to the Getaway! (CHO, turnaround repeat on last two lines) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 08 Sep 11 - 07:48 PM Yay! Dani and Frieda both coming to Getaway! Now we just gots to get you there too, Janie. Oh, and that giant transvestite Irishman - was his/her name "Fatima?" |
