Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Rapparee Date: 24 Sep 11 - 06:30 PM Well, that's about all the exertion I'm capable of. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: David Ingerson Date: 25 Sep 11 - 05:41 AM Jeez. Now I see all the fun I've been missing by not being a regular here. But I will be at the Getaway, primed to sing late into the morning. I'll also have a car this year and can get people from airports or wherever. Yeah, it's a little late, but I'm still willing. Cheers, David |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: jacqui.c Date: 25 Sep 11 - 11:56 AM i'm looking for volunteers foot the Mummers Play. I've lost a couple of the usual suspects this year so new helpers would be appreciated. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,Sandrolin Date: 25 Sep 11 - 01:07 PM Jacqui Will you seek me (Sandrolin) out (Peace Cabin) ... I've got a couple of newcomer guests that I believe could very be helpful. Sandrolin |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST Date: 26 Sep 11 - 11:25 AM Jacqui.c Should I bring any ginger this year? I will have other donations for the Auction. Bruce |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: ClaireBear Date: 26 Sep 11 - 12:34 PM I'd buy ginger, Bruce -- though not a ton of it as I'm flying. Might send some home with my sister too, though... (It will be so good to see you!) Cheers, Claire |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: jacqui.c Date: 26 Sep 11 - 04:56 PM Thank you Bruce. Ginger would be good. Maybe just one bag would be sufficient. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,saulgoldie Date: 26 Sep 11 - 05:15 PM I will be going from the DC area on Friday. I can pick up anyone (one person and their gear and instrument) from Dulles, National, or BWI airports. PM me. Saul |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 26 Sep 11 - 10:38 PM Speaking of music stands (ones that are under 5' 10" tall), does anyone have one of the sturdy kind (not the ones that collapse into a 2-foot case) that they could bring? Please PM me if you can and if I could use it Saturday and Sunday evening. Also, I'm getting the impression that we can probably use a couple extra sleeping bags during the Getaway, if anyone has some that they don't mind lending. (Given what the airlines are charging for baggage these days, it helps not to have to bring bedding that's that big.) And, Bruce, I will definitely buy some ginger again this year if you bring it! Thanks, Genie |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 27 Sep 11 - 05:24 PM Bruce, will you have any light-gauge guitar strings? |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 27 Sep 11 - 05:25 PM Whew, Amos! Thank god! I was afraid you were gonna say the accordion! |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST Date: 27 Sep 11 - 06:59 PM Hmmm. Sounds like it may be worth it to cancel plans and come on up. Floozies, Tail Feathers, Virgins, Sluts, Sleeping Bags. Hmmmm. JAB |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 27 Sep 11 - 08:09 PM Well, I'm afraid I've gone from very doubtful to definitely not coming. Very sad for me. I'm a relative newbie but this will be the first I have missed since my "debut" in 2002. (It was also my introduction to Mudcatters - signed up as soon as I got home - for those of you who don't like me - it is all Dani's fault!:) I can't arrange for coverage to take any time off work, and like LEJ, can't burn the candle at both ends like I once could without paying too high a price. And my son finally really wanted to come, after staying with Annie S. and her family and Bill D. and his family late this spring for a Washington DC based internship! Regards to all. I'll miss you. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 27 Sep 11 - 08:55 PM DAMMIT, Janie!! I am going through H&HW to make this scene!! WHAAAAAA!!! I know better than to argue with you, but would pleading work? A |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Rapparee Date: 27 Sep 11 - 09:03 PM WHAT!?? Replacing music stands with soulless machines?? Are you trying to outsource our jobs?? Send our jobs overseas to Scotland or somewhere where they work for haggis and water? NO!! Local 37 will not permit it!! Come clean on this or music stands will walk out. |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 27 Sep 11 - 10:10 PM Chill, Rap. The music stand I need is NOT for holding music (if that makes you feel less underappreciated). Believe me, you would not want to do the job I need this music stand for, unless you like playing the game of "statues." : ) Genie |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Tinker Date: 27 Sep 11 - 10:13 PM Once again I am preparing for Getaway at a work conference and practicing the Great Silence for 12 hours every night/ morning.... We do chant 5 times daily ... Beware... may not be able to shut me up when get there... (((Janie))) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Nancy King Date: 27 Sep 11 - 10:53 PM Do come prepared for somewhat cooler weather than we've had the last few years -- forecast at this point calls for highs in the upper 50s and lows in the upper 40s. Not COLD, mind you, but cooler than we've been accustomed to recently. No rain forecast, though! So bring a jacket -- and then come to Martha's workshop and sing about it! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Sep 11 - 03:04 AM Well, I'm here already. I got lost in Baltimore at 1 AM, trying to find my hotel. The air conditioning doesn't cool and the window isn't made to open; and the place is sold out so there is no other room the night clerk could give me. I'm spending three days on the Eastern Shore to get me in shape for the Getaway. See y'all Friday. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 28 Sep 11 - 12:55 PM Janie, so sorry you can't go. Even though I'm not going this year either, I'll still miss not seeing you. Doubly, I guess. Looking forward to doing Shake Shugaree with you next year. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Rapparee Date: 28 Sep 11 - 02:15 PM Okay...no walkout strike. The Union will trust you on this. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: gnu Date: 28 Sep 11 - 02:30 PM I hope all have enjoyable trips to (and from) the event and that all have a wonderful time at same. Someday, I'll be there. Fair warning. Have fun the lot a yas! |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 28 Sep 11 - 03:34 PM Darn, Joe, getting lost in Baltimore can be hazardous. Didn't you see the "Wired" series? A |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,Dani Date: 28 Sep 11 - 08:13 PM Packed: bhodhran, auction items (including cigar-box guitar), the sleeping bag I'm sharing with Joe (I... mean... lending to Joe). Next up: laundry, packing, hanging curtain rods (don't ask), prepping for post-Getaway catering gig, checking tires so as to safely and happily ferry Abby and myself, organizing music, a few hours of work, then... THERE! See you soon! Dani |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Midchuck Date: 28 Sep 11 - 09:38 PM If anyone still needs a sleeping bag to use, we have a couple of cheap old ones around the place - bought years ago when children were flying out to join us at Old Songs and didn't want to drag one along. Let me know before very early Friday am. P. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: bradfordian Date: 28 Sep 11 - 10:44 PM I have got myself from to Toronto to Sandrolina's bash in Silver Springs just north of Washington DC. But I really want to give praise to the Washington taxi drivers. On arrival in Silver Springs, I got my luggage from the boot of the cab but as it was humid and dark, my jacket got overlooked. One hour later the cab driver turned up with the jacket. So I declare my gratitude. Thank you taxi drivers of Washington DC. But I can't extend that gratitude to the Boston airport security who confiscated my 4 bottles of wine for the party. I flew to Washington from Tornto via Boston, so I was expecting to not have to go thru security again! Doh (I'll just have a dry weekend!) bradfordian |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Siochain Date: 28 Sep 11 - 11:00 PM Three travelers will arrive in Greenbelt on Friday around 5:00 PM. We seek suggestions (or outright offers!) to get us to West River. Many thanks!!! Rose, Colin and Olivia |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 28 Sep 11 - 11:33 PM Rose, et al, where is "Greenbelt"? A |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Siochain Date: 29 Sep 11 - 12:14 AM Greenbelt, MD is just off the Beltway. It is about 5 miles NE of College Park, 10.5 miles east of Silver Spring and about 29 miles NW of West River. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,beardedbruce Date: 29 Sep 11 - 07:19 AM I should have a box of various strings. Guitar, banjo, mandolin, violin, viola, dulcimer, etc, plus a set of .009 to .022 gauge ( dozen of each gauge) in case I need to go fishing. It seems easiest just to bring the entire box- see me if you find yourself in need. Having a minor problem with the ginger ( they were out!) but am working on it. Will have a number of student violins/violas from $50 to $200 ( case and cheap (but usable) bow included) that I have been practicing repairs on. Any music teachers that want a bunch PLEASE see me! I will also bring my Octave Violin(s) and at least one chincello. Probably an Octave mandolin, as well. REMEMBER to bring items for the Auction! AND a MUG to save on paper cups! ( Some will be available for use, just donate to the Scholarship Fund.) |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Nancy King Date: 29 Sep 11 - 10:15 AM Bruce, thanks for reminding folks about the Auction. Do bring a contribution for it, BUT please remember that space is limited! Bring something, don't bring everything! |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: jacqui.c Date: 29 Sep 11 - 10:21 AM Just on our way out - drive to Vermont and join forces with Midchuck for the long drive tomorrow. We had a bit of a scare - Kendall started with possible cold symptoms last night and we weren't sure, even this morning, if he would be fit to go. Turns out to be sinus trouble and visit to the pharmacy has sorted out what he needs. He's now feeling (and looks)100 times better than he did three hours ago so I don't have to do a solo act again! |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Dan Schatz Date: 29 Sep 11 - 10:23 AM More than most years, this Getaway is going to involve some painful decisions of where to go. What a great problem to have! Dan |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Dan Schatz Date: 29 Sep 11 - 10:36 AM Jacqui and Kendall, I'm glad to hear everything is okay! Here's one more thing to bring - bug repellent. With all of the rain the Mid-Atlantic has had this year, the mosquitoes have been plentiful and fierce. Hopefully the cool weather this weekend will keep them at bay (so to speak) but it doesn't hurt to be prepared, in any case. Dan |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 29 Sep 11 - 01:08 PM I'm donating 3 large travel mugs to the scholarship auction and will designate them as "buy now" items, so if you need a mug, check the auction tables early. Midchuck, if you bring the extra sleeping bags I have no doubt they'll be appreciated, if only as extra padding on the not-so-soft cabin mattresses. Bradfordian, sorry about your wine-smuggling travails (what a loss!) but don't worry about having to be "dry" during Getaway. It is, after all, a Methodist camp site. See y'all very soon, accompanied by an Aussie and a Marylander. Genie |
