NO! I won't say it. I won't.


Leadfingers - I have saved a seat for you in my car. We go from the Getaway to Tinker's in NJ to Linn and Tom's in Portsmouth (the Press Room), to my place in Maine for a Song Circle. Linn and Tom, Micca and Catsphiddle are also included - van seats 7 and I will have a roof thing to hold our stuff. Free meals mostly and a place to sleep in relative warmth and comfort if not privacy. Your own room in Maine. PM me.

Hey SINS -- bring a hibachi or maybe just aluminumumium foil for engine-top cookery and you could have the first drive-over restaurant. Stuff like "Possibly Possum Teryaki" or "Fox 'Flounder'" - YUM!

Jacqui, you need me to bust a rhyme for ya, just gimme da whirred!

Sorta like:

It's curry for breakfast, curry for lunch
And ice cream in the loo, cuz I got a hunch
That buttholes be flamin', on you an' on me
When it's curry for dinner after curry for tea
And if the ice cream is curry, at least it's cold
You might wonder if the thunder from down under's gettin' old
Curious? Curry us, that's what itz about!
In da loo, vindaloo, it all come out.

Stephen-- I hate to interrupt all this evil planning with boring routine..*grin*...but as summer progresses, there will be threads about Getaway workshop ideas....

This year, Carly will be doing a large part of the schedule, assisted by Rita, who has done most of it for the past 5 years..(and a couple others. Carly is not on everyday, but she'll no doubt be happy to have a list of ideas. (I don't think we've had yodeling for ages!)

There's gonna be so much talent at this years Getaway that we'd have to run for 3 weeks to use it all!

Right. Do I really want to see this poor delicate cultured Japanese woman sucked in to the machinations of the Mudcat's seamiest denizens? Hmmm....I dunno. Brett, ya wanna go down to Florida instead? I hear BWL is floating an alternative site down there....

I'm here, I'm here! Bill is right, I sometimes cannot check in every day, but since I am doing programming for the Getaway, I will be around as much as possible.

We appreciate all your input; please be aware that we will not be putting the schedule grid together for some time. Rita, Bill, Charlie(in fact, most of the usual suspects) are involved with the Washington Folk Festival, FSGW's biggest single event, and so we will be busy through the first weekend in June with that.It also helps to wait until the registrar is in place, so we can see who is coming this year. However, PLEASE feel free to send workshop suggestions, info on your own talents, etc. to me or to Rita. It would be easier for us if you would PM me rather than communicate only through the thread(s); this thread alone is now over 400 entries(!) and I do not want to miss anybody.

Every year I think, "how can it get better than my memories of last year?" and every year holds new and wonderful times at the Getaway. Since I've been going evey year for over three decades, I feel confident in predicting a wonderful time, and I am looking forward to seeing you all.

Carly

It's not a wimp-out, man!! It's strategy. I learned it from Lao-tzu: "The wise general, no matter how well-equipped, will not do battle with women. For to do so is to subscribe to a problem for which no solution is possible." The Art of War, 16th edition, page 211.

Since he may take Mrs. Luke McCoy"

I am currently in negotiations with the bargaining team from the Corporate Home office of Weather Gods, Inc. LTD KMA . I have told them that the solidarity amongst my brother and sister Mudcatters/FSGW'ers is at a record high and that we are prepared to take whatever steps are necessary to achieve our bargaining goals of fair weather and warm temps. I am fully prepared to exercise all the negotiating skills that I have learned in some 25+ years of bargaining. Solidarity brothers, and ESPECIALLY sisters.

Will this get me a little slack????

Negotiating the weather???? Using silver tounge techniques on the Gods to assure your own self interest.... Seems to be some sort of conflict of interest in that stance.... Wouldn't want you to compromise your reputaion Mick... Relax

Now Amos, perhaps some further inspiration coming to us from the Temple of the Golden Globes might enlighten and energize those of us involved.....

Well, I do know how much the Cap'n hates rock and rap and I can imagine what the cellar looks like. It seems to me he and Amos are taking the only sane way out of this dilemma.

I, on the other hand, will be escorting a woman for whom our whole culture is a mystery - ALL of it, not just the Mudcat portion. For that reason I am sure the kind ladies will leave me out of their machinations.

The rest of you guys are on your own!
