I THINK it was Benjamin Franklin who (to en-courage the signers of the Declaration) said, "We must hang together or we will surely hang separately."

Kendall knows exactly which side his bread is buttered.

We both wear pants, but his are probably prettier.

I went well beyond control many years ago, that's why he loves me!

I am starting to be afraid. I think I might have to work this weekend. Or maybe attend a funeral. Or did I have to stop and help out a dear friend in need? Take the dog to the vet?

I normally don't carry weapons to these things, but I thinking this is the year ........ relax, I am just kidding.

It ain't right, you people are making my stomach hurt. And involving MaryLou in this was low. Have you no shame???????

And just remember this, as you plan your devious and sadistic rituals. Irishmen don't get even ...... they get ahead.

Kendall .... you got to help me out here. Kendall? Amos? Bruce? Skarpi? George? ......... C'MON GUYS, A LITTLE ASSISTANCE HERE. IF WE HANG TOGETHER .........It's a helluva lot easier organizing unions, and taking the occasional ass whuppin', night in jail, than it is to get youse layabouts to stand against these maniacal she devils ......

Shit ........... I am well and truly screwed. Probably won't even get the first friggin kiss out of the deal.

Bobert,

"Like what was that about anyway... I never got it..."

I agree with this statement of yours- You never did get it... Nor did you ever try to find out.




Sinsull,

I will get the ginger there because I said I would have it available. I may or may not make it there, myself- But I will leave the boxes sealed so that you will have some confidence in them.

Long story, but if I am "unemployed" I have to be at work whenever they want me to work, (to fill in)- when I am "employed" I get a fixed schedule and can arrange time off.

It looks like I may get some leverage, since I am working this weekend. If the s/c is in good shape, and I can get out of town before they need me to work again, I should be there Friday afternoon.

I would offer rides, but there is some chance I would eiher not make it at all, or have to leave early.

Well Sinsull, Bruce has a VERY difficult work schedule. (I think he tracks the space station or something, and has to be there to make corrections and check the data gathering. Something like that anyway.) To hear him tell it, it's pretty boring all-night work. But there aren't a whole lot of people who can do it and the schedule is absolutely inflexible, so he doesn't get to choose his hours.) So I think we should cut him some slack.

Did Bearded Bruce say he is or isn't attending and why not?!? I don't think anyone should accept candy from a man who isn't even willing to be there when you eat it.
So bruce...in or out?

Nevermind...

Come on by, do what you gonna do.... Jus' no stink bombs, thankee...

Yeah, Amos, come on by... I'll be the guy leadin' a blues workshop of, ahhh, one whilst the entire takes-a-villiage is off gogglin' at Kendall...

Hey, I know when I've been had but...

...HARK... seems that my portestations have found a sympathethic ear and so I've been offered a mini-concert which is scheduled fir a half an hour on the Tuesday afternoon after the Getaway at any place of my choice!!!

Sniff... An I thought the powers-at-be weren't sensitive...

But never mind my dribble...

If you play some blues 'er just want to hear some, split yer time between the Theater and Kendall and you'll get the real deal from both of us...

Putting the Helen workshop on the same time as anything else is dangerous. I'd like to hear a George Papavgeris mini-concert. There's a good chunk of Sunday where I want to be everywhere. Where I end up may have more to do with inertia than anything else. And you have "The Three Eens" (CollEEN & NorEEN KEENe) on back to back, which is cool because they both do ballads. I'm glad Colleen Cleveland is going to be there!

This duplicates my post on the Getaway Program Information thread. It's important enuf that I want to make sure as many people see it as possible. Please reply on this thread

Okay, THE SCHEDULE (draft) IS ON LINE.

Saturday Grid

Sunday Grid

Workshop leaders, we want you to tell us if you are scheduled opposite a must-see workshop. We'll try to "fix it."

Everybody, tell us where your worst conficts are. We'll try to fix it if enough people holler ouch. (It's one of those things where sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease, so we're careful about making changes.)

Last year a few people suggested that the Getaway would be less hectic (and frustrating) if we had a bit fewer workshops and let them go on longer so more people could participate. We are trying that this year.

Workshop leaders are listed pretty much in the order in which they were signed up to lead the workshop. (Sometimes that's just a matter of who was home to answer the phone when we first called.)

Let us know what you think. (Oh, yes, this is the Mudcat.... Of course you will!)
