This was my first getaway. I'm now convinced that there are bodies behind such handles as Mmmmmmmmmario, Joe Offer, Big Mick, Janie and others, including the fizgoo-ers who hang out here.

My pix are here

They didn't pay up to keep the pix private?

Just kidding-- thanks for sharing!

Let's see if I can do this link for pictures. This seems a little wierd posting before the Sunday night concert is even finished! Blown away by this Getaway. I'd tell you all about my special moments but I'm afraid I'd leave someone out. I shed several tears and laughed heartily. Ah, but we are so blessed. So much music, so little time. Thanks for letting me be a part. Much appreciation to ALL the volunteers who made this possible.

Love to all,
Annie

I will be posting a video of Saturday Nights Blackmail Event to YouTube.   No one has met my minimum bid to NOT upload it.

We were warm, indeed, Dani. And you were greatly missed, as was KT, Ebbie, Jeri, and all the regulars. This was an exceptional Getaway, great workshops, wonderful guests, and an excellent facility. It was like night and day. I don't miss one thing about Ramblewood.

There were many highlights, and I am sure we will all post many rememberances. It was a doozy.

One of the highlights for me was sitting and singing with John Roberts and Dick Greenhaus until 6:00 AM. These lads have so many songs in their heads and they just kept going and going. Amazing.

All in all, a memorable gathering, full of fellowship, wonderful music, and good times. Perfect ....... well there was one bad moment on Saturday night, but we will just skip by that. It seemed like a tribute to bestiality....... but what happens at West River, MD stays in West River, MD........ LOL.

I've been home nearly two hours, but I'm only part way back to reality. Ebbie when you get to Wincing Devil's 142 and go on through you'll see that somehow Mz Mary mangaged to organize a major production number on Saturday night.

Like Mick there were many pleasant new features. Dani did you notice in the pictures that folks were singing in T shirts while there was frost on the cars ??!!! I'm not ready to start on memories they are all still sorting through and supper is not yet on the table. I'm waiting to hear from some of the Main-e-acks to check in from the straight through drive.

More later....

I was in such a hurry to get the pix up, I misspelled the name of the thread! JudyO (momnopp) pointed out some misnamed pictures STARTING WITH HER OWN! AARRGGHH!! All in all, I, for one, had a great time! Looking forward to next year!

I think Tinker's just reveling in the fact that the buildings were heated. It was very cold outside, but we were real toasty indoors. In fact, some of the buildings were downright hot. It turned out the heat is adjustable, but a bit unpredictable. It'll take practice to get it right (not unlike music...)

We all had a fine time, but it might take a little while to jumpstart the brain cells to write coherent reports...

I tried to add a few captions on the pix, but they haven't shown up.

BTW, note how well Barry Finn looks! WAAAY better than last year!

The Captions submitted via the "Suggest Captions" are at http://www.WincingDevil.com/captions.htm

I have to update that page semi-manually, because cyber-naughties have been putting obscene captions in.

WYS, in the past I've been known to walk around at night and hand out old winter coats to the poor frozen singers who are so inebri==enthralled with their own music they barely notice they are turning blue. The warmth did make it much easier to loose track of time altogether.

It was "brisk" outside - but not bad - in fact the impatiens planted by one of the cabins were still blooming until monday morning. (and gardeners know how tender and sensative they are to frosts!)

first time I'd ever been in the area for foliage season - made me homesick for New England.

HEY.....WINCING ONE......Thanks for the photos and their ongoing captions but where is the video? I never make it to these things but a little video would be great......and a good tool as well.

Spaw,
Mick spent and inordinate amount of time moaning about video, the end of life as he knows it and "what-would/will-Spaw-say" seemed to be of great concern.....I haven't seen the footage Barry shot for me, but I have no clue how to upload.... it's not in my interest to learn

If anyone wants to send me sounds captured during the Getaway (musical ones, I mean, preferably made with instruments and voice) I will be happy to (a) post them somewhere so they can be played by others ad (b) make a composite CD of them for distro as desired.

I took very few photos myself and am very grateful to others who made up the difference.

As to video, I don't suppose one survived the trip.

I was there and in costume - I just had the sense to use a mask as well. Mind you, I had made good use of the white cranberry juice before going on stage.

Well there are still so many people whose names I don't know! Once we have our computer back (if & when?), I'm planning to download lots of these posted pictures for a Getaway 2006 Memory Book for us and for Darriel. Suspect I'll have to revive this thread at that time & ask for help with names.

Great pictures Jacqui and Janie. Sure missed you all but I did get to NOMAD. Getaway next year for sure. Keep the pics coming. Looks like a nice place. How was the food? Lots of faces I knew and lots I didn't recognize. That's great to see new faces. Hope they come back so that I can meet them.
