Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 09 - 07:29 PM Iff'n yer comin' start thinking about the silent auction (what yer gonna bring, and money to buy.) The proceeds for the auction support the Getaway scholarship fund. I'll be glad to help with it again this year. The appropriate FSGW person should pm if you would like for me to do so. If that person is not a Mudcatter, email is endresgardenataoldotcom. Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Bill D Date: 14 Aug 09 - 07:41 PM We 'may' have more room for setting stuff up this year....**IF** they get the new dining hall finished and the old one is available for other stuff. Don't hold your breath.... more news when we get more news. |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Micca Date: 14 Aug 09 - 09:07 PM Bill, The "new Dining hall" Is right up there with El Dorado, Tír na Nóg and monetary assistance from the Government, stuff we have HEARD of but No one has EVER seen anything substantial of!! I May believe once I am sitting in it dining, but NO SOONER!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 09 - 09:43 PM More space would be great, whenever they finish the new dining hall. I wonder if there is any hope that with a new dining hall will come a person who works therein who actually likes food? My only absolutely bonafide complaint about the place is the food, which is truly awful. At least as bad, and sometimes worse, than the lunch line in a public elementary school. It would be wondrous if they had someone supervising the kitchen who cared at all about food preparation. I ain't asking for gourmet meals, mind you. But it seems they go out of their way to do a poor job with what they have. I'd say, offer to pay more for better food, except that better food doesn't taste better if ill-prepared. Oh well. I don't attend the Getaway for the food. I attend for the music and the company...both of which are always excellent. Do I remember that there are some outdoor grills? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Bill D Date: 14 Aug 09 - 10:40 PM *wry smile*...remember, the kitchen staff is 'largely' college students working part time, and they cater 'mostly' to 'youth groups', who no doubt think meatloaf is gourmet stuff. We had the same problem many years ago at another camp that catered to Boy Scouts and such....but after a year of WORSE than this, they let US cook.... which was nice, but it required 2 hours a weekend kitchen duty. I am lucky...I was raised in Kansas, where some of that stuff is haute cuisine.... I just eat it and shrug and go listen to the music. (at least Friday night can be tolerable) (outdoor grills were at Ramblewood... and their 'grilling' was kinda mediocre) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Bill D Date: 14 Aug 09 - 10:52 PM Remember...some hated the food at Ramblewood, some loved it. Rick Fielding said it was great! I'd sorta guess 'flat, close, and warm' trump 'food & cold weather & hills' for many of us as we age. |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Genie Date: 15 Aug 09 - 02:02 AM Hey, David (Ingerson), I'm glad you're getting to go this year. I wish I could -- it was a hoot last year! -- but RL seems likely to interfere. Kind of a shame too, since Suzette missed most of the Getaway last year due to some really inconsiderate gall stone or the like, so I missed her and Chance (except for the song thing at their lovely home the night before the Getaway). It'd also be great to see you again, dear Severn, and cheer you on in your recovery from that string of catastrophes. There are so many very special people I met (or got together with again) at Getaway last year. I really hope to get to go back. If not this year, then next year for sure. Anyone who wants to get a teensy glimpse of goings on at Getaway should check out the Getaway 2008 Pix and Videos thread. |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Bobert Date: 15 Aug 09 - 07:07 AM The food??? What, have we all gotten to that point in our lives where food is at the top of the list... Kinda a gereatrics thing... lol... But really... Bill is right... The food, ahhhhh, sucks... It makes Tumblewood's food look like somethin' off Food TV... My advice??? Don't eat it... We'll go on a hunger stricke for better food!!! That'll teach 'um not to mess with a bunch of aging folkies, allright... BTW, folkies, ol' Bobert still looking fir women fir the band... Large posteriors not necessary but will be given extra points... B~ |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: jacqui.c Date: 15 Aug 09 - 09:30 AM I'm in there then Bobert - lots of extra points for this posterior. Don't forget the feathers! |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Amos Date: 15 Aug 09 - 04:58 PM Some of our women-folk are probably used to being addressed as "poster material", but this is the first time they've been recruited for material posteriors. That Bobert, always breaking new ground!! :D A |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Severn Date: 15 Aug 09 - 06:10 PM Better than being referred to as Im-poster Material, I guess..... Ain't nothin' like the real thing..... "Extra points for the posterior"......Sharp ones? Ow! That might hurt! |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Genie Date: 15 Aug 09 - 08:10 PM Well, Amos, I guess breaking new ground is better than breaking new wind, eh? Hey, Bobert, I wanna know where I can redeem all those BBBBB* points I accumulated from last year? Genie *Bobert's Blues Band Big Bootay |

Subject: RE: Getaway09 - other stuff than programming From: Janie Date: 15 Aug 09 - 10:57 PM Wondering if a clone to do something to the title of this thread so that it crosslinks as a related thread to the program thread? You know, when related threads appear at the top of the thread? Boy, am I high maintenance!

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Amos Date: 15 Aug 09 - 11:20 PM The trick to the sleep is to stay up late, get up early, and just sleep twice as hard as usual in between. A lot of coffee and other spices also helps. A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Barry Finn Date: 15 Aug 09 - 11:42 PM Janie, you oughta know how to do it by now. You stay up late, get up for breakfast, goback to bed till luch, no much happens from breakfast to lunch except a lot of burping. When you are up for luch you should be ready to go till way past you bedtime of 9:00. Watch & see how sister Dani does it she stays up till at least 11:00, she's a real party girl. Maybe you're just not eating enough Barry |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Genie Date: 16 Aug 09 - 12:12 AM Or you do what I did - twice - which is to stay up till about 5A and sleep through breakfast, then get up at least in time for lunch and maybe even for a 10:30 workshop. I hear lots of people complaining about the food, so I figure a little more sleep is worth more than breakfast anyway. (Just grab a couple nutrition bars and an apple or banana from the late night snack tray in the dining room and Voila! Breakfast in bed!) Plan B is to follow the lead of Marion and a couple of the rest of us and take a snooze on one of the couches in the cabin while Mick or Amos sings you a sweet bluesy or folksy lullabye. Then when Barry Finn comes in, 'round 4 AM, he'll revive you with a rollicking chantey. Works for me. G |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Bobert Date: 16 Aug 09 - 09:12 AM Part of the problem with sleeping is them squeaky nylon/rubber matresses that make more noise than the crazies who play in the room next to you all night long... I'm gonna check into seein' if my brother will let me stay on his boat which is less than 5 miles away in Deale, Md... No noisy neigbors and no squeaky beds... B~ |

Soo generous! *g* Hey, guys, have a great Getaway. It's highly unlikely I'll make it this year (but if I did make this year's, I almost certainly couldn't make next year's). I'll be thinking of you and very jealous! Genie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Barry Finn Date: 02 Sep 09 - 07:40 PM I read them Dani. But I didn't want to touch them with Amos's mouth, I'll let him dig his own hole. If your bed was squeaking maybe you need some lubicant, age can cause some rusting in certain areas. Barry |
