Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: maeve Date: 06 Apr 08 - 09:22 PM And all this time I thought I was missing hours of wonderful music by missing years of Getaways. My informants must have been speaking in code. Gullible me! Have fun, fortunate Getaway-ers! Will you please sing one song loudly enough for me to hear your joyful noise? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Genie Date: 07 Apr 08 - 02:27 AM I never doubted your intentions for a minute, Mick. ; ) |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Genie Date: 07 Apr 08 - 02:28 AM BTW, good songs, those, Giok and Amos! *g* |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: freda underhill Date: 07 Apr 08 - 03:52 AM thanks for the links Art and Bill, it's possible I may be able to get there, if certain things happen this year, so I'll keep my eye on the thread & my fingers crossed! freda |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: ranger1 Date: 07 Apr 08 - 07:40 AM We will also keep our fingers crossed that you get here Freda. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: jacqui.c Date: 07 Apr 08 - 07:49 AM And just about everything else. I have had the privilege of spending some time with Freda and to connect with her again would just be outstanding! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: ranger1 Date: 07 Apr 08 - 07:55 AM And I want to show Freda that the water really does swirl down the drain clockwise! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 07 Apr 08 - 09:20 AM Am I the only one who saw that that picture is NOT of KoKo? Mick, what have you been up to? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: MMario Date: 07 Apr 08 - 09:31 AM Mick is two-timing KOKO? That man lives dangerously! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bill D Date: 07 Apr 08 - 12:34 PM Monkey business! Can she type & file? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 07 Apr 08 - 12:36 PM Well, be reasonable. It was a gift. The imminent peril of looking a gift gorilla in the mouth outweighs all theoretical considerations. A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 07 Apr 08 - 12:51 PM Amos, What are you smioking and can I have some? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 07 Apr 08 - 12:52 PM 165 posts and so far all we have is a shanty workshop - we get those all the time in Maine. Anything else in the works? Or shall I unearth the blow up costumes for a reprise of Ghost Riders? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Big Mick Date: 07 Apr 08 - 12:56 PM Listen.... and do so for comprehension ....... AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!Love, Mick |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Nancy King Date: 07 Apr 08 - 01:11 PM Mary, there is LOTS more in the works, but it is all in a definitely preliminary stage right now. We will be meeting very soon to sketch out a list of possible workshops and talk about whom to invite as special guests (there is a much-too-long list of potential guests at this point). It sounds like we'll get a really good crowd (um, by that I mean quantity, not necessarily quality... heh, heh...) this year, so I predict a fantastically splendid weekend. Not that we've ever had a bad one in forty-some years! Y'all come! Nancy |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 07 Apr 08 - 01:21 PM So does that "quality" crack ,mean that I should leave the blow up costumes at home????? I will be there this year, Nancy. And on my best behavior, Mick. You can breathe a sigh of relief. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Nancy King Date: 07 Apr 08 - 01:33 PM Wellll, you could take it that way.... |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Genie Date: 08 Apr 08 - 01:49 AM Mick, you mean Koko's not coming wit' yez? ! I was kinda looking forward to meeting the fuzzy one. (And does Koko play an instrument?) G |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 09 Apr 08 - 02:12 PM Refresh. Roger in Baltimore |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Tinker Date: 09 Apr 08 - 03:12 PM Roger you promised me a new song for this year .... I'm waiting and I've found a duet that Mick chickened out on awhile back. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 09 Apr 08 - 04:58 PM Yeah, Tinker, I did. I will PM you about it in a day or two. My plans are to be at the Getaway. Roger in Baltimore |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 23 Jun 08 - 07:47 PM Reeeeeeeeee-FRESH!!!! A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 23 Jun 08 - 08:42 PM Oct 3-6 just won't work for me this year, and I had my heart set on it. SHUCKS!! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Charley Noble Date: 23 Jun 08 - 08:57 PM I'm planning on being there this fall. Is there another shanty session being planned? Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SussexCarole Date: 24 Jun 08 - 02:52 AM Our flights are booked - see you there Carole & Andrew |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 24 Jun 08 - 06:33 AM SilverSmith will be there too MY flight is booked and Mary is already in Virginia ! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: jacqui.c Date: 24 Jun 08 - 07:14 AM We'll be there! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 24 Jun 08 - 08:16 AM I will be there. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 24 Jun 08 - 09:24 AM Gawdammit, LEJ!!! Change those life-plans right now!!!! A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: MMario Date: 24 Jun 08 - 09:25 AM I'm double checking on the family wedding - since I haven't heard a word since. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: curmudgeon Date: 24 Jun 08 - 09:48 AM Some of you cross-ponders, and others, might want to think about Carle and Andrew's lead and come over a week early. That way you can take in The Portsmouth (NH) Maritine Folk Festival. It's a beautiful time of year, hotel rooms are less dear, as is the price of lobster. We've assembled a crew of many of the finest maritime singers imaginable. And the festival is free. See you in September - Tom |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Barry Finn Date: 24 Jun 08 - 10:51 AM I'll be at both places but not at the same time. Tom I think that's a month early. The end of Sept & the end of Oct. But I sure we can handle any mudcatters that can tolerate the Northeast for that long. We won't get snow till March. Barry |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: curmudgeon Date: 24 Jun 08 - 10:56 AM Check your dates, Barry. The Getaway, this year, is the weekend after the Maritime Festival. That's how we managed to book Carole and Andrew - Tom |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: artbrooks Date: 24 Jun 08 - 11:06 AM We're coming, and would love to register. Howsomever, the FSGW page still has the 2007 registration blank at the "get your snail mail form here" link and there is no on-line registration (even though the page says there is). FSGW folks - can this get fixed? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bill D Date: 24 Jun 08 - 11:18 AM Art..We 'locals' never expect registration forms to show up before mid-Summer....we have been trying to increase lead time now that it has become an international event. Look for new information soon...(Charlie Baum will read this and no doubt be galvanized into exuberant action...☺) |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Fortunato Date: 24 Jun 08 - 11:44 AM The weather should be grand, early enough before the rains and still warm from summer. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: ClaireBear Date: 24 Jun 08 - 11:45 AM I still plan to come to both events (Maritime Folk Festival and Getaway) -- and I still can't wait! Claire |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Barry Finn Date: 24 Jun 08 - 11:47 AM Thanks Tom, I would've been late, glad you caught me catching you. Barry |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: MMario Date: 24 Jun 08 - 12:02 PM Kay-rap;; just confirmed with the bride that I wasn't imagining it; I will be attending a wedding that weekend. *%)$%)(%) ! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bat Goddess Date: 24 Jun 08 - 12:12 PM It looks like you'll just have to come to Portsmouth for your Mudcat fix, Leo. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 24 Jun 08 - 12:59 PM I am grinding my teeth hoping the family budget doesn't let me down. I have attended faithfully for three years now, and I would hate to break the winning streak!! :D Besides, its the only vacation I get! A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bill D Date: 24 Jun 08 - 05:08 PM Boy, I am imagining what the fare/gas increases PLUS normal budget restraints are doing to our long-distant visitors. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Micca Date: 24 Jun 08 - 05:11 PM I booked flights today.....!!!!!! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: artbrooks Date: 24 Jun 08 - 05:16 PM Bill, I expect that the changes in the exchange rate will help those from the UK, at least a little, but I'd guess our drive East will cost about twice what it did in 2006. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 24 Jun 08 - 07:45 PM Dollar / pound rate today was $1.97 , and we are paying around £1.20 a litre for unleaded which is nearly $10 per US Gallon !! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: TRUBRIT Date: 25 Jun 08 - 12:10 AM Not me - I think - not this time......Amos -- I thought you were an attendee from 100 years back not a newbie like me....... |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Janie Date: 25 Jun 08 - 12:28 AM I'm guessing that anyone thinking of flying should commit and book flights now, as air fares are only going to go higher. For those of us who have frequent flyer miles that we are not likely to use, do they have to be used by the person who accumulates them, or can that person use them to book a flight for some one else, if we were inclined to donate them so some one could attend the Getaway? |
