Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: MMario Date: 16 Oct 07 - 02:43 PM I think I'm safe to say "yes" - local niece has had tubes tied, the one in Japan is too expensive to visit; and the one in Massachusetts probably won't even inform me. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bobert Date: 16 Oct 07 - 07:40 PM Clair, Next year I will have either worked myself outta the pickle (3 major construction projects) or I'll be 6 feet in the cold, cold ground... Don't much matter... I'm a bluesman... Now if I ain't in the cold, cold ground I'll be there, prolly with my harp player... I'll just tell him we got booked to play up in Maryland, then surprise him with 3 days of insanity and lousy food... "Hey, R.W., can't ya' take a danged joke???" I promise.... B~ |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: ClaireBear Date: 16 Oct 07 - 07:45 PM Well all right, then though it'll be a real hardship to come twice (grin). Thank you both! Claire |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: KT Date: 16 Oct 07 - 10:52 PM Oh, good! If I come next year, Bobert, will you let me join your band? Mmario, you have got to be the world's greatest uncle! It's lucky kids who are told, "Leo's your uncle!" KT |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Janie Date: 16 Oct 07 - 10:59 PM MMario m'luv - any new babies come due in fall of next year, tell their parents the youngin's are just gonna have to stay heathen 'til after the Getaway -AND- I believe the dates for next year are already set, so you can tell 'em all to schedule their fornicating accordingly! (Did I really just say that?) uhmmmm, or at least, the christening/baptism. Dang, Bobert. The FSGW finally found a place with heat for the sole purpose of keeping yer skinny little bluesman butt warm, and here you are, buggin' out two years in a row!. I'm plumb scared they'll move it a campground and change the date to January next year, just to spite you! Seriously, I will really miss you guys and Sins, and Ebbie and KT, and all the UK folks, and so many others that I have had the joy and pleasure of meeting once upon at least one Getaway. And I look forward to meeting Claire and any other lovers of the music that brings us all together. Amos, will you be sporting a new hat for us this year? (Not that last year's wasn't most handsome:>) Oh yeh. DON'T FORGET THE SILENT AUCTION! Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Janie Date: 16 Oct 07 - 11:10 PM Genie, As I was typing my last post, I was trying to remember if you had said you could work it out to come this year. I've got serious CRS. If so, let's steal LEJ's new Mustang and go for a joyride. Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Amos Date: 17 Oct 07 - 12:55 AM It will be a new hat of the same model. I was so fond of it I had to replace it when it was stolen by a tourist along Santa Cruz' boardwalk -- if not eaten by an elephant. A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Janie Date: 17 Oct 07 - 09:56 PM Amos, please, please, ppllleeeeeze do not get eaten by an elephant before the Getaway! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Amos Date: 17 Oct 07 - 10:46 PM These Tilley hats are special -- they come with an owner's manual, and a little packet of success stories, one of which was submitted by an animal keeper whose Tilley hat was stolen and swallowed by an elephant. He loved the hat so much he waited for it to re-appear, cleaned it up and continued wearing it. This happened three times!! The Tilley company was so impressed they offered him a brand new one of they could have the one that had been through the elephant three times for their product museum; the keeper was unimpressed and vowed he would never part with his hat. Unfortunately the tourists in Santa Cruz are less accomodating that way than elephants, A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: artbrooks Date: 17 Oct 07 - 11:11 PM Sound like a lot of s**t, Amos. I was accused of wearing a Tilly hat the other day, but was able to prove that it was an REI clone. We are still planning on '08, but herself just sprung on me that her doll cult is meeting in Portland, OR middle of October next. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Fortunato Date: 18 Oct 07 - 10:29 AM doll cult? DOLL CULT? just wait 'til 'spaw reads this, NOTE TO SELF: I musn't open this thread anymore |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: Jon Bartlett Date: 22 Oct 07 - 02:34 AM Can anyone provide Getaway dates for 2008? Cheers! Jon Bartlett |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: artbrooks Date: 22 Oct 07 - 08:23 AM This is Jenn. I am being maligned, as usual. Doll cult? He should live so long! Anyway, as soon as he pointed out the conflict, the issue was decided. Even I, even though it will break my own poor also doll- besotted (let's not go there) sister's heart, would much rather be at Getaway than exchanging doll bon mots with other people who are mostly there to sell stuff anyway. So let's all be kind, here, ok, and Fortunato, I think it's safe to read this thread. As safe as anything on Mudcat to the sensitive, anyway--Jenn |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bill D Date: 22 Oct 07 - 09:58 AM Jon... October 3-6, 2008. Hope that means you might make it. We can sing "The Hippies & Beatniks" for them... |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Amos Date: 22 Oct 07 - 10:02 AM I think, in light of your fine decision, we should request Spaw to send your sister a doll as compensation. I think he has a few left over from that great adventure with Khandu last year... A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Fortunato Date: 22 Oct 07 - 02:34 PM jenn, thank you for clarifying the doll thing. we already have enough excitment around here with this bunch preparing for this annual lunacy cleverly disguised as a folk society event. chance |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: beardedbruce Date: 22 Oct 07 - 02:36 PM Chance, Anything in particular that I can bring, or will a case of Old Dominion do? Bruce |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: beardedbruce Date: 22 Oct 07 - 02:38 PM sorry- that was for other thread... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: CET Date: 22 Oct 07 - 09:39 PM This has probably been answered before, and in any case I should remember from last year. However, will we need to bring sleeping bags and pillows? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bill D Date: 22 Oct 07 - 10:03 PM yes...everyone will need to bring bedding. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: MMario Date: 26 Oct 07 - 12:24 PM Had dinner with my great-niece and her family last night - I broached the suggestion that I take her to MD and have her baptised there. Her mother offered me her oldest daughter (5.5 years old) if I would leave her in MD. Her father promised me a painful death. She spit up on me. But that's okay - because middle sister and I had a good long snuggle - with two kittens! (sometimes 4 kittens) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Janie Date: 26 Oct 07 - 08:59 PM If anyone is flying in and would rather not fool with trying to bring bedding/sleeping bags/pillows, towells, etc., send me a pm. I'll be glad to bring some for you. To the best of my knowledge, I am the only bedbug that has ever infested any of them:^) Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bill D Date: 27 Oct 07 - 12:38 PM I, too, can provide a set of bedding for such situations. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Amos Date: 31 Oct 07 - 06:01 PM Well, it's the night before Xmas sorta kinda time around here. In my head anyway. Tomorrow night I am on an overnight flight to the fabled East Coast, which I am sure still exists because I occasionally get phone calls from people claiming to be there. But more than that, because I go out there once a year to sing my fool head off. Can't wait. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Nancy King Date: 31 Oct 07 - 06:28 PM At this point the weather forecast looks pretty good: rain-free, if a bit chilly. Days in the upper 50s to low 60s, nights in the low 40s. That might not seem "chilly" to some of you, but it's been only about a week since we had temps in the 90s, and we're not used to fall weather yet... Looking forward to seeing all of you! Nancy |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bill D Date: 31 Oct 07 - 06:39 PM " to sing my fool head off." The ground will be littered with 'fool heads' if past experience says anything. Fortunately, they do grow back...usually with more songs stuffed inside.. we're waiting!.....hey...maybe *I'd* better go pack! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: jacqui.c Date: 31 Oct 07 - 06:50 PM Just finished the Mummers' play costumes and am working out what else needs to be packed in the van before we set off tomorrow. Can't wait! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Janie Date: 31 Oct 07 - 07:04 PM I'm headed out tomorrow too. Gonna take the looong way via the Eastern Shore to spend the night with sister Annie. We'll follow each other over to West River on Friday. Last call if anyone flying in wants me to bring pillows, sleeping bag, blankets, towells, etc. See all ya'll shortly, if not before then! Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: Dan Schatz Date: 31 Oct 07 - 09:14 PM I'll be there on Friday night and Saturday by myself, I'm afraid, since Geeta has some other family commitments. However, I'm heading home after the concert on Saturday night and will be back Sunday with the whole family - including young Kiran - so be patient; there's plenty of baby for everyone on Sunday. Dan Schatz |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Amos Date: 31 Oct 07 - 10:34 PM Damn, Dani!! Can't you change your plans? Sigh. We will just have to celebrate your existence from afar. Just like on the 'Cat. Nevertheless I aim to have a mighty fine weekend. :D A |
