Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Sep 08 - 09:31 PM Evidently only a dozen or so people are planning to attend. Actually, I'm trying to provoke someone else into listing those who are (or should be) committed. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bill D Date: 01 Sep 08 - 09:39 PM *grin*.. we DO have a few local folks who never read this site. (and if you manage to push the attendence near 200, Charley, you may be sharing a bunk!) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 01 Sep 08 - 10:28 PM Aw, c'mon, Charley, my registration (with check) was mailed off weeks ago!! Let me know if you haven't seen it yet!! A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Janie Date: 02 Sep 08 - 12:39 AM Looks like I'm gonna make it, as well as sister Annie. Will have to leave on Sunday for the first time, and won't be there until late Friday. But finally decided that exhausted by fun and fellowship trumps exhausted by angst. My perennial thanks to the cadre of FSGW people who make this restorative weekend possible for the rest of us. Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: GUEST,Dani Date: 02 Sep 08 - 09:26 AM HELP! I keep trying to download the form, and my IE/windows/whatever crashes every time. And, where it asks you to enter personal info if you want to register online, it doesn't appear to be a secure site. Help! I wanna come, too! Dani |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Charley Noble Date: 02 Sep 08 - 09:26 AM I'm bringing my sleeping bag just in case my check didn't clear. I can always sleep in the van! I'm still looking for a rider or two from Maine or New Hampshire (PM me if interested). I head down early on Friday but plan to stop in at NYC (Monday) and Gloucester (Tuesday sea music swap) on the way back for more singing. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 02 Sep 08 - 09:41 AM Well Mary and I are in !! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 02 Sep 08 - 10:12 AM Dani: You can download the form and then either fill it in electronically if you have the full Acrobat application, or print it out, fill it in with a pen, and mail it in. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 02 Sep 08 - 10:51 AM WHEEEE!! Annie! Janie! Dani! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: ClaireBear Date: 02 Sep 08 - 02:11 PM Hurrah! It will be grand to meet you at last, Dani -- and to see you again, Janie, and meet your sister. A general question, because I've forgotten since last year: Is this the thread where we are meant to post requests for help with such things such as the loan of a sleeping bag, rides from and to bus stations or airports and the like, or will/should another thread be started for that purpose? (I know it's early days; just wondering.) Thanks, Claire |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 02 Sep 08 - 02:18 PM It's shaping up for a Grande Systerehoode indeed--the most intense concentration of sheer pulchritude in one spot the East Coast has seen since Jackie roamed the White House. A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bobert Date: 02 Sep 08 - 03:00 PM What's "pulchritude" mean??? I was gettin' ready to fill out my registration but now I'm not so sure... B~ |

|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 02 Sep 08 - 07:01 PM ClaireBear - Jacqui and I will provide whatever you need. Just make a list. I use sheets and a blanket in the heated cabins. I hate sleeping bags. But I have an old bag (no Kendall - don't say it) for you. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Janie Date: 02 Sep 08 - 11:46 PM ....and it is unlikely to be very chilly in early October....lessin' a late season nor'easter blows in. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bobert Date: 03 Sep 08 - 07:57 PM Yeah, that's what they said about Camp Tumbleweed so I showed up with a sleeping bag and a wool army blanket and still got a frosted willie burger... Whatever that is??? We supposed to bring our own sheets and blankies, I reckon??? Geeze... I thought they'd have 'um and have our beds all made up with a little chocolate candy on the pillow waitin' fir us??? But, what the hay, they 'sposed to be heated but from what I understand the womenz is gonna get things so stoked up durin' the day that the camp will stay 'round 80 degrees all night... Ahhhhh, I'm gonna get there by lunch Sunday... I gotta a gig Saturday so that's the earlist I can get there... Is the lunch gonna be okay 'er is it gonna be the Tumbleweed menu??? Awww, jus funnin'... (No, I'm not...) Hey, what's this here about alkeeee-hooollll??? They gonna give us breath-lizers and make us walk straight lines??? They gonna go thru our suitcases looking fir flasks, 'er what... I was tolt that as long as we was kinda cool and weren't falling down drunk and throwin' empty beer cans out the cabin windows that all would be okay??? That still (pun not inteneded) the case???

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: GUEST,Dani Date: 03 Sep 08 - 08:07 PM When I click on the link to download the form, every time I get the 'internet explorer has encountered a problem and must close' blablablah and then my whole computer locks up with just the margin of the fsgw page, and a blank white screen. It's not my adobe, I use that all the time.... HELP! Dani |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 03 Sep 08 - 08:28 PM Dani: If you can, just do File Print --never mind, I'll send you a copy... A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 03 Sep 08 - 08:32 PM I emailed you a blank Reg Form in PDF. You should be able to open it with Reader, print it out and fill it in. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bill D Date: 03 Sep 08 - 09:45 PM Bobert...re: alkihoool...the Methodist camp will not like us if they see any evidence of it. We have managed 2 years there now, and they seem to have not found reason to DISlike us. We need to keep it that way. (The Getaway has functioned like this for most of 40 years...Camp "Tumbleweed", for all its chilly nights and strangeness was the ONLY place we ever went where a Bluesman could be openly...ummm.. so, a word to the wise & clever should do it. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 03 Sep 08 - 10:25 PM Ladies - Bobert wants a mint on his pillow. Anybody ready to do Maid Service? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Genie Date: 03 Sep 08 - 11:56 PM Well, if ol' Amos and Hugh (The Banjoest) can bamBOOZle the fuzz at Balboa Park, I'd say the Methodists should be a piece o' cake. ;D |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Janie Date: 04 Sep 08 - 12:07 AM Bobert, even your skinny a$$ will be warm at this camp. We had to open the windows to get it cool enough to sleep. I ain't got no feathers. J |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 04 Sep 08 - 12:17 AM An' she don't usually do mints either, as I understand it... A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: GUEST,Dani Date: 04 Sep 08 - 06:59 AM Yup, that worked! It'll be in the mail today! The service around here is excellent, mint or no mint. Speaking of which, how's the room service?! Dani |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bobert Date: 04 Sep 08 - 07:46 AM Janie, It weren't the cabin but all you hot womenz in it... B;~) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: MegW Date: 09 Sep 08 - 01:56 PM Does anyone know the best way to get from the Baltimore airport to the camp? I'm trying to force my schedule into order so I can make it for the entire thing, but I'm not sure how to work out the transportation. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bill D Date: 09 Sep 08 - 02:12 PM Best route, or alternate forms of transportation? Easiest way is to rent a car at the airport...it's a pretty easy drive from there. If anyone is coming FROM that area, or getting in about the same time, it could be even easier. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Fortunato Date: 09 Sep 08 - 02:22 PM Dani, Janie, et al Don't forget: FORTUNATO'S PRE-GETAWAY SINGAROUND/JAM! Thursday, OCT 2nd Silver Spring, MD Held annually 7:00pm until Potluck for locals, Veg Chili and some drinks provided. Travelers need only bring voices and instruments. PM me with rsvps, please, for directions, location if necessary. always a pleasure cheers, chance |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: MegW Date: 09 Sep 08 - 02:29 PM Thanks Bill, I'll look into that again. I was scared away at first because of the costs, but it's looking like the only other remotely sensible option is a cab, and, well... Incidentally, is anyone getting into the Baltimore airport Friday afternoon/evening and planning on leaving Monday morning? :) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: ClaireBear Date: 09 Sep 08 - 03:50 PM Oh good, someone else went first asking about airport transport. Me too! I have a ride to the Getaway, but not from, and I need to get to Dulles -- but I don't need to get there at any particular time, as I'm not flying out until Tuesday morning. Can anyone get me close, or to a form of transportation (bus, car rental counter, train...) that can get me close? I remember a very kind man telling me last year that he lived or worked near there and could be asked for rides, but I am sorry to say I cannot recall who that was. I hope he reads this! Cheers, Claire |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Janie Date: 17 Sep 08 - 11:38 PM If I can still count (and maybe I can't) 15 days until the magic begins.... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 17 Sep 08 - 11:51 PM WhoooWheeeeee. I swan, this will make the Mad Hatter's Tea Party look like a Council on Foreign Relations meeting. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 18 Sep 08 - 07:51 PM Is it just me, or are the Getaway threads a bit quieter comin' round the final turn than usual. I'm startin' to worry--does this mean that some of the nuttiness being planned is too insane to even be discussed in the open? ;-) -- Gary |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Genie Date: 18 Sep 08 - 09:16 PM Nah, Gary. We're just all too busy packing. ; D Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 18 Sep 08 - 10:09 PM And those of us travelling Three Thousand Miles or so have a lot of Internet work to do , with Insurance , Car Hire etc etc ! But its only two weeks to Go !! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 08 - 01:30 AM I dunno...Mary's not threatening Mick...Gary could be right. There may be wickedness afoot in the land... A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 19 Sep 08 - 07:22 AM You DO have to watch out for The Maineiacs !! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 19 Sep 08 - 08:09 AM I have a little something planned for Mick but I need a baby to pull it off. Barry has not been a good boy so he may be in for some abuse - we'll see. Mostly we just got over John Roberts. The Portsmouth Festival is coming up. Andrew and Carole are staying here and Micca later. So I am spending an inordinate amount of time laundering sheets and airing sleeping bags. Then we come back to a Cindy Kallet concert followed by Gordon Bok, both requiring more than the usual prep time. In short, life is good and filled with music. Somewhere around here I have feathers but they are probably turkey or chicken, hardly the tools of a temptress. Can I bring my whale tambourine? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bobert Date: 19 Sep 08 - 08:59 AM Claire, I might be able to get you back to Dulles but it would be on Monday... PM me... I'll be on the road today but check back later this evening... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 08 - 09:51 AM MAry: You can bring the feathers, but not the whole duck; you may bring the tambourine, but not the rest of the whale. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Charmion Date: 19 Sep 08 - 10:18 AM I will be driving south from Ottawa, leaving on Thursday 2 October and arriving at West River on Friday 3 October. Marion from Toronto is coming with me; she will take the train from Toronto to Ottawa on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Peg in Albany will not be joining us -- work got in the way. I would love to be able to make the Shivers' sing on Thursday night, but leaving Ottawa before Thursday morning is just not possible this year. Marion has accepted the onerous job of minding the map, and we will flop in some cheap (but not nasty) motel near the highway. I've never been to a Getaway without Edmund before. It's going to be strange ... |
