Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Charley Noble Date: 03 Oct 11 - 05:37 PM Thanks for re-posting the message about Rose, Colin and Olivia. It's not nice to be somewhere else when you knew everyone is having great fun at the Getaway. Just got a call from Bradfordian confirming that he is coming into Portland, Maine, on the Downeaster, not via U. S. Air. That does make a difference in terms of where I wait for him. I wonder how many tons of CDs he's carrying. Cheerily, Charley Noble

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: JennyO Date: 03 Oct 11 - 08:15 AM I'm waiting to hear from freda underhill, who no doubt is enjoying herself there, for the first time. Maybe one day we'll make it too, but we have so much family scattered all over the globe now that we have to save the money to visit them! My consolation is that the weather here in the UK has been absolutely brilliant for the last week - an indian summer to make up for the summer we didn't have when we should have had it. According to the forecasts, it's due to go back to normal (for here) tomorrow, with the usual cool cloudy days with rain, and even hail predicted for Thursday. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Charley Noble Date: 03 Oct 11 - 07:35 AM What, no full report? Looking forward to picking up Bradfordian at the Portland airport this evening, if he wakes up in time for his flight. Did Rose and Colin ever make it to the Weekend? Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: SINSULL Date: 02 Oct 11 - 07:36 PM It has been raining here since Friday night. Backyard is a swamp and the maple tree is shedding in the downpour. No leaf peeping this year. Hope you all stayed dry although the sound of rain on the cabin roof can be pleasant. Waiting for updates... SINS |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: jacqui.c Date: 02 Oct 11 - 07:14 PM Rose, Colin and Olivia got here OK. This has been a wonderful weekend, as usual. Lots of great music and so many dear friends to catch up with. I got to bed early both nights - 2am Friday and 3am last night - had great stitch and bitch session with Jennifer Woods, ClaireBear and other assorted night owls last night. Kendall's workshop went really well - his story went over really well. We're just waiting for the Sunday night concert to start. More later.......... |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 11 - 09:03 PM Bradfordian- It just gets better and better, but do make an effort to pace yourself, and avoid the Peace Lodge (probably too late!!!). ;~) Look forward to a full report, if you make it to Maine on Monday. How did you manage to get through U. S. Customs with 500 Mudcat CDs? Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: bradfordian Date: 30 Sep 11 - 08:16 PM It's Friday evening. I'm at the Getaway. Thank you for the ride AHJ. Game On! And I've had my hands the NEW MUDCAT CDs. Lovely to see a bunch of US 'catters I've met before, some who are on the MUDCAT CDs, and looking to make friends with many more. Looks like I'm the sole UK rep this year. Many thanks to Gene and Sandra for their pre Getaway party/crab fest and hospitality -- much appreciated, (--- Them crabs aure are hard work!) bradfordian |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Maryrrf Date: 30 Sep 11 - 04:15 PM I have avoided reading this thread because I can't come this year and I'm going to miss it dreadfully, but I hope everybody who goes has a grand time, as always and I'm NOT going to miss 2012, unless of course the Mayan calendar is right and the world ends.... |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Tinker Date: 30 Sep 11 - 03:56 PM UGH!!! Car won't start here in West Park NY and Mechanics won't see it till tomorrow ... not looking good to get there this year. sounds like the ignition coil again.... but who knows. I am not amused. I've been trying to come up with options, Hubby will pick me up tonight, but not sure how to get things sorted and get out there this late. UGH!! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 11 - 01:36 PM I certainly hope that Siochain and Colin make it to West River. Please provide update. We worry about our dear friends. It's nice and sunny here in Maine. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,Miriam Kilmer Date: 30 Sep 11 - 10:57 AM Tim Slattery and I will be there. We're still looking for a base or tenor with a strong voice - someone who knows the songs or can read music - to help us make this a memorable Sacred Harp workshop on Saturday morning (in a good way!) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Nancy King Date: 30 Sep 11 - 10:43 AM If you haven't left yet, you might want to consider bringing some rain gear. The forecast has changed. Not a washout, by any means, but about a 40% chance of showers each day. Sigh. Ah well, I guess we'll just have to have a good time anyway... See you later! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: jacqui.c Date: 30 Sep 11 - 06:53 AM We're now in Vermont and Midchuck (Peter Cady) is cooking breakfast before we get on the road for the almost nine hour journey to Maryland. Getaway, here we come! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,mg Date: 30 Sep 11 - 12:48 AM If you live on West Coast USA and can't afford Getaway, come to Sunnycamp Oct 7..Long Beach Peninsula..very small scale but very nice. I hope. Never sure if the maybes are coming or not, in which case I will have a lot of huckleberries I picked for naught. mg |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 29 Sep 11 - 08:43 PM Might not know what I'm talking about, but it looks like Greenbelt is on the Metro. Wondering, if siochain et.al. could take the metro to somewhere in or near Washington or the light rail to Baltimore, if some one could help out. Maybe a couple of some ones if rider and gear space is an issue? Maybe some folks could help on the trip down and some one or several folks else on the trip back? Is a car rental an option? |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Jeri Date: 29 Sep 11 - 08:24 PM I hope somebody give Siochain and the kids a ride. Wonderful people with great voices, which you know if you heard her and Colin last year. Please help my buds! |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Big Mick Date: 29 Sep 11 - 08:24 PM C'MON PEOPLE, help Siochan out!! I wish I could but it is not possible. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Leadfingers Date: 29 Sep 11 - 07:51 PM Good Luck , but from UK I cant help ! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,siochain Date: 29 Sep 11 - 07:32 PM Well, this IS turning into an adventure! We still haven't made a connection to get from Greebelt, MD to West River - and once we push off at 5:30 tomorrow morning, we will be off-line. Into the unknown we go. |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Leadfingers Date: 29 Sep 11 - 07:17 PM Someone could REALLY annoy us Non Attendees by doing an On Line transmission of some of the workshops or the concert ! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 29 Sep 11 - 05:50 PM gnu, I expect the thread that will be started or refreshed once the Getaway is underway will be the Mudcat Tavern, where the rest of us jealous slobs can.... |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 29 Sep 11 - 01:08 PM I'm donating 3 large travel mugs to the scholarship auction and will designate them as "buy now" items, so if you need a mug, check the auction tables early. Midchuck, if you bring the extra sleeping bags I have no doubt they'll be appreciated, if only as extra padding on the not-so-soft cabin mattresses. Bradfordian, sorry about your wine-smuggling travails (what a loss!) but don't worry about having to be "dry" during Getaway. It is, after all, a Methodist camp site. See y'all very soon, accompanied by an Aussie and a Marylander. Genie |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Dan Schatz Date: 29 Sep 11 - 10:36 AM Jacqui and Kendall, I'm glad to hear everything is okay! Here's one more thing to bring - bug repellent. With all of the rain the Mid-Atlantic has had this year, the mosquitoes have been plentiful and fierce. Hopefully the cool weather this weekend will keep them at bay (so to speak) but it doesn't hurt to be prepared, in any case. Dan |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Dan Schatz Date: 29 Sep 11 - 10:23 AM More than most years, this Getaway is going to involve some painful decisions of where to go. What a great problem to have! Dan |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: jacqui.c Date: 29 Sep 11 - 10:21 AM Just on our way out - drive to Vermont and join forces with Midchuck for the long drive tomorrow. We had a bit of a scare - Kendall started with possible cold symptoms last night and we weren't sure, even this morning, if he would be fit to go. Turns out to be sinus trouble and visit to the pharmacy has sorted out what he needs. He's now feeling (and looks)100 times better than he did three hours ago so I don't have to do a solo act again! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Nancy King Date: 29 Sep 11 - 10:15 AM Bruce, thanks for reminding folks about the Auction. Do bring a contribution for it, BUT please remember that space is limited! Bring something, don't bring everything! |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,beardedbruce Date: 29 Sep 11 - 07:19 AM I should have a box of various strings. Guitar, banjo, mandolin, violin, viola, dulcimer, etc, plus a set of .009 to .022 gauge ( dozen of each gauge) in case I need to go fishing. It seems easiest just to bring the entire box- see me if you find yourself in need. Having a minor problem with the ginger ( they were out!) but am working on it. Will have a number of student violins/violas from $50 to $200 ( case and cheap (but usable) bow included) that I have been practicing repairs on. Any music teachers that want a bunch PLEASE see me! I will also bring my Octave Violin(s) and at least one chincello. Probably an Octave mandolin, as well. REMEMBER to bring items for the Auction! AND a MUG to save on paper cups! ( Some will be available for use, just donate to the Scholarship Fund.) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Siochain Date: 29 Sep 11 - 12:14 AM Greenbelt, MD is just off the Beltway. It is about 5 miles NE of College Park, 10.5 miles east of Silver Spring and about 29 miles NW of West River. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Siochain Date: 28 Sep 11 - 11:00 PM Three travelers will arrive in Greenbelt on Friday around 5:00 PM. We seek suggestions (or outright offers!) to get us to West River. Many thanks!!! Rose, Colin and Olivia |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: bradfordian Date: 28 Sep 11 - 10:44 PM I have got myself from to Toronto to Sandrolina's bash in Silver Springs just north of Washington DC. But I really want to give praise to the Washington taxi drivers. On arrival in Silver Springs, I got my luggage from the boot of the cab but as it was humid and dark, my jacket got overlooked. One hour later the cab driver turned up with the jacket. So I declare my gratitude. Thank you taxi drivers of Washington DC. But I can't extend that gratitude to the Boston airport security who confiscated my 4 bottles of wine for the party. I flew to Washington from Tornto via Boston, so I was expecting to not have to go thru security again! Doh (I'll just have a dry weekend!) bradfordian |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Midchuck Date: 28 Sep 11 - 09:38 PM If anyone still needs a sleeping bag to use, we have a couple of cheap old ones around the place - bought years ago when children were flying out to join us at Old Songs and didn't want to drag one along. Let me know before very early Friday am. P. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,Dani Date: 28 Sep 11 - 08:13 PM Packed: bhodhran, auction items (including cigar-box guitar), the sleeping bag I'm sharing with Joe (I... mean... lending to Joe). Next up: laundry, packing, hanging curtain rods (don't ask), prepping for post-Getaway catering gig, checking tires so as to safely and happily ferry Abby and myself, organizing music, a few hours of work, then... THERE! See you soon! Dani |
