Subject: RE: Mudcatters at Getaway 2013. Roll call. From: Janie Date: 18 Sep 13 - 12:23 AM Fervently hoping you can make it next year, KT. Hope Ebbie is starting a similar fund. Amazing to me, the dedication folks have who don't live within a relatively easy drive, to save up to get there. Says a lot about the the wonderful experience the long dedication of people volunteering and involved with the FSGW has for so many of us who exist well outside the "Beltway." |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters at Getaway 2013. Roll call. From: maeve Date: 18 Sep 13 - 07:18 AM Have a wonderful time, everyone. I keep trying to imagine what the Getaway experience would be had I ever been able to attend. I'll look around to see what I can send for the auction at least. |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters at Getaway 2013. Roll call. From: Janie Date: 18 Sep 13 - 09:20 PM Better yet, maeve, auction off your contribution locally and start a "Getaway" nest egg so that you could grace us with your attendance! I don't doubt you could could get some help with the fees from the FSGW scholarship fund, but also understand there are other travel expenses. I have no doubt that you would love the experience of the Getaway, and also have no doubt the Getaway would love the experience of your attendance! |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters at Getaway 2013. Roll call. From: maeve Date: 19 Sep 13 - 04:45 AM Thanks for your encouragement, Janie, but no nest egg is possible. We don't even have inside running water or plasterboard walls yet. The Getaway is out of reach for me... for the time being, anyway. Y'all have fun. |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters at Getaway 2013. Roll call. From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 19 Sep 13 - 06:17 PM Sheryl and I will both be there. Although, we are coming from different directions this year and Sheryl will likely get there first. I have to go up to Atlantic City for a work conference the Wednesday before Getaway and won't be able to escape until sometime on Friday. Hopefully not too late in the day, but it's possible I won't make it to West River until midnight. -- Gary |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters at Getaway 2013. Roll call. From: GUEST,Amos Date: 20 Sep 13 - 09:56 AM Well, it gets closer and more exciting every day. The Brigadoon effect includes this pre-event salivation, knowing that the Magic Island is just around the corner. I suppose this is the way some young children get to feeling about going to Disneyland. A |

Bring on Brigadoon; I can hardly wait! Leaving for Maine next Thursday night and counting the days -- well, actually pretty much the minutes -- till then. See you soon. C |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters at Getaway 2013. Roll call. From: Lonesome EJ Date: 30 Sep 13 - 06:00 PM Since I am leading a Hank Williams workshop, I had considered being driven to the Getaway in the back of a Cadillac, but really, why tempt fate? So I am flying in, arriving Reagan at 12:27 pm. I have a rental car reserved. Anyone needing a ride down to the shindig is welcome to PM me and we'll try to work it out. |

From: Fred Maslan Date: 01 Oct 13 - 03:34 PM Well, I was planning to visit the Smithsonian Friday morning before Getaway, but with the government shutdown it is closed. Alternatives? The Corcoran Gallery, the Heurich House Museum. What else within easy walking distance? Fred |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters at Getaway 2013. Roll call. From: jacqui.c Date: 03 Oct 13 - 07:49 AM After the Maine pre-Getaway bash last evening at SINSULL's today will be a day of packing and preparation. We'll be taking Andrew and Carol to the bus station for their trek southward and then spending most of the day laundering and packing. I have been a very bad influence on Claire, who now has a lot more 'stuff', found in thrift stores and yard sales, so we are going to have to work out what can be mailed back to California and what she will take with her. I've got the Mummer's Play finery to sort out and an updated script to get done. Always at the last minute! See you all tomorrow! |
