Yes! The above link works.

Now to join the FSGW, you'll also want to fill out a membership form, which can be had here.

No requirement to be a member, though members receive a discount, and you can join when you register.

Many people show up on Friday after leaving work; since people leave work in places from Virginia to Connecticut and beyond, arrival times may vary, but by 8:30 p.m. or so, there's always informal good music going on Friday night.

Well, the registration form is complete, but the FSGW website is an experimental exercise in changeability, as we're slowly instigating a new system that takes the burden off of the webmaster and allows committee chairs to update their info.

Try this link to see if it produces a Getaway registration form. I'll produce a formal Mudcat link later this week, along with the brochure information.

Looks like I will be there! I am pretty excited about the opportunity and have been working out some of the travel details.

Can non-members attend? I see the website says members and friends ... I have friends from MD area who are not members, but may be interested in attending.

Also; when do people show up? Will most arrive on Fri night?

Thanks for the link with the driving directions. Charmion and I were thinking of taking the train or bus and possibly renting a car when we get there. We will be leaving from Ottawa. Does that sound practical?

Registrations will continue through September. We need to let Camp Ramblewood know how many are coming at least a couple of weeks in advance, but it's got a huge capacity, and there's room for as many as want to come.

since it happens in mid October, registration usually goes on thru part of September...Charlie will get it up soon, and all will have time to decide and plan...honest! Ask those Mudcatters who came the last two years..(the workshop schedule will be done right here at this computer ,so Rita (Ferrara) & I will keep up with whatever thread Charlie starts, and she will take workshop suggestions as July and August progress.

More info will be on the way soon. I finished the updated brochure and registration form for the FSGW newsletter earlier tonight, but my elves still need to proffread it for tpyos and other other errors. Then I can convert the thing to a .pdf file and maybe html code it for the FSGW webpage mentioned above. But not tonight.

Thanks Lorraine--

MaryMac--what she said--you're welcome to show up on Saturday night whenever you can. My first Getaway came on a very busy weekend and I was only there from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday morning wee hours, but I enjoyd it thoroughly, and later went on to become a full-time person (and--gasp--this year's chairperson!).

Lorraine--you could have waded through the detritus of our sewer-damp basement and logged on and used my cookie when you were over here earlier tonight, but I guess you didn't.

Fortunato- That slogan read 1932. I invented it to plug the first New Lost City Rambler concert in New York, and we distributed over 2000 tags to people who wore them without the foggiest notioon of what it was all about. On t'other side was a stylized blue eagle (remember the NRA, anyone?) holing a banjo and a guitar with the cryptic acronym:

NLCRA (or New Lost City Ramblers Admirer)

There's a copy of the tag in the old New Lost City Ramblers songbook. 1935 wan't nearly as interesting to return to.

See if you can get him to the Getaway! He'd be an invaluable asset to Mudcat, too, were he so inclined.

Marge and I have solid plans for attending. It truly is a musical and Mudcat highlight. I hope Big Mick can drag Patterson with him. And Mick, I know I haven't been around the Mudcat lately, but I want to lobby to be part of the layabout club.

Rita, I would be happy to help out in the performance workshop end. Perhaps a workshop on funny songs. I will be going to Commonground in July and will take a workshop on Worksongs with Sparky Rucker and Bob Zentz. Perhaps I'll have a few ideas in that area as well.

Don;t worry about a links section sopeople can find it from year to year. Each year, a fresh thread will, no doubt, be created.

Besides, the only reliable link would be to www.fsgw.org and then click on the Getaway. (The actual full URLs for the Getaway are subject to change from season to season and year to year.)

and Susan...I 'think' that there will be a new thread listinf plans & prices as dates approach for just this year...(since Ferrara lives right here, and will be doing the workshop schedule, I may have a tiny bit of influence in the matter...it would avoid this thread getting to 327 posts)( I can also go harass Charlie Baum, who is 15 minutes from me *grin*)

I have got to see Barry's Family. I canna believe that God would allow him to reproduce................LOL. I am going to try and take an extra day that week so I can leave on Thursday night instead of Friday after work. That way I can collapse on Friday morning........LOLA. How the hell am I going to sleep without you in the next bunk snoring and making a racquet like a one lung steam bilge pump, Barry????????

Jed, you have to make it, pal. You and Mario, and all the rest would make this one hell of a gathering. And could we make some great music. Now if I can just find a way to get Dave Swan to join his bride (Pam, you just have to come again!!!!), Rick to keep his part of the deal, and Patterson to let me pick him up on the way,..........and we could have a helluva good time and a bored meeting of Patterson, Fielding, Swan and Lane, Layabouts at Large and for Hire. I want to have a quorum so we can vote on a new member. I am proposing Dan Milner be added to the Bored of Defectors as a full padnuh. I have observed his technique and find his ability to layabout to be second to none. And his wife is, and possess', the appropriate amount of character to qualify as a spouse of a layabout. I knew she was right when he and I disappeared to do a little fishing, and she just gave us this "Boys and their toys" smirk.

I swear, BillD is getting downright sentimental in his decliningg years. Where's the old cynicism, Bill my boy?
I think the Mudcat is seriously eroding his crusty exterior. Not that he's getting any better looking, but he sure is getting sweeter.

Howsomever, in this case I agree with him. The Mudcatters are a breath of fresh air for the Getaway. I'm looking forward to meeting more of you face to face, myself.
