Probably comatose under a barrel of Woodchuck somewhere... or been beaten to death for snoring.

Well, we've not heard from him for a bit, JJ- think they've left him tied up in a log cabin somewhere? Or does Sinsull have other plans for him???

How much do you think we'd have to pay those nice 'catters in the States to keep Micca??

Thanks to all of you who came and those who wished us well. It was a great night. I got to hear Barry Finn sing for the first time, a mighty voice. Micca sang us his new song! Dispite being up well into his second day, and a few ciders to the goood, Micca sprang up on Friday morning fit as a fiddle and ready to play. Thanks all. best regards, Chance

Damn Damn and triple damn.

I can't be there!! Too much to do for this weekends gig, and my honey is not available to help with the kid (bedtime creeps up awfully early when your in elementary school).

I would have loved to have met you, Micca! Maybe someday, I'll make it out to your side of the pond.

Just to dispel the rumor. While Camp Ramblewood may at times be a clothing optional situation, the Royal Mile is not. In fact, the management insists that everyone remain fully clothed at all times. This is particular true for Micca's singaround.

Bill D. this means you.

OOO OOO OOOOOO!!! Count me in! I'll be there, a capella, but I'll be there (unless I can convince the guitarist from my group to show too).

Can't wait to meet some of you lot, especially those that it would be otherwise hard to run across on the street. It's a long walk from DC to London! :D

Mrrzy? You coming?

So Micca, there's a cider made in Vermont called Woodchuck. They have a tart apple up there called the Granny Smith. The cider they make from it has only 11g of sugar in 355ml. Which much lower that any cider I can find. If you think you might like that we can get some for the getaway.

I can't afford to lose anymore brain cells, thank you very much, I'm running at half speed already. Oh, sorry about the dance of the virgins, we haven't been able to certify anyone.

Oh well, the pub owner ordered a case hoping it would replace the Strongbow he couldn't get for you. Surely SOMEONE will drink the stuff. We must have a few 'ylwadw' (young looneys with a death wish) in Wheaton. Get some rest old chum. We want you fully charged for the Getaway!

Well, I was just up at the 'Mile, checking on prepartions. The red carpet is in, and the the rose petals and baskets are ready, however there appears to be a lack of virgins to strew them at Micca's feet as he enters. We had a lady who danced the "Flight of the Virgin", but apparently she performs it from memory. Any volunteers?

I think I may be able to swing leaving Thrusday AM to make this, might as well I'll be hitting the Getaway anyway, what a great excuse, I think that the boss would go for it, just have to work on an ok from the wife & kids. I can always camp in the truck but a spot on someone's floor wouldn't be thought as to underneath me(hint?). Barry

Noreen - I don't think we will ever convert Dinosaur Derek to the Mudcat community and, while we are speaking for him, why does he need to bother? Still he's going to the US and not me, so he can't be doing too bad, can he?!
I hope both Micca and Derek enjoy the gathering!

I told Dinosaur Derek this evening that he's got a mention on the Mudcat, and he was predictably underwhelmed... we'll convert him yet! :0)

Derek Seed being the leader of the Shellback Chorus, with which I and several other catters sing regularly at festivals.

Derek mentioned he was heading your way, but wasn't precise about where he was going. Say hello to him from us!

You are all going to have a wonderful time.
