Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: GUEST,Mudjack Date: 03 Jun 02 - 03:27 PM I just got word from Yakima Folklife, I'll be doing a Fri night at Tim's Basement, time not known yet, and possibly a Sat spot at the lawn stage. If I get out of there early enough, I should be there in time for the music. There is going to be music, isn't there? Mudjack |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 02 Jun 02 - 11:06 PM Francy, you said in This Thread that you might make it to Ellensburg for the July gathering while busking around the western US. Think you're gonna make it? |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: wysiwyg Date: 24 May 02 - 03:59 PM I'm gonna have to take myself off the list, I think. I gave serious thought to the "what if" aspect-- what if the money appeared by magic, to fly? I know how I could fit it all together, too-- get airfare from my mom to see her in LA and drive up from there with Amos, and back again, and fly back home out of LA. I could even stay in LA after the gathering to recupe. I had a great time playing with the idea of a gathering AND a road trip there and back with my dear, dear friend Amos. What a time THAT would be! *G* But the truth is, the trip itself is just out of my reach for sane self-care right now. I think in a year I could do it. See, theoretically, I could do it this year-- but then there are a lot of other things I would NOT be able to do, afterwards, because I'd be recovering. So thanks for wanting me-- I know you will all have a great time. But I gotta stay home and work on what's in front of me, this year. (But do make a cardboard cutout from my Mudcat photo so at least my cleavage can be there in absentia! *G* I am sure there is a Mudcat fundraser there of some sort!) love, ~Susan |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Deda Date: 24 May 02 - 03:46 PM Well if I won the lottery or were otherwise magically released from drudgery and obligations, I'd fly up there w/ my folkie son, just to be in the audience -- and maybe enter a boob-swinging contest or two. |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 24 May 02 - 02:29 PM oh and kat...well...it would be great to finally be able to pick on you in person.... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 24 May 02 - 02:27 PM no promises (or threats, depends on how you see it)...but if some one would pick me from the airport and it is within my budget.... |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: MMario Date: 24 May 02 - 02:18 PM on the other hand - how many of you western, northwestern, southwestern peoples can we talk into the FSGW Getaway weekend? hmmmm? |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: katlaughing Date: 24 May 02 - 02:09 PM We've got an airport right here, but I've been told to fly with O2 one has to drive to an airport about 3 hours away. I think flying would be out of league with our pockets this fall, anyway, darlin'...have to see if Rog feels like a long weekend "jaunt" but I'm not holding my breath.:-) Sure sounds like a lot of fun, tapes AND pix, ya'll!!! |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amos Date: 24 May 02 - 01:43 PM Me too -- 1200 miles, or 20 hours driving time -- maybe the roads go faster along the magnetic meridians, huh? :>) Tell ya what, MM -- make it to San Diego and we can roll up that open road along the Pacific Coast together! :>) Surely you need to attend a business conference for network strategies out here, doncha? A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: katlaughing Date: 24 May 02 - 01:38 PM Damn. Just checked MapQuest, it is over one thousand miles, est. just under 20 hours drive-time. If I runamok from here to there would it shorten the time and distance? |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 24 May 02 - 01:33 PM You are feeling envy, MMario? Odd...I am feeling nothing but fear....thinking I should disguise myself....wonder if that would work... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: MMario Date: 24 May 02 - 01:21 PM Aine, and WYSIWYG and JenEllen and Genie and.... IN ONE LOCATION?!?!?! I feel a real serious envy coming on here.... |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 24 May 02 - 01:11 PM Áine, great to hear you're planning to attend! And Amos, too? Our cup runneth over! [Oh, no! Not another bra allusion!] But how many songs about firecrackers are there? *G* Glad to know I''ve got company in wanting to lose 40 lb. in 8 weeks (though I take no joy in knowing why you are in that situation). I've gotta do it in 7, though. Ya can't go on a diet during Northwest Folklife Festival. It's against Washington state law. Amergin, if you show up in drag, I'm sure us broads'd all be willing to chip in to pay your admission fee! Jen, Daily doses of Vitamin 'F'? I'm trying to guess what the "F" stands for. (I've got it narrowed to 3 options--all of which would be revitalizing.) Genie

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 24 May 02 - 12:41 PM I have a feeling that impacted songs will be the least of our worries, but in case of dire (and I do mean dire) emergency, the shop table can double as an exam table...LOL An' jeez Sooz, that was NOT what I meant by 'group relations'....that would be too harsh for the testicular set, eh? Remember, it WAS followed by "absorbing the minimal talents.."...LMAO BTW, sent you some info via PM, lets see what we can do.

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: wysiwyg Date: 24 May 02 - 12:54 AM Preemonisha, izzat a Japanese film? Amos has PMS? (Preemonishus Mentality Spasm)? LOL, all the boob'ed ones turn simltaneously to hear someone sing, and the horses run off so fast they knock over a mountain. (THAT's why they called knockers! Huh! Ah never knowed dat!) But FELLAS! Am I the ONLY one who caught Jen talking about GROUP RELATIONS!!!?????? Naw, coutn't be y'all missed THAT, mus' be you jes' thinkin' you hol' us to it when the tahm comes, say "But it wahr in writing, Miz Souzey!" Do NOT get me started! *G* (send plane fare quick) Oh and I dunno if I can come to Camp Runamuck. I mean, I may need something a little higher class; I am, after all, an Episcopalian, not to mention a proper pastorwife, but that's not the main thing-- I jes' been to FOLK COLLEGE, I a collij girl now, I all smarted up! Yuh! I got me a .MFed on mah naime! (Yew dirty thing, fer SHAIME! Ah mean Mistress of Folkie Educayshun! What yew think Ah mean!!!?) Ah need a PhD now Ah sure, Phoakie Doc. Sumbuddy else gonna be the Phoakie Doc? OK, then kin Ah be the nurse!? (No not a WET nurse! Geeze you guys are AWFU'!) Who do we git to examine..... "Look doctor, there is a song impacted in there, we must get it out right away!" (I can leave the polyester at home, tho, right?) ~Susan |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Lyrical Lady Date: 24 May 02 - 12:53 AM I'm really hoping to make one or the other...don't know yet. Depends if I can find a travelling companion ... if left to my own devices, I'd probably end up in Mexico! Hi roger... sure do miss my e-mails! LL |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amos Date: 23 May 02 - 09:18 PM There's a line ringing in the back of my mind where the guitar solo comes in on that rasty 60's rock hit "Woolie Bullie"... a strident voice going: Watchit, now! Watchit, watchit, watchit!!!" Ah jes' hope that ain't one of them preemonishuns I heard of!! LOL!! A |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 23 May 02 - 09:14 PM I thought it was "Slicker than snot on a hot rock"? but you know how us chocolate chip wenches are...LOL |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Áine Date: 23 May 02 - 09:10 PM Yeah, Weezie, what Jen said, "melted him like a chocolate chip on a hot Dallas sidewalk" . . . or, like we like to say down Fort Worth way, "melted him like snot on a hot rock" . . . either way, I think ya git thuh message! ;-) -- Áine |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 23 May 02 - 09:07 PM Sooz, you can show this to Hardi. It seemed to work for Aine's DH.....I'm not sure what the Nor'eastern equivalent is, but the Texan phrase was "melted him like a chocolate chip on a hot Dallas sidewalk". ~Schmenny
************************* CAMP RUNAMUCK is located on the beautiful shores of Indian Lake, in a sleepy little town nestled in the foothills of the Washington Cascades, but that is where the snooze-fest ends, dearest husband-type guys. CAMP RUNAMUCK offers the most mediocre environment necessary to recharge a folk babe's batteries. The lodgings are passable, the food is tolerable, and with the recent EPA clearance, the lake is finally open for toe-dipping. CAMP RUNAMUCK's weekend sessions begin the 13th of July, 2002, with a rousing weekend where: "Red-heads Stay for a Song"-- all fees and registration are waived for the female firebrands. Carrot-tops, strawberries, and auburn wild-wimmen, run for free at CAMP RUNAMUCK Does your folk babe NEED to lose 40 pounds in 8 weeks, sing like EmmyLou and play like JustaPicker to attend? Not just 'No'...as we say at CAMP RUNAMUCK: "HAIL NO!" Your folk babe will be treated to various activities and group relations that will allow her by sheer osmosis to absorb the minimal talents of those around her. Daily doses of Vitamin 'F', found only in large gatherings of similarly afflicted folk babes, will be in great supply, and your folk babe will return to you rejuvenated. In some cases, the sheer lack of sleep has led our clients to believe that they've actually had a nice time! Why run away when you can RUNAMUCK |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 23 May 02 - 08:53 PM actually I was just hoping to be able to compare boob sizes with everyone..... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amos Date: 23 May 02 - 08:47 PM Hey Sooze -- that's religous discrominiishun, ya know. We of the Temple are gonna put our foot down about this kind of chauvinist female talk -- soon's we get it out of our mouth!! LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 23 May 02 - 08:42 PM oh that's ok, Susan...I don't mind.... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: wysiwyg Date: 23 May 02 - 08:40 PM Clearly I am going to have to stay home for this one just to keep the boob quotient from reaching an unbearable level! I fear for the safety of our men! ~Susan

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Áine Date: 23 May 02 - 07:40 PM Hey Jen -- it's still looking good for me AND Dear Hubby to get to the PNCG . . . keep your lil' ol' fingers crossed, awright? I've picked out some firecracker songs to learn, and I've started on the lil' problem I told you 'bout . . . 40 lbs., Emmylou, Justa Picker, etc. 'Course, if I have to come by myself, at least it looks as if Amos will have the job of being my chaperone (Lord and Ladies, protect me - not!) And my darlin' OLD Amergin -- if you've still got that cute lil' beard -- count on me pullin' it while I'm there ;-) All the best, Áine |

We now return you to our regularly programmed thread.... A |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: GUEST,rangerogerinYosemite Date: 21 May 02 - 02:36 AM Logging on as guest as I am using the new laptop that belongs to the festival manager for Strawberry Music.I am on the festival grounds doing set-up preparation for the Spring Festival this weekend. Watching the snow melt( we just got about six inches new today and it kind of slowed things down). We were ahead of schedule so it was a day of rest for us. I had considered starting a new thread about this but I figured JenEllen wouldn't mind a minor hijacking of her thread.Really just wanted to say hi to everyone and reiterate my pleasure at the upcoming MudGather.Hopefully I will have dried out by then. My tent collapsed this morning due to the snow load and I had to move the drum set into a cabin for dry-keeping. Did someone ask about drums at Folk Festivals? One of these days I would really like to write out what it is like to help set up and run a major music festival,but not tonite. Have to get up at 6:00 AM to drive to Stockton to pick a 75KW standby generator and do some shopping for the Festival. It would sure be neat to get Susan out to WA for the Gathering at JenEllen's so I'll pray on that one. Everyone keep on singing and I'll try to get back on soon. rr |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 20 May 02 - 01:02 PM Hey, I TOLD you guys that camera was for crap...LOL...I do have my 'perfesshunal' one, and lots of film, though.
Okay: ~J |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amos Date: 18 May 02 - 02:46 PM Last time Jen was in charge of phtographing a Gather they came out looking like daguerrotypes from the Depression in SPITE of all the grinning faces!! I thought I saw Woodie Guthrie and Cisco sitting around Mousetthief's kitchen table! LOL!! Maybe I can bring a digital camera up there. Capture all those Most Embarassing Moments Involving Others -- throw a case of Guinness in there, and keep the negatives, boyo!! LOL!! Spring water for the photographer, he's driving! :>) A

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Don Firth Date: 18 May 02 - 02:30 PM Gawd, I would love to be there, but I still can't hack traveling very far yet. Sitting in a car for fairly long periods, wheelchair accessible bathrooms, all that. Hopes for the future, but not for a while yet. Take pictures! Make tapes! Don Firth |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 18 May 02 - 02:19 PM Well, now, some of you California Mudcatters could get a two-for-one airfare to Sea-Tac and then carpool with someone from Seattle. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 18 May 02 - 12:49 AM and don't forget montana....think there are a few more...but they don't come out and play much..... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: katlaughing Date: 18 May 02 - 12:19 AM Alex, I would love to buy one of those CD's, too! |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 17 May 02 - 11:51 PM Aine darlin'...it would be a treat to have another Texan along for the ride, not to mention a wench such as yerself!! Rubber sheets and chocolate chip cookies all the way, babe. Hell, you can even have MY pillow for your piles... Alex, you bring those CDs. You have at least one sale, and it would be a real treat to sing with ya again. (where did I put the benadryl lyrics?) Genie, at last (and probably incorrect) count, there were a coupla dozen of us scattered across BC/OR/WA/ID. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 17 May 02 - 11:15 PM BTW, Jen, how many Pacific Northwest Mudcatters ARE there? Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 17 May 02 - 11:12 PM Áine, if you come to th' gathering, you can have MY pillow! You can 'sponsor' an impromptu Song Challenge!, dontcha think? Alex, seriously, I'd be very much interested in that CD. Are the hymns in the original languages (I hope) or in English or both? Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 17 May 02 - 07:13 PM Alex...it would be great if you could make it...i hope to see you there! |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: mousethief Date: 17 May 02 - 06:47 PM Aine, if you need a pillow for your piles, you should maybe look into surgery. I hope to be there but can't be certain. I do have a CD to hawk, though: our church has produced a CD of Orthodox hymns from a variety of backgrounds/traditions (greek, byzantine, russian, carpathian, serbian, etc. etc. etc.). Quite lovely. Alex |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 17 May 02 - 06:27 PM hey Aine...that would be great! |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Áine Date: 17 May 02 - 06:21 PM Uh -- if'n y'all don't mind -- could I come too??? I'd have to fly in from DFW, so I don't think I could pack a lawn chair; but, I could do my best -- maybe a pillow for the piles . . . What do ya think, Mz. Jen??? ;-) -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 17 May 02 - 06:03 PM LOL. Told a friend about 'Susan's Plight' today (great name for that benefit cd, huh?) and he replies: "Oh, there's not enough folkies around here, ya gotta start importing them??" |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 17 May 02 - 01:41 PM Got a gospel CD to hawk as a fundraiser, Susan? *BSEG* Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: wysiwyg Date: 17 May 02 - 01:35 AM I can fly out of Elmira, Binghamton, Buffalo, or Rochester NY, Harrisburg PA, or (if highly motivated) Cleveland. If you can come up with something, let me know! *G* ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 17 May 02 - 01:29 AM Susan, what's your air fare? I could chip in a few bucks--how many of us would it take. (Too bad Southwest doesn't fly from PA to WA; they're offering a two-for-one package this summer.) Amergin, if we all bring bean dip, we can have "mother nature's music." Susan and Jen, thanks for the list. Very helpful. But "cute jammies?" Ya mean good-lookin' folks to play and sing with? Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 16 May 02 - 07:19 PM or shy about asking.... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: GUEST,Wrestling Hardi away from the puder! Date: 16 May 02 - 06:53 PM No, that's for getting up in the AM to make the coffee, so you don't scare the other early risers. Another tip for the host-- leave your cabinets ajar so people can see where you keep stuff without feeling shy about looking! ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 16 May 02 - 06:41 PM Cute jammies? does this mean we actually have to wear something to bed? |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Steve in Idaho Date: 16 May 02 - 06:22 PM I'll offer myself and Ms. J to do the "Go to the store" for what we need thingy. I think you'll find that Janet and I come from a long line of "Leave it better than you found it" folks. So if there is something special you would prefer we do - let us know -

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 16 May 02 - 05:52 PM Nice listing, Sooz. Here is an altered version for the NWGather: Sleeping gear: Bags and tents are welcome, and there are two spare beds in the house up for grabs. There is also a 'guest' room (it has a door) for privacy needers. I've got spare sheets and pillows and such, so if you forget your own, no stress. Cute jammies: The less I know about this, the better. Warm things to wear: Ellensburg is also known as 'the big windy'...it can get chilly at night, be prepared, but once again, I've got extras. Towel, washcloth, toiletries: If you are terribly fond of hot water, be sure to get up early *g* Digital camera: very helpful, mine is a piece of crap (as can be seen in last gathering's photos) Portable tape player or minidisc recorder: I have a mini-disc, if you want to use it for your own copies, bring spare discs. Your own folding chair (bring a sunhat) Whatever day-starter you are addicted to: Sorry, but this is a TEA house. I'll have a coffeemaker and coffee, but if you like it, you'd best be prepared to make it yourself, or lose the lining of your stomach were I to brew it. Snacky and sandwichy stuff: The plan is buffet-style grazing throughout the day. If you have any favourites or specialities, by all means bring them. Bagged ice, paper goods and tinfoil are good too. ***Be Warned*** My 'good hostess' qualities have been highly overrated. If you are shy, you will more than likely starve to death, and I take no responsibility for that. If you don't see something you want/need, cupboard poking and drawer diving are encouraged. People who want to go fishing: You catch'em, you clean'em. *bg* |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amos Date: 16 May 02 - 02:55 PM She doesn't charge for the pleasure of her company... Amergin: If I may inject a gratuitious comment ...uh...well... it seems a bit odd to point this fact out at all, if ya see what I mean. Considering the alternatives implied. A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 16 May 02 - 01:53 PM She doesn't charge for the pleasure of her company...she is a wonderful hostess...but I just imagine helping out for the supper and drinks and such would be in order... How is everyone for spicy foods? |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Jon Bartlett Date: 16 May 02 - 04:09 AM We're from the South West (of Canada, that is: New Westminster, BC), but can we come anyway? We promise to sing nothing but ballads(or is that a threat?). Jon Bartlett/Rika Ruebsaat |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 16 May 02 - 03:05 AM Piece of cake from where I stay in Seattle, Jen (by the Ship Canal Bridge). Sounds like you're only about 70 miles from Issaquah--right? (I could pick up some Krispy Kremes on the way.) Aw, Susan, ya gotta find a way to get out here! Genie

Maybe I should just harness the DOG, and let her hoobie-doobie me west-- eventually I would probably arrive in a cyclone of her own exuberance! (She raps, too-- so the Little Ruby Hoobie Doobie is AKA RuDoggyDogg!) Wait--- MUDCAT FUNDRAISER! Breed dogs at the Gatherings.... oh yeah, BYO bitch/stud, let 'em loose, and let the Folk Process take care of the rest! Big bucks for your very own MudPuppy! No......? Oh, OK, so I'm sleep deprived.... ~S~

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 15 May 02 - 03:45 PM Dunno about the magic carpets, but a quick poll of the students preparing for finals leads me to believe that I might have a spare broom that could pick up you and your little dog too...*bg* |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: wysiwyg Date: 15 May 02 - 03:16 PM Got any magic carpets you can send for me? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: GUEST,Mudjack at work Date: 14 May 02 - 03:13 PM Is the " Second Chance Ranch" easy to find? I can find Ellensburg. I'm not absolute yet, but if the dates are open on my calendar July should happen for me. Mudjack |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 14 May 02 - 01:47 PM Leej: You don't know how right you are. Local thought runs to the fact that it sounds like a mix of "You're a Grand Old Flag" and the fight song from RobinHood Men In Tights. Genie: Welcome!!!! Of course day visits are okay! I suspect after a night of picking that 'breakfast' won't be anything close to 'early'-- and it was only farewell for the folks that do have to travel back to real life for Monday morning. Now, Seattle is fairly close. I don't know where you'll be, but if you can get the I-5 and then the I-90, it's right on the freeway and less than 100 miles. |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: GUEST,MAG at work Date: 14 May 02 - 01:32 PM You guys really need to visit the Sunny Side more often Ellensburg is right on the interstate, this side of the Cascades -- closer to Seattle than where I live. |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 14 May 02 - 02:06 AM Oops! If you're having a farewell breakfast Sunday morning, it seems a Sunday day visit on July 14 is out. Two questions: What time Saturday do you expect the Mudcatters to start gathering? How far (in time and miles) is it from Seattle to Ellensburg? Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Genie Date: 14 May 02 - 01:33 AM Hooray, JenEllen! AT LAST a Mudcat Gathering that isn't light years away from my habitat! I can make the August date and could drop by on July 14 (Bastille Day) if day visits are OK. (Having said that, I've gotta go find out where the heck Ellensburg is and how close it is to Seattle [where I'll be on July 13]. I could take one or maybe two riders from Portland for the August date if I don't end up hitching a ride myself. Genie

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Steve in Idaho Date: 10 May 02 - 10:46 AM Auntie Jen - I think we will bring the pickup - now Janet could change our mind on that - but my guitar won't fit on the bike. I scratched Buster Browns little pointy ears this morning (Janet is NOT fond of the nickname LOL) and he is thrilled to be joining the world. So consider your request a done deal.

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: JenEllen Date: 09 May 02 - 04:49 PM Yeah, that was kinda funny. My inital thought when the masses descend on my house is usually: "Oh great, how are we all gonna manage the bathroom?" For a Catter Communal, the thought went straight to: "Will I ever see my computer again??" Tenters and baggers are just fine, plenty of room. There is also room in the shop for tents and such if it gets too windy (it IS Ellensburg, after all). Steve, you and Miz J can do as you please. If you are riding out on your bike and want a soft place to land, you've got one waiting for ya (provided you scratch that colt between the ears for Auntie Jen) |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amos Date: 09 May 02 - 04:25 PM You may want to think about putting in a T1 line for the weekend, Jen, and renting a buncha laptops or sompn. They'll all be wanting to post their raves on the 'Cat!! What a wonderful weekend it sounds like!! I'm gonna try, too! A |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 09 May 02 - 03:58 PM will there be a padded room there too? Hey, Mrr...wish you could come out too...won't quite be the same without you..... |
|
Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Mrrzy Date: 09 May 02 - 03:45 PM Man, wish I could come again! Or at least for the first time, since I missed most of last year's... |

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Steve in Idaho Date: 09 May 02 - 02:35 PM I'm thinking we will make the July gathering - August maybe - it will depend on the work load here. We are tenters - - Maybe a motel -

Subject: RE: Pacific Northwest 'Catter Gathers 2002 From: Amergin Date: 09 May 02 - 01:48 AM Yeah it seems like the perfect place for a commune....we can call ourselves the Mudcat Family....or the Pat Pattersons....cause we are a rather odd bunch..... |
