"Real soon now" we're going to start an edited thread with the Getaway 2005 registration information and stuff like that so information will be easy to find.

The Getaway committee are all up to our ears in work for the Folklore Society of Greater Washington's (FSGW's) Washington Folk Festival (June 4 & 5) right now. Carly & Charlie are threatening to start work on the Getaway on the 6th (hahahahahaha as Mick says) which means it will not be TOO long now. As for me I plan to collapse and do as little as possible for the entire week of June 5 and I suspect I'm not the only one, so don't grumble too much please if we're a week or 2 later than that getting started.

Rita, where is the FSGW festival held? At Camp Ramblewood? How many of you will be in attendance?

There are times I rather envy you East Coasters your denser populations.

In July the Alaska "State" Fair will be put on in Haines, Alaska. (It's called a State fair, but it's not even as big as most county fairs 'down south'). Steve Earle will be one of the headliners.

what next? Practice songs!... (not much to do till Aug-Sept..but it depends on when Charlie & Carly get various registration and workshop plans working..) When this was 95% local, we barely thought about it till summer. This international flight booking, ride arranging and lead time planning has our little brains all a-twizzle (technical term - means stonkered and bamfuzzled).....

But it's gonna be fun.

Sorry for the confusion. Giok is not the father of KoKo's twins. Someone else known to sport lime green thongs cum potatoes is responsible. No, Giok, another lady awaits you. heh heh

I just can't wait for the Getaway.

I need to know what the registration process is like and how to choose one or another accommodation. Is the reg form currently on the FSGW site valid? Should we start the new thread of preps for Getaway yet?

Yay Amos, glad you have a job! The registrations forms will be put up in about a week. We're going to have an edited thread for the administrivia so people can find what they need to register, make their plans, etc. This thread -- or a successor for efficiency's sake -- will keep rolling along as well. At least I hope it will!

Leadfingers, we've had practice; we've had "a reasonable UK representation" once or twice before; year before last (I think) we had 24 visiting members of the Shellback Chorus as well as Alaska Mike and Tawmmie's first visit, lots more special guests (my memory is not good enough to name them all but Micca was here, I do believe). It was a Grand Getaway for all.
