Got home in record time: 43? miles and 6 hours, exactly to-the-minute. I lost some sleep. SINSUL lost a few more marbles. Charlie, if nobody claims the stuff, it might be Mary's. If she doesn't claim it, it's DEFINITELY hers. That coffee mugh sounds like hers.

The Greek fisherman's cap is mine.

Also, Heart Frog went AWOL. Anybody know who has him? He was on the Wedding table and was not supposed to be included in the "Take What You Want" free for all. My fault.

The musical mug should have gone to Big Mick - we bought it especially for him.

The tights are no longer needed - send them to a thrift shop if you can.

Auction? Cool. I had bids on two items and had to leave early (though the benefit concert in Alexandria was fun too).
Janie, I did not exactly leave my heart there, but parts of it went home with various folks there. I would not count those lost though!

The orange LL Bean boat jacket is still missing, has not turned up in my various bags, backpacks, instrument cases or whatever. The last time I saw it was in the dining hall on the back of the chair where I was having breakfast Sunday morning. Then I went charging up the hill to the Parody Workshop. Oddly enough after we announced the loss of the coat and the fact that my car keys were in it, the car keys resurfaced on the dinning room floor.

This is not a great loss, neither in sentiment nor value but it is annoying. I hate to be reminded that I need to be more careful when I'm attending festivals and other special events; some of the things I carry with me are less replaceable.

beardedbruce, your sonnets notebook was in the crafts/silent auction area. It's at our house.

Charley, we have always felt that Getaways were an extremely safe environment. However, last year or the year before, our 4 foot long heater, which we always used in the TV room for late night singing, was missing on Monday morning. Bill had put it in the Silent Auction room the night before.

Sigh.... If I have to start paying attention to where my stuff is at Getaways, I'm in big trouble. I try to make the rounds every evening and pick up everything I've abandoned during the day but lots of years Charlie hands me a stack of stuff on Monday that I've left here and there during the weekend.

Charlie I think it's very disturbing about your jacket. I felt so comfortable at the Getaway, leaving my guitar outside the dining hall (as many others did), setting my pack down and not paying much attention to it... and very much letting my guard down. Awful to think that there was a thief among us. I still keep hoping somebody will get home and unpack, find that it had gotten mixed up with their stuff somehow, and send it back to you. Well I'm glad you have your car keys, at least. By the way, it was a pleasure meeting you and you sure know a lot of great songs.

Excuse me, but Sinsull;s SOGT was picked from her mother's pocket when she was but a seedling, and as a sad result she was forced to be born without one altogether. She compensated from an early age by developing other charms to a maximal extent including her poignant personality. And a couple of others. But G/T is not on the list!! :D

Fortunately she is well loved anyway!

My Skarpi CD is among the missing too. But my stuff is scattered throughout my house, car and Kendall's car. It may just need to be excavated.

I recovered my quilt and pillow missing since last year's Getaway but had to leave them at Tinker's - no room at the inn.

What does Heart Frog look like? I have this creature that looks like a heart with ears, and it says "I love you" when you press the wee belly. It is tacky. I can't believe Sins would own such a thing.

Ebbie, Carly and I stopped for lunch and made a quick dash into a wonderful store. Lots of very cool toys and TONS of tacky stuff!! I said over and over again, "We should get this for SINSULL for next year!"

Date: 19 Oct 05 - 12:38 PM

Sins didn't own such a thing. She was merely the bearer of very bad news Mick - it belongs to YOU!

Heartfrog is about 8" tall, green and carrying a guitar. He sings Achy Breaky Heart when you press his hand with an amazing vibratto at the end of the rendition. As he has not, as yet, completed his mission to cuddle up to more Mudcat ladies than Kendall we would appreciate it if a photo diary of his further travels could be kept. If you can't get him to other Mudcatters then please pm me for a return address. Otherwise the poor little guy will be pining for the attention that he so richly deserves.

I tried to talk Jacqui out of that "I Love You" heart. In fact, given that all that crap ended up in my basement so Kendall couldn't see exactly what Jacqui was up to, I tried to talk her out of most of it and failed. Now I get a reputation for having no taste.
Anyone who has been to my home knows of my impeccable good atste - not a typo. Even the pink/purple/red color scheme was Jacqui's idea...although I did have something to do with the upside down red hat with high heeled shoes for feet.

And the Horrible Heart Frog, complete with "Achy Breaky Heart" theme song, insipidly cute dance, and tacky glow in the dark heart shaped guitar is JACQUI's! My dancing, singing, glowing, spinning doodads have real character. Just ask Spaw.

Now the real question here is why is Amos baiting the fair SINSULL? Did he feel neglected? Was he disappointed not to receive a fuzzy toy or a Dance of the Golden Globes? Poor man. He has just moved himself to the top of the Toy Boy Abuse List for next year's Getaway. Poignant Personality, indeed! The Evil Twins are now forced to show their true colors.

Well, there's no disputing taste, but as I said in the other thread, Sinsull's AIM is impeccable. Now, if I can get a special theatrical presentation on a Temple theme, I will not only come next year, but bring several of the fraternal order with me, as they will be able to write it off as a a religous convocation. With good reason, I might add -- it isn't everyday you get to seriously find out what it is like to die and go to heaven. It would have to be a bit more...revelatory... than Mick's amazing Girls Show, which had me rolling on the theater floor. But, hey, you got 359 days to work up to it!!! :D

One thing I have lost from this trip, which Charlie is sur enot gonna find for me, is whatever shred of dignity I may have once had in these parts. However, that is a loss worth bearing.

Trust me, guys, if SINSULL had had her way we would have needed U-Haul to take all the stuff to Ramblewood and she would still be dishing it out.

Contrary to Mary Sunshine's comments I was the voice of reason on those shopping trips.

Now for next year......

Beardedbruce, I'm sorry to say that I don't know the name of the place, but your lovely sister Carly said that you are the one who introduced her to it. I found that delightful since it was such a cool little store. Lots of old time penny candy and fun toys.

By the way, bruce, your ears might have been ringing while we were in there. We agreed that you are a very gernerous person. Thanks for that and for all you seemed to do for others all weekend.

Next year, Bruce. Meantime, thank you for the ginger, I think. Despite myself I have developed a taste for it.

Meanitme I have tallied my missing items: 1 Greek fisherman's cap, 1 Skarpi CD, and 1 video. Possibly 1 El Greko CD.

I've noted that the Aegean sailors cap, Skarpi CD and video are Sinsulls (Lorcan--the vIdeo was in the same container with the other two items, and is threfore probably Sinsull's)--Sinsull--is the wooden crate yours also?

Big Mick claims his towel.
Sue Matthieu claimed her coffee mug in an e-mail.

The Glass Gazing ball was too large and delicate to take home, soit has been donated to Ramblewood.

The "love" mug that plays a tune when you pick it up--I made someone else take it home because it started to play when I picked it up and wouldn't stop, and I couldn't bear to listen to it all the way back to DC--if I had to take it, it would have driven me crazy and I would have heaved it all over the highway someplace well before Baltimore, so I'll have to get it back.

The panty hose went to a good home.

CeltAddict--you were silent auction high bidder on the fleece purple/turquoise reversible jacket and the Scold's Bride CD.
Beardedbruce--you were high bidder on the 6-cd carrier, but I think (and hope) it went home with your sister along with the leftover ginger. There were a couple of other CDs in that batch that I have to get back and redistribute (Carly--if you're reading this, I'll get them from you at the Dave and Anni concert).

I'm still recovering from the weekend, complicated by the Jewish holiday of Sukkot which has kept me incommunicado for a couple of days since then.
