greetings all. it's been awhile since I've posted on cf, but thought I'd chime in about the elusive left coast gathering. september is a busy month for me, but most weekends in october look good so far. would be good to see some of you all again and share some music together, as long as Tony will have us at his new house. we'll see how the plans come together and maybe I'll see you all in the next month or so.

cheers

Gimme a freakin' calendar. There. Oct 7. Before anyone says anything. It's on.

Whoah, wait a minute. I have to trim the dog's nails that day. Never mind, that's Oct 8, so we're okay.

If anyone else is getting married, do it now. If you're starting college, wait till spring. Armageddon? It'll keep.

Oct 7

No further questions. We'll discuss menu later. That wasn't so hard.

I think this is the third one of these I've been through. Each year the suspense is nearly unbearable as dates are proposed and nixed. I always know it'll work out, but I just wonder how. And then there is a wedding and Irish immersion this year on top of it all! Hey, have fun you guys

! October 7th it is, yay!!!!!!

We could all gather at the wedding and regale the happy couple with "Haste to the Wedding" and other such happy fare.

"My Husband's Got No Courage In Him" might be a better choice.

Oct 7?

Barring last-minute business trips (I'm going *where*???) I'll be there, along with Alina (AKA Daughter #2).

That will make Johanna very happy. When I mentioned the gathering this evening, she immediately asked "Is Alina coming?"

As long as I can get my chair.

At whose house will this be?

I should be able to make it!

I'll block the date in my calendar!

Cool!

You and yer @#$ chair....crikey. You could have picked it up on any day in the last however many months.

Now, the pizza pan I left at Dana's, that's important! He will, of course, bring it.

Of course. Along with potables and noshes, my favorite whistles, and both flutes.

Though I'll probably skip the poteen this time - I've still got most of the bottle left from last March. It seems to be pretty much a one-time thing for most drinkers.

Let's nobody say a word to John about his chair and see if he forgets it again. It'll be at my house, not far from my mom's. Email me for directions.

(I was thinking I could use a pizza pan. Maybe I could trade a nice chair for one...)

Shall I bring the harp this time? It's not much of a session instrument, and I don't play it all that well yet, but at the last gathering there were several people who wanted to see it.
