Anybody else planning on bringing kids? I'll have my 11-year-old daughter in tow, and she'd love to know if there are likely to be any other kids around.

If I drive, I might even be willing to temporarily play something other than Tex-Mex on the radio. (Not that I really want to drive all the way, but I don't mind using my van.)

Anybody interested?
That might just work out - Blackhawk and I live fairly close together, if he's interested. Might have my #2 daughter along; she hasn't decided.

I rather like Tex-Mex music, anyway. Pity my Spanish is awfully rusty.
I don't think Mrs Blackhawk is planning on going, so this would work for me, too. What time should we plan on meeting?

Having started all this, I think I'd better back out. My wife seems to be getting weaker, and I'm not entirely confident about my son's ability to handle her while I'm gone. He's pretty strong, but he doesn't have the experience.

Hate to miss it, though.

My daughter's 11 also, and was at the last one. She enjoyed herself, but hasn't decided whether to come or not. (Mom and her older sister aren't coming)

Nathan, also 11 will also be in tow. I know there is a video player available, don't know about DVD. He will probably bring his handheld game and we could also bring PS2 if Tony says OK to that (although it MIGHT disract some of the adults that are into that!!!!

)

Oh, Mike, sorry to hear about your wife not doing well. I was really looking forward to tempting you with my Bleazey G and a few other goodies I have picked up over the last few months. Wish her well for me and take care.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife, Mike. Also I'd have enjoyed meeting you.

DCrom · Post by **DCrom** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 8:48 pm

Mike, let me add my deepest sympathy. I don't know what to say beyond that.

I'd looked forward to meeting you again, but family has to come first.

Thanks, guys. If I'm not in Texas by the time Dana holds his, I might try for that one, as it's a bit less of a trip, so I'd feel more justified in just going up for a couple of hours.

We'll miss you, Mike!

okay... I'm quite new to the board. This is my first post, in fact. My mother directed me to the board because I've been looking for likeminded persons with an appreciation of Irish and Traditional music. The long and short of it is, I'm in San Jose and I'd like to be able to join in at a gathering like this-- I'm not very good as a player (I need to practice more) but I can at least pretend to sing along.

So... is there any chance that someone could perhaps give me a ride? Or let me know of other such gatherings in the San Jose area? Please?

Thank you,

L (the newbie)

Nathan, also 11 will also be in tow. I know there is a video player available, don't know about DVD. He will probably bring his handheld game and we could also bring PS2 if Tony says OK to that (although it MIGHT disract some of the adults that are into that!!!! )

PS2 is fine as long as the vcr works when you're done and you don't burn down the living room. There's no dvd player. (Kid's can't eat in the living room. It gives my mom a lot of anxiety.)

Stephen, are you bringing your other kid, Switchfoot?

I can see myself in your icon. And, I can't believe you're selling that Copeland low F before the gathering. I was hoping to check it out.
L the newbie, Hope you can make it.

Cool, thanks for the feedback Tony.

To answer for Stephen, Switchfoot has alread said he can't be there

.

You like my new Avatar, eh? Just to explain, at last years Fall gathering I took a group picture. Right afterwords, Tony posted this REALLY spooking picture of himself with bugged out eyes (brrrrr). So I grabbed the eyes and put them on everyone in the picture. This year I learned how to animate avatars and THAT is the result! hehehehehe I wanted to do red eyes, but they blended it too much.

Oh, and I did not sell the Cope Low F. I actually traded for a Weasel Low A. Maybe that is more interesting to you? The Cope that is on eBay IS the one I had, it just belongs to someone else now.

Last time I had quite a few loaner and tour whistles with me. This time I thought I was going to be skunked. Getting the house ready to sell and now having it on the market really distracted me from sending out any invitations. Well, I WON'T be skunked. I got a surprise in the mail on Friday, something that was TOTALLY unexpected.

Should I say something now or just wait to reveal it at THE GATHERING?

Of course I will have all of my new whistles gotten over the last 6 months.

I haven't been on the board much the last few days (travelling), or I would have already offered. Some of us had been kicking around the idea of carpooling, but I don't think we have it nailed down.

L, you're certainly welcome to ride up with me. Blackhawk, are you interested in carpooling?
