Wishing I could be there.
Me too.
Me too! Well, I'll be here, but wish you two could make it! 
Me too..... 
Me too.
Oh, Wait. I will be!
Me too.
Oh, Wait. I will be!
OH BTW - If we end up in the backyard, where we belong, the WiFi signal there is WEAK. So, there may not be a video stream to share with all ya'll that can't make it this year. I actually got rid of one of my WiFi routers that was acting as an extender. Well, that is of course unless I find the time to move the router. That could still happen, maybe.
We'll get lots of video though to upload after the fact.
I may still give you a call and see how things are going. If you don't answer, I'll assume they're going loud. :-)
I think I will check in as zurf also. on the 6th me and the boys will be on a 2.5 hr zip line course!
I've almost finished packing the camper (right now there is a rain delay which I hope doesn't last long). Jen is downstairs baking cookies to bring for everyone and I'm still trying to decide which guitar to bring. I've got a couple new tunes which were well received at a gathering on the Shenandoah River in VA last week and I'm curious what my fellow chordians will think of them. If everything goes as planned we'll be camping at Tionesta Lake in PA for a couple nights before arriving in North Bay Friday afternoon. I had a ball last year and am looking forward to seeing everyone again. I was hoping Zurf could make it but at least I got a chance to spend an evening pickin' with him last Friday.

Just wanted to wish you all well for this coming weekend, and I know there'll be lots of great music, stories, and memories to share afterwards. Best wishes to you all from "The Great White North"!
Packing up the car. Leaving around 8:30. See you folks around 1:00.
Hmmm... sounds like I've got about 3 hours to shower, scrub the paint off my hands (face, hair, arms, floor), clean the kitchen up, bake some darn cookies, and tidy up the house a little ... I better get moving! 
I've worked my tail off, and will be happy to call it officially time to relax when UJB pulls in the driveway! LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!!! (in a few hours.. cuz.. paint covered me is not a pretty sight!)
You'd be a site for sore eyes anytime Amy, sweaty and covered in paint or clean and freshly dressed.

I hope someday I will be able to meet Amy and all of you in person just so many miles between us. I hope it will be a great event.
Y'all be careful driving and let's hear and see you on The Tube when it's all done, okay?
Love ya!
Bill and Dondra
Car is packed. Leaving around 8:30 - 9:00. See you all in whatever time it takes to get there from Auburn.
I miss all the fun stuff, have a great time every one
Hope you put some photos and other bits up for us out here.
I know everyone there will make good fun and music.
To tide you all over, here's a little Dirty Ed and his lovely bride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iNXlFp … e=youtu.be

Jen and Ken when they sing and Play.
Make this world seem okay.
As long as we got that rythmn that flows of the perfect combination Jen and Ken
With Jen and Ken singing and playing all our worries and cares will drift away.
Jen and Ken take it away.
You make our day.
Love the video. Have fun you guys and gals and (with a posh English accent) "Good Morning Katie, I hope you are exceedingly well" for my little friend.

Made it home in one piece. Thank you Jim and Amy for a wonderful weekend!
If I remember how to do this.......here's a few stills from Saturday afternoon.
The infamous Bread Machine resurrected to serve as a beer holder and music stand.

Glad to hear you made it home safely, Joe!
I'm so glad that those who were able to make it came out! I think everyone from Chordie had a good 4-6 hour drive to get here. What an amazing weekend this was. Since DE and JJJ (and their lovely ladies) are still in town, I'll save the "party review" for another day.
A very very very SPECIAL thank you to UJB for all the video recording that was done! I actually was pretty busy with my smoky butts, and had such a good time knowing that I didn't have to worry about video too much. Joe, you truely made MY day much easier! I did take a couple pictures, and only a couple videos and sound recordings. For now, here's a few pics, and I'll get my couple videos and sound clips up in a few days.

I think they may have liked the smoked pork...
