ChordiePa 2017 (Page 1 of 2)

Going to make a solid effort to make it for a part of the weekend.  I've been trying to talk Topdawgz into riding along.  I'll toss my cot in and hope to crash somewhere.

I was up at camp over the Labor Day weekend. The above mentioned Jeff was there as well. He built a fire Sunday night and we sat down to play for awhile. Within about 15 minutes we had 12 people sitting around listening. Turns out 3 of them were also musicians. One of them used to play in a bluegrass band. He's coming and bringing his banjo and mandolin. The other 2 play guitar and will be coming as well. So there are now 6 local musicians.

Let's hope this string of hurricanes ends and we have a nice dry weekend.

It's a standard 110v plug?

Then yes. You can back in where everyone was parked in '15. I'll figure out other parking arrangements for folks. There's an outlet on the pole. There's also a water hydrant you can plug into.

I'll put you between my place and the pavilion.

Would love to meet you. I'll have Songs From the Wood playing on the stereo when you arrive.

We're 2 weeks out. We've had unusually warm weather for the last 2 weeks and at this point the weather gurus are saying it will be around until at least next weekend. This string of hurricanes has created a block in the Atlantic which is keeping us warm and dry. Hope it holds a little longer.

There's only 1 local that is staying overnight so my neighbor Jeff, still has room for 3 people.

At this point it looks like there are 6 local musicians and 5 Chordians. If anyone needs the exact address, send me a PM.

Zurf you can go to your profile and change your email account and then hit safe. I changed mine and it was easy .

Email sent.

Awe, JJJ you and Chris won't make it?   

MKD and I will be heading out Friday morning.  I've got the weekend off.  I'm 99.9% sure that we'll be without kids.  Steph may change her mind and want to come along at the last minute, but so far the plan is for the little to stay behind with the grandparents and big brother.  I haven't had much time to do much aside from the constant of work/homeschool/mom duties, so super looking forward to getting away where the electronics don't work as well.   

That weather forecast doesn't look too bad, UJB!

Let me know what you're planning. I was only bringing my camper for your benefit. If you're bringing your own gear, I'll just toss an air mattress or cot in the Prius.

As for tents - it's all fine gravel, so bring a tarp to go under it. Double thickness would be even more gooderer.

Just sent an email off to Topdawgz. We have several options so if you just want to bring the car, go for it. I was up there this weekend and made sure there was a place for the camper so you're welcome to bring that if you prefer a home base type set-up.

Jim and I would both like to thank you, once again Joe, for your amazing hospitality!  We had a wonderful time, as always!  The weekend weather was absolutely beautiful, the guitar time was wonderful (or "something like that"), food was abundant, and new friends made as always!  Jim and Robert hit it off well, and it was soo good to see him again, as well as Zurf, Jeff, Scott, and yourself Joe!  Also, I took down the model number of your camcorder... I may just get one to keep it new in box and on hand for that day when I finally break yours.  Hi, my name is Amy and I'm a lil clumsy. 

Dexter and Bobby found no problem fitting in (although no one actually invited Bobby, he seemed to have no problem making friends with just about everyone and even managed a sip of Bourbon).    Good times!  Of course, after I told the girls all about our new friends, they were both a little jealous that they didn't come with us.  Steph said, "Sure, the one time I really SHOULD have come because I'd have been able to make some friends."  HA HA!   

Let Jeff know that Steph will be impossible to keep out of the car next year, as long as Dexter is expected to be there.    I'll make sure she practices up.  We look forward to seeing you all at the next slightly North Eastern event, be that perhaps a little south of here or right at our home in July/August next year.
