Ya know Harris, If ya go to the Rolling Rock store here in town everything ends in 33, no matter what it cost if it isn't 3.33 or 33.33 it ends in 33. You buy a Rolling Rock Bic lighter it is 3.33 a beer glass with the logo on it? yep, 3.33.....Weird store.

I don't drink beer (I prefer wine, mixed drinks or champagne) but I am sure Bill will "help" you deal with that Rolling Rock. We couldn't get it here in Illinois for years now but we can and he likes it! (I think it brings back memories of college out there. )

Myself and so far as I know, Catalin, will be at the PITT airport Friday morning and could use a ride if anybody's up to shuttling us. I have a real hard time hitching, due to my size and my face...I tend to scare small children.
My flight gets in friday at 10:42. I or Catalin or Magoo will let ya know when he gets in.
Edited to add: YAHOOOOOO! GETTIN OUTTA FEMA CITY FOR A WEEKEND!!!!!

DON!!!!!!!!!!! I had NO idea you were coming!!!! That's SENSATIONAL!
We're driving over from Ohio on Friday morning. Let me look at our path and see if it takes us near the airport - I have a feeling the freeway goes much north but I will check.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll be going anywhere close to the airport. Sorry 'bout that, we would have been happy to scoop you up on the way.

Al, I'm definately a beer drinker. If you think we can keep a keg from going flat, let's have at it, my experiences with kegs has always been -- drink 'em the night of cause they'll go flat. If there's just a handle full of us we'll be pretty sloshy trying to kill a half before it goes flat. A quarter might be better or try to figure out a way to get CO2 attached to the keg. Otherwise just get day by day supplies.
I was wondering about beer and such in Pa, because when I lived there, you could only get beer at bottle-shops or beer distributors. Is it still that way?
I like Bill's attitude -- do we have to paint signs? A nap or 2 sounds terrific. I'll do some panels for sure, but I plan to visit and do as much lying as possible, maybe do some jammin' if others are interested. I'm not going to be zinging around all over the place like a chicken with my head cut off, because I'm way over-worked lately. My woman has me booked solid. Secretly she's trying to keep me busy, so I won't find ways to get into trouble.
I might bring some HOK for folks to fool around with if anybody's interested. What about fishin? We could choose up teams and smell armpits or do some "Kumbayahin'" down at the fire pit. Hunt for frogs, roast a weinie or 2, zilch, play "Capture the flag" -- man there's all kinds of stuff you can do out in the woods.

A handshake, a manly hug, and a good chat are probably as strong as any rivit or weld in any bridge!

Don! If you can't fit into the bunkhouse, will ya settle for a couch? No matter what, I know there are no beds up there long enough! It will be way cool to meet you. Like Jane sez, folks, please bring guitars if ya got em, or a fiddle, or a harmonica or something! I have to pick up Catherine from Scotland at Pittsburgh International next Tuesday, and Alan Ackerson is gonna sleep on our couch here on Wednesday. I think we'll be up at camp by about 10 am. Meant to mention this earlier, just in case, the nearest hospital is in Clarion, PA. Love....Jill PS I have been getting a lot of calls asking if there is a special one-day rate...there isn't. It will be $50 a person for the meet. If you register before the 15th, spouses are $35. Kinda makes me feel like when someone calls me about the price of magnetic signs... This will cover the food and the camp rental. I want everyone to have a fun, satisfying time....including myself and Stevo! I am glad that the registration has been steady (53 so far now) because the cash flow has enabled me to buy a lot of food!

Don, Reminds me of Bill Clinton getting off of Air Force one. Under each arm he was carrying animals. A Marine remarked to him, "Nice pigs, sir!" Clinton says, "These aren't pigs, they're authentic Arkansas Razorbacks. I got one for Hillary and one for Chelsea." The Marine looked them over a little and replied, "Nice trade Sir!"

Bob Rochon has offered Catalin and me a ride from the airport. It's a bit out of his way to the meet.
If there's anybody coming into Pitt airport Friday morning that we can hitch a ride with, please let us know so we can save Bob the detour. I arrive there at 10:42, or so they say. Cat or I will post his arrival time here. I don't have that info yet.

I LOVE drawing. That's what got me into this whole thing in the first place. Pencil, pen and ink, watercolors, sand on the beach, stick in the mud.

Looking forward to doing some art! I will be watercolor-ing.

Hey Jill and Stevo, how about electrified instruments like a small amp and guitar? I don't know if my acoustic is worthy. I may bring it anyway if there is no plug ins or folks are into folksy campfire type music. I could probably wing it though just to back up my "Hurt Me" boy Ackerson and his new harp.
I can jam along with anybody on all 3 or 4 chord songs (blues, country or rock) and as long as I don't have to play lead or sing. My gravel voice would scare off the wolves.

That Jane woman can sing, though, Aretha and others. She can belt 'em out.
Yeah Don, if those wolves get near our women, we will retaliate. Dark forests at night conjure up images of Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstilskin, little Red Riding Hood and Bill and Don goin' bezerk chasing wolves through the woods with hand grenades.

Thar's Barrs in them thar woods, not wolves! Here is the main road in to camp, there is an alternate route as this is rather ruff: It leads to my uncle's camp: This is where the meals will be served: And here too (bunkhouse in background) Here is one of the two showers on site: Here's where we plan to jam: The road to the river, deep in the woods: And a spring in case anyone gets thirsty on the 1-mile hike down to the rocky beach: Music will be good, amplified or not, as we can holler in the holler and nobody will give a hoot! Love....Jill
