Location: south east Michigan | The place we stayed rented motor scooters.
Eight or maybe nine or maybe more of us did 3 or 4 hours around the island. It had to be a sight going through the middle of town. I was lucky enough to get the helmet with the skull & crossbones.
Windows were shuttered and children were brought in off the streets. dd |

Be fair. I was on my way to Twin Falls to pick up a bike (really appreciated your hospitality, btw). Did your wife ever get that suspicious look off her face, or does that just come from living with you? |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I remember the look on Waskel's face when 20 seconds into jumping up to play bass in a jam with Temp, Matt Smith, Cliff and a few others, and just about the exact moment Waskel figured out what key they were in, Matt turned to him and said, "O.k., Waskel, take it." |

If I was fair, it wouldn't have been a weird story. I think my wife has gotten used to it. She stayed through the end of the Black Hills Jam, turning the pages in the song book. (She reminds me of this when she asks me to do things with her like look at open houses.)
I really think we need to have a gathering up at our cabin in McCall. We finally bought the land it sits on last Saturday after 24 years of renting it from the State. If we could get any of you to try water skiing, it might make for some good pictures and stories. |

P.S. The Aztecs will take to the smurf turf on November 15th.

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'll be in Monterey the week of June 15 and Leavenworth, Washington the weekend of August 15. So July looks good for you guys to come to my place. Maybe I could get Miles to come if I promise his wife free huckleberries. She bought some for our pancakes when we were up in Mt. Vernon. Someone was so anxious for breakfast he couldn't wait to open the screen door. |

Location: NJ | waskel said he would back me up on bass at o'kane's
so I foget the tunes we are playing but we are totally out of tune. I keep yelling the changes at him and he keeps looking at me like I am out of my mind.
well I was not out of my mind. Pam has a 5 string bass and waskel was playing the low B instead of the E.
I think that was the last time we played together............... |

When was that and what "we" and "they" are you talking about? Nerds are always in abundance, but most of this group grew up before the term "nerd" was invented.
If I'm doing the inviting, everyone is welcome, but I realize that it's a long way from civilization. |

It may be in driving distance from Saskatchewan which is even further removed from civilization ... |
