Location: Pennsylvania | Karen, I agree with the others. Please don't wait to get your knee looked at asap. Chances are they wouldn't do any big procedures until after the weekend anyway.
As far as the house goes, I don't even own white gloves. :-) I'm happy to chip in and help you out with whatever needs doing. |

The Elite T is here--got it from Cheryl tonight, so we are going to have lots of variety.
Be sure to let me know if you need anything or have questions about getting here.
Almost there!

Location: Boise, Idaho | Brad has a beautiful back yard. I guess it's actually more of a courtyard, with a park across the street. I thought the burger was great.
I noticed this planning difference in college. The guys would decide to have a party at the last minute and it was BYOB, then send someone out for beer and pizza after the party started. The girls would send out written invitations to their parties with a theme and an alphabetical list of food items and then plan what to wear for a week in advance.
For OFC gatherings, the guys just seem to plan on what guitars and beer to bring. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Well, for those of us in the female-folk world, there is more to a get-together than beer and guitars... :D ;) ...and since we usually end up preparing the food part, we do tend to plan ahead.
That's why what we're having for lunch is definitely not beer and pizza (but...we do have root beer, and there will be pizza Saturday night--not spur of the moment, though, but thoughtfully planned out.)
The decor will tend to be a bit different--after all, how many guys would go out and buy flowers?
But...the end result promises to be the same--a good time with guitars and friends, and since I've already done the knee thing, no trips to the emergency room in the middle of the night. ;)
Soon and very soon,

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Well, I suppose you could pick out something to complement your guitar straps.....or the guitars themselves. :D
(The -4 finishes go with everything, as do the black or beige straps....)
I am planning a wardrobe around jeans and sneakers...keep in mind, though, there are going to be pictures, probably lots of them.

--Karen Same here. Since the forecast is for rain all day Saturday :mad: I think my guitars will be dressed in green garbage bags accessorized tastefully with silver duct tape. :D |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Well, all's I know is, the folks who aren't among the gatherees are always hoping for on-the-spot pictures of those who are.
(What they don't realize is, the hostess at this particular gig isn't too good with uploading the pictures--I'll gladly take them with my cheapie HP digital, but will need some help with the actual "broadcasting" thereof.)
Are we there yet? Pretty awfully close! :D :D

One more day and counting, but Anita will be on her way soon!

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | If we could do a webcam with two tin cans and a piece of string, then it would be within the realm of my capabilities. :p
As it is, we are getting the things that are important: freshly ironed tableclothes, a flower or two, ribbons for the cases, and a phone call to Ali at 9 o'clock sharp tomorrow night, our time.
(A disclaimer: The referred to tableclothes have not been ironed according to the "Martha Stewart protocol," whereby you must
Open the cloth's packaging with latex gloves
Place the cloth on an ironing board encased in a new, unused cover
Use only an iron that's been prepared with rubbing alcohol
Have two aides rotate the cloth as it's ironed, to ensure that no edges brush the flooring material
Said cloth is then borne to the appropriate surface by four servants in burgundy livery, processing in step to the beat of tympani strikes.
Cloth is then gently floated down to the surface, where the edges are carefully measured for equal distance from the floor, using a micrometer.
End of disclaimer)
However, we will also not use the caveman method of installing the cloth, where you simply rip off the cover, shake it out, and then throw it on the table.
A happy medium will be observed. Which reminds me, I need to go do the tableclothes so that Jewel and Johanna can be restrung in style. :D ;)
This is gonna be so much fun!

"JOISEY JAM" FOR OUR OFC FEMALE-FOLKS, Oct. 23-25, 2009
