PLANNING THREAD FOR THE 2004 FLORIDA ANNUAL GATHERING

When Sunny gets blue..lovely song.
Gonna be all sixties and I'm bringing my double bass for the authentic sound.

acoustic bass--yes...goodnight yawl.

OKOK, what did the euros do today?

First we got up pretty early and went down to Sebastian Inlet State Park to to watch a surfing competition, awesome! Will go there tomorrow too, before we go to Vero Beach for Panzade's gig.

After the surfing competition we picked Rae and Misti up for dinner on the waterfront, to see a...










ROCKET LAUNCH!!!!!

Now talk about awesome, I've never seen anything as spectactular as a rocket launch.. Sorry that you missed it, Roger, I've ordered one for you too, but delivery is in mid-May only... sorry, buddy.

What a great night! Dinner was awesome but the company was out of this world! With a rocket launch to boot!

I think we may need to rethink this annual gathering and make it at least twice a year!

The plan tomorrow.....Mom has to work, Stefan and Ursula are going to Sebastian and then Panzade's concert and I have to work from six until midnight ~ oh joy!

Stefan and I (hopefully Ursula, too) are going fishing sometime next week at the Cocoa Beach Pier ~ same place I caught my three huge red fish a few months ago.

Hey ~ I'm broke! I gotta feed these people somehow!

Roger, Joanne and Panzade ~ can't wait to see ya'll ~ hurry up already!

I'm packing, I'm packing!

I know you are Roger!

Dougy is coming up this weekend and he can't wait to meet you! Just one tip ~ don't offer to take him just anywhere because he'll pick Disney Wofld.

Not only will Mom not go, but it's too expensive We'll figure out something fun to do.

How expensive? How long will it take?

Roger! Disney is WAY too expensive ~ we're talking over two hundred dollars for four people just to get in the place. And Mom has already said that she won't go. We'll figure something out. Dougy is pretty cool just to hang out with ~ he loves asking questions and being around adults.

No Disney! I mean it!

Roger! You don't fool with Mother Nature!

Yeah! What he said!

Had a lovely time with Big Dice and Urs at our street fest last night. Went to The Patio restaurant afterwards and yukked it up. It was 241 night and BD and I put some liquor down. DO NOT! I repeat, DO NOT get into a drinking contest with BD. It is an excercise in futility. Ursula was kind enough to let us practice our broken German with her. A lovely couple. Here's a group mug shot:

Great update, panzade! Thanks for sharing the pic. Looks like a nice little gang to hang out with

And just where do you conduct your services, panzade? Our lady of the Dew Drop Inn?

As a matter of fact it's called The Long Branch Saloon and Tabernacle

Roger what time does your flight leave?

Depart Albuturkey 4:45 p.m. Leave Denver 6:20 p.m., so plan on stepping out the door in 15 minutes

Hi folks, jjorge here (lurking as usual)

Nice pic Panzade. I see a lot of teeth there. Guess that means y'all are having fun.

cheers

Hope everyone is having a drink for me.....

Hi jjorge!

Don't worry margo, we'll be having a drink for everyone who wanted to be here and couldn't!

I've just finished preparing everything that can be done in advance for the bar-b-que tomorrow. Macaroni salad, potato salad, baked beans, etc.

I hope everyone remembers to BRING THEIR OWN BOOZE!!!!!

We will be taking lots of pictures tomorrow and get them up quickly so everyone can vicariously join in on the fun!

Panzade, plan on arriving anytime after 1:00 pm (we should be up by then , and we should be eating around 3 or 4 pm.

We're so looking forward to seeing you and Mrs. P, and we also heard about the great time Urs and Stefan had the other night with you guys.

So ......... bring your appetitie and a guitar or two and lots of belly laughs.

Hugs, Jen
