sigh
Darn that business meeting of my husband's. Why couldn't it be scheduled one week earlier? He does want to do as I suggested and spend the weekend before in Chicago--which means I can't come to the get together afterall. It's just too much. If only I could just stay the week, but I can't take that much time off of work with this short notice at this point.
I wish he would have decided sooner so I didn't get myself all looking forward to going.
I'm sorry gang. I was really excited about coming.
Sulking a bit now...

The Rolling Stones spend a few months here (I'm in the Toronto region) preparing for every tour. It's their home away from home. I'm not going to argue with that.

I was looking forward to meeting you.
I tell my therapist all about you guys. It'd be nice to be able to picture you too.
Maybe next time.

...we could sulk a bit together, if you like..'cause I am pretty frustrated, too.
I live well within driving distance.
I love driving trips.
Practically ANY other weekend would have been okay.
Grrrrr. I'm sulking, too.

Not to evoke negative carma, but has the committee considered a plan in case a participant experienced a psychiatric event?
Also, how does one get on "the list?"

Can most people make a 6 p.m. dinner reservation?
I've been working with Party Cloudy, and have a place in mind.

With all the Babble experts at hand, what could go wrong?

In reply to Do you live close by? » Toph, posted by Dinah on May 23, 2005, at 9:26:29
Yes, relatively, I live near the Illinois-Wisconsin border, but please don't ask me to bring cheese. Consider me for the "leaning towards coming list." As far as the gender thing goes, I hope I wouldn't ruin things for Bob if I made an appearance. ; )

So that makes those who have posted that they are definitely coming:
Partly Cloudy
Poet
Dinah
Fallsfall
Auntie Mel
AnnieroseAnd possibly coming: (fingers, toes, and eyes crossed)
Rainbowbrite
All Done
TophSorry again if I've missed someone.
Does everyone have their Babblemail on? If Dr. Bob doesn't actually set up a Yahoo group, so far there are few enough of us that we could Babblemail.Of course, he STILL hasn't announced it. And there may be those who haven't said anything yet.

In reply to Re: So will you be joining us? Please? (nm) » Spoc, posted by AuntieMel on May 23, 2005, at 9:13:47
Thanks Mel & Dinah! Complications as of now are: I will have family passing nearby after a Memorial Day trip, and they are threatening... er, I mean, considering detouring towards me that weekend. And, ok, I was also born without the part of the brain that allows one to be sure what they will do more than about 8 hours in advance (including when it regards my favorite things).
But it WOULD be a shame not to at least say hi at some point. So hopefully I can do at least that, more if possible. So if details get sent out at some point, please send a copy my way. :-)
Was thinking about what you said Dinah, about some people possibly still being in the decision making process. I wouldn't be surprised if some will decide pretty darn late, primarily if they live fairly close. While in typical RSVP situations that is often discouraged, here it would be nice if there will be a way for people to opt in late (though they may have to miss out on at least the dinner reservation) and get info. Some may genuinely not know yet how they will be feeling then and what they can handle.
FYI: this 10 year-old PC I have been making do with is tormenting me with some new and threatening sounds as of today. In case something goes really wrong soon, sometime before the party weekend I'll try to find a way to get up to speed on things. And, email/babblemail I can read from my cell phone (couldn't reply to babblemail from it though)... and/or I may send someone my contact info...

If you send Dr. Bob or (if you trust me) me, your info, I'll let you know what is planned Saturday if you miss Friday. Or you can always decide to come Friday before Friday evening, and have the info sent to you. It might even be that a more detailed itinerary will be available by then. There is less than two weeks, but that's longer than two days. :)
I know people might decide at the last minute, but I'm still concerned that Dr. Bob didn't announce it more widely. For many people it isn't as easy as a short drive. :(
Oh well.

The last I heard from her was 2 days ago. She is having trouble accessing babble. I think she posted about her tech problem, but I can't find the post now.
Maybe email her?

Poet
Fallsfall
Gardengirl (we're still hoping)
Auntie Mel
Rainbow Bright
All DoneAnyone I missed??? Please let me know here.

I think if everybody's OK with families being there, fine, but if anyone isn't, maybe the first priority should be making Babblers comfortable?
