Hi Ben!

I'm pretty sure that Kath and Lucille will be with us, as they already booked a return flight and a room at the hotel :D

[RedjackRyan]

Cool, thanks Marjan

[Rkitko]

Just spoke to the better half and it seems like we'll be coming as well (Ryan and Adam). It's only a three hour drive, so why not?

[RedjackRyan]

Excellent! can't wait to meet you Ryan and your other half as well!

[sister rose]

As far as I know, the girls and I will be there. Redjack....promise not to rat me out to my grandkids...they think I have common sense. :rolleyes:

[RedjackRyan]

Well now my dear, that all depends on whether you try to take me for a ride.. :)

[gisli]

Yes for Gísli and Katrin.

[Bat]

Sister Rose is always taking someone for a ride, Redjack...why not you??
I ask ya.

[RedjackRyan]

You only ask that Barb, because you've never ridden with her :)

[Randy & Betty in Pa]

Sister Rose is always taking someone for a ride, Redjack...why not you??
I ask ya.

Bat...

Having seen Sister Rose drive by while I was standing in a third floor hotel room I have to admit even three stories up I felt fear...... REDJACK I can understand your terror..... Oh Sister Rose, other then when your behind the wheel of a car we all love you ..... But behind that wheel YOU ARE THE STUFF HORROR MOVIES ARE MADE ABOUT!!!!

Best

R.

[Bat]

Sounds like a fate worse than death, and a fitting one for Redjack...but only AFTER the Jannic. After that, enjoy the ride!:eek:

[Agnes]

Yes, please, coz I'm NOT - I repeat NOT! - going to do meat. I'll cook the veggie part, but NOT the meat. :p

[RedjackRyan]

I can see we're gonna need more discipline on this ship, all the galley slaves be gettin a might uppity.

[Agnes]

Hah, you cook the veggie part as well then! :p :D

[RedjackRyan]

no problem, they cook real well in meat juices :D

[Eva]

Eva
YES!!!

[Dar]

Just putting this back on the front page where it belongs. :D

[lucille]

no problem, they cook real well in meat juices :D

AAAAH Agnes, I have just finished dinner which consisted of melt in your mouth roast beef laced with garlic, roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, pumpkin all cooked in the delicious meat juices, and baby peas, covered with lashings of gravy made from the meat juice - the old fashioned way - Mmmmmm, yummy. :p

Redjack does the no cross talk apply to food.:rolleyes:

[RedjackRyan]

Wendy you keep talking like that I may have to make a marriage proposal! YUM

Food cross talk is always allowed.

[janisian]

Myself.
New tour manager Britta v.d. Merwe.
Possibly a driver and/or exec. assistant Denise Tschida.

FYI, I have decided NOT to work the Friday night before, or the night of the Jan-nic picnic, so I can actually relax and have a good time at it.

What the hell, it's only money...

Onya Janis.:) I'm sure we will all make up for the missed remuneration by showering you with gifts of food, booze, music and laughter. And if you have any doubts, the Pearl Foundation will gain. Well, it would anyway, but you know what I mean.:D

[Elliott]

Now that makes my day! So happy you will be with us a little more.... :) :)

[RedjackRyan]

Make sure you use the Janis Ian group to make your reservations, Song.

[Marcia Drummergal]

It would have been much quicker to list Rudies who WON'T be at the picnic. WOW, what a roster!!!

Marcia :)

[Mary6906]

Sister Rose and her backup drivers



LOL... that almost sounds like a good name for a singing group

When people hear her sing.... they back up! :D Ba rump bum!!

JUST KIDDING.... never having heard Sister Rose sing.....

I'm sure she sings much better than she drives..

[hoops]

capt redjack, you know well enough that sister rose will drive in reverse if you need back up drivers :D. i'll be a back up driver if anyone has gps...maybe i can scope out cars while i'm at it :D, you know, to borrow.

I can drive on the other side of the road.:D

Long as you stay off the sidewalks, you'd be fine Dee.

I'll need you to borrow a large truck.... We're gonna smuggle Dee across the border.

[Dee]

Maybe I can find a used Star Trek Transporter on eBay?

Energize!

[Oak Kitten]

From all that I have heard of Sister Rose's driving skills, y'all could well end up in Dee's neck of the woods, and he won't have to travel at all. If you get Diver Boy to navigate, it's a slam dunk.

Oak

[hoops]

capt redjack... maybe a white unmarked van? don't respond i know your answer, no need to incriminate you, because you are innocent. dee, look for the white van on the sidewalk across the street. Not that i'm saying anything, cause i'm not.:cool:

[lucille]

I'm so glad this thread didn't deteriorate into "cross talk":D All I can say is there will be food in the white van.;)

[Dee]

dee, look for the white van on the sidewalk across the street.

People are crashing into bus shelters and restaurants around here lately Hoops so a van on a sidewalk will not look out of place.

[hoops]

ok dee, if you see a driver in the driver seat, it's not the van you want, if it has a satelite on thee roof , it' s the one
peace

[Mary6906]

OK, I'm there.... just booked my flight to Pittsburgh!!

All I have to do now is to send some doubloons to Redjack :p

Got it Hoops. If you are coming by night, you'll have to back the thing up to the front door. I no longer leave my apartment unescorted after dark. Then again, some little bastard stabbed someone just up the street in broad daylight not long ago. GRRR! :mad:

[hoops]

dee,
i'll drive it right to your living room if you want...might have a bit of a squeeze thru the door, but that never stopped me before. I'm sorry to hear about the stabbing. when crap like this gets so close to home it's very sad.

[Dar]

Well it's official. Peggy is coming! She's staying behind in Chicago on Friday but will come in on Saturday for the RudieQ!

[Bat]

WooHoo!!! Yippee!!! Yukahoo!!! Peggy's coming to the Jannic!!! Great, Dar!:D

[hoops]

dar,
fantastic! i can't wait to meet peggy and to see you again

Sounds like a plan, Hoops. Yes, the neighbourhood is getting scarier by the day. You know things are deteriorating when you start seeing those squiggly rival gang tag signatures in your own apartment building. Truly my landlords are money-grubbing idiots. At least this one didn’t live two doors down from me like that attempted murderer did.

[Dar]

dar,

Am I having a senior moment? I don't remember us meeting. :confused:

[hoops]

"JUST KIDDING.... never having heard Sister Rose sing....."

I HAVE. on more than one occassion ;-)
I think she sings better than she drives too.....

[Mary6906]

I just got notification of Jury Duty reporting: July 29th!!!!!

I gotta see if I can postpone.... until AFTER Aug 1-3.... lord knows I want to get on any case at that date.

JANIS.... can you throw your weight around and get me an out? :D

[Elliott]

What notification? I'm sure it must have been lost in the mail! :o

[gisli]

......yeah you shouldnt have sent that wiener to get your mail:o

[Eva]

Mary, that would be SO the wrong moment... :eek:
Redjack, I am happy we don't do any crosstalk in this thread... :rolleyes:

OK, got my date pushed back....it's now August 12th.

So, I'm free to go.... Whoopie!!!

[Bat]

Glad to hear it, Mary...I had to get a postponement once, too...was going to my Chamber Music Workshop that all who went waited all year for, sorta like a Jannic. I really needed that postponement for jury duty, and they were very nice about it...they don't want someone up there who is disgruntled with the system and mad about having to be on the jury! If they are nice, they figure you'll do your best when you do come, and they're right.

[RedjackRyan]

Alrighty boys and girls, Wizards and dragons.. we're getting down to the wire, I will be putting in my order(s) for food and supplies right after the 4th of July holiday.. Folks are still welcome to say they are coming after that point, but you'll take yer chances on the vittles and yer on yer own for the hotel accomadations.

It looks like 50-60 folks will be at this years event, a mix of board members and some of my own running dogs. Its gonna be a fun time in the old burgh ! :)

Is there anything I still need to do, check, pay or call Redjack or am I sufficiently ready to invade Pittsburgh?

I did reserve a room for you, Eva, so thats taken care of and you can pay me when I see you. I know you said you wanted to travel to meet some folks in the area while you are here, if you wanted to give me an idea of where you wanted to go I can get a feel whether or not your destination is 'safe' . Pittsburgh is fairly low crime, but there are some VERY bad sections of town.

[RedjackRyan]

Gisli,
the shortest route from NYC to Pittsburgh comes in at a little over 6 and a half hours. 369 miles roughly.

Thats running Interstate I-78 to I-81 to I-76 not the most scenic route, but its the fastest..

[Oak Kitten]

Just got my tickets...I'll be there!

Joan

Cool Joan :cool: I was hoping you would be able to make it. Looking forward to meeting you in person.

Thanks Redjack! You are a darling *kiss*
The folks I would like to meet up with probably live in Pittsburgh or somewhere in the vicinity (that's a relative thing, I know) I have no idea yet who I will meet exactly and where I will meet them. But I'll know by then. Thanks for caring and reserving a room.

Thanks Redjack for the info and the link.

Travel arrangement have been decided and I will be booking tomorrow. Both the car and flight.

They have put on another flight that arrives just after noon in JFK, we will be taking that one so we have enough time to travel the scenic route to Pittsburgh.

Thanks again for the info.

And you should be! :cool: I don't know if it's going to be fun. I have never met them before and I am not very long on that forum yet. It is kind of a weird forum: they hardly talk about food! :eek: But I do look forward to meeting them too.

Wow, I'm overwhelmed by the response to this event! Thank you all for participating!

I'll be putting in my order for vittles in a few days, I'll be depositing checks as well in the next couple of days.
