Pagan '08
 

For anyone that is interested, this post apeared in another thread, this was posted by Oldfart.

"We plan to be in the States 2008 - July 28 - August 3 for EAA's Oshkosh airshow.

Mrs Oldfart was wondering if before Airventure would be better."



Is Mrs Oldfart's idea worth a go? We could hold PAGAN '08 before the airshow.

Works for me if the school peeps can make it before school starts. :D

That's a ways off but I like the idea a LOT. :thumb:

Scores well for the DBs. :)

The further in advance I know the more likely I can avoid scheduling something that would conflict.

Anytime before Aug would work well here, I know that some of us have schoolkids starting back earlier & earlier every year, or so it seems...

The week before the OshKosh airshow is July 20 - 26, 2008.


How about a three day period during that week??

This would give peeps a chance to come for one, two or all three days.

I could work with that. :nod:


We can't say it'll be a last minute date. :rofl:

Sounds good to us, Scarecrow! :)

If we've picked the week, we now need to pick the "N".

Sorry Lou, Newcastle-on-Tyne's probably not in contention this year, nor Norwich.

Nashville works for me, I think. I have babysitters in Tennesee :D

Aw dammit... this time I will be home in Niagara Falls.

We talked of Nashville before.

It still sounds good to me.

Any other options?

I know that will work for me. Hoping a "friend" will be back by then so he can come too. Nashville is a good thing. I have never been there but always wanted to.

Nashville sounds good here too...since I"m in Chattanooga, even I could maybe drive up for atleast one day...me & mr SD that is.

Pixies Adult Gathering At Nashville sounds good to me also. Plus Nashville is in easy reach of a lot of Pixies on the East Coast , South East and Midwest of the USA. So any or all Pixies lets hear from you.

Maybe.............

possibly...

Hmmm.......... Nashville huh? I live only about 12 miles from there. Oh....... you probably mean the one in Tennessee huh? :(

Can't promise anything but I could see myself making that trip.

:wave: Sounds good to us as of now! 20th is a Sunday so something like the 22nd to 24th would still give time for the OF's to get to Oshkosh.

Who knows, we might even try to drive up there after PAGAN 08. :shrug: Stranger things have happened.

Anyway, a Nashville PAGAN might be fun ... if warm. :)

Ok for now.

If it's set in stone then Steph can put in for her vacation time. :)

Woo Hoo! Now if we can get Coaster, and Lixy, and IAKG, and IowaMan; and Tingling Tess; and IWM; and WildIrish; and ... well ... 20 or thirty more Pixies on board ... this could really be something! :)

Well I obviously haven't a clue what I'll be doing with ny life by then, but I'd certainly love to try and get there. I'll start saving now...

We can't be accused of overly short notice.

I think I can pencil myself in to be in Nashville about that time.

Lilith'll kneecap you if you don't make it.

Hm, airshow and PAGAN...no fucking way I could make it to something like that, given my work schedule, lack of transportation, and expense.

But I would so fucking want to!

The only way I don't make it is if the wife decides "we" need a vacation that particular week...& I have far more reasons to fear her wrath than any possible threat from the Lassie from Talahassee any day...

Scotz

You can run away from home, but I'm less sure of Lil.

Scarecrow'll tell you that Niagara was very partner friendly in it's best sense.

Mrs OF was a little unsure of meeting my playmates, but I think she got a bigger buzz out of it than I did.

My wife was the same. Not totally sure of meeting everyone but thoroughly enjoyed the time. In fact, I was almost surprised at how great a time it was. :)

I have to agree with OF & DB, my wife was aprehensive of the get together. Once she met everyone she had a wonderful time. It is a freindly time to spend with people we have met online and she cannot wait to see them (the ones who can make it) again in Peoria. She was also glad to hear about PAGAN '08.

:bump:


Any more Ideas or interest?


:starwars: :jedi:

Ya'll could always come to Chattanooga next year...and if it's in June we'll have Riverbend going on (one week long festival full of concerts)...then there's the Aquarium here. It's not the biggest of areas, but it's not all that bad...I've lived here alllllll my life.

If anyone wants to practice these get togethers before commiting to PAGAN 08 ... there's always Peoria on 8/10th this year :). In fact room rentals are now being reserved. :D

(Do you get the impression I'm pushing for a nice turnout? :shrug: )

:D

Go ahead and push all you want to.

Does anyone know how to get more people interested in either '07 or '08??? :huh:

07's out for me, but 08's a goer.

Looking forward to seeing Mrs ScareCrow in Peoria :) and will even try to cross the Mason Dixon line (I-480) :eek: next year.

Was that a touch of jubilation, PF?

I would LOVE to go to Nashville to meet everyone next year!!!!

Not sure if I'll have the money or time to do it yet, but I'll definitely keep it in mind.

I'm sort of in that same boat as Neige.

Hmmm, at least if I fall overboard she'll be able to have a good shot at saving me. :p
