    Ok, I have my crayons and I have already started working on the Pinkstock t-shirt site. 

    Does anybody care if we charge $2 above Cafepress cost for the t-shirts.  The money would go for pinkstock costs and what's left over would go to BCO.

    Also, I'd like to volunteer Bart and Me to provide one dinner.  I don't know what it would be yet.  All you hill people don't have to do anything.  Maybe Fred and Neesie would like to help us.  Heck, bring the grandbaby along and we will put him to work.

    Ok, Last year I was too shy to jump in, but here goes-----I would love to make it to Pinkstock this year. I was just a lurker last year, but I read all the posts upto and after Pinkstock. I even checked out all the pictures that were posted. I am soooo sorry I missed it-it looked like so much fun. So I'd really like to make it this year. Ok, I've got to be honest---I'M NOT REALLY SHY !!!!!!!!! So now can I come ?????

    MB,

    Can we send money for Pinkstock '08?   

     I know you set up a special Pinkstock account for our 2007 adventure.  

    Supplies, food, port-a-potty, etc. will have to be purchased and/or rented for Pinkstock '08.

    Can music save your mortal soul and - can you teach me how to dance real slow.... 

    Okay, I'm getting really excited about PS '08, but my VISA bill says otherwise....then again, I'm not a very good listener Wink

    Shel - a bartender for 10 years?  I've always had a feeling we were soul sisters Cool

    I called my partner in crime today Christine, and left a message....

    Maybe if I start putting back $$ now I can swing it.  I can't stand the thought of you all having that much fun without me!

    My mom almost cried when I told her I would be bringing her grandboys back to New York this summer. I already emailed my dad and my sister requesting things like a tent and a car. Hope they have something we can borrow. We are going to start out 2 1/2 hours from MB's.

    Vickie-My boys wanted to know if any other kids were going to be there. I told them I would ask if Nate was coming. They will be so happy. Remember when you offered to burn those CD's of the 70's music for me? Do you still have the free plan? Maybe I could supply some of the music.

    Dh is going to see what kind of schedule his boss will let him get away with so the whole family can come. Oh I am just so excited. We may be broke but some how this is going to happen for this family this year.

    Do You Know the Way to Ischua (Ish-eeww-aye)

    corrupted by purplemb

    Do you know the way to Ischua?
    I've got some girls to meet. I can't go wrong and lose my way.
    Do you know the way to Ischua?
    I'm going there to find some friends of mine in Ischua.

    MB is a great big fruitcake.
    She invited strangers to her yard.
    For a week, maybe two, they'll drive in the car
    Hours turn into days. How quick they pass
    And all the signs that lead the way
    Were made by Susan in a day

    You can really breathe in Ischua
    They've got a lot of space. There'll be a place where I can stay
    I will sing and dance in Ischua
    I'm going there to find some friends of mine in Ischua.

    Chocolate fountains are the magnet.
    It can pull you far away from home
    With a dream in your heart you're never alone.
    Days turn into night, the fire glows
    And there you are with all your friends
    You feel the love and warmth they send

    I met lots of friends in Ischua
    Do you know the way to Ischua?
    Can't wait to go back to Ischua.

    Anyone considering going to Pinkstock: I have air points I am using for my airline tickets but I was checking out the AAA website for prices and they are so much better than Expedia from many destinations. It you are a member of AAA you might want to check it out. I found some great prices into the Syracuse airport.

    Yeah!  Christine and Donna?  Do I need to bring more chips?  LOL

    It's going to be great fun.  Can't wait to see everyone from last year and many more this year.

    Yup, gotta have Sandra!  Susan must not have seen where she is being blamed for the "lack of time" with our massager!!

    I know Liz....just kidding with you......I'd be the same way if I was flying the first time by myself!!

    Let's get some kind of a list going of who is going, and who is thinking of going.

    I'll start:

    Denise........Going

    Susan.........Going

    MB.............Going

    Vickie..........Going

    Madison.......Going

    Liz...............Going

    Christine.......Going

    CasinoGirl......Going (I think!)

    BrendaBMD.... Going

    And many many more!

    Hugs,

    Liz,

    I'd be flying by myself too for the first time - besides that I haven't flown in years.  I also have at least one layover - LARGE airports.  I'm not sure where I might end up.  I'm still thinking - probably for a while yet.
