What: A fellowship/gathering event for/by the SHaWG Team. When: Friday night thru Sunday - June 28-29-30 Where: Lost Lake - between Elma and Shelton
I would like to think that the event is not limited to just our team at work, so many of our co-workers and friends are welcome.
Kind of like an "Executive Retreat at Whistler" except for the executive and the Whistler part, if you will.
There is a list of allowed and denied guests available upon request.
I am being funny, laugh now or just pretend to have.
Update:
I have just returned from a fact finding mission to report my findings...
Scroll down to current pictures of the premises as of 06/22/02 17:00.
Here is what is needed and suggested.
We could use one or two extra BBQ units - gas/bricketts/whatever....
Tunes - A nice "ghetto-blaster" of somekind.
Note: Many people like background music in the "background".
Meaning, Nate is getting old and will not be bringing up a P.A. system.
Of course, that is subject to change.
We have three refridgs/ice boxes between the two places, but a cooler or three would not hurt, no? ICE, ICE, Baby!!!
Margaritas are "muy bueno" - Si?
Personal tents = privacy
Yes, there will be some indoor space between the two places -
Ideal for individuals who are inebriated.
So*> bring yur sleeping bag, pillow, blankie, jammies and Teddy bear - just in case.
Lawn chairs/personal support devices would be nice as well, do we have enough seating? I do not know.
Time for me to say "Son, leave them guns at home" - Blaaaaack Lassie.
Some of you folk like guns/firearms. I DON'T.
I do kind of like potatoe guns though...
Some fresh/semi-fresh Idaho grown spuds, 8'x2.6" PVC, hairspray, some other gizmo...
Discretion. Got it? Not just the gun part.
Here is something fun:
We use to get junk golf balls and aim for the island across the way.
Sooooooo, bring some old drivers, tees and a couple of buckets of crappy golfs balls and...
I'll will show you personally why I should remain a musician/artist type
(0r at least a proxy-softball player http://www.dudesrock.com/storm.html)
Really cheap bastards go out and retrieve the ones in the lake.
My fellow WatchGuardian, Steven G. Coleman, often has golf magazines and he talks the lingo.
Steve Blanchard is also in the whole golf-zen thing.
I am thinking that they could teach us a few tricks and possibly put one thru Scotty Roglin's breakfast nook across the lake.
Hell, I might even help out with the bill.
I will provide garbage bags for refuge and I want someone to step forward and make them go away, properly.
I have no plans of getting the ski-boat going. Got one? Bring it.
JetSkis and SeaDoos....sure, great, love them, happy-happy joy-joy.(glad I never bought one)
We have a couple of canoes, bring yur kayak if yu wish...
Zoe and I canoooed around about 6:00pm with no problem - (my 7 year old daughter and yes I am divorced)
But boy, if the "Chuckster" shows up at the public boat launch with his hopped-up 454 dragboat out there,
Think early or late for tranquality.
I hope that anyone that works at SafeHarbor feels welcome to attend.
I am sure that there are groovy/cool folks that I have really never gotten to know, so invite them personally if you wish.
Of course, if you are wrong, you could end up as catfish food or even better yet...
I'll send you off to General Metals in the trunk of the compressed body of a 1977 Ford LTD Brougham 4door sedan.
Just think, you might come back as Dodge Dakota Xtra-cab or a fancy $12K Hyundai,
Perhaps as a Norge or a Kelvinator, or maybe as part of some nice Nortaki flatware.
Other Notes:
Consider this an opportunity, my father will most likely be around and be part of the fun.
He is the one allowing us to use the place/s.
You cannot out party Neal, this cannot be done.
Just reference RFC: 590374.43A-Q
He is a real trip, the real deal and he is my Daddy.
You have never met anyone quite like Neal N. Whorton
Anyway, I hope that many of you will attend.
We might just as well have fun now because I am only a heartbeat away from paying the taxes on the place/s.
By the way, the grey cabin is available for rent.
$750.00 per month or we can negotiate a deal.
