Keep July 21 and 22 open because that’s ideal for me. I should have email problems fixed today…
Brian, Tom, Ron , Marceemae and anyone else travelling distance from Grand Junction interested in our Rocky Mountain Session email me here:
mackh@acsol.net >
to keep posted on planning progress.
Mack Hoover
I’d like to offer the invitation to anyone interested in joining me from the Salt Lake City area to carpool over to Mack’s place. Feel free to email me!
Looking forward to seeing all of you there!
Brian~
I’ll carpool with you!!
Directions to my house:
Get on the I-15 and drive south for 13 hours. Make a left on the 74. My house is on the right hand side across the field from the church. You can’t miss it!

Ha ha John!
Well, I was HOPING for some folks who may want to carpool FROM Salt Lake, but I haven’t heard from anyone yet!
By the way Mack, I know you said you’d prefer if we kept the drink outside your home there…so on that note, is there any place close one can procure a proper pint of Guinness?
All that drivin makes for some thirsty whistlers…well, it makes ME thirsty anyway!

Brian,
Maybe after you get John you could swing up through South Pass and give me a lift, too?
I’m looking forward to meeting you guys!

Hey Tom,
Is Salt Lake closer to you than Grand Junction? Let me know!
Bri~
I’m going to do my best to make it but I have been having to work alot of weekends with the new software release here. If I can’t I am going to be in Salt Lake at the end of Aug. so hopefully I can meet up with some of you then.
To y’all who are meeting in Colorado,
I know you will have lots of fun. I had intended to be out there the next week for some kayaking and rock climbing but broke my leg and wrist three weeks ago. They operated on the leg that day and operated on the wrist this past Friday. I’m way behind at work so Colorado is not in my plans for July. I would have changed my schedule to be there but alas, that is not to be.
Please keep us posted as to when and where such an event might happen again. I live in southwest Iowa, near Omaha and a circle covering 10 or 12 hours of driving can get me a lot of different places.
So do we have a list of “For Sures!” and “Possibly’s” yet?
I for one am doing everything in my power to make it out this weekend, but I fear I won’t know for sure until Thurs or Fri of this week.
I am also always interested in getting together with ANYONE whistles or other Irish instruments here in Salt Lake. With enough notice, I might even be able to put together a small group of the locals too! Just drop me an email!!!
Bri~
I am about 75% sure I will be comming, I talked to someone at work about covering for me and he will let me know Monday.
So Ron,
Hopefully I’ll have a chance to meet ya in a couple of weeks. If it doesn’t work out in July, do you have a set date in August for a trip to SLC?
B~
Tentatively it looks like I will be in SLC the week of August 20th Brian.
Perhaps we’ll have to try to put together a Salt Lake City session group in August! I’ll spread the word here for that week. Anyone else able to join us then?
Bri~
I’m still figuring on getting there in a couple weeks.
Tom
Here’s the link to a map of my town.

So Mack,
do we have any sort of time frame set up? I might be able to make it out late Friday evening, but Sat late morning/early afternoon might also work just as well.
When would everyone else be arriving?
Bri~
Hi Brian, That is better!
Marcee can’t, Ron might, Tom will. No other C&Fers yet, but we can hope.
Any time Saturday when you can make it is good. I’ll put you to work either teaching me to play or making whistles!
Oh SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! I can have Mack help me build that squeakershriekinghonkomungus I’ve been meaning to! Now I can record Planxty Brian Dobson after all!!
B~
Howdy, boys!
I’m planning on rolling in Friday sometime. I’m on vacation for the summer (ah, how I pitty you guys with real jobs! I play with kids and get paid for it!) so I can leave pretty early. So, Mack, want to hook up friday evening? If not, no worries. With a full tank of gas, my hiking boots, climbing and fishing gear, and whistles, I can keep myself entertained for a day pretty easily.
I’d love a whistle making lesson, too, if you’re so inclined. I assume we’re going to just make up the weekend as we go, which suits me fine…any schedules sessions or anything?
See you soon.
Tom
Well, I got the official go ahead from my boss today! I can make it in either late Friday evening, or late morning on Saturday. Ron, if you’ll be ther Fri. I may just have to see if I can make it out that night! Any word on Blarney pilgrim yet Mack?
See you guys VERY SOON!!! 
Brian~
Come as early Friday as you want Tom. We can plan the rest of the day. We’ll be waiting up for you Brian! Ron, when will we see you?
I’ll learn something at the Celtic Festival planning meeting tomorrow. I think Bill will be there.
You’re right about Saturday being a play as you go day. Emphasis on play.
Hey Brian tell me what is the key
You intend to use for Brian Planxty?
I’ll gather components and lay out a scheme
For a whistle that will fullfill your dream.
I will teach you to make it.
You can teach me to play it.
And we’ll both walk away with the prize.
