We were driving in New York, and Son was wiped out in the back of the car, and we were speeding to get to the television. And the trooper stopped us and said 'you're speeding'. We said, 'Yeah, we got to get this man to CBS... - Jerry Ricks, Port Townsend 97
With luck (and probably some last-minute flurries of calls and email), Pre-Soak will again begin on Friday, with associated space on the Row. Otherwise, we'll get space elsewhere!

POSTED HERE FOR CONVENIENCE:
Does anyone need driving directions to the Fort? Centrum has them posted on their site:
Jed, Count me in for pre-soak. Will once again see if I can hook up with FP and get down there Friday night (presuming there's enough time between now and then for FP lto earn how to follow directions Sudbury
Great! It will likely be many months before I can confirm Friday space - if at all this time - but things have worked out in the past, so there's every reason to Go With Weenie in the Year of the Unknown...
Jed: You know I'll be there, regardless where we end up. I need that weekend to wind down and get into the PT 'space'. And yes Mr. Sudbury, we'll do the planes-autos-boats thing again. FrontPage
OK - I'm going to go ahead and see if I can book the one seat they seem to reserve for points travel from TO to Vanc. How's that for planning my life way ahead? (hmmmm, sounds like hubris - think I'd better go placate the gods by sprinkling some tequila around my guitar. Then again, maybe I'll sprinkle some tequila around me) Sudbury.

Jed,
Have you included me for Weener Hausen. I plan to arrive on Monday and leave on Sunday with the rest of the gang
Jed, Not sure I ever confirmed my pre-soak status Just in case: will arrive with FrontPage (if he can find the way) late on Friday July 30, departing sometime Sunday Aug.8, once all the Hornitos is dealt with. Sudbury
I did get your message awhile back. Do you plan to get to PT Friday night? If so, I'll keep the space - and we'll have some corn-based potables for your arrival.
Anyone driving up from SeaTac on Fri, on Sat, on Sun ? I would like to fly up to SeaTac, and attend some of pre-soak. Could possibly stay one nite, like Fri or so, with friends on Bainbridge Island, drive up the next morning. Cost way too much for my own rental car for the week last year. I could split a car with one or more, but not at last year's exorbitant rates. Could pass on the friends overnite, and drive from SeaTac with 1 or more Weenies. Slack? , Jed? what are you guys doing? Jed , will you drive up? Want to pass through Berserkeley? Let's hear some chatter out there... Miller

Do good, be nice, eat well, smile, treat the ladies well, and ignore all news reports--which can't be believed anyway,
I'm hitching a ride in with Deacon (which I did last year too). I'm either flying in to Portland on Friday evening (a gracious invitation), spending the night and then leaving for PT with the Deacon Saturday morning or flying into SeaTac Saturday (earliest arrival, 1pm). I'm leaning toward Portland, mainly to check out the supply of pickled beets and other un-etable Norwegian food stocks.
I'm with you on the car rentals out of SeaTac - chipping in for the 'rent-a-wreck' cured me, I try to avoid them completely by hitching a ride in and taking the blues bus out.
...Island, drive up the next morning. Cost way too much for my own rental car for the week last year. I could split a car with one or more, but not at last year's exorbitant rates. Could pass on
I have a vague but positive recollection of my rent-a-wreck thing last year - except for Sunday, when I was waiting outside their closed office and the cab to airport was very late. Perhaps because it's already fuzzy, I'd do it again. Unless...
guys doing? Jed , will you drive up? Want to pass through Berserkeley? Let's hear some chatter out there...
Now That You Mention It Department: my current plans are to drive from SeaTac, but you just reminded me that they may change. I just might have the time (and the vertebrae) to drive up by the time PTCBW rolls around. May not know for another month or so.
But as things stand today: if you fly up Friday, Andrew and I could certainly shuttle you in. We'll see what's up as it gets closer.
I'll be arriving in Seattle on Saturday. If anyone has space, I'd appreciate a ride up to PT. Happy to chip in for fuel, pretzels, poke rinds or whatever.
Alternatively, would consider sharing the cost of a rental although that's not my preferred option as it seems like a waste of good moola.
