Yep the sights are fine and dandy but I wouldn't care if we met in a park and had KFC and soda all day. Just want to meet some great people.

Hmmm, KFC and Soda........... is that a pretty good meal Boog? :rofl:

I'll get some pictures of some of the parks and post them (today's rainy and so maybe it's not a good day to do that). I think this is sounding like a winning idea.

:yikes: I've seen pics of some of the things that roam those woods.









:roflmao:

Do you mean that one horned buck.





:rofl:

Not at this park. :D

Nah. :)

Hopefully we'll hear from some more folks that may try to make it. I've got eight probables and one maybe that I've heard from and a couple more maybes I haven't heard from.

Y'all welcome and y'all come.

So that park has no one eyed purple snake?

depends on how many male pixies are in it!

Could be quite a few one-eyed purple snakes there!

:tongue:

Watch where you put that thing there...young lady!


HI SODA! :wave:

HI NUT :wave:

I didn't say that. :rolleyes2

They just usually stay hidden behind the cotton. :boink:

:bump:

come one,

come all

Well, as it stands right now, I know of only eight planning on Peoria in August ...

Booger and Sodaklostsoul
Mr. & Mrs. Scarecrow
IowaMan
PantyFanatic
Mr. & Mrs. Dicksbro

Plans call for the weekend of August 10th, 11th and 12th. The 10th being the planned arrival day and the 12th being the departure day.

Putting together an event schedule but some of that is dependent on numbers. For sure there will be times for all of us to get together and visit and chat! :)

Please let me know as soon as possible if you even think you're going to try and make it ... either by PM or email.

:wave: The Dicksbro's :wave:

Dammit, wrong year.

I'm going to miss a Hot August Night.

Timid, though I am, it does sound like fun. However, I will be at a conference in New Hampshire then. (It's all in the timing.) Dang it. Is it too early to talk about 2008? :D

Looking forward to 2008 myself. My wife and I are hoping we'll get to see OF and his bride again along with many other Pixies. August is more an interim thing for those of us needing "a Pixie fix." :)

Wish you could be there, Mae!

Thanks, DB. Hopefully pics will be posted?

Me too. August will never cut it either. We start back to school then. I'm hoping Nashville '08 is earlier in the summer.

Darn. Now we'll have to find something to fill in the whip demonstration we had planned. :(

Boy, you guys start school early. :yikes:

We'll miss you, Lil! :tear:

August isn't good for me, either. It's too busy at work. Could the Nashville trip be in July '08?

I would love to go, but I'll probably be in Nova Scotia then and it's just too far... If I had been still in Montréal I definitely would have thought about it!!!

Early August is when our kids are back under the whip as well...& if Nashville '08 does happen it had damned well better be earlier in the summer...a Hot August Night in Music City would be enough to wilt any cold-weather Pixie types, no joking...

When are the Farts to arrive in '08?

Hmmm.......... about three, four hours after the chili is all gone? :shrug:

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :roflmao:

Nashville? in July and August?

Good point...just a guess on my part, but the "Thunder from Down Under" should be right at home in the heat.
I just wanted everybody to be warned, while PAGAN '06 was going down up north, I was suffering thru what turned out to be the most brutal bout of heat & humidity my fair city had seen all year...people would stay inside with the air conditioning unless forced outside with the threat of economic death...

If events need to move up July that should be ok too.

Not sure about the '08 get together or when the OF twosome will be here. Anytime is good. Maybe a June date would work out better for a southern get together. :shrug:

I'm still thinking about our get together this August in Peoria. :wobbly:

I'll start checking on hotel costs, and get together plans assuming the eight are the ones who'll be here. Anyone one else thinking about it, at least let me know so that once I get some prices and we decide on a place, maybe a block of rooms can be reserved so we'll be reasonably close to each other. :)

One question ...

is it too early to put the coffee on :confused:

MMMMMMMMMMMMM coffee!!! :D

I've spoke with one other Pixie that is giving Aug 10th weekend serious thought and there are two more that would like to consider it. Are we saying that date is pretty much in stone now for PAGAN 07?

Scotz,

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.

I think so since I've heard of no suggest for another date. September was mentioned but my wife would be back at school then and that'd make it harder for us (although not impossible since we'd be close to home :) )

Sure hope others can make it. Will keep my fingers crossed (except when typing). :)

Oldfart that maybe the answer for some of our Pixie folks who are in the education feild. Anytime is fine for us. Hoping to see you again in '08.

Hmmm....if that's the weekend, I might be able to swing it. My mom is having hip replacement surgery at the end of July and that's about the time I plan to come back and visit her. Not sure if I could sneak away...but a girl can hope. ;)

OH BOY, OH BOY, OH BOY! That'd be terrific if it all works out for you. My wife and I would love to meet you! :thumbs:

For your mom, more prayers are in order and she will be added to our list. We have a friend scheduled for the same hip replacement surgery soon. These doctors are so good anymore. It's amazing what they can do.

WOW that would be great if it works out for you. Hoping you get to feeling better and that your moms surgery goes smoothly. Our prayers are with you and yours.

:line:

:D


I think it's time to start making PLANS!! :D

And thanks everyone for the well wishes. Mom is having the minimally invasive hip replacement (5" scar) which should make her healing time faster. I am happy she is having the surgery - she has been minimally mobile for a couple of years now and I'm hoping she can get her life back.
