Paz, As much as I LOVED eating & peeling those shrimpies I would rather have YOU playing music & hanging out & not doing shrimp duty. You said, "There always seems to be so little time to be able to connect with everyone" I have been lamenting this too... Then you suggested, "Anyways, I do love the Plum Island retreat still on Sunday, but maybe just for a out to eat sort of thing as a group and then back to Ashara's for more music or maybe a house on the beach. I too loved the quiet jam in the living room on Sunday night late and the Ganja Line was a riot." This is a GREAT idea. I LOVE the idea of everyone sitting around at a big old table eating together or hanging out at the beach together with a picnic then going back to play music later. The music sharing was so special but I would also cherish a little time with everyone just sitting around over a meal...the few times I did get some of this was memorable.... ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
