The Gathering

Yay, I got mine this week, too!! I am so excited for my first Gathering and to meet you all :-)

I got the all clear from school, too - I was worried for a bit, I am only allowed to miss 20% of any one class and technically I will miss 25% of this one, but I talked to the Director and told her I had a non-refundable ticket and she was super nice about it and said we'll figure out a way for me to do the work before or as makeup!! Yes!! Never got actual confirmation I am in the Hack block, though, so fingers crossed.
I know someone posted it somewhere here, or on the Alarm site, but what is the best way to get there? Fly into Manchester and take the train, I think someone said? I still need to figure out all the logistics... Sooo excited!!

Just finalized and booked my trip. Am so excited now!!! I do feel this one is going to be quite special.
90 days to go!!!!
Kim, did someone help with the travel info. yet ?

No, I've got to seriously get on it. I don't know if I can get there in time by leaving the west coast on Thurs and dont' know if I can get a flight back on Sun that will get me all the way back here without spending the night in chicago or something... any thoughts on that?

Does anyone have any idea of the time for the Gathering Rocks walk on Sunday? trying ot decide if I can do that and actually make it back to the airport in time to fly out on Sun or if I need to stay over in the airport hotel and leave monday. I am surprised, looking up tix and there are actually some for under $800 round trip with only one stop right now... Oooh, I am getting so excited for January, forget xmas!!! :-)

Really glad to hear you'll be there Steve. Excellent news. You'll have to bring lots of baby pics.

Well Andi, there's a percentage of Hack (and Distant Warning previously) members that won't be at this Gathering for many different reason and that makes me rather sad. I love it when we get almost everyone, but then there's always someone missing.

You're are already part of the gang, from the very beginning of this forum & friendship the basic premiss had always been that all are welcome and not to exclude anyone. As friendships develop all groups can appear slightly closed, but the truth remains that all are welcome.

Well said Rue! I've never met a more welcoming, loyal group of people ever.....
Plus the Hack group has the best dancers at the disco! :-D

Caroline Fraser · **Posted:** Sat Nov 07, 2009 10:54 pm

your totally right Rue....i was made so welcome when i joined the Hack =] thought it might of been harder to get invovled in threads...but it really wasnt :-D

will be really good to meet other people from the hack who i only know online at the moment...cannot wait, so excited :-D

So banners ... ... ... anyone started yet??? What ideas have you got? Are you even gonna bother?

Michelle F · **Posted:** Sun Nov 08, 2009 2:27 pm

I've started one - it's going to be 4 classic poppies, 2 in red, 2 in LHS camouflage colours...and I want all Hack members to write messages on it when we get there!

Being as artistic as a cow I defer any creation of banners etc to those more worthy and gifted of such skill!

Michelle F · **Posted:** Sun Nov 08, 2009 3:58 pm

Cows can be artistic Doug!
