1967.0. "FELINERS Get Together?" by MPGS::MARGOLIS (Paula Beth) Mon Nov 14 1988 17:59

    I am finally in close proximity to many of you.  It would be 
    wonderful if I could finally meet some of you!  Would anyone
    be interested in a get together with a picture show and tell and 
    maybe dinner?  If I remember correctly, this may have been done
    sometime around X-Mas of last year.  But I wasn't near enough
    to get involved.  :'(  
    
    Let me know and I'll try to plan something...

1967.10More info...MPGS::MARGOLISPaula BethTue Nov 15 1988 18:236
    The get together will probably be in the Shrewsbury/Worcester area
    unless I hear any strong objections.  Not sure as to exactly where 
    or when yet.
    
    I'm thrilled that there's so much enthusiasm!  Please hang in there.

    I can't do Shrewsbury or Worcester!  sorry, kids!  Candia is toooo
    far.

1967.14I know December is a busy month, but..CUPMK::TRACHMANZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298Tue Nov 15 1988 20:092
    Or, (am I crazy - no)  I was kind of thinking of have a Christmas
    open house for the Feline Noter folks sometime in December - ??
1967.15But, Where is Candia?WITNES::MACONEIt's the story of a man named BradyTue Nov 15 1988 20:165
    Gosh E.T.  That really is mighty swell of you.  
    
    Will we get to bring our cats?
    
    	-Nancy
1967.16Where do you live, Nancy?CUPMK::TRACHMANZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298Tue Nov 15 1988 20:2314
    Well, sure Nancy, if you think that they can handle mixing with
    19 other cats and still have a good time!  I would certainly
    enjoy seeing everyone's cats, but it could be tricky!!
    
    Yeah, where is Candia - It's a little North East of Manchester off
    101 East heading toward Deerfield - 26 miles from DEC MK.
    
    
    It's something I have been thinking about - maybe a good idea,
    maybe not.  We'll see..  It could be fun - sometimes it's more
    fun to have a house party than meet in a chilly eating place.
    Let's see what develops...
    
    E.T.
1967.17WITNES::MACONEIt's the story of a man named BradyTue Nov 15 1988 20:296
    Wow
    
    I'm actually closer to  Candia than Worcester!!!
    
    That's Pepperell for you.  Close to all the important metropolitan
    areas.  I knew I moved there for a reason.
1967.18I'm game!!!SWAT::COCHRANEScattering like light.Tue Nov 15 1988 23:277
    I'll do both!!  As a former Worcester area resident, I have
    plenty of places to sack out if I don't feel like driving home.
    
    E.T., it would be swell to meet all the cats!!Katenka's the only
    one I've met personally!
    
    Mary-Michael
1967.19More and more enthusiasm...I LOVE IT!MPGS::MARGOLISPaula BethWed Nov 16 1988 10:0922
    I thought the holiday season would be a nice time for a get-together!
    I think we should plan something several weeks prior to Christmas,
    though.  'Tis the season to go on vacation!  I would volunteer my
    house, except that I'm 40 minutes south of Shrewsbury and I won't be
    moving in until December 9.
    
    E.T. and the other person I spoke with (you know who you are), thanks
    for offering (?) your homes!  Let me know if you really want to do this
    and we can plan...
    
    Looking forward to meeting everyone, Paula
    
    P.S.  Date Suggestions so we don't run around in circles:
    
    Saturday Dec. 17, Sunday Dec. 11 or Dec. 18 or some day after work...
    
    Us SHRites have to work Nov. 19, Dec. 10, Dec. 23 and Jan. 2, but
    we get X-Mas Week completely off!
    
    
    
    
1967.20Another vote for E.T.AKOV75::BROWNEight (cats) is not enoughWed Nov 16 1988 11:159
Wow -- an opportunity to visit E.T. and her horde!!  Candia isn't exactly
close to Wilton, NH but it is probably closer than Worcester, and how
could any of us pass up a trip to the Inn!  

I'd love to get together, and vote for northern MA/southern NH as a
general area.  Here's hoping...

1967.21Is it Party Time????CUPMK::TRACHMANZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298Wed Nov 16 1988 12:228
    Dates could be tricky - I just looked at the old calendar - the
    only date that's out is the Dec 17/18- that's the cat show in
    Quincy.  These dates are good:
    
    Dec. 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 31st.  how many can make any or one
    of these?
    
    E.T.
1967.22I'll be in CandiaBRAT::GERMANNWed Nov 16 1988 12:386
    I can, and will, make any of them.  Course, living in Manchester
    makes it easy.  Besides, maybe I can convince E. T. that Bandit
    would make a good addition to the full inn!?!?!?  (Actually, I am
    growing quite attached to her)
    
    Ellen
1967.23Mostly good...SWAT::COCHRANEScattering like light.Wed Nov 16 1988 12:435
    The 10th, 17th and/or 18th (cat show one day.  Gotta get those stocking
    stuffers!) and the 31st aren't good for me.  Everything else is
    clear at the moment.
    
    Mary-Michael
1967.24CUPMK::TRACHMANZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298Wed Nov 16 1988 12:597
    Keep in mind, folks, that I will be taking periodic furface counts
    during the course of the party!!!  Just to ensure that there are
    no more than or no less than 19 four-legged felines!  There will
    be someone at the door checking large pockets on your way out!!!
    hmm, and I think, on your way in - no smuggling!!!!!
    
    E.T.
1967.25Me, too; me, too!BCSE::GOGOLINWed Nov 16 1988 12:5916
    I'd love to join the get-together(s), too. I'm in Nashua, so a 
    Worcester-area party would be hard for me to do unless it was on a 
    Saturday or Sunday.

    Elaine, if you're serious about having it at your place, that would be 
    great!  It would be a real treat to see your babies in "person" (for 
    lack of a better word). My first choice is a house party (as opposed 
    to a restautant), too, although it's more work for the host/hostess. 
    I'd be glad to help. If we did pot luck it wouldn't be as much of a 
    burden on you. If it's a night-time event, I have room at my place for 
    one or two people (or more, depending on how friendly you want to get 
    :-) who would rather not face a long drive home late at night. 

    Waiting eagerly to hear more plans,

    Linda
1967.26CUPMK::TRACHMANZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298Wed Nov 16 1988 13:212
    Great, thanks Linda.  Pot luck sounds fine!  I, too, can put up
    a few folk.  This sounds fun!
1967.27Me tooNSG022::POIRIERChristmas shopping already?Wed Nov 16 1988 13:246
    I would like to attend too!  And I would be happy to make some treats
    for the humans...Just need to know the date/time before I can commit
    to something.  The only weekend totaly out is the 17/18 - my brother
    is graduating that weekend.
    
    Suzanne
1967.28WITNES::MACONEIt's the story of a man named BradyWed Nov 16 1988 14:0215
    Wel, Portia has told me that I can attend on any of the previous
    mentioned dates, as long as I do not stay out Porty's bedtime, since
    Porty likes to be tucked in by her mommy.  Portia syas that she
    would prefer the party NOT to be on the 31st since Porty is concerned
    about her mommy driving on New Years Eve since that is a day that
    many intoxicated people tend to be on the road, and Portia does
    not want mommy to get hurt.
    
    Speaking for myself, I would gladly contribute to a pot luck for
    the people.  I am sure that Kate's Pookie will be taking care of
    the kitty cat treats.  After all, nobody could match Pookie's Pounce
    Souffle.

1967.29Food, food, food...SWAT::COCHRANEScattering like light.Wed Nov 16 1988 14:033

    Mary-Michael
1967.30Sounds like fun...BRUTWO::SOBEKWed Nov 16 1988 14:095
    Count me in if the date is open. ...It's a bit of a ride for me,
    but worth it to get together!
    
    Linda
1967.31exMPGS::MARGOLISPaula BethWed Nov 16 1988 14:2411
    I haven't heard any objections to Dec. 11 so far.   That date is 
    perfect for me since I need to drive from Millville to Burlington, VT
    on that day.  I'm working on Dec. 10, as I said before, and I'll 
    be in sunny Florida on the 31st.  
    
    A pot luck sounds wonderful.  I'll do my best to stir up something.
    It might be tough, depending on when all my stuff is moving, but 
    there's always takeout ;').  
    
    I feel so good having all these replies to my suggestion!!!

1967.33Two Parties - The South & The North CUPMK::TRACHMANZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298Wed Nov 16 1988 17:119
    Well folks, this sounds great -   TWO PARTIES!!!!!
    
    Would the Shrewsbury folks let me know which night that party
    is going to be on so the party in the North can be a different
    night for those wishing to attend both parties.
    
    this is good - two nights for fun and kitty pictures!!!!

    My gang has given me permission to come to this feline party too.
    The only dates i can't make it are the 10th, 17th and 18th.  I can
    bring any kind of people food, too.  Elaine, I can't wait to meet
    ALL of your kitties.  You've met all but one of mine.
    
    Let me know when.

    Great!  Holly, will your mom come also I hope, and are you going
    to be going to the Party in Shrewsbury also - you would be close
    enough to attend both, you party animal!!

1967.36FELINE-North -- maybeCIVIC::JOHNSTONa pole in my right half-plane? pfthhhh!Wed Nov 16 1988 18:3012
    Of the proposed dates the only time I could make it would be on
    3-Dec as I will be in in Texas mid-month.
    
    Cardigan would like to attend also as she is a very sociable girl,
    but I shall have to be firm with her about staying home.

    I would certainly bring edibles, maybe something Tex-Mex, maybe
    not.
    
    Elaine, 19? are the other three visitors, cousins, or what?

    Gee, I'd volunteer my house but I don't know if I'll have a bathroom
    at that time!!! (I'm doing some re-construction and presently
    don't have walls or a door in the bathroom.)
    
    I make a hommus to die for. Anyone else like hommus?

1967.38Good!CUPMK::TRACHMANZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298Wed Nov 16 1988 19:516
    Well, Ann, you are the only one so far that has noticed - it's
    not 19 yet, but could be by 12/3.    Hope you can make it!
    Too bad, the kids & I would love to meet Cardigan - guess
    pics will have to do.
    
    E.T.
1967.39 SELL3::JOHNSTONa pole in my right half-plane? pfthhhh!Wed Nov 16 1988 21:0319
    well, Elaine, if you _really_ don't mind, I _may_ bring Cardigan.
    I just didn't think it would be fair to Maggie & Milo, because I
    wouldn't ever be able to bring them.  Maggie despises cats and Milo
    doesn't like crowds of people -- I don't know how he'd handle crowds
    of cats.  If I _do_ arrive with Cardigan, you can be assured that
    I will not leave without her [I taken to carrying mace with me to
    the vet so that I can force the receptionists and bystanders to
    unhand her after I've settled my account.]
    
      Ann
    
    P.S. to those cruising bars and placing cats: while my home is not
    full of cats, Maggie would suffer _serious_ trauma were I to arrive
    home with another cat--I'm not kidding and neither is the vet. 
    I leave it to your sensitivity and discretion not to ply me with
    hard liquor and pitiful pictures, because I am a woeful sucker for
    things wearing fur and small children.
    
    
1967.40Can I come please?REGENT::MICHAELSONThu Nov 17 1988 13:116
    Just returned from a trip thus late in reading this note.  Can I
    come, please?  Worcester area great for me  -  will bring food 
    just let me know whether hot, cold, snacks etc.  -  o.k. dates for

    I can't make it to either party.  I have a second job and unfortunately
    I am working on those time frames.
    
    To everybody going -   have a fun time and take plenty of notes
    to enter here.

         I can't go either.  I had hoped that at the last minute I
    could get things worked out to go but I accepted a job in Seattle
    yesterday and I start work there this Monday it looks like and 
    I have lots of things to try to get finished before I relocate
    this weekend.  Have a good time.

    Gee, I'm really sorry some of ya can't make it - the more the merrier!
    Sounds like fun will be had - I really think that FAT will be added!
    The "Kind Offering" list has wonderful things on it.  If anyone
    else needs directions or anything, let me know TODAY early.  I
    plan to work at home tomorrow - the electrician is going to be
    working on the outside wiring - give me a call at home if anyone
    needs directions or anything.  The tree is standing (still standing
    after it went up last night - Pashenka climbed right up the middle
    of it to the top, sigh.)  I don't even want to talk about what the
    other did to it.  I can hardly wait to put the dangling ornaments
    on it - all they had to play with last night were the lights. sigh
    It's going to be a fun Christmas - I have plans of going hoarse
    from yelling at the crew.  I think I will spray the whole tree
    with Bitter Apple.  Only my oldest 6 have ever seen a Christmas
    tree - the others are going wacko wacko - and so am I!  They 
    will be very entertaining at the Party, I think.
    
    See you all Saturday evening!

1967.65Can't make it --#$#%?!MEMV03::CROCITTOIt's Jane Bullock Crocitto nowFri Dec 09 1988 17:0310
    Hi---
    
    I *just* saw the replies re: the party--I've been really busy. 
    I'd love to make the Sat. (12-10) party, but that's the day we are
    tree-trimming and Christmas shopping.  My husband's going away
    (Col. Springs!!) all next week, so we need the time to finish up.
    
    Have a blast and let us all know how it went!

1967.69A good time was had by all...HILLST::MASONExplaining is not understandingSun Dec 11 1988 21:436
    Thanks ET, for letting us use your house for the party.  We had
    fun, too much food, and got away with nary an extra kitty. With
    all those guys in your house, it'll be weeks before you notice the
    extras.

    Thanks ET - The party was wonderful, your home was beautiful - but
    your cats beat everything.  What a wonderful bunch of felines.

1967.71Thanks Elaine!! It was great!SALEM::DEFRANCO_JMon Dec 12 1988 11:4111
    Thanks for the party Elaine.  It was excellent.  John and I had
    a great time and met some very nice people and some very nice cats.
    
    Meeting your feline family had a profound affect on John (as you
    already know).  I'll be opening up a new note to explain all that.
    
    Again, thanks!!
    
    Jeanne, Cali, Sam and our new arrival (Oops, who said that!)

    Our thanks too, Elaine - and it was so nice to meet all of the people
    who were there!  It was also fun to see (and show) lots of kitty
    pix, and to meet all the ZhivagoCats :^}

1967.74Thank you all for a wonderful time!CUPMK::TRACHMANZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298Mon Dec 12 1988 13:2215
    I would like to thank each and every one for a wonderful time!
    It was great meeting everyone!  I am still in shock that almost
    all of my cats STAYED UPSTAIRS and socialized (what I mean is
    that there was a cat in almost every lap) !!  I really thought
    that after the first 3 or 4 people arrived, that they all would
    be under the bed!  I had a great time - thanks to ALL for a lot
    of fun!                                
    
    Yesterday the kids all asked me where are all those nice people
    with those nice warm laps??  How come they didn't come back today???
    
    E.T. _with_a_house_full_of_MORE_spoiled_rotten_Zcats !!

    Thanks to both Elaine and Donna for two great parties! I enjoyed meeting
    the Feline noters who attended them as well as the resident cats.

    The food at both parties was so tasty and tempting I'll be waddling into
    the New Year!

    Thanks, E.T.!!  What a great party!  It was nice to see some old
    friends again and to meet some new feliners (especially Jeanne and
    John!).  Your kitty cats are gorgeous...I tried to steal Yuri, but
    he insisted on bringing his 7 best friends....
    
    Thanks!
