Subject: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 22 Sep 07 - 04:02 PM On October 13, 2007, the Marshall Public Library invites each and every Mudcatter to a party to celebrate the Centennial of the Old Library (the part to the far right in the picture). The party will be from (about) 10 a.m. to (about) 4 p.m. and will include a cowboy shoot-out, Mountain Men and Mountain Women demonstrating various skills, LOTS of music, dancers from the Shoshone-Bannock tribes and Greek Orthodox Church as well as square dancers, a trolley from the Library to Farmaers' Market, a "street train" from the Library to the UP Depot (which will be open!) and the Railroad Historical Society/model railroad museum, food vendors, and a lot of stuff to numerous to mention. But since the Library will actually only 99 years, 362 days old on October 13, you are ALSO invited to ANOTHER, more sedate, affair on October 16! This will include speechifying and a birthday cake. Y'all come, 'cause this is gonna be fun. |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Sorcha Date: 22 Sep 07 - 04:59 PM Rap, my man, I know exactly how far it is from me to you......I appreciate the Invite, but I'm not coming. My piles still hurt from the trip to Wichita. |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Sep 07 - 05:16 PM I hate to miss this as only 1803 miles and about 26 hours of driving separate me from the joyous celebration. Alas, I shall only be there in vituality, but I will be there with a party hat! Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Deckman Date: 22 Sep 07 - 05:27 PM You've already told me that the menu that night at the Pocatello City Jail will be olde MRI's. That's O.K. with me, but I want to know WHICH MRI's. I mean, after all, if I'm going to Pocatello, Idaho. for a "bust out",I need to plan my menu! Bob(deckman)Nelson |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 22 Sep 07 - 05:52 PM They're all Chicken a la King, Bob. I think it was King George III. But boy, did he save the taxpayers money! As for beer -- there's PVB, and you can get (draft or in bottles) Moose Drool, Bitch Creek, Fat Tire, Cutthroat, Polygamy Porter, Provo Girl, Dead Man's ale, several varieties of IP, Guinness, Moosehead, Labatt's, Molson, Weidermann's, Sam Adams, Heineken's, and lots of others. You can, if you REALLY must, also get Bud, Coors, etc. There's a new tapas and wine bar, an Indian restaurant for those who can't be seperated from their vidaloo, several Mexican places, and such-like eateries. Unfortunately, the laundromat/pub closed. |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Bill D Date: 22 Sep 07 - 06:19 PM "I regret I shall be unable to accept your invitation because of a previous appointment which I shall make as soon as possible." some famous guy maybe for the 200th.... |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rowan Date: 22 Sep 07 - 06:45 PM Thanks for the invite Rapaire but the equinox needs celebrating here too. Have a good one! Cheers, Rowan |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Alice Date: 22 Sep 07 - 06:47 PM Sounds like loads of fun! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Alice Date: 22 Sep 07 - 06:49 PM I think I'm the Mudcatter living closest to you, but I can't be there either! Celebrate for me! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: katlaughing Date: 22 Sep 07 - 07:22 PM Put it up on Second City and we can all be there, virtually! Ask dwditty about it. His concert starts in less than hour. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Deckman Date: 22 Sep 07 - 08:24 PM That's it ... "THE LAUNDROMAT'S CLOSED!" I was 'gonna do it ... but if the "cleaner place" ain't open, how the heck can I get through the weekend on one set of skivvy's? SSHHEEUUHH! Bob |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 22 Sep 07 - 10:14 PM You can beat them on a rock in the Portneuf River...if modesty afflicts you, you can beat them with a rock while you are still wearing them. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Alba Date: 22 Sep 07 - 10:20 PM Thank you so much for the invitation Rapaire. Sadly I do not think I can walk the 2,431 miles that lie between The Marshall Public Library and my Home as I have not made the obvious prep required when one undertakes such a roadtrip. I will be delighted to cook and eat some Idaho Spuds for my supper on October the 13th and be with you in Spirit however...*grin* Thank you again for thinking of me/us. Jude |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 22 Sep 07 - 11:35 PM Here's an idea! Since nobody wants to drive to Pocatello, take Pocatello to everybody! Make "The Centennial of the Old Library" a road show! Heck, Pocatello's not that big. Just pack the whole town up and take 'em to Seattle. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Amos Date: 23 Sep 07 - 01:01 AM Where would Seattle put Pocatello if it came? Distributed guest-rooms in the oversized luxury homes of software tycoons? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: JohnInKansas Date: 23 Sep 07 - 04:14 AM Seattle would probably welcome a few Pocatellocators if they'd displace some of the Californicators, but that's even further from us. Cheyenne would be about a midpoint from Wichita, but I think there's even less there in the way of accommodations than in Pocatello. (I'm not sure Cheyenne even has Budweiser.) I'm quite sure that Lin will read a book to commemorate the event. I'll have to do some thinking about an appropriate virtual activity. John |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Georgiansilver Date: 23 Sep 07 - 08:58 AM Sounds really good but bit too far and too expensive from UK. Thanks for the invite. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Sep 07 - 09:26 AM I would have loved to come but i am up in the highlands of Scotland then. Good luck and all the best. Scooby. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Leadfingers Date: 23 Sep 07 - 10:08 AM I cant make it either Rap , but I will read at least PART of a book in celebration! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 23 Sep 07 - 11:17 AM At this point I think that I'll just crouch in a corner and snarl at passers-by. But, like the berries I had for breakfast, this too shall pass. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Stilly River Sage Date: 23 Sep 07 - 12:12 PM Here's my map! I don't have the money or the time, but I'll enjoy planning the trip! SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Amos Date: 23 Sep 07 - 01:01 PM Hey, did you notice you can now drag way-points in Googlemaps? It regenerates the whole path including driving directions and distance computations. Way-point kewl, man! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: hilda fish Date: 24 Sep 07 - 05:43 AM Ah, what the hell! I'll try and get there! I'm only a few thousand k's away. I'll get onto it now. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 24 Sep 07 - 09:03 AM Anyone who comes can busk on the library grounds to earn money for the fare home. How's THAT for a deal, huh? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: frogprince Date: 24 Sep 07 - 02:58 PM Does the song "I've Been Everywhere" include Pocatello? Our local library was cut to the bone for some months, possibly because a continuation of millage on the ballot was worded like an additional new millage. Fortunately, when the local press laid out the fact that it would be closed down if the next millage vote failed, the electorate came through by a substantial majority. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: MMario Date: 24 Sep 07 - 03:00 PM We should open the MudCat Tavern up for this event and invite the Marshall Public Library to stop by for some music and chat! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Celtaddict Date: 24 Sep 07 - 03:18 PM I love checking out, and using, local libraries when I travel. In fact I joined the 'Cat from the one in Falmouth, MA, on Cape Cod, when I requested a song about which I knew only writer and some lines in the middle, and Spartacus had the title, whole song, and identification of album to me in exactly six minutes. I was hooked. This should definitely be a virtual party! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 Sep 07 - 05:12 PM Everyone can make it a Google Roadtrip and make detours or travel a convoluted route between your home and the library. I might visit a few national parks on my way. SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Sep 07 - 12:39 PM The Mudcat Tavern is there to open up, just start the thread off, Bert's card is still good to go and the outhouses have just been repainted after the unfortunate incident with the curried beans. Have a good one, unfortunately, I'm at home alone with the child that weekend and she's allergic to libraries! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: gnu Date: 25 Sep 07 - 01:52 PM Rap : "You can, if you REALLY must, also get Bud, Coors, etc." Canuck Bud (brewed by LaBatts)? Or the other stuff? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Desert Dancer Date: 25 Sep 07 - 04:12 PM Stilly, if you go via Albuquerque, you save 57 miles and get to view the balloons with artbrooks, to say nothing of avoiding lots of freeway (yes, Amos, that feature is cool, isn't it!). ~ Becky in Tucson |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Desert Dancer Date: 25 Sep 07 - 04:15 PM Google claims it's only 14 3/4 hours from Tucson, tho that's pretty optimistic, if you ask me, given that it takes 11 hours for us to get from here to Moab, UT. That must be the time in a "self-contained" vehicle with extra gas tanks... Astro and I enjoyed dancers at the Greek Orthodox Church's festival here the other night -- don't know if we need to drive that far to see them again, though. ~ Becky in Tucson |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 25 Sep 07 - 04:17 PM The barley for Budweiser is grown on Mormon-owned farms right around here. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 25 Sep 07 - 04:19 PM Bet you didn't see the Shoshone-Bannock dancers there. Not many Sho-Bans are Greek Orthodox (although there is a Greek Orthodox church here -- it's even on the National Register of Historic Places). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: astro Date: 27 Sep 07 - 05:37 PM As a old Pocatello resident, I didn't see them there at all during my stay. I'm trying to remember the church...don't. As a ISU student in physics, I wasn't looking for much except alcohol... Astro in Los Angeles and not in Tucson for the moment and am waiting impatiently for Desert Dancer to arrive at LAX.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Skivee Date: 28 Sep 07 - 12:34 AM That sounds like a great time. RSVPing regrets do to a previous engagement. Does Bison mix with Slavaki? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 28 Sep 07 - 10:19 AM I was in Pocatello a long time ago, and ate in a Mexican restaurant where they put the guacamole in a glass ice-cream sundae dish - a big dish! They put a cherry tomato on the top to make it look even more like an ice cream sundae. If that restaurant is still there, I will make the trek. |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Uncle Phil Date: 28 Sep 07 - 08:11 PM Well, Stilly, if we carpool, all chip in for gas, take turns driving... It's still not going to work,is it? Thanks for the invite to the centennial celebration, but it looks like we will miss this one. We'll try to make the next one. When is it? = Phil |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 28 Sep 07 - 09:49 PM Next August 21 -- ha ha ha! We're going to celebrate the opening of the old Carnegie-funded building on the same day they held a reception back in 1908 for the opening. And yes, you're all welcome to that if you want to come! Fooled ya, didn't I? (Interestingly enough, on August 21, 1908 the City Council was still debating how much money they'd raise to support the library that was opening that day.... Plus ca change....) |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Uncle Phil Date: 28 Sep 07 - 11:13 PM ...plus c'est la même chose. And ain't it the truth. Hey, that's not as long as I would have guessed. Thanks for the invite. - Phil |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Sep 07 - 12:33 PM With the route I planned out, I think three weeks is the minimum driving time one way. Four if Yellowstone goes back in the itinerary. I planned it late enough that most of the crowds may have cleared out. That's the only time I'll visit those big charismatic national parks. SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: Rapparee Date: 29 Sep 07 - 08:16 PM Visit Yellowstone in, say, January. You won't believe it! It's wonderful then. |

Subject: RE: BS: An Invitation To Everyone On Mudcat From: KB in Iowa Date: 09 Oct 07 - 12:06 PM I won't be able to make it to Pocatello on the 13th so I will go to my local library and check out a book in your honor, Rapaire. |
