A few people have some scheduling problems that I hope they can work out but the other available dates were a no from almost everybody for one reason or another. But the 7th was good with 90% of everybody, actually more agreement on the date than we've had before. So mark your calendar and start spreading the word ... the Woodzie will be Easter Weekend the 7th and 8th of April. It'll be great!

Speak now or forever hold your peace if that's not good for you or if you think it's just generally a bad idea. Does anybody give up drinking for Lent?

From that first mention to the day of that original Woodzie was about 10 days. We're not as good at moving that fast anymore. I got something out of reading that.... mosquitoes! That's another reason not to go into May. This is going to be a monster year for bugs because of all the rain we're having. Gotta love reading the comments on that post, a good example of the group journal.

We can start narrowing it down: The 31st of March. That's Evan's and right after Dad's birthday. It would be pushing it to get ready by then and Glenn and Kim have a gig at Riley's that night making it bad for them. April 7th. Easter weekend. Bad for many families who have other family to visit Sunday morning. But Renee and Randy prefer that day because it gets them in from Silver City for an Easter visit. We have done it successfully on Easter before. April 14th. Right before tax day. Doesn't really matter because nobody we know makes any money anyway. This could be a good day for it. April 21th. Probably the last possible day without getting too close to Jimmie's party. That date would give us plenty of time to get ready. So everybody kick that around, seems to me that it's comes down to the 7th, 14th and 21st of April. I'm going to call Chris, it can't happen without him so we need his input.

We're in Austin now and we're recruiting...it's hard to recruit when you don't have a date. You’re right, we had better decide soon.
