"Nothing can ever happen twice.
In consequence, the sorry fact is
that we arrive here improvised
and leave without the chance to practice."
Mark your calendars, cancel all appointments. Limber up that arm. Arrive. Improvise. Nothing ever happens twice. A gathering such as this will not happen again soon.
August 15-17, 2008.
Bury the television in the yard. Find a babysitter, dog sitter, gold fish sitter. Dismember your cell phone. If you have been yearning for a weekend in the New River Valley, a chance to catch up with friends and breathe mountain air, or you just want to drink good beer and throw round objects at other round objects...this is your chance. We'll feed you.
We have a few roster spots open for Operation Overboard, a ten mile canoe trip down the New and a ten mile hike along the AT to our Clover Hollow home. Details will be forwarded if you email me at operationoverboard@blacksburgreads.com or call the Easy Chair Coffee Shop. You know how to find us.
Don't feel like subjecting yourself to the will of the whitewater, the punishment of the rocky trail? Chop, grind, grill or fry your favorite ingredients into a dish. Cover. Transport. Serve with a bottle of something from Blacksburg's Vintage Cellar (buy local, be local). Plan to drink the greater portion of that bottle yourself? Then plan to sleep in a tent. Acreage we have. Bail money we do not.
August 15-17. Be. There.
