Hey Pinot: I still have not seen hide nor hair of Merlin, but I know he will come home this weekend because he has not finished packing the suitcase.

I also received a call at work from Amex verifying a $5,000 charge. I need to have a word with that boy.

I will need to take him to the airport. Where shall I send him and when???

Hi Auntie Slick!
Merlin, I think, knows where to be - but I'll clue you in a little. The festival is Aug. 5-7. We need to have all the instruments and players there by the 4th. Plan is to have all meet at BWI (Baltimore, MD) on the 3rd who need to fly in. There are some who are close enough to be picked up by the Catmobile. Some have checked in.

Note to Kitties: check in with me if you haven't - need to make sure noone is missed!! Love ya!!

Purrs, Pinot

I heard on the radio today that a World Harpists' Convention or gathering of some sort is taking place in Vancouver this weekend.

I assume Ming is there, so Merlin, you and he can fly together from Vancouver to BWI! Won't that be fun?!

Hello fellow kitties Merlin here:
Yes, I had to go away on a shopping trip for my and while I was downtown I ran into Ming. He's at home wif me right now and we are waiting on Meowmie to get home from w-u-r-k so we thought we should sneak on PT. Wow, you should see how big this harp is. Meowmie's gonna flip when she sees how much room it's taking up, but at least Ming can chime a few tunes and make her feel better.

Ooops, the doorbell is ringing. Ming, can you get that please?

OMG.......Will have to catch you later. I think Ming may have invited the whole convention over.

So THAT is where Ming and his harp went off to! Well, at least he's in good company. Slick, isn't that harp HUGE? I don't know where I'm going to store it, the hall closet is already designated for the bagpipes. Why couldn't he have taken up the flute??

What can I say???????
Excuse me now while I try and get some sleep.

Signed,
tired Meowmie

Thank you,

Dear Pinot:
Mewomie will be taking myself and Ming to the airport tonight. We'll be landing in MD around noon on the 3rd. She had to book us on the redeye because they needed part of the cargo space for that big harp and the bagpipes. By the way Ming had the opportunity to play at a wedding on Sunday night. There is a recreation complex across the street from our apartment and weddings take place there all the time. On Sunday Ming was out in the courtyard practicing when a wedding party drove up. They loved his playing so much that the bride wanted him to pipe her into the hall. For that task, we were rewarded with the most scrumptious crab and shrimp. Yummy! OK, gotta go and finish packing. See you tomorrow.

Your furrends, Ming and Merlin.

Oh, I'm so excited! Cassie, Merlin, Ming,Star Cassandra Josephine Spunkette Ghost Killearn, lvpets crew from Texas, I'll be at the airport to greet you. As far as I know, the rest of the gang will be meeting at Groucho's and they'll pick us up in the Catmobile. I have learned an instrument! I wanted to make sure I could play before I announced it - I'll show you when we meet!

Side note: don't forget the cowboy gear, too, for where we're going after this weekend!

See you all soon! Love ya!

Purrs, Pinot

Slick, thank you for keeping me updated on Ming's antics, er..adventures! Mac and Kimba will be arriving in MD. tonight, no instruments, thank God! Our Catmobile group is sure growing by leaps and bounds, isn't it?

My gang want to remind the driver of the Catmobile that on the drive from Baltimore to Dublin, to be sure and swing by Ann Arbor to pick up Bob and Sydney with their Uilleann pipes, Sparkler with her dancing (Scottish, Irish, and square) shoes, Nelson with his bodhran, and the other four with ...what? anything? (I seem to be hearing the sounds of flutes and tinwhistles around the apartment lately)...
