Dublin OH Irish Festival! More Catmobile Midwest fun!

[cassiesmom]

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

Dear Pinot,

My meowmie said I can go from Midway to BWI on the 3rd of August. I'll meet everyone there.

Thank you,
Cassie

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)...

Oh, I'm so excited about this trip! The Catmobile is here and ready to go. Soncat is on his way to pick up our cheezburgers right now. Sophie arrived safe and sound, have any of you seen her limo???? That is one sweet ride! Last night Sophie spent a lot of time talking with Meowmie. Every time I walked by they stopped talking, could something be up?

This afternoon Inka and Sophie went shopping at Quakerbridge Mall. They came back with so many packages they had to take a taxi. I'm not sure of what all they got but there's a big trunk here. Several of our other fellow kitties arrived a short while ago so now we'll start to party.

Okay everyone, charge your cell phones tonight and make sure they're on in the morning. We'll be getting an early start and will call you when we get to your neighborhood. Pinot, I'll check in with you later.

Your friend,
Groucho

I dropped off the furbabies at the airport at 10pm last night. They could not get a direct flight to MD so right now I guess they are sitting in the Chicago airport waiting on the next leg of the journey. Should be there by noon.

It was an absolute pleasure having Ming here. He's so polite and so talented. He tried to show Merlin how to play up the bagpipes; the neighbours knocked on my door to see if everything was OK.

I told Merlin to text often but not sure if he will follow through as his head was in the clouds at the thought of seeing Sparkler again.

Hi mom!
I'm staying at Groucho's but today we'll pick everyone up in the catmobile. I went shopping with Inka yesterday and bought a lot of great things and gifts and party supplies and a little something for my bfff Chels (btw, where is she?).... I used your Platinum credit card, hope you don't mind..

Bye!
Sophie

Chels and Franklin are on their way. Things have not been good here - my dad had a stroke, died 2 weeks later and then my mom died 5 days after dad. I needed the comfort only kitties can provide....
However, life goes on so I told The Princess and Franklin to get their gear together and get on that plane. They made all the arrangements so I'm not sure about their itinerary but I did hear bits of conversation, mostly stuff about Sophie, Ming, BBQ and bagpipes....
