Done:
- $US bought

- DS game purchase list extracted out of son
- several songs chorded, practised and printed off

To Do:
- work up set lists some more (especially the Duckon one)
- decide if I'm taking my guitar or not
- find van keys!!!!!
- write verses and tune for 'This Is My Land'
- collect $US
- buy Nokia big->small adaptor for phone
- return library books
- pack music stuff
- decide what I'm taking for Interfilk/Duckon filk fund

OK, ye huddled masses:

Bearing in mind my suitcase isn't THAT big, any import or export requests?
[Question for the UK filk folk: where can I get a copy of Tom's FanTom Voices cassette? Does FilkLore stock it?]

If I were going to be anywhere NEAR where you are going to be on this trip, I'd ask you to bring some of that wonderful tea you shared with me when you and your wife stayed at our house. That was GOOD stuff! But since I won't see you on this trip, nevermind.

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I will be seeing Ellen.
:) Taylors Yorkshire Gold, then?

[flabosib.livejournal.com]

Oh, please?!?!?! You are very very good to me. Happy happy joy joy!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

Bought, in suitcase. :)

[flabosib.livejournal.com]

You have made my ENTIRE week! Woo Hoo!

[bedlamhouse]

If you have space for another box for us, that'd be great - it can mongol c/o Ropers since we'll see them at some point this summer I'm sure.

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

Gold or Hard Water?

There's a box of Rose Pouchong going in with it.

[bedlamhouse]

Gold. The advantages of the Hard Water type don't seem to outweight the feeling I have that it is more bland than the Gold.

Something that should be small enough to fit: If it's still available and can be procured quickly, might you be able to bring along a copy of FanTom's "FanTom Voices" cassette? I've never seen a copy on this side of the pond.

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

I can try, can't promise.

[mrgoodwraith.livejournal.com]

Fair enough -- thanks!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

Sorted - I'll collect you a copy off FilkLore tomorrow :)

[mrgoodwraith.livejournal.com]

Excellent and most appreciated!

[daisy-knotwise.livejournal.com]

If you want to borrow a guitar for Duckon, we have many.

I have designs on Roper's Guild, if it's available :)

Have fun!

If J wants to onsell any of his old DS games, I'm getting A a DS for his birthday. Hopefully this will mean that getting to see J is more about getting to see J and less about getting to see J's DS.... A mum can only hope, anyway.

Imports! :)
Any or all of the following:

• Ro-Tel tinned tomatoes (they're nice and spicy)
  
• Jiffy Cornbread Mix (you remember that stuff!)
  
• Taste of Thai Thai Peanut Bake Mix and/or Peanut Sauce Mix
  
• Maple flavouring (MEW can get this to you)
  
• I do still have a harp in Baltimore.... ;)
  
• otherdeb may have a pair of socks for me
  
• Mini peanut butter cups (for J and G)

Hey, I'm not proud! :D

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can do. :)

[aunty_marion]

Erm. Seconding the request for more of the Reece's mini-peanut-butter cups things for me. Pretty please?

[cadhla.livejournal.com]

If you're capable of bringing me ANY Weight Watchers UK soup of the non-meat varieties -- especially the spicy lentil or the carrot -- I will worship you like unto a god.

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

To whom can I deliver for Mongol Post purposes?

[cadhla.livejournal.com]

Merav!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

I foresee worship in my future.

Where in the US are you off to? 8 weeks today and I'm heading to LA!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

Chicago then New Jersey.

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

I'll see if I can grab some on my way home tomorrow.

[kathy-songbird.livejournal.com]

Hi don't want anything from the US. Just wondered if there was a chance of the guitar being mongoled to the Housefilk on Sunday? If so I will be sure to have the suitable piece of coloured paper to hand over.

Have a good trip anyway - hope you make it home with all the stuff you'll be carrying!!! :-)

[little-cinnamon.livejournal.com]

*hijacks the comment* There's a good-ish chance David and I will be at the housefilk, if that helps, Mike!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

There's a good chance you'll be getting a ride with Anne, too :)

I'll make sure it's ready to be taken down to Gravesend.

[kathy-songbird.livejournal.com]

Oh Wow! Golly! Be still my dancing feet!! Oh what the heck. Let's clear the floor and I will amuse the neighbours.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Sunday's my guitar da-aa-aay! :-)

[spiritdancer]

Hmm ... might you be able to manage some Thornton's Special toffee for Daniel? (plain preferred, nuts OK, but no chocolate)

Thanks, and we _all_ will see you on Friday at the hotel!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

I can't promise, unless there's a Thorntons store near me in London or at Heathrow. I'll try.

[spiritdancer]

If it's there, great, if not, well, we really don't need the extra calories around :-) (if you do find it, it'll be a nice surprise for Daniel).
