You Are Invited

Hello to those coming by email!

There's a pretty big handful of core people involved in this thing and we all invite our friends and encourage them to invite their friends - that's how we keep it going. If you got an email then somebody thinks you're alright. And being the friend of a friend, we'd love to have you join us. To get to the main page of this site click on the title "5th Annual Woodzie" in the header at the top. You'll find all the details there. And be sure to bookmark us and check back - they'll be new stuff as we go along.

Everybody, see the icon of the letter below this post? We can use that to easily email a link inviting people to find out about the Woodzie. If they're interested, it'll bring them to this post. Please take a minute and click the letter icon and see how you can send to up to 10 email addresses. You can do it more than once, it's just 10 at a time. We need help getting the word out so please go through that process and invite every peaceful soul you know who you think would appreciate getting turned onto the Woodzie. They'll love you for it and so will we.

I got the forwarded email, very cool. I'll be there and will forward the invite to some guitar playing friends. THANKS!

thanks for the email. I have some things that weekend but I'm trying to get free. I sent from this post to 10 people who I think would want to come.

Have sent along my invite as well to all tribe members in Sam Houston Ntl Forest. Can't wait!

I just sort of stumbled upon this by accident. Jeff and I think this is very cool. Do y'all still have t-shirts?

Now, this is all peace and love so when you wear them it might be hard to feel sinister. :)

under the post about the shirts there's an email you can reach us at and we'll help you get some.

but come to the event, you'll love it.

Jimmie, you are the hardest working lady in show biz...or any other biz, helping you and John yesterday clear Ceder trees , I git just a little taste of all the work you guys put into making this event happen. What a beautiful place, especially near sundown. Who ever has not seen this place, when your there, your in God's
living room.

John Whipple said...

thanks for your help yesterday, Mike. Yeah, we're just incredibly lucky that that ridge faces west into the setting sun the way it does. That "magic hour" light, the kind photographers wait for because it makes everything look golden, comes pouring in at a really cool angle. Nothing blocks it. That is one of the very first hills of the Hill Country. When Jimmie leads her walk to the sunset on Woodzie day that's part of what she's showing. Everybody who comes needs to be tuned into what happens with the sunlight on the ridge in the late afternoon and all the way to sunset.

And the campsites you and Brad have picked are both right on the ridge, perfect. If I were other people camping, I'd camp out on that ridge.

men are just plumbed better for recycling beer in the woods. Or are they? If I were anona-mouse I'd wear a long loose skirt, commando underneath and your port-a-potty would travel, around with you. spread it out and come down like in a courtesy and have more privacy than a guy

Anonymous said...

there are many many many things wrong what that idea. for instance when did men ever care about privacy?

John Whipple said...

Jess, Texas women may be tough. Texas hippie women are really tough... but I think you're thinking of Scandinavian women.

Anonymous said...

this is a very enjoyable blog. I don't know much about women but how I'm visualizing that I think a courtesy would result in drippy ankles

Anonymous said...

Men not carrying about privacy all depends on their beer recycling apparatus. If they're proud of it they'll go anywhere if not they'll walk a long way into the bushes. :)

John Whipple said...

well Ted you just outed about half the guys at the Woodzie. Thanks a lot! :)

Glenn said...

I'll be wearing a kilt myself, discussing privacy with Ms. Manhaterbloglurker.

a Skirt? Why not just wear a Foley Catheter, or A good snug pair of "Depends"? It'll be dark, and there are trees -o-plenty. a roll of toilet
paper, and an good eye for cactus, (they ruin the experience if you sit on one) should make
relieving yourself in the woods an enjoyable and rewarding experience for male or female.

woodnymph said...

lol! any fool knows that a woodswoman of any substance has absolutely no problem peeing in the woods. clothed or naked

Glenn said...

Thank you!

Now can we get back to planning our camping in the woods and leave the country club cocktail parties to those who might care for such things?!?!?!

You use TP Mikey?

Anonymous said...

I won't lower my self to use TP, this is the Woodzie man...I have a secret stash of leaves with just the right amount of texture, carefully culled for consistency and firmness....I am actually gonna bring a Sams super pack of quilted northern Downey extra soft, if you must know Glen....I figure I could trade that stuff off like gold!

John Whipple said...

I've been laughing all day from these comments. It can't hurt to have one silly thread going.

Jimmie hinted to me who anonymous is. You might be surprised. This is why women rule the world - it only took two easy steps to get us talking about our tinky winks.

Glenn said...

Yeehaw!

Hey Mike, I use cactus myself, but the TP trading is a great idea. Like cigarettes in prison! You should be able to get a bottle of Old Crow for a double roll!

John Whipple said...

We're having fun with it but Kim's parents should rightfully be credited with coming up with the origins of portapotty crapitalism at Riley's a couple of months ago. :)

Anonymous said...

so anyone can come?

John Whipple said...

thanks for getting us back to the "you are invited" post topic. Yes. Our slogan has become "any peaceful soul".

Walk in holding out a casserole in front of you for the potluck dinner, you'll be welcomed like a king.

Woodzie Muse #1 is hereby offering salutations, good will, good times and good music to all....

The Woodzie Muses will offer inspirations when needed and healings (either hands on treatments or energy driven)when heeded.

You will find the Muses floating amongst you, carefree and happy, always smiling, but woeful to ease your pain.

Each and every one of you are extended an open invitation to 'Heaven on Earth', or the Muses' onsite resting pavillion, easily noticed by the bright blue, lavender and yellow aura that surrounds it! Let the Muses inspire you, cure you.....ah but take care - they could bewilder you (which is good for songwriting ) lest you bring them elixir of love....(good red wine and/or reposado...which is also good for songwriting!)

OK Now...how can I help you?

What fun! The Woodzie has its own muses!!
This is feeling like one of those crystal farms where they start out looking like nothing much then just grow and grow into a beautiful thing.
Aaawwww. :)
