Hi Dugal!

Ol' Doug is a bit impatient in his advancing age & scarce gives me a
chance to reply :-)  Contrary to the contrarian, I'm happy to provide
some more information :-)

Re:  as a relative newbie to the list

Welcome aboard!  We could use some fresh inputs :-)

Re:  half-dozen varieties started for greenhouse propagation this year
in the NorthWest.  

What ones are you grwoing?  What are you finding does well for you up
that way?

Re:  I really wish I could say I was bringing the trailer and the tribe
to open fields

So do we!  You know that there is also the option of a bus trip, or
flying :-)  You certainly won't be alone doing that.  You also don't
stand a chance of winning the 'furthest out' prize :-)

Re:  figure out who to grease to get a copy of this year's poster, if
there is one.  

Not much figuring out to it- you get them from me :-)  More specifically
off of my site, but I don't have them up there yet.  Still on there is
last years 'Amber Waves of Pain'.  Yup- there is one... as soon as I can
find the file again :-)  It is "Podzilla" and features our favorite
sci-fi monster with a body that is made up of an orange habanero.  Mr
Jeff S didn't do it this year.  After so many years of outstanding work,
he gets a break this year :-)

Happily accepting themes for next year.  We'll do that in the next post.
