Organized???
O R G A N I Z E D ? ? ?
We don' need no steeeeenking organization!

Serioulsy, all will come together into a grand time by everybody just showing up. If anyone wants to "organize" any specific events that's fine by me, but my plan is to just show up and go with the flow... I do plan to get in at least two trips beyond the grate, to eat some sausage and some of your Brunswick Stew and to drink some beer. Otherwise my plan is "flexible, responsive and enthusiastic!"

Ah, the memories....
The Orange Bull
Austin '66
Singin' and drinkin' beer...

FAR ACROSS DEEP BLUE WATER,
LIVES AN OLD GERMAN'S DAUGHTER,
BY THE BANKS OF THE OLD RIVER RHINE.
WHERE I LOVED HER AND LEFT HER,
BUT I CAN'T FORGET HER,
I MISS MY PRETTY FRAULEIN.

FRAULEIN, FRAULEIN, LOOK UP TOWARD HEAVEN,
EACH NIGHT WHEN THE STARS START TO SHINE.
BY THE SAME STARS ABOVE YOU,
I SWEAR THAT I LOVE YOU,
YOU ARE MY PRETTY FRAULEIN.

WHEN MY MEMORIES WANDER,
AWAY OVER YONDER,
TO THE SWEETHEART THAT I LEFT BEHIND.
IN A MOMENT OF GLORY,
A FACE COMES BEFORE ME,
THE FACE OF MY PRETTY FRAULEIN.

FRAULEIN, FRAULEIN, WALK DOWN BY THE RIVER,
PRETEND THAT YOUR HAND'S HOLDIN' MINE.
BY THE SAME STARS ABOVE YOU,
I SWEAR THAT I LOVE YOU,
'CAUSE YOU ARE MY PRETTY FRAULEIN.

LYRICS AND MUSIC FOR "FRAULEIN" (YOUNG WOMAN)

BOBBY HELMS RECORDED THE SONG THAT SAME YEAR. IT STAYED ON THE NATIONAL CHARTS FOR 52 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS. THE SONG BECAME THE BIGGEST COUNTRY HIT
OF ALL TIMES.

LOL

Will do, I'll bring some Abita Beer from Louisiana too Turbodog? Purple Haze? Screw it, I'll bring both!


As for my 'plans' I plan to do atleast one OW/cavern group dive with everyone at Vortex, either night and/or day. I still won't be going beyond that first curve, much less any grates - LOL!

The rest of the time, I'll be diving at some of the other springs in the area again(ie, Morrison, Cypress, maybe Becton depending on water levels). The more that come along, the merrier. Course, there will be some major food intake and beer sampling/recycling going on as well.
