I'm fortunate to live here in Clarksville and get to go down and have fun at Twin Oaks on a weekly basis. We always plan for the Classic and try to have everything prepared and waiting for all our friends to join us for some fun times. As you know, the best laid plans often are upset usually in our case by Mother Nature...rain!
But like already has been said, everyone just migrates under roof, and it seems like all of us sharing the bad weather and spending time talking about our lifes and hobbies only bring us closer. It really is an unusual event, like a family get-together with southern hospitality being shared by all.
I am amazed by the wide range of folks from different walks of life that you meet during the Classic! Many have complicated stressful jobs, and you have to guess that is a contributing factor why we look to the primitive side to counter and bring back some down to earth basic's to the fast-paced lifes we lead. After experiencing the Classic, it seems like most folks can't wait to come back and get their yearly "dose" of Classic goodness to experience some sanity...like this is what life should always be like, or at least we wish it could! The Classic is an event where nobody wants anything from you, other then your presense and friendship...they're just glad you're there, like family. We all need that in our lifes, don't you think!
