June 3rd Event PLANNING THREAD

[Dan]

Guys,

Time to start getting real about planning this thing. I am going to try to use the message board as much as I can so please try to avoid posting extraneous info in this particular thread. The other thread is left open for that, if you want to add something outside of what I am looking for here.

Here are details...

Event Date: June 3, 2006.
Rain Date: The following Saturday
Time: 4:00 - 8:00 BBQ at my place.
8-??? Cruising and driving.
Location: New Britain, CT.

I am going to leave the RSVP's open until this coming Wednesday. That should give everyone enough time to see this thread and reply. It will also give me some planning time and a good read on the weather. On Thursday I'll take it all to email where I'll send directions.


I'LL NEED YOU TO POST ON TWO POINTS....

1. What I need right now is a list of who is DEFINITELY planning on making it. Please don't post if you are still up in the air or know that you can't make it.

2. I need you to let me know if you are willing to bring any food, beverage or desert items.

The next post is what I am looking for. Sorry to be so specific about what I am asking you to post but I won't have a lot of time to sift through this thread in the next week.

Best,

Dan

EXAMPLE POST:

Dan,

I'll definitely be there.

I can bring whatever. If you need me to show up a bit early to help out, let me know.

Thanks,

Ok, gang. It's time to have a brother to brother talk here.

When I first got into the MM thing I was told by someone that the "New England group just doesn't seem to have any life or cohesiveness like a lot of other areas of the country."

I would hate for anyone to say anything negative about the NE MM group but I am starting to wonder.

The RSVP date for this event is tomorrow. I'll be honest... if we don't have at least 3 or 4 people turning out for this I won't even start up my griller.

Come on, gang. What's up? :) We need to get something in New England off the ground already.

Best,

Dan

I need directions, I'll try to get to the other thread sometime. In the middle of replacing my roof right now, but let me know what you need.

[Dan]

Paul,

Thanks.

Even if it just winds up to be you and I we will still have fun.

I have your email on the list and will be getting directions out to you on Friday.

Best,

Dan...I am a bit sober...therefore more than a bit confused...

Why are you, an Indiana guy, throwing a party in Conecticut?

And why has no one replied?

Do I even have the right Dan here?:dunno:

Perhaps this is the same Dan that plans a gathering every spring that if not directly conlicts with, or comes darn close to...EAM?

Dan,
I didn't forget about you, but I haven't been able to go online for a few days.

I won't be able to make the BBQ, as I have to work late on Saturday (I can't argue with those who outrank me :o), but I will more than likely be roaming the pike that night; I'll probably get there around 8 or so. I sincerely hope it isn't just the 3 of us up there. Come on guys, let's get this thing off the ground! :beer:

HUH??? You sure you're sober??? :eek:

I'm a CT guy since the 20th century. Check my profile. You must have me mixed up with someone else.

I'm glad your gonna make it. I'll be tired from the trip out from Indianna, too, but it'll be worth it. :)

It looks like I'm keeping the RSVP's open a bit longer, eh? That's good but as of Friday at 2:00 pm the RSVP's are closed. You should ring in even if you are a maybe.

I just went out and got meat. It looks like I am going to be serving up two of my sepcialties. They are BBQ pulled pork and grilled sirloin tips. I use special seasoning recipes for both and both always taste great.

Of course, there will be burgers and franks. When I send out RSVP's I may ask some of you to bring something trivial but I don't know exactly what yet.

This should be fun.

Once again, if you think you are coming, chime in here by tomorrow at 2:00pm.

Thanks.

Best,

Dan

The SPEEDVILLE USA in your profile throws me off.
See...we have a member, Dan, that goes by another screen name, that lives in Indiana. Indiana being the home of the Indianapolis 500 fits the profile.

I would consider Indiana more likely "SPEEDVILLE USA" rather than Connecticut.

You must be thinking of SPEED. As in barbituates, black beauties, white crosses, yellow jackets....caffiene...coffee.. .

Didn't those folks throw coffee in the bay?

Oh...that was Boston.

I'm still lost on the reference. :P
