You need enough interest to make it worth while to go through the effort to gear it up. It's hard to judge, but e-mail Nash if you want, plead your case, lol.

I'd go if I weren't tied up getting ready for the fruitfest. Another time, perhaps?

Can you pick up a few coolers from my backyard on your way to Nick's?

:cheers:
I told Nash we don't need his ice after all because the only people available are going to Nick's and he has ice. Thanks for offering nonetheless. I can still use your help getting my place ready if you've got some time.

Nick has a limit on how much is there, I think it's 200lbs maybe, probably 4 coolers. FWIW, if people just froze a few water bottles from the recycle bin, that would be helpful as well, and easy to transport.

Oops, I hadn't even thought of that. I've been making ice cubes instead.

Another time might be best, when we can judge our numbers better, maybe the next grain buy.

I think we're getting a ride over with Sandy so it depends if there's room. I'll ask him.

I am going to try to get a side dish together, time permitting. How is the BBQ scene looking?

I've got two barbecues and two propane tanks but if your green egg has wheels you may want to wheel it over.

If it was a green egg, I would wheel it over. But the Komodo isn't really movable out of the backyard. Your Q's will be fine.

Planning on making some hummus, and will grill some flat bread upon arrival. No keg but will have a couple growlers.

My weekend plans really jumped the shark. It looks like I'll be spending most of the next 36 hours criss-crossing the harbour. Have fun at the fruitfest everyone.
Brewing right now: whatever is going on tap at Stillwell in a few weeks.

So no Randall at RB, but anybody still planning on heading there between the barrel filling and Kyle's? Maybe folks not going to the barrel filling at all perhaps?

Was thinking about it. Depends on how the filling goes, etc....

I won't be able to make it there today, but hope to get time to swing by tonight. I've got a work function (paintball) today, but that should be over after supper..

It's better than Nash and Johnny Mac's sausage parties.
