^^^you da man - thanks! You gotta come join us one of these days!

I would love that. Since the job change I am rationing my vacation days between competitions and a real vacation :-D

Returning from Carlsbad that day so it will be last minute call. If I can't make it, my regards and thanks to Bigmista for all the food I've consumed at his spot over the years.

Perfect timing - right when I shed the tonnage I gained in TN this weekend, I can stuff myself more with Brethren eats! :hungry:

Just swapped messages with Neil - Bigmista in the house! :whoo:

This is shaping up real good!

And y'all feel free to bring some extra mouths and stomachs!

I better get busy on finding a farkin goat! :shocked:

 

[frognot]

Yee haw!

Neil is in the house! Y'all show up to give him a proper sendoff!

Gonna be an epic bash!

Team Tonybel is looking good for being there as well. I think I gained 5 pounds just reading
Tony's text. :hungry:

I'll start counting folks, figuring stuff out, etc. this weekend. Really looking forward to this!

Wish I lived closer. One of Greg's parties is tops on my list of must do's!!
Have a great time and take pics if you get the chance, please!

^^^We always got room for ya, Jeanie! & flights between DFW and LAX can be pretty cheap, esp. when Southwest runs sales ..:becky:

I'll try to be good about taking pix - I've been terrible about it lately! :tsk:

And - any Brethren in the are wanna come join us, don't be shy! We have a great time!

Also SmokinJohn said he should be able to make it & Big Brother Smoke is a maybe.

My lovely wife and kids will be leaving town that morning and won't be there, but all spouses, kids, friends, etc. are totally welocme. Folks can come whatever time they want on Saturday.

Keep me updated on status & I'll post updates periodically.

Now, other stuff - I have plenty of plates, forks, paper towels, napkins, etc. Got plenty of cooker space of various kinds.

I'm gonna spin a goat & make tortillas and a pot of brisket beans. What y'all gonna cook? :hungry:

That's a tough weekend, but might break away from San Diego and travel north for the event. Big up and a huge high 5 to the crew, esp GTR for the Bash honoring one of our best.

If'n I show up, I'll bring dessert.

You people rock!

 

[frognot]

Greg, gonna bring smoked sausage (Conecuh and some from Texas) and will make a couple of chocolate chip bourbon pecan pies.

Here's a thread about my pie practice run done yesterday: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=262937

Going to have to throw in the towel on this Bash, I really wanted to make it but was just there in June and not enough notice to get a flight (cheap). I Hope everyone has a good time and post plenty of photos. Greg I’ll be back in January for NAMM, maybe we can get together then.

 

[frognot]

Gonna miss ya Gordon!

Doing an anniversary trip to San Diego in September and had to sweet talk my wife into the necessity of this trip. So this is an early birthday and Christmas gift from her.

 

[LYU370]

Not gonna be able to make this one. Have fun!
