Title: Labor Day Weekend - Let's Party!!
Post by: Ronr on August 19, 2008, 09:05:08 PM
Sounds like Cory is in town Labor Day weekend, and needs a proper sendoff.  The wife and I would like to invite the gang/club/disorganization over for frolicking in the pool and such.

I propose Sunday afternoon, 31 August.  That gives everybody Monday for Opening Day or for recuperating.

Hope that works for most everybody.

Cheers!  [beer] [drink] [wine] [bacon]

I will tell him to bring 5  ;D

There is a chance that he won't be back to NOLA by the 30th. I will ride the S4RS if I am by myself. If Brett comes we will have a rental.

Wow, I bummed that I may not make this. Got that whole dove hunt/opening day thing going but I will heading to Brownwood probably Friday or Saturday morning to help my friend work on his newly built ranch house and John Deere tractor. Needs some help with both, then afterwards starts the drinking, mesquite grilling, BSing and maybe dove hunting. If my schedule changes I will be at the official Cory send off #2 party for sure. Hey, would someone mind riding one of my Ducatis over to make it really official. Really, you can pick which one. OK, that's bullshit... sorry wrong thread. [laugh] Still really bummed I might miss this. I'll work on it. [thumbsup]

I'll be driving back from Austin on the day of the party.  I'll swing by and say hi if I can, I just don't want to commit 100% because I'm not sure when I'll be leaving The River City (where the streets are paved with gold from all the ticket revenue...)

What exit are y'all at again, Ron?

Bear Creek and Parkerville (coming from the north) are both fine.  My street kinda sucks though.  It went from chuck holes, to dirt, to way too much tar in the gravel.  In the 90s or above you gotta ride the dry line, but it's possible!

Any beers and food would be good to bring.  We'll have some stuff there.

Did that work out pretty well at LYD's party for everybody to post up what they're bringing?  We could try doing that.

Some kind of group food would be good, maybe a casserole or salad thing.

We're planning to have hamburgers and hotdogs and fixins but if you have a favorite bullneck (meat) feel free to bring it and throw it on the grill. Horse dourves or dessert snacks are good too. There's also an opening for something made with  [bacon]

I'll send the address via PM to you and Tommé & Bonwildest.

Alright, dammit, I'm changing my travel plans for the weekend - too much happening to be out of town  [bang]

I'm in for sure - will bring something yummy to eat, and a bottle of wine or two.




Ron, I'm re-doing a den and have a few framed Ferrari F1 posters without a home now - would you have room for a couple?  They're 39 x 27 (Michael Schumacher 2001) and the other is 24 x 36 (Nigel Mansell's F89 640).  I can bring them on Sunday if you're interested.

hey ron, do you mind if i bring a dog x 2?  brandi is trying to unload conor and his buddy bradley (she volunteered to watch 2 dogs, and then dumps them on me...nice).  bradley is pretty cool...he was a menace as a puppy but has chilled out now that he's older i understand.  and well, conor is conor.  though he does enjoy swimming in the lake now...go figure.  he still looks like an idiot when he's trying to swim. 

and i can bring some stuff...i'll try to make some sense of this thread and see what other people have volunteered for already so i'm not duplicating anything.  i can always stick to beer.

Conor Dog is definitely invited. Hopefully Duke will be there as the instigator. Pepper will just lay there and chew.

I'm sure he'll do what he does best.   [thumbsup]
Those two are good entertainment.

Excellent, glad you're coming!

Either of those two exits provides access to tree tunnels, can't go wrong either way.  Bear Creek is right out if you're looking for the scenic route.  And don't be surprised if there is no Bear Creek exit right now.  Lots of road construction going on, and they may have obliterated it.

When coming from I-20, those exits are in the following order:
Beltline
Parkerville
Bear Creek

We're in between P'ville and BC

We're glad all you kids had fun.  Nice seeing everyone, thanks for making the long drive out!  We appreciate everybody bringing stuff, all very tasty.  Special applause to RichD for duct taping the giant pot o' ribs to his red mule  [clap] [clap]  A huge stack, but they still only lasted 5 minutes.  And thanks Lisa for the cool F1 prints, very cool!  Looked like the kids and the hound dogs had a good time, glad y'all brought them out.  Sorry we missed Duke though.  Thanks Jim and Lyndy for shooting lot of pics, they turned out great!

Somebody will have to throw another party before too long.  I ended up with more beer than I started with, so I need to bring a load of it somewhere to share.  I'm pretty sure I can tote some down to the Hill Country.

And extra special thanks to Stephanie for all her hard work setting up (and cleaning up!) and fixing food for us.  She says you guys can really eat a lot  [thumbsup]

Good luck Cory getting back to New Orleans.  Hope we get to see you again soon.
