I got your e-mail. I plan to be there around 4:30. I'm bringing at least one guest but have asked a few others. I'll bring the grill and some cakes. I've also got an 18 foot string of large white (almost night light size) bulbs that I was using as summer lights on my deck. I'm planning to upgrade so I pulled them down. If there is a pole or some trees we can string them on or to there I will bring them with me. I don't want them back so I can leave them there when I leave if you want them.
I will bring a 20-lb propane tank and the small grill. Theres not a lot of grilling surface but this might take some of the load off of your charcoal grill.
I'm looking forward to the driveway you described, especially since I traded in my Chevy Blazer for a fuel efficient low-ground-clearance Ford Focus. I might decide to use my wife's minivan, especially if I get more members for my 'posse'.
If anyone wants to bring their own hamburgers and hot dogs (no 'meat' dogs) or chicken parts, the grill will be available. I personally am considering marinating drumsticks in various hot sauces I picked up along the way. I have to be careful, since the incident with the '%100 Pain' sauce at last years BBQ comes to mind.
I may be bringing a tub, ice, and soda cans.
This is the kick-off to my vacation week, so I'm considering the Hawaiian shirt-shorts-Panama hat look. The part about deer ticks is a little troubling, so I might have to change that.
Rolls, snacks, condoms...er...condiments, bug spray, lawn chairs-music CD's-Boom Box, paper plates, napkins,
plastic forks, spoons, knives, cups, etc. George Carlin did a great monologue about people and their 'stuff'. He was right and I am bringing as much stuff as I can.
I will be bringing a camera unless someone objects. I always ask permission/give warning before I shoot, but I'm guessing the Cellar picture gallery should be pretty interesting on the Monday after.
Thanks again for the invitation. I'm looking forward to it.
BTW, my CD collection includes a significant selection of bagpipe music.
I am aware that some people have a problem with that
. Well,
that.
Lets Party.
BTW, how many people at the Cellar have you e-mailed directions to?
