I'm going by myself tomorrow, and not even sure I'm going on Saturday. However, I have a 12 pack of beer, two bottles of wine, makings for Mary's, and makings for Rita's. I think there's a good possibility I have a drinking problem!

Throw in some cheese curds, triscuits, and almonds, and I won't starve either. And away I go!

Cheers!

Hey Tiki -
Going to wear your shirt? I almost bought one but chickened out at the last minute! I'll be looking for you on Saturday. I'll have my nametag on and my shirt that says "Birds of a Feather Party Together" with big parrots on the back. Can't wait!

I was just thinking of your comment and laughing as I was cutting open one of my kids juice bags to mix with coconut rum because I wanted a fruity rum drink so much. It's not that bad actually!!!

Oops! That was Tiki's quote. Copied off the wrong post - the rum is working!

Stayed up late last night to make 200 jello shots and premix 4 liters of Bushwhackers. Just have to slice the 12# of tenderloin I grilled up earlier, put some fuel in the blender, make some wardrobe decisions, and I think I'm set!!!!!

I didn't pack it... didn't think about it. Not wearing anything notable, so I'll have to look for you!

Did you cat's check out the weather? oh, super super duper. (80's and thunderstorms)

I will be N/A this year, got a bun in the oven.
On the plus side, I'll actually remember the show!
On the minus side, I may not have tolerance for the drunken yahoos.

Never say no to an adventure!

Oh yeah... if anyone wants to book last minute, I cancelled 1 room with 2 beds for Saturday night at the luxurious Thomas Motel in Elkhorn...

There is a bus that goes from the Two Seasons Bowl next door, to the concert, for "$33 including beer and wine coolers until they run out." I don't know whether they still have space, but you could find out.

Anyone else finding it exceedingly difficult to work today?

I need a little help... we have a small group of six pholks going and I am in charge of brewing and bringing the punch drink with alcohol laden fruit in it for snacking...

Anyone have any good punch recipes?

Thanks for the help!
