MACHETE!

Hows about 10:30pm, Tinseltown, Thursday for the Machete?

here is a link for directions to our destination. you could also drive through town to marys lake road if you prefer.

anybody down for a costco run on the way to whole foods? if so, what day?

So I am thinking that Wednesday food should be byo, Thursday will be snacking all day and of course the main event (the main event is not a vomit competition this year, ok?), Friday will be leftovers, and Saturday we can have a community breakfast. Thoughts........

10 Days Until Gobbllerfest, Llamaheads!

Does anyone own a 10-12 cup cast iron skillet? My largest cast iron skillet is 6-8 cups. If you do have such a skillet, can I borrow it for Gobblles? I also need a box grater if anyone has one of those. I wouldn't be surprised if there was already a box grater up at the llama ranch.

Dustin and I can donate our white folding chairs and folding table to the cause. However, we will need someone else with a truck to transport them up there. Let us know if you can fit these items in your vehicle. We can also donate some very nice sleeping bags and mats. I don't know if there are actual beds for everybody or not. Mike, if you think we'll need extra sleeping bags, let me know.

We are bringing a battlemat, too. Probably not our big honking one.

Do we really need three main courses? Technically we will be there for three days, so maybe. Any thoughts on this? I'd like to see more veggie sides.
