Unfortunately, no portable grills, but we had good luck with the grills that were there!

We had even better luck once we started using the portable grill, if memory serves

(shhh, it's a secret)

LOL, hmmnnn, not sure what to do now. Normally I have no problem using the regular grills but for a good steak, you really need ultra high heat for searing.

Decisions decisions.

I will brings fruits - apples, oranges, grapes etc. just whole fruits, I think it is easier than trying to do a fruit salad.

Nicole, I will try to get there early for parking and holding down the tables.

My buddy, Christian (DIR), said he'll be joining us and will be bringing some hamburgers, buns, and condiments (as well as a spatula to flip the burgers with).


If you haven't yet responded to confirm that you'll be joining us and letting us know what you'll be bringing, please do so! We still need someone to bring grill items (charcoal, some way to light the charcoal, grilling utensils, etc)


Also, if you'd like to try out a bp/w, please (please, please) let me know sooner rather than later, so I can make sure that we have enough. So far, only two people have said they're interested, and I have to guess there are more who might be, so please let me know.

 

[pfulks]

I will bring Charcoal and some lighter fluid with grill utensils

 

[Mr Carcharodon]

Hmmm....do you need anything else. I'd like to come.

By the way at least how you have it defined I am DIR, but I suspect that is highly subject to question.

I'd like to try our a bp/w but here's a question:
I have a weight integrated bc with soft weights, do I need to round up a belt and some lead to go with it?

I have a weight integrated bc with soft weights, do I need to round up a belt and some lead to go with it?

Maybe.

How much lead do you use with your current BC? Most backplates are around 5-6# negative. Also, most "standard" BCs are inherently 2-4# positive. Just switching saves you 7-10#. If you're using less than that with your current BC, you'll be fine (possibly over-weighted). If you're using more, you'll need to make up for that difference either with a weightbelt or a weighted STA (or finding some other way to attach the needed weight, e.g. pouches attached to the cam bands).

I am definitely coming. I can bring lemon bars- if there aren't already too many people bringing desert...alternately i can bring whatever else anyone can think of that hasn't been spoken for yet.
