Seattle Area M&G Take II: The Carbos Strike Back

[mortis505]

OK folks, I talked it over with the Mrs and She said I could have a BBQ. So now I'm looking at the back yard and thinking, lets have a shindig!!!! Family is a must. And since I consider all of you my "extended" family, You all are invited. (Yes you too Alaska) So now we need to see who is coming. I have added a poll to this one so we can try and nail down a particular day. Bring the kids if you have them.

Bring any food you want cooked on the grill and any Beverages you want unless you like Diet Dr. Pepper

I live in Federal Way and will send out directions from both I-5 and SR99 to anyone that wants them.

Fair Warning: I have a dog that will beg for every scrap of food he can get. If you have a pet allergy please let me know.

June 27th is good for me. As are the last two weekends in August.

June 13th is senior graduation. June 20th I'll be in Vegas for the DF M&G, after that I'll be in CA for nearly 6 weeks. Busy summer for once, for me! :D

[mortis505]

Anyone else have any exclusions? You can select multiple dates in the poll. Come on Seattleites, speak up, lets hear from all of you.

Anyone else thats in the area or wanting to come visit is welcome as well.

[mortis505]

We have a few fore runners in the dates, if anyone else is interested I may host multiple events this summer. Please PM me and let me know which weekends work best for you.

[mortis505]

I'm looking at July 11th as our first one, with a strong possibility of a second one in August. I was going to try for June 27 but its not looking favorable. Landlords got a bunch of garbage to remove left over from previous tenants.

But if anyone wants to swing by and visit us (Rikki) Just pm me and I'll let my wife know.

[fgummett]

Many Thanks for the invite... much appreciated, but I needs must decline :) Here's hoping you have a great BBQ and that the dog gets to eat his fill :D

[Keezheekoni]

July 11 works for us, it's about 2 days before we leave for California. :) We get back Aug. 15th.

Call me any time, Jason, whenever you want to get just our two families together...or to go garage saleing again. :D I'm up for that anytime!

[mortis505]

Forgot to add, Ill be having a Garage sale the weekend before, If anyone wants to sell any of their stuff bring it over, we also need a few bodies to help during the sale.

Anything you wish to sell needs to be marked with a tag of your own design. That way you get your money for your items.

[Keezheekoni]

You're having a garage sale 4th of July weekend? Are you nuts??? Everyone's going out of town! :T

[mortis505]

We are right down the street from the campgrounds. That place is packed every 4th.

[lilituc]

Huh, I subscribed, but didn't get any replies - maybe they were some of the blank ones? I don't know now if I can make it on the 11th, but I'll try.

[mortis505]

lilituc, we'd be happy to have you folks down here. And this goes for anyone that wants to come. Everyone is welcome. Lets make this a Big ole shindig.

P.M. me for directions, or for those with GPS, pm me for the address.

[mortis505]

Just a bump to refresh this thread and remind everyone that its this friday.

[Noturningback]

Yeah more Seattlites! :)

I lived in Redmond for several years and then moved to Lynnwood. I've been here in Lynnwood close to a year.

[Keezheekoni]

So who's all coming? My family will be there...well at least most of us will be there! :D

[camjen1]

Sounds like fun, hope everyone who attends has a great time.

[lilituc]

Still didn't get any replies. Weird. Anyway, I won't be able to make it on the 11th since we have something else going on already. Sorry!

[mortis505]

lilituc, sorry you wont be able to come. I may do another one next month, so keep your eyes on the thread, and check your spam filter.

Friday is fast approaching, And no one has asked for directions. I'll be in chat of and on over the next few days(time permitting), but the best way to reach me is to send me a pm.

Wifey is going to make a few of my favorite pasta salads.

Noturningback, join us. Even if Ricky and her family are the only others to show, I guarantee that it will be fun. Might even have my RHPS soundtrack blaring.

Thank you so much for the invite. Unfortunately, I made plans before I ever saw this thread. I'll catch the next one and would be happy to host one as well. :)

Admit it, it was the RHPS comment. Just kidding. Sorry you cant make it to this one. Rikki, looks like its just going to be our families.

[Keezheekoni]

Don't suppose you want to just bump it up to today do you?!? LOL I'm antsy to get on the road down to CA, and Troy told me to just leave, but I still have laundry to do and I promised to go to a pleasure party tomorrow night. :P

[Keezheekoni]

Okay, I was kidding... :)

However, since I am anxious to get on the road, we may leave on Friday. I'll let you know tomorrow night.

[Noturningback]

LMAO (Laugh My Abs Off)

Cult classics are good!

[mortis505]

I may just postpone until next month. Seems like I picked a bad weekend for everyone. So I'll try again for the 22nd of August. Mark your calenders kids. No excuses next time!!!! :)

Also, anyone with special dietary concerns please let me know. I want to try and accomodate as many as possible

[wastcougr]

Mortis,

August 22nd? Does it have to be a Friday? I'll be in the Seattle area on August 30th for the WSU football game at Qwest Field, but I can't do two weekends in a row (I'm coming from Colfax, which is about 60 miles south of Spokane), nor could I do Friday, most likely... Have you gotten any responses from others as to August 22nd? Does it work for everyone but me? :)

[mortis505]

I could do the 30th but I'll be at work. My days off are Wed-Fri. However If enough people respond to the 30th. I can request a day off. So lets hear it folks. how many people would like Saturday the 30th other than wastcougr?

Don't be shy, speak up.

[mortis505]

Anyone at all??? Is this thing even on??? :)

[Keezheekoni]

August 30 works for me. Though any time after August 17th will work for me. :)

I'm still in CA now. Lovely air conditioning in my parents' home. :)

[mortis505]

Hope that A/C is still working good. So is Rikki the only one coming??? Come on folks, I don't bite. Much;> Come one, come all, The Grill will have a fresh propane tank and I'm raring to fire it up. Families are welcome of course, and the hot tub is now working!!!! I'll even have the kiddie pool ready for the little ones.

[mortis505]

One week to go!!! The Hot Tub is ready, the grill is ready, and I got the day off.

Saturday the 30th, anytime after 1pm

PM me for directions to my house.

[Keezheekoni]

We will be there. :D What can we bring?

[mortis505]

Anything you want. Obviously whatever you want tossed on the grill. I'll be making a few pasta salads.

[mortis505]

Update, the kiddie pool wont be in action, its got a few leaks and no patch kits. But the hot tub works great.

[donnalou]

When is the next one?

[mortis505]

Today if you want. Its at my house in Federal Way. PM me for directions.

[Keezheekoni]

Is it going to be just us? Is anyone else coming? I'm starting to feel like we have some sort of complex...no one ever wants to come! :T

[mortis505]

That's fine. We'll just take lots pics and post them in the gallery. Then maybe next time more people will join us.

[Keezheekoni]

Heh. Whoops. We forgot to take pics. :T But it was a great time! Even my 16 year-old had fun. :D
