Well I can't take as much vacation as I had originally planned, so Saturday is the big day, folks are welcome to spend the night, camp, we have floor space and some spare rooms for those navigating up in vehicles other than campers, gonna have a pony of Brutal Bitter, and I'm going to whip up some salsa and such, so bring your mexican themed buffet items and whatever other hop pop flavors you might care to indulge in. I have no idea how many folks are going to make it, hopefully LOTS!

Getting closer to decrepitude,

Or is Saturday the only event?

Ya, my original plans had to change, I won't be there Friday until 11 pm or so, so Saturday is the day. I often drive into work from there, though.

Sorry to get your hopes up.

what time are you looking for people to show up?

ruckman101 · Post by **ruckman101** » Sun May 10, 2009 6:15 pm

Not before noon. I should be ambulatory by then, and plan to dive into the salsa/tortilla making mode. Mmmm, fish tacos.

Come on up when you get off work, the bonfire should be going good by then. It just won't be the same without you and your guitar.

I was hoping to make this trip, but that's a haul for just one night.

I'm sorry Neal, tip one for me. I'll be doing the same for you.

Happy Birthday!
