Put T&S BBQ down for 2 please

Bill-Chicago · 12-17-2015, 07:05 PM

Ron,

Your efforts here are greatly appreciated.

I still recall the 1st Winter Gathering. It was you and me at Thomas BBQ (now Aurora, then Montgomery) between Christmas and New Year, like 2005 or so?

Uncle Bub's a time, Dave and Busters, then back to Uncle Bub's with the NLFo's (Netherland Farkers). Some where in there was Buffalo Wild Wings with Parrothead and the MoFo's. All a blur...

You've carried this from 5-10 of us into one heck of a great Winter lunch that it is apparent from the rapid response, is certainly a hit with fellow Brethren.

Thank you, for carrying on the tradition!

Your vigilance in setting these up are not lost on us!

Ron_L · 12-17-2015, 08:43 PM

Thanks, Bill! It's great getting together with the Brethren and talking BBQ for a while! We never have a chance to talk BBQ

Gonna have any fresh roasted coffee available?

I think that can be arranged

****We are now at 70 adults and two kids. Anyone wishing to come beyond that will go on the wait list.

Please check the list below and make sure that I have the right number of people for you. If your plans change, please let me know as soon as possible! Also, if I don't have your Brethren user ID listed below, please let me know. It would be easier for me to track everything by Brethren user ID.
****

I'd like to be added to the wait list as a couple. I also clicked on "going" on Facebook this morning. Changed it from interested. Didn't realize it was in danger of filling up so fast!

Got it, Matt. It filled up very fast this year!

I know that there will be folks dropping out as it gets closer. I just hope that they have the courtesy of letting me know instead of being no-shows

Hey, I know you!

Sorry.

I added you. I never expected to fill the room! We've averaged 35 people the last few years, and I didn't do anything different in terms of advertising it this year. The thread here, PMs and a post on the Brethren FB group. FB did bring in about 6 people who weren't already forum members, but I know all of them from local BBQ events, and most have signed up.

SCSmoke · 12-19-2015, 11:50 AM

I got all the invites but just was lazy about responding.... like you said, I have never seen it fill up like that.

cmohr74 · 12-19-2015, 03:05 PM

Can you add me to the wait list Capt., been tied up and haven't had a chance to respond. Thank you

T&S BBQ · 12-20-2015, 04:40 PM

Last year was top notch, thanks to Ron, I can hardly wait for this years get together.
