**** Annual Northern Illinois Brethren Mid Winter Gathering, 2015 Edition!!! - Jan. 24th, 2015

[Jack Daniels]

Well this blows, but I need to cancel my RSVP. I'll be going to NC to pig up my new hog cooker! See y'all next time, maybe.

 

[Ron_L]

The cooker will be there the next weekend :-D We're cooler!

You can still send your wife :-D

Well that sucks...

 

[Ron_L]

Still room for more!

We have a slight change in plans... I talked to Jared yesterday and he offered to open the restaurant at 10:30am for us so we have more time to socialize. He has a class scheduled in the Pit Room at 2:00pm so wee need to be out of there in time to let his team set up for the class.

I plan on being there as close to 10:30 as I can.

Here is a Google Map link to the restaurant...

Metered parking is available on Western Ave or free street parking may be found on the neighborhood streets.

Please bring cash to make paying easier!

NOTE: Rub's is BYOB, so if you want an adult beverage, please plan accordingly. There is a liquor store across the street :thumb:

Sorry Ron, I won't be able to come. Wife is working, I'll be spending my day playing kid chauffeur to various activities. I'll be there in spirit.

A note about the liquor store across the street - he doesn't have "regular" hours. He's never open prior to 1130, and on Superbowl Sunday last year he didn't open until 8pm. He keeps really random hours, just wanted to give ya'll a heads up so you plan properly.

 

[Thermal Mass]

Counting down to deliciousness!

 

[Ron_L]

If anyone wants coffee, please let me know by tomorrow evening!

$12/bag as usual.

This is why I always come "prepared." Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to it.
