[SteinerBBQ]

Looking forward to meeting everyone! Really nice to see Meathead is the keynote (again). Hopefully Mother Nature plays nice this time.

[Spinaker]

Looking forward to it Phil!

[DeusDingo]

i tried to go last year but it was full by the time i registered. this year my kid is due in early march so unless it's in april i doubt i will be able to make it one of these years!

[DoubleUpOrQuit]

You're in luck, it's 4/13. Bring the new baby along, it's a family friendly event

[Spinaker]

Yes!!!!! All the way from MAD-TOWN!!

[skipsdaughter]

I'm checking on a couple other things at work right now, but might make the trip up again this year! It was really informative and fun last year!

[Spinaker]

I am booked! Can't wait to see everyone!

[Tax Man]

Dang it! Tough for me to get out of the office prior to April 15 so I guess I won't be able to make it. Hope you all have a great time!

[Craigar]

From one tax man to another, just file extensions and worry about it later.

[IowaGirl]

Signed up today. Looking forward to the fun on April 13th!

[Spinaker]

Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you!

[DoubleUpOrQuit]

Great! I second Spinaker.

[Spinaker]

I already can't wait for the lunch!!!! Skip knows what's up there!

[Skip]

I think we'll eat VERY well!

[Spinaker]

Hahaha, we always do! Skip If you don't, its your own fault!

[skipsdaughter]

I'm signed up as well -- looks like it's becoming the Minnesota--Iowa (hopefully Wisconsin and North Dakota) meat up!

[Spinaker]

Looking forward to meeting you! Especially since I have had dinner at your parent's house a few times! LOL.

[Spinaker]

This is going to be great! We have a pretty solid group going this year! I hope even more can join us. This will be so great to meet more some AR folks in person. I know Meathead will be pumped to see some of his loyal followers as well!

[SteinerBBQ]

Is everyone planning on wearing their AR gear if they have some?

[Spinaker]

I would but mine is now waaaay to big. I might have to re up before the session! SteinerBBQ

[Skip]

Yes SteinerBBQ I will wear my shirt!

[Meathead]

He MN folks, I will be speaking at the Minnesota BBQ Society Spring Training event on 4/13. PLEASE say hello. Bring copies of your book for me to sign. More info here http://mnbbqsociety.com/classes/?post=9846

[Skip]

Looking forward to it!

[DoubleUpOrQuit]

It will be a really fun day. See you there.

[IowaGirl]

The Big Day is just a week away!

I know people who've attended in the past probably know to just show up at the Meat Lab at 7:30 and all will be well. I know the reservation confirmation said more info to follow. I know I should just be patient for a few days more.

All that said, I confess I'm getting curious about the days events and activities and wondering about the best places to park on campus.

edit: Any recommendations for a hotel? Someplace clean with a decent bed.

[Skip]

IowaGirl I got an email this evening with a few more details. Not sure on a hotel.

[IowaGirl]

I got the email tonight as well. There are several places to stay within 10-15 minutes that look pretty decent.

[SteinerBBQ]

I sure am glad the expected snowstorm is Wednesday and Thursday and not Friday on this year. Expected to be worse than last year with up to 20 inches. Hopefully it won't impact the event.

[IowaGirl]

Oh, dear. You WOULD have to bring that up.

[Spinaker]

I am getting pumped to see everyone! Let's not let Snowmagedon stop us this year!

[DoubleUpOrQuit]

Agreed, on all accounts. See you on Saturday!

[Skip]

Looking forward to the Big Day and wearing my AR Shirt!

[Spinaker]

Yes! But mine doesn't fit anymore! Too Big! Skip
