Let's meet up! Feb 27, 2016 Operation Barbecue Relief event in Louisville, KY

[David Parrish]

It's at the Marriott Downtown in Louisville. See you there!

[Jon Solberg]

Glad this got bumped. Who still going? I'm on the fence to be honest.

I will be there. You will too. Pit Boss's orders

[B-Mac]

Thanks Pit Boss. I'll be there.

[David Parrish]

Thanks Pit Boss. I'll be there.

Awesome!

[Huskee]

6:38 for me not counting stops.

Should I?

[B-Mac]

Absolutely Huskee, would be great to have another Michigander there.

[David Parrish]

Yes. Yes you should!

[richinlbrg]

Of course you should. MH and ALL the Mods should be there.

If it weren't my busiest time of year, I'd be there. And I'm still going to work my butt off to try to be able to get there, but frankly have little hope.

Wish it were during a different time of year.

[Nate]

I just purchased my tickets and booked my room! Who else is going to be there?

[B-Mac]

Wife & I will be there.
Staying at the hotel Sat. night.

[David Parrish]

I'll be there with the Missus. We're donating a couple of Slow 'N Sears for the auction, so bring some dollars. These Slow 'N Sears will have the new charcoal grate attachment included!

The Slow 'N Sear itself remains the same for 2016. The charcoal grate attachment fits on all Slow 'N Sears. We'll have them officially on sale in a month or so.

[Nate]

My wife and I will be coming in Saturday sometime. I don't think we are going to be able to make it down Friday night. Are you going to have a booth as well?

[David Parrish]

We'll arrive Saturday afternoon as well. We aren't planning on a booth but our donation exceeds $200 so we'll have display space for our donation =)

[Nate]

Any idea on a good way to get some of the AR guys together or to meet up for a little meet and greet or pic or something?

[Danjohnston949]

David Parrish, I would dearly Love to Attend the Operation BBQ Rescue Get Together in Louisville but I think it's a Bridge Too Far at this Point in my
Recovery! I would like in some small way to Contribute to the Meeting! Any suggestions would be appreciated?

[David Parrish]

Dan you can always throw in a donation. It's for a good cause!

[Spinaker]

If you do end up going.....drop me a line when you come through the Twin Cities on your way down. Danjohnston949

[David Parrish]

I plan on arriving Saturday afternoon around 4:30. I'll hang out near the Slow 'N Sears we donated. I'll be wearing a Slow 'N Sear long sleeve shirt.

[Nate]

see you there boss

[David Parrish]

Excellent!

[ribeyeguy]

I'd love to go but the wife is just 2 weeks off of knee replacement surgery so it's out for her. Maybe I could just surround her with a few days of food and drink and leave her at home? I'll have to see how she feels about that. What do you think her reaction will be when I ask her?

[David Parrish]

Only one way to find out

Hope she gets well soon.

[DWCowles]

I was planning on being there but I won't be home until Monday (the day after).

[Nate]

Sorry to hear it DW. Maybe next time. Have a safe trip.

[richinlbrg]

I hope all those going have a GREAT time, and learn lots, too!

REALLY wish I could join y'all!!

Safe travels!

[David Parrish]

At this point I'm wondering if it's just me and Nate

[richinlbrg]

Hope it is more, but if not, I am sure there will be plenty of great folks to get to know!

Just a bad time of year for me.

[Danjohnston949]

David Parrish, I too am sending my Regrets, I would have loved to have been there! In particular I would have Enjoyed Meeting Your Lovely Wife! I
am Sure She Is The Better Half greet her in my abscence! I did take your suggestion and made a meager donation to OBR yesterday!
Enjoy the Get Together, Eat Well and Prosper! From Fargo ND, Dan

[Nate]

It was a great time. It was awesome getting to meet up with some other AR guys.
Highlights include:

• Bourbon tasting with Freddie Noe (great great grandson of Jim Beam and heir to the throne so to speak)
• Chance to hang out, talk with, meet, get a signed book from, and get a picture with Famous Dave
• Great selection of Raffle and Auction Items (including the Slow N Sear, Class with Tuffy Stone, Week at Famous Dave's Private getaway, Green Egg, smokers, and more)
• Whole Hog Cooking Demo and Tasting
• Helping raise over $25k for OBR

David Parrish , There was also that funny moment when we both glanced at each other after that lady at the table started talking about how wonderful her husband's Beer Can Chicken was.

B-Mac , Sorry my wife took this picture before you showed up. My apologies for not getting you in there. Boss might have one from you luckily winning the Slow N Sear.

Hopefully more people can show up next year.

[Spinaker]

ha, that damn beer chicken thing. Hahaha that myth just won't die!!!
