My wife calls me "Teddy" and I call her "Princess" and that's where "mrteddyprincess" comes from.
I'm starting this topic so my good friends Sid P and Draznnl can help me document a fun time today during the eclipse! We'll eventually add pics from the day. I had a really good time, and when those guys left, I realized I forgot it was Sid P 's birthday! Dang it, so, Happy Birthday, Sid!

We left the mrteddyprincess palatial estate around 5:30 pm eastern time. We arrived at our hotel in Aurora, Illinois at around 1:00 am central time. We only got off I65 to get gas. Someone else can do the math on how much extra time we sat in traffic.
What an amazing day! It was so great to meet Draznnl and see Brian again, the eclipse weather was perfect, and Brian treated us to an assortment of delicious dishes.
I didn’t realize it was an official meat-up, but Brian sent us home with Amazing Ribs ball caps, some Indiana BBQ sauces and popcorn, and locally brewed bourbon! I’m in a hotel watching the hoops and left the goodies in the car, but I’ll post some pics tomorrow.

Above and beyond the great hospitality shown to us by mrteddyprincess and the princess herself, I was awed by the man’s cooking chops. What a great spread he put out for us: brisket burnt end egg rolls; two types of flat breads - one contained homemade Italian sausage and the other shrimp Alfredo; homemade brats; smoked chicken thighs; and more (meaning I’m sure I’m forgetting an item or twelve). Each item better than the one before. Brian is a true pitmaster.
Even more impressive than the food was what nice folks Brian, Sid P and their wives are. My wife and I had a blast at the mini meat-up/eclipse party.
Uhm, Draznnl, that is perhaps, the nicest compliment possible. Thank you, and Amanda (Princess) and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and Jane, and welcome you back anytime. And Sid P can come back too if he brings Vickie. :-)
Brian sent us home with a great swag bag; genuine Indiana BBQ sauce, bourbon, and popcorn, and Amazing Ribs hats. Thanks again B, the whole day was amazing.
And I hope ya had a great time.
