GIANT BURGERBALL - house warming party- graduation - engagement: 6/2/07 Sacramento

[Hank Scorpio]

So, were already in the planning stages. The date might move a week or two in either direction but we are thinking 6/2. THE official house warming party, engagement party, burgerball extrodinare.

- either plan on having a designated driver or bring something to make the floor semi-comfortable (we only have 1 spare bed, it'll be a fight to the death for it). Semi-standard rules apply:

bring what you want cooked with enough to feed 2-3 other people (rule of thumb, 10-15 dollars of food/soda/ect)

If your over 21, bring some beer or booze.

Were at our NEW house, please keep my neighbors on our good side ;-)

The addy is
9179 Brevard Drive
Sacramento, CA 95829

The festivities being at 2

Some revisions
- IF your under 21 please do not come with the intentions of this being a party to get hammered at. We do not want to be responsible for serving underage kids. That being said, we WANT everyone to come and I can't watch over all of you, so if your under 21, steal some beers and get drunk, just stay in the house and spend the night ;-). Please.

- I know that we all tend to get a bit rowdy, myself the most. Lets make an effort to try to keep our house intact. we have neighbors with children and we don't want to burn any bridges.

What WE will have
The place to be ofcourse
Ice chest with ice
the grille + charcoal
enough meat to make 4 bugers + buns
A fridge
paper plates
-edit: Costco run last night resulted in enough burger meat to make 24 burgers + 24 buns. If your bringing food with you from out of town bring something OTHER than burgers (hot links, cheddarbrauts, steak, bocaburgers whatever) and its matching buns (if applicable). We also have a 24 pack of Sierra Nevada Summer Brew. If your bringing beer, bring something else. 5 points to the person who brings my favorite mexican beer (I'll give you a hint its NOT tecate lol).


We will NOT be providing
drinks (Besides water)
food to feed all ya bastards. :-P

Its pretty much the standard ROE for our BBQ's, its a potluck!

[towerymt]

5467.2 miles round trip, door to door.

[CaptainWhoosh]

I'll be there with the 242 alive wether it wants to go or not!

[1 riktig svensk]

Dude.....I am flying out that morning. Leaving for Sweden at 8:30AM....bummer. I'll bring ya back a house warming-something!

[mikep]

never mind..
5467.2 miles round trip, door to door.driving the red Alfa?

[towerymt]

driving the red Alfa?
nah, it always breaks down or runs out of gas at the worst time.

[Morley]

Ok! How about if the longest journeyer get's the only spare bed?

I'm really thinking about going, by the looks of it there's not going to be any reason to stay at home this summer.

How about the longest journeyer that won't sh!t your bed get the spare bed...Sorry Morley looks like you are literally SOL... :-P

[RvolvoR]

I got the bed then

[SwedishBrick242...]

I think all the girls that come to the meet should get the bed. That way, its incentive for women to come to the meet, plus there are a bunch of women in one bed...

[blu92in99]

You know I'll be there, and depending on Elisabeth's work situation she'll be there too!

Excellent, I will finally get to see your car with the wheels on there :)His car isn't the only Volvo in town with those wheels. ;-)

[Mesoam]

[badvlvo]

Ok, who is picking me up at the airport?

[blu92in99]

Ok, who is picking me up at the airport?If I can't, you know either Gary or Keith or Steve or...

Basically Eric, we got ya covered. ;-) You need to pickup that ELF while you're here anyway. :-P

[SwedishBrick242...]

Ok, who is picking me up at the airport?

[blu92in99]

Which airport?Good question Logan. :oops: I assumed Sac airport, but ya never know...

[klr142]

I heard you were pretty funny once intoxicated?

Oh, and where are we going to park?

[Evil E]

Should be there.:cheers:

[SwedishBrick242...]

Good question Logan. :oops: I assumed Sac airport, but ya never know...
lol. Yeah, I figured it would be good information to know. If its SFO, we will be heading up that way to pick up Sam and head over from there, so it would be no problem for us.

[blu92in99]

lol. Yeah, I figured it would be good information to know. If its SFO, we will be heading up that way to pick up Sam and head over from there, so it would be no problem for us.If it's Oakland airport, you and Lanny can pick him up for me. :-P

[SwedishBrick242...]

If it's Oakland airport, you and Lanny can pick him up for me. :-P
Yes, Oakland would work as well.

[blu92in99]

Yes, Oakland would work as well.Good, I hate Oakland. (and I'm a Raiders fan too :roll: )

[SwedishBrick242...]

Good, I hate Oakland. (and I'm a Raiders fan too :roll: )

Oakland does blow some fairly hairy sack...

[Brickster151]

I can pick up at Oakland since I can head up that way.

What are you guys talking about? Oakland is a clean and peaceful city!

[notyourspoon]

I'm out on this one- I'll be in Baltimore 'til June 16th. I can't afford the gas or the time to make a trip out to cali and back. Although...a road trip would be fun.....hmmmm. Maybe my car will see california for a couple of days?

That sucks. You should totally make the trip. You know it will be worth it ;-)

I just realized that this is not the meet you asked for a ride to. :-P

Hey Pat, we should meet up somewhere to caravan in. You know our cars would look sick rolling together ;-)

[Morley]

That makes two boring dudes. :-P

I think the UK guys were surprised to see that I'm mostly a shy and quiet guy - I think after Griz I was the guy at the party speaking the least. Fredrik, on the other hand almost wore out other peoples ears. :rofl:

Well, give me something with a steering wheel and I turn into an attention whore. In every negative way possible.

I heard you were pretty funny once intoxicated?

Oh, and where are we going to park?

I have lots of parking up and down the street. Nice thing is across the street is someones back yards so there is no driveways for quite a while.

Should be there.:cheers:

[badvlvo]

Damn, I totally forgot about that with all the moving crap going on!


I'm sure someone can pick me up at Sac airport but I might fly into Monterey and hang out with Russ in Carmel for a day or 2. Then he can drive me up there. Now I just need to see what I have to pull to get the days off I need.

[resa850]

If I can make it to the Burgerball, I'm sure I could swing by Sac Airport, it'll only be 10 minutes out of the way.

Says the man who pulled a J turn on the lawn of a family park :rofl:

What will the flights cost, roughly? I'm almost tempted to join you Audun.

cheers

James

[blu92in99]

What will the flights cost, roughly? I'm almost tempted to join you Audun.Now THAT would kick arse. :cool:

[SwedishBrick242...]

Wow, this is going to be frickin huge. Your neighbors are going to hate you Doug ;-)

[notyourspoon]

wtf, i wanna go :grrr:

If I end up going, you can't complain about the drive.

[klr142]

I'm not going to be making it... Should really be saving that money and time for some other stuff... Sorry for leading you guys on! I WANNA come though!!!

[badvlvo]

Ok, so I guess I am putting in the request for the time off at work. As long as it is approved, I will be there. And since I won't have to drive, there will be some drinking to be done.

Patron right?

Thanks for all the offers for rides guys! I will post when and where I am flying into as soon as I know.

[Hank Scorpio]

damn this is going to be a huge BBQ lol

[notyourspoon]

I'm currently talking it over with one of my friends about the distance. It may be feasible.

[Big Lan]

You're not a noob anymore. Cool! And you'd be hardcore driving out here. You totally need to do it man. Think of the burgers...:oogle:

[notyourspoon]

Believe me- I went them burgers! I'm currently 66% in as of now. It all comes down to having the cash for gas, caffeine, and some food on our way there.


How many frickin' emoticons do you guys need to choose from!?

[badvlvo]

Swedish Fish might need a ride too. I am trying to get him to take the trip.

Mabye I can get a couple more guys from down here to fly up.

errrr, are you getting some visitors?

[notyourspoon]

Looks like I'm almost definitely in.

[iroller]

I'm thinking of flying back from London directly to your BBQ, partying with all you guys for the night and picking up the car from Pat, then driving down to San Diego for a couple days, pick up a couple friends, then drive back to NY. Then my heart will stop.

And somewhere in there I should visit some friends in Santa Cruz and my ex-gf in San Francisco but that might be pushing it.

[TurboBrickMan]

Who from up here wants to carpool/caravan down?

[klr142]

I was thinking about it, but my money would be better spent paying off some debts... Unless we got another person or two to split the costs? We could go in my car, won't be the FASTEST, but it'll be good nuff.

I didn't see anyone looking at it, then again, I didn't watch it to see if anyone was looking. It was SUPER dirty that day. I just vacuumed it out and put the floormats and dash pad back in it, much better now, inside.

Drag James and Audun back with you and you would officially be the most hard-core tbricker in exsistance.

I have a 6 pack waiting for you here bud, its the absolute least I could do.

[TurboBrickMan]

Nobody? People coming from the north want to meet here and roll down?

[lizadactyl]

Do you know what one of the best parts of this is going to be? This year, I won't be running a marathon 4 days after Burgerball so I'll actually be able to have more than half a beer!

In fact I'm definitely bringing my special drinking glasses

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i77/sommarisverige/468730487_be8a3be639.jpg

[1stRaven]

HAHAHAHA Class!

[resa850]

see you really should come out!!! on second thought, who flys to another country just for a car meet? someone needs to volunteer to be your west coast tour guide.

Yeah!

Or you're just chicken.

[SwedishBrick242...]

So it turns out I may only be able to make it to this if I can find a job and a place to live within the next month all while packing all my ****, my parent's ****, and figuring out how to move my inoperable car. My parents are moving to Washington in less than 2 months, and I don't have a choice with no job and no income...

[foggyjames]

We're working on a plan involving next year, methinks. :-(

My final final is on 6-12.

Or you're just chicken.

I'm taking 14 credits and I work 30-35 hours a week while somehow maintaining a social life.

[notyourspoon]

Logan, I'm coming to this thing and I ain't driving from San Fran either. You gotta be there!

[BrickBaller]

Count me in assuming I can find some gas $$ or highjack a fuel truck.

It sounds like floor space will be limited - could I bring a tent/bag for the backyard?

Timing is perfect - weekend before last week of class.

[resa850]

tents are a great idea!!! is that okay doug?

[SwedishBrick242...]

Ok, looks like I should still be here for this... I hope. I may be living in a ****ty apartment with my dad at the time, but at least I will still be in the area.... I hope...

[resa850]

^ hurrayyy!!!!

tents are fine with me :-D

You should fly out this year! I'll show you around California.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

this may sound like a strange question but is anyone coming down to this from the portland area? and if they are, is there any chance they could bring some things (volvo related, wagon needed) down with them? I'd love to go to this, the timing seems right, uhhh, yeh:)

[TurboBrickMan]

Kyle and I are talking about going. We'd prolly take his car, he drives "No Longer Mom's Grocery Getter" (a 244dl). If I get my wagon going (needs motor/tranny) we can take that. However he'll get much better mileage than I will in the wagon (turbo).

[klr142]

It's not a DL, it's just a 240. :-P It's too new for that junky moniker. :nod:

well, if you end up taking the wagon and would be willing to haul possibly a set of 740 doors (the whole doors, not just door panels) and some coil overs that would be AWESOME...the doors arent final, but the coilovers are pretty sure.

[SwedishBrick242...]

Well ****, even if I DO end up in Washington before this meet, I will just drive down and caravan with the Portland people ;-)

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

oh right, just so no one thinks im a total moocher on the "can you bring stuff down for me" if there is someone in socal that wants to tag along with me to this I'll have an open passenger seat:)

[TurboBrickMan]

Yep.

[notyourspoon]

My friend and I are making the plans to come over. We're going to drive to san fran and then down to the burgerball. We're gonna crash on the floor/ in the car/ on the lawn/ in the middle of nowhere (you never know when you're drunk) then start our drive back the next day back to the east coast.

[Hank Scorpio]

Smores you say... maybe I'll have to get one of those outdoor firepit things

[Steve O]

tents are fine with me :-D


VolvoStock!!! Bring on the hippies. :lol:

[resa850]

Smores you say... maybe I'll have to get one of those outdoor firepit things

doesn't your dad have one? remember? we used it in burney a few years ago. it looks like one of those cloeman thingys but has a cage around it.


then again, is a fire pit really a good idea with a bunch of drunkies running around?

[notyourspoon]

Yes, yes it is. Especially because there are drunkies running around. Definitely

I think it might be taking on a little too much - this is shaping up to be one busy-ass year! There does appear to be a serious plan emerging involving next year though...better be a Burgerball in our honour ;-)

[Hank Scorpio]

doesn't your dad have one? remember? we used it in burney a few years ago. it looks like one of those cloeman thingys but has a cage around it.


then again, is a fire pit really a good idea with a bunch of drunkies running around?

your right, I think he does. Weee drunken smores!

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

so doug, will your back yard be fire performer friendly?

[Hank Scorpio]

so doug, will your back yard be fire performer friendly?

ahaha.

no.

[BrickBaller]

Smores you say... maybe I'll have to get one of those outdoor firepit things

I've found a simple hole in the ground works just fine, except if you have a lawn.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

ahaha.

no.

awwwww:-( i promise to light nothing on fire other than my props!

[BrickBaller]

awwwww:-( i promise to light nothing on fire other than my props... and marshmallows

bump for some new info.

[Eargasm]

I can bring my fire stuff with me and do some performance:)

Does it involve flatulence?

[badvlvo]

Wow, there are houses out there now?!?!??

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

Does it involve flatulence?

heh, no.

I've been praticing staff twirling lately, and have been doing fire spinning (fuel soaked kevlar balls on chains, one in each hand) for the last 3years.

when I picked up this hobby i figured I'd learn the most dangerous one first and then move on to the easier stuff:-P

[916volvosport]

can i give teresa 2 shots this time?

[Hank Scorpio]

can i give teresa 2 shots this time?

no for all our sakes.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

no for all our sakes.

are you sure I cant bring my fire stuff?:-D

[crandandall]

Damn, how many cars can fit in the back yard, I may just throw a twin mattress in the back of my car and back it up to the firepit. Flaming drunken hippies in Volvo's FTW. :-P

Hey Doug, ya know how we were talking about the jumpy house and the slip n slide? Check this out.
http://www.monsterbounce.com/buy/Water_Units/Magic_Jump_Double_Lane_Slip_n_Slide

That is awesome.

[BrickBaller]

Awesome, but I could go a lot faster with a $4k volvo than a $4k slip and slide. Although it does have room to race someone side by side...

[foggyjames]

It's like some kinda Tbricks drag strip for sliding on your belly. Who's betting Doug gets to the 60' (6'?) first? :rofl:

So uh Kyle? Still want to head down? I need to know so I can get work off on that weekend.

[klr142]

I don't think we're gonna do it man... I shouldn't be winging it, especially without at least two other people to pitch in for $$$. :(

[crandandall]

I don't think we're gonna do it man... I shouldn't be winging it, especially without at least two other people to pitch in for $$$. :(

I may be able to get my buddy and his girlfriend to go with you guys. You'll meet them this weekend.

I'll use this to pop my volvo meet cherry..

Ooooooh? :oogle:

[TurboBrickMan]

I got a 1991 Passat wagon on Friday, needs a heater core which will happen SOON (prolly Tuesday). It's good on gas and pretty spacy so we can take that. And who didn't I meet this weekend?

[klr142]

Right on. Can we trust it? :-P You missed out on meeting Dan(crandandall above), his wife(gf?), Nikki and TJ(who would be the other two coming down with us, maybe).

[TurboBrickMan]

We should be able to trust it. I REALLY like driving it, even though it's an autotragic it's very quite and comfortable, and 140 hp isn't to bad in a car of that age/weight. I plan to do a couple seals (valve cover, pan gasket) and the timing belt, as well as some tires. I plan to own the car for quite a while so I want to make it last.

[klr142]

Good deal.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

here's hopin you'll get to bring down some goodies for me in that passat:)

[crandandall]

Right on. Can we trust it? :-P You missed out on meeting Dan(crandandall above), his wife(gf?), Nikki and TJ(who would be the other two coming down with us, maybe).

If I have any say, you guys will all be coming down. I wouldn't mind helping with gas to get all four of you guys down here for this.;-)

[klr142]

:) Kickass. I'm in, you just need to convince Nikki and Tj. Feel free to give them my number.

[TurboBrickMan]

Finished the heater core...man that sucked donkey dick. Passat is ready to roll.

anyone driving thru/near las vegas on the way over?

Not driving through Vegas, but if you do fly into Sac international, I can pick you up. I have to drive within a few miles of it on the way to Doug's anyway.

[bswizzle]

solid, i set down at smf at 6pm on 6/1 and fly out 6/3 at 7pm. Worst case scenario ill cab it or take some public transpo

[crandandall]

Since the BBQ isn't till saturday, you need a place to stay friday? I could always pick you up and you can crash on my couch. Don't know if you have plans already or not.

[crandandall]

:) Kickass. I'm in, you just need to convince Nikki and Tj. Feel free to give them my number.
They're coming, June 2nd is actally Nikki's birthday. Oh yeah, Tj got that job over at HM motorsports. No more pumping gas for chump change.:)

[Hank Scorpio]

Well come get you!! Sweet deal benwizzle!

So I'm driving Nikki, Tj, Kyle and myself? Sounds sweet. Burn CD's.

[klr142]

They're coming, June 2nd is actally Nikki's birthday. Oh yeah, Tj got that job over at HM motorsports. No more pumping gas for chump change.:)Kickass! Now to plan the details of when we're leaving and when we're getting back...

[TurboBrickMan]

Indeed, and I need to see if 740 doors fit in my car?

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

Indeed, and I need to see if 740 doors fit in my car?

yesssssss!!!!! and a hatch on your roof:lol:

is there no one else in oregon coming down for this?

[crandandall]

Kickass! Now to plan the details of when we're leaving and when we're getting back...

Tj was saying that Nikki has some overtime saved up at school, so she can miss a day or two. I don't know about Tj though with his new job and everything. I'm sure he can work something out though, he better. :)

[klr142]

I think we may be jamming it all into the weekend actually...

We might leave super super early on saturday morning, and then sometime at a decent hour on sunday.

Maybe. That's a bit harsh on the driving/sleep ratio. Anywhere to stay either sunday night or friday night? I'd probably rather take monday off and drive up then, as opposed to taking friday off.

[TurboBrickMan]

I have class that I ABSOLUTLY can't miss at 9:00 on Monday morning. Long story short: back in high school my buddy lived with me because his parents moved to Sacramento, and they still do. I'm sure that they'd be more than willing to let us stay at their place Friday night.

[crandandall]

I thought Doug and T were having a campout in their back yard, I heard mentions of a fire pit and s'mores.:badboy:

[TurboBrickMan]

I'm game.

[TurboBrickMan]

O btw I have a topper box on the Passat, so I was thinking that we can put our stuff up there and the doors in the trunk, and somehow tiedown/rope/bungee the tailgate to the roof so we'd still have plenty of room for four people inside.

[notyourspoon]

I'm out - bro crashed my car and it won't be fixed in time

[klr142]

Eek. Soo much for gas mileage. You're going to be getting like 15, and we're going to have to worry about stuff flying off the car, no fun. And crappy on the you needing to be back for monday, monday off would've worked better for me, and we also would have more time to recover from saturday night's activities... :oogle:
I'm out - bro crashed my car and it won't be fixed in time
:censored: :pow: Sorry to hear that man!!! How bad is it?

[TurboBrickMan]

Lucky the smiling pirate will be buying us a tank.

EDIT: we will be rotating drivers, especally on sunday.

[SwedishBrick242...]

:) I'll have to drive slow though. And that'll suck. Driving fast is most of the fun!!! Ok, I'll stop complaining... :-P

or you could just bring another wagon along, split the gas suckage amongst 2 cars, not worry about anything flying off the roof cuz of speed and I'll top off both tanks:roll: just dont purposely drain the tanks to empty on me, k?:-P

[crandandall]

Well yeah, but that's for Saturday night...



Oh yeah, I'm an idiot. Like I said, my place is always open but it's about 35-45 minutes from Doug's.

[klr142]

Oh yeah, I'm an idiot. Like I said, my place is always open but it's about 35-45 minutes from Doug's.
Works for me... Now, if only it works for everyone else. Is it going to be an additional 35-45 minutes from Portland? Or just from Doug's place?

bent subframe and it happens to need a new clutch after 193,XXX miles

[TurboBrickMan]

Ouch.

[SwedishBrick242...]

bent subframe and it happens to need a new clutch after 193,XXX miles

:wtf: aiee. Damn that sucks man. Yeah, I can see how that would take longer to fix...

Where are you going to be coming from that weekend?

[crandandall]

Works for me... Now, if only it works for everyone else. Is it going to be an additional 35-45 minutes from Portland? Or just from Doug's place?

Probably about the same. Instead of taking 99 south from 5 south, you take 80 east towards Reno and it's about 25-30 minutes from there.

[TurboBrickMan]

I just hooked up my sub in my passat...it's quality.

[klr142]

But will the doors still fit inside? :-P

I'm going to ask for that friday off. Dan, do you want me to get into contact with Nikki and TJ? I assume yes, as we'll have to meet somewhere anyway... :) If you don't mind, I think the four of us would prefer to head directly to your place on friday, and crash there that night. Saturday we'll be at Doug's, and then we'll head up sunday. Sunday's going to be a looooong day...

[TurboBrickMan]

Should fit. If not I'll just take it out. I'm kinda wondering if they'll fit in the first place...

[crandandall]

Sure, I'll PM you his number and I'll talk to him ASAP to give him the plans and your number.

[TurboBrickMan]

If you could PM me his number as well that'd be cool, being in contact with them via phone would be easier than on here.

[crandandall]

You've got PM.

[Hank Scorpio]

just so you guys know, friday night is already pretty much packed at our house. Sat night is cool for the camp out... we'll clear the yard up for ya guys too ;-)

[klr142]

Yeah, we'll be planning on staking it out at Dan's friday night, then yours on saturday. :-D Gotta figure out our tenting situation now... :)

[TurboBrickMan]

I gotta tent we can share :oogle: . Lol it's plenty big for two guys.

[foggyjames]

Gayest post evar? :-D

cheers

James

[klr142]

Yeah... I had to respond to that one in a PM... :)

I just talked to TJ on the phone, he's asking for friday off. :nod:

[TurboBrickMan]

Quality.

[s_r_c]

Blast!
You guys have this planned for the one, the only weekend I requested off all year to go do something other than work. Another party.

When do things get going on Saturday? I may be able to hit the esteemed Mr. Scorpio fellow's place Saturday afternoon on the way out of Sacramento.

Anyone want to see a Citroen wagon? The Volvos aren't really going right now...

[Redwood Chair]

O btw I have a topper box on the Passat, so I was thinking that we can put our stuff up there and the doors in the trunk, and somehow tiedown/rope/bungee the tailgate to the roof so we'd still have plenty of room for four people inside.

Don't you guys know what a station wagon is?:uh:

[TurboBrickMan]

Don't you guys know what a station wagon is?:uh:

I'm taking myself and three others, a 740 tailgate, two 740 doors (which may or may not fit in the trunk) and 4 people's stuff + beer + food. Duh.

[klr142]

Don't you guys know what a station wagon is?:uh:
It is a wagon! :)
Anyone want to see a Citroen wagon? The Volvos aren't really going right now...
Heck yes... (oh, and I forgot to ask the dude if he wants the seats or visors, DOH!)

[s_r_c]

Hmm. Ask him, and I can bring those.

[Hank Scorpio]

probably start the "activities" around noon

[Magnum TE]

I'll be late on saturday. We're going Kimono shopping in Japan town on the 2nd so I'll be leaving from there.

[Hank Scorpio]

I'll be late on saturday. We're going Kimono shopping in Japan town on the 2nd so I'll be leaving from there.

trust me, it'll go late late late into the evening.

[TurboBrickMan]

Quality. I'm stoked.

[resa850]

doug is it a good idea to start the festivities at noon? knowing us, we'll be passed out by four. then again, people probably wont' show up as early as noon... so game on! come anytime after noon guys and gals!

just don't get so drunk that you tell people to leave at 8pm.

[Hank Scorpio]

ok, how about 3 then?

[TurboBrickMan]

When I lived in the frat we'd wake up early (like 6:30) after going to bed at about 3 because of partying for football games that started at eleven. We'd go have breakfast with what we could find in the fridges, somebody would go to winco with the house's debt card and get a couple dozen cubes of beer, and we'd drink our lives away. Go to the game, come back at about 5, pass out til 8, make somebody make dinner, make literally one phone call and within an hour a couple hundred people would show up ready to party again. If Doug can do crazy those crazy things with Volvos then he can do this. My liver hates me btw.

[SwedishBrick242...]

then again, people probably wont' show up as early as noon...

I would. I.... I don't have a whole lot going on right now... :-(


Seriously though, I can't wait for this. :-D

[s_r_c]

Noon would be early enough for me, then I could hang out some. If there's no one around I'll just stand the 142 seats up for Kyle with a partially consumed beer so you'll know I was there. Also a puddle of dexron from the Citroen would be incriminating evidence.

Assuming the new guy wants 'em. I should take pictures...

[klr142]

He doesn't want'm he says... Nor the visors. I guess other things are more important to fix/improve on the car.

[Hank Scorpio]

ok, 2pm. We will be there but getting the house ready before 2.

[TurboBrickMan]

See ya then. I'm stoked.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

sigh...looks like I get to drive up to portland before going to doug's>.<

luckily i took just barely enough time off from work to get it done assuming I drive 8hours a day to get there and just enough time there to get the merchandise i want:roll:

doug, can i just bring cash as far as my contribution to the bbq goes?

Less than 2 weeks :zeeall:

Yep. I think its in the original post but my general rule of thumb is 10 dollars or 10 dollars worth the food / drink.

Since half this board is cheap as hell and will barely do 5 bucks, it usually balances out.

[SwedishBrick242...]

I could just bring $20 worth of twinkies again :-P

[bswizzle]

if you wouldnt mind swinging me by a grocer when i get into town, ill gladly pick up a couple nice bottles of wine and some thick ribeyes

everyone, remember this is a housewarming party, bring a gift for the new owners. I recomend porn and beer, but then Doug might feel left out.

I think I should be able to make it, no conflicts this time. Maybe this'll make me get my ass together and take care of the few things lying around my room that need to go on the car.
