Announcing a southeastern Wisconsin Meet & Greet!

Brew and Mosaicwench will be hosting a meet and greet for any interested clusterheads on Saturday June 13, 2009 from 2:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.

The night before, June 12, alienspacebabe’s (Lizzie’s) daughter Teresa, will be racing at the Madison International Speedway in Oregon, WI. Several clusterheads from out of town (waaayyyy out of town) will be coming in to see her race, and we just couldn’t let that opportunity go without planning a little cookout and fun time together. We will supply the meat, buns, plates, napkins, cups, etc., Lizzie will supply soft drinks, you can bring your own libations, and we will ask that you bring a dish to pass.

If you’d like to attend, please send a PM to me or Mosaicwench by June 5, 2009 to let us know how many people will be in your party. In return, we’ll send you directions and what category of passable dish to bring (side, salad, pasta, dessert, etc.). It would be fine with me if we end up with 23 pans of brownies, but staring at a couple thousand pickle spears can be a little disheartening.

Can’t wait to see you!

Ruth and I will be 2 of the out of towners that will be there. I will let the other out of towners make their announcements. I can't wait.

Thanks Bill, Pat and Lizzie.

As long as United Airlines doesn't file for Chapter 7 between now and then I will be there as well. I guess I qualify as coming from "wayyyyy out of town".

Thursday through Sunday in the land of cheese, curds and beer. God help me.  ;D

Thats ok Bill. I got your back. Us country boys gotta stick together.

Indeed.......thanks Bro.

Jesse and I are going to try and make it down there.  We'd probably arrive Friday early evening to see Teresa race and then head back Saturday evening.  We'd be leaving the kids home, so don't want to stay for more time than that.

Will let ya know for sure as it gets closer to June!

:)mel

We've got it on our calandar....gonna try.  Depends on what's going on around here by then but we'd love to come.   :)

Both Diane and I are planning on gong to the race and the cook out sounds great. Thanks for hosting. :)

Oh......Ramon is coming too? ::)

LOL Jimi!


I'm gonna see what we can do.  We probably cant go to St louis.. so this will have to be our clusterfix for the year.... just gotta see if i can get someone to switch with me at work.

smooches everyone!

Pat or Bill, could I just bring a cold salad?  I'm not good at much else... :-/

Yes, but we don't have to do all that here on the board. As it gets closer, we'll coordinate it all via PM.

Actually, Mel, now that I think about it - could you do Chateaubriand for about 20-25? Thanks.

j/k

I think I'll be at the race. Who is this Teresa girl that everyone is talking about?  :P

I wont' be able to make it to the cookout however. I have taken the entirety (sp?) of that Friday off of work, so I'll be around if anyone would want to do anything before the races with this yungun (my "Southern" isn't very good, so sorry if there is a spelling mistake there).

Can't wait!  :D

Editing to add: Looking at my schedule a little closer, there is a possibility of being able to come to the cookout for a short period of time (like an hour or two right around 2pm), so I'm no longer out for sure. :)

Who is this yungun Teresa and why would we want to see her race lawnmowers across Lake Mendota wearing a gorilla suit and pink candle earring (lit, of course) whilst playing Flight of the Bumblebee on her trumpet?

Heck if I know...

;D

Hotel reservation is now made for the night of June 12 in Madison.  Jesse and I will be leaving home after he is done working on Friday, going to watch Teresa race then staying at the Days Inn Madison (same as Jimi & Ruth's hotel).  We'll come to Bill & Pat's for awhile the next day, but since Jesse will have to be up at 4:30am Sunday to go to work, we'll only be able to stay for a few hours on Saturday.  

Bill & Pat, was the cookout going to be for dinner or a late lunch?

I wasn't even thinking that far ahead, but if you have to leave a little early, then we'll make sure that you don't leave hungry.

Thank you Bill.  

Since it's less than 3 weeks away, is it OK if I offer to bring a cold salad?  It's called Summer Salad and it has ring noodles, cucumbers, celery, carrots, onions and a light white dressing.  :)

BTW, can you PM me directions to your house?  How far away is it from Madison?  Thanks!

Bless your heart. Absolutely. But if keeping it cold is going to be a problem during your travels, please let me know.

Yes, I'll do that this week sometime - for you and anyone else who needs them. Depending on where in Madison you're staying, it's right around 90 minutes, give or take.

Mel......since you are staying at the same hotel as Bill, Ruth and I, you can just follow us. I have already put their addy in my GPS.

Ok, what time will you be leaving on Sat. to drive there?

:)

After I get up, have breakfast, take a dump and slap you around a little and then I will be ready to go.  ::)

Heck, I don't know. Whenever you say. :)

  Ya all just HAD to go and do this M&G one week BEFORE I get to Kentucky, didn't ya?   :'(

Hope you all have a great time.

Push up your schedule and come a week early Linda. ;)

All done in conjunction with Teresa's race on June 12.

So I guess it's all her fault. ;)

My fault - I'll take the blame.

I'm hosting the 50/50 raffle at the racetrack that night - OUCH gets the money!!

So, originally, Jon wasn't sure if he'd be able to make it to the race on Friday. But the other plans he had seem to have fallen through. I can't say for certain that he will be there, but I should at least get the opportunity to show you guys that he isn't just a figment of my imagination!  :D :D

Less than 2 weeks!! SOOO excited! I can't wait to see everyone!

I guess I may have to get my ghostbusters outfit out. Looks like a ghost may be in attendance.

Who's Jon?

sssssshhhhhhh...........it's her imaginary friend. ::)

Imaginary friends ROCK!!  Mines' name is Eduardo. :)

If he's imaginary, that's fine. I can deal with that.

But if he's real, what's he bringing as a dish to pass?

;D

So, is there a list of who is all coming?

(p.s. Linda, I wish you were on it. :'()

I'll put a list up here, but not until after the RSVP date.

Ok great, thanks.

Can I bring a (gulp!) date?

Of COURSE you can bring a date!

It would only be shocking if I brought a date! ;D

What would be shocking is If I could attend AND bring a date....

The whole world paradigm  would have to shift to make THAT  happen,  but I just had to chime in.  I Wish I could be there...........

Here's who's coming so far:

Brew, Mosaicwench, JrBrew, and JrBrew's GF
Melissa and Jesse
Jimi and Ruth
alienspacebabe, Teresa, and Teresa's imaginary friend, Jon
Kilroy 2.0 and Thomas
lashultz & lashultzswfe
Jimyhertz
Racer1_NC
slhaas and Dawn (possible - driving back from Colorado that day)

Woobie reports that she and Cerebus will not be able to attend due to the fact that Cerebus' grandmother just passed away, and they are on their way to Winnipeg for the funeral.

Jackie and Blake will not be able to attend because, well, they're Jackie and Blake and have a zillion things going on, not the least of which is a high school graduation for some dear family friends.

If anyone knows of anybody I've left off this list, please let me know. Thanks! Can't wait to see you all!

Don't forget ASB's (gasp) date! ;)

Don't forget Chris alias (that god damn kid) :D

Gotcha!

Oh ya times 2 on the kid thing. Ed is coming too.

Outstanding!

Thanks for letting us know.

:'(

Unfortunately Dawn and I will not be able to attend, due to being in Colorado.  I really wish we could've pushed things off to a different date as to fit both on the schedule, but it didn't work.  Perhaps I'll host the next SE Wisconsin M&G.

Well, if you want a leftover bratwurst for lunch next week (hint: they don't last long), you'll have to come over and meet my family.

We're scheduled to arrive back in Milwaukee at 3:15 on Sunday, so depending on weather and delays, we might be back in time to stop by the festival.  I've got it scheduled into my phone schedule, so we'll be there if time permits.

Knew i wouldn't be able to make Sat, but had hoped to make the race. :'(  I'm really bummed abut that!  Keep us posted on the next one.  I want to see that pink car in front of everybody!

Just chillin' and waiting for clusterhead guests . . . .
