Finally contacted my buddy today...
His replied to some of my questions:
As far as bringing stuff, lessee... I can do all the meats, but if folks wanted to bring along some of their favorite sides, that would be good. I'll have beer, too, but if folks wanted to bring some of their preferred brews, that'd be welcome.
The humidor is doing good!! I'm sure people are going to bring along their favorites. I'll have my pipe!
If it rains, hmmm. I have a large yard gazebo thingie that I can put up. It's reasonably rain-proof.
I've got plenty of juniper wood - smells really sweet when it burns! (I asked him if I should bring pinion for the chiminea.)
He's also going to invite a couple of other local friends.
And beers probably won't be any Bud or Miller or PBR...
Don't know about for y'all.... but time is zipping by for me.... blink, blink, boom... Oct 22!
Oh, and I'll be staying at the Candlewood Suites at Ohio and Legacy. It's a few blocks from his house.
So.. Mikey, coolbreeze, stinger, fenderbender, drafter, some wives, some stragglers (?) and me...
