    Anyone want to split a ticket/drive on? My understanding is I have to buy a 2 day pass although I am only going Friday...If you are going only Saturday, we can split the cost and I can leave everything there with someone for you. PM me if interested

    how much is a 2-day/drive on?

    if its $65 or less im down

    EDIT: ok rick, if you're talking about buying a 2day pass and a parking pass and splitting that, i am down. that would save me $7.50 you can leave the passes with mike or matt and i can leave cash with mike on saturday to give to you at a later date......

    Ok, I'm bringing the smoker and making pulled pork. 20-30 lbs probably.

    I'm bringing the pork and sauces. who wants to bring some sides (giant can of baked beans), cheaps, buns, etc?

    I figure everyone will be pretty much responsible for their own beer this time. the keg last time got painful to try and finish in a 24 hour span. I was so drunk saturday morning I didn't even want to watch the race

    also going to need some EZ up shelter type stuff in case it rains, folding tables, etc.

    mike a definite with the camper?

    I already have a pass for the rv. Maybe that is the latest you can buy one?

    In past years we always have rolled in the Thursday afternoon.

    no time to read this entire thread but has propane been handled? I think I have a full tank at the house, I can also pick up a couple cases of water.

    Hope you boys wake up early, I don't see that 1/2 day of work tomorrow in my future.

    I'm checking on the propane, but at this point, I'm going to say yes, we still need it. Having said that, I'm thinking the grill we have that uses it is a little tabletop/camping grill that uses the small bottles

    I am coming Saturday around noon with my son. What can I bring to try some of Nicad's fine cooking? Or would it be too late and just throw some money in the tip jar?

    at this point, I'd say bring baked beans and condiments. I think we have everything else covered.

    ketchup/mayo/mustard

    I'll be there tomorrow as soon as i finish helping my brother put a lsd in his e30, so hopefully around 2pm or so, I'm undecided if I'm camping or not. But I'll definitely stop by the rv. I'll bring the techno.
    I could grab my ez-up if we need another one.
