Spring Gathering - Sunday May 18, 1:00 until the last person leaves

[Keith Perkins]

This is sort of short notice, but we're gathering in two weeks back here in rural Janesville again. We're meeting on a Sunday at the request of charter member Brandon so he can attend, if Mark comes a day early to this one I'll put him up for the night. :) We have a "group", if you're not a member send Brandon or I a request to join. Here's a link to a meeting food list thread. http://forum.simplydiscus.com/group.php?gmid=519&do=discuss#gmessage519

[Bill63SG]

[Trier20]

I'll bring some drink. Probably scotch


-Brandon

[Wes]

I'll smoke some Chicken wings and give them a little heat.:flame:

[Keith Perkins]

You can have first dibs on the grill Wes when I've pulled off the appetizers.

[DiscusLoverJeff]

I will bring my appetite!

And something else.

[CraigJ]

What's the new person supposed to bring?

Craig

[Keith Perkins]

What's the new person supposed to bring?

Craig

That completely depends what kind of first impression they want to make. We got everything from crackers, cheese, and sausage to some excellent home made desserts and appetizers. Good booze impresses others, me included. :) I like it all. We had an excess of sausage and cheese last time, watch we don't have any this time.

[Keith Perkins]

We doing a group buy on Al's FDBWs again?

[Keith Perkins]

Test post, please ignore.

Was this a test post of a cute new please ignore admin kind of power? Not a post since, I'd say the test was a success.

It was a successful test and showed we were having a DB issue this morning. All fixed now thanks to Paul. :)

I will be there but I am not sure what I will bring. If you need a extra hand setting things up let me know and I can be there early.

If anyone needs a ride I will be driving from Bloomington IL on I39.

[ompaathao]

So wanted to join you guys and meet everyone. Sadly Sundays don't work for me. Maybe in the future.

[DiscusLoverJeff]

I too might have to pass this Sunday as I had some more water damage in the basement Monday night and I have to devote this weekend to fixing the problems. I will let you know by Friday.

[CraigJ]

Hi Keith,

Thanks for hosting the Spring Gathering. I had a lot of fun meeting everyone and greatly enjoyed the conversations and entertainment. My fish and I also appreciated the organizing and ordering of Al's FDBW.

Enjoy my wife's knife, though I would like to get it back the next time we meet.

The food was wonderful the day beautiful. Sunny Janesville, a great place to get sun burned after a long cold lonely winter. Wisconsin's long winter with frigate temperatures can drive people into short temperaments, irritability, respectful intolerance, which often lock us within our own dogmas. Yes it has been a long winter, fuses have been short, positions sometimes as frigate and chilling as the cold itself for us Mid Westerners, yet all came together and the sun melted all the cold away. All of us from different walks of life, different beleif systems, different economics united under Cozy's roof and back yard, bathed in golden warm rays which melted even my feelings of being an outsider away. Here, we were able to enjoy conversations of fish, music, food and drink. We forgot our dispositions, left them on the coat hanger, at least I did and had wonderful conversations. Met some very fine people too. The smells of the grill and the barbecue enhanced the experience with an aroma that filled my senses with enchanting char broiled smoke. Lots of excess saliva indicating an esurient appetite, along with the warm spring sunshine, good company and topped with a spot of good old Wisconsin beer to wash it all down with, strangers became fast friends, old friends were reminded of their friendships and all that was said and done in the cold was long forgotten. As we Wisconsinites have learned though experience, things said coming out of a long frost will melt and bring forth new life. What a great way to throw off the old heavy cloaks of the season, and embrace the conversations that unite and breathe life back into us all.
What a great way to start the summer. Had a great time everyone, and for the people that could not make it, so sorry, but you missed a good gathering.

So here is a portrait of a few of the members who would sit for the camera.
