I can probably carpool anyone near Cincinnati or between Cincinnati and the lake.

Very excited! WOOT!!! Ill just reiterate what everyone else says you wont regret the trip no matter how far you travel for it. The location is perfect the atmosphere is awesome, and the ribs alone are worth driving at least 5000 miles for .

Shoes, worst case if z-man can't make it - meatballs and pizza...?

z-man, really hope you can make it.

LOL God I hope he comes!!!

...Alternatively, Fish will have to convince Z-man to provide the recipe, and those of us that can cook would be able to make a reasonable approximation of the ribs.

I have the recipe but theres more to the recipe than just the ingredients it just isnt the same...

You do?

baked beans.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

We swapped recipes last year baked beans for ribs.

That was you? I thought it was someone else.

lol, I can confirm it was Shoes.

z-man, serious question, between the grilling setup featured in the first post and the normal pig roaster what is your preference? I want to book one of them this week...

Also, can I get a preliminary showing of hands attendee wise?

Consider this a preliminary "yes" we'll be there, possibly subject to change.

Good news everyone! If z-man can't make it my mom has agreed to cook!

wewt we need publicity!!!

Heh, I just emailed Damage about a front page headline...

If the chunk charcoal has a smoker in it then we can give it a whirl this year. Remember once they have a mild sear on them they get moved away from direct heat.

If not the roaster is fine.

Chunc and I will be there. *hands*

Ohio gerbils: anyone interested in a carpool? We're starting in Cincinnati so pretty much anywhere in the state is somewhat "on the way"

We'll were approaching a month to go so I'm going to try to kick this thread into a higher gear. I added the list of possible attendees to the first post, adjusted for historical likelihood in addition to what has been posted in this thread so far. Please give a shout out and let me know if I'm close, also might as well add what you can bring food wise.

Also there's been some talk about the swap meet side of things... Someone else is welcome to start a thread in the BB but I'm just going to post here. I have about 20 36GB Raptors (BYORAID, sorry), maybe 5 250GB WD RE SATA HDs, half a dozen 250GB+ 7200rpm laptop hard drives, a 30GB and 128GB J-Micro SSD (disclaimer, I retired them for Indilinx based drives for a reason), a couple of barely used large-ish Wacom Intuos Tablets, my old pair of 8800GTXs and some other misc. crap.

Edit: Can someone let Gleek know the plan???

He is aware

I'm 50/50 right now - only issues basically "can i afford a hotel" and "can i get friday off to drive down"

Also of course if I can make it i'm willing to dogpile anyone else in the greater Toronto area into my jetta

I'll repeat again that camping is welcome. Yard or beach is all good. Night before and night after are options... Just get with me first.

TR BBQ VII. It's not for the weak, it's for the weekend.

What about hosting the cook? Would make my life a lot easier.

For the cook we might be able to wrangle up a room inside. My girlfriend's family will be there Friday night but there will be a bedroom open (the one right next to the kitchen actually, heh).
