Official Date 8/15/15Reservations for the cottage are opening up early this year so even though it's slightly premature we need to talk dates for the summer... Based on a rather significant birthday of a certain VIP I'm thinking August 8th, 15th or 22nd would be best with the 15th probably being the best option of the three. Speak up though, we want to give as many people as possible a chance to attend (and Sheldon isn't really that important). UPDATE 7/19/15: Get your shirt on!
This year we're doing a BBQ first and offering custom designed t-shirts to attendees as a fundraiser to help cover costs. The
only way to get a shirt is to make a donation to the BBQ using PayPal (no freebies, not even for VIPs), the shirt is your gift thanking you for the donation. After you donate send me a PM confirming what you want (size, style, qty) and the email address/name the donation will come through as. I'll list the shirts people are getting in this post as they come in so everyone can confirm I've got it right. Shirts are only available to attendees.
The deadline for ordering the shirts is the end of the month, Friday 7/31 at
noon.

Natural & Royal Blue Print (all sizes)
- $37.50 for

UPDATE 6/16/15: Ok time to get this thread whipped into shape.
1) Let's start with parking, we're going to do the same thing we did last year, it adds some walking but makes things less complicated overall. Read
this post and
this post from last year and you'll have all the details.
2) I plan to have the same semi-live photo gallery updates as last year, they will be here:
http://bbq.dr_fish.speedymail.org/2015/3) Our normal sequence of events will be in place too:
Friday Evening - Pre-Party 8/14Anyone that gets into town early and wants to hang out at the cottage and eat some pizza/sushi is welcome!
Saturday Early Afternoon - Main Event 8/15You know the drill, show up between 11:00 and 1:00 and be ready to feast around 2:00.
Saturday Night - TR After Dark 8/15FIRE is the one word to describe this part of the BBQ. We'll be sitting around one on the ground and shooting various kinds into the air.
Sunday Morning - Lakeside Breakfast 8/16Anyone still in the area is invited to come back to the cottage and enjoy an informal breakfast and help put the finishing touches on the cleanup process.
