How can there be a Captain without a Spock? But… Do you feel comfortable being called Mister?
Regarding the nanner pudding judging: I just talked to some of the nurses in the ER, and they suggest the following: Number each entry on the front of an ordinary aluminum thingie filled with the pudding (so they all look alike) and let everyone partake of each sample and then drop a “ballot” into a box, and at the end count and see what number got the most votes and piss on a gopher, there’s your winner!
Yesterday was a beautiful day so hubby and I rode the Harley out to Red Top Mountain State Park. I checked out the picnic shelter. It was being used so I couldn’t get real close (I didn’t want the picnicers to think I was some kinda crazy person trying to crash their get-together.) It has 4 picnic tables and 2 grills (side by side). So we probably won’t need to bring a big honkin’ grill. I think each grill will take a 10 lb. bag of charcoal. Quasi, BE SURE TO BRING a couple of HEAVY DUTY wire grill brushes to scrape the grates once we get them good and hot.
NinetyWt, the next exit north on 75 (Cartersville) is only a couple of miles, and hubby says there’s a Kroger and a liquor store (if anyone is interested!, but, of course, the liquor store won’t be open on Sunday) just a couple of miles west once you exit. So we won’t have to travel far to get stuff. Do you know which cabin you’ll be in yet?
Quasi, I think your idea for the “blind” nanner puddin’ judging is great! That way we all get to vote. Once we know how many entries there’ll be, someone needs to bring the “containers” to put the entries in, and stick-on labels to identify them (torie can be the one to check in the entries–write the persons name down and which number she assigns to their submission.) I slready have one idea for acknowledging the winner, but I’m keeping that a secret for now.
p.s. I hope the guy with the boiled peanut cart that’s on my way there will be set up in his usual place that day-think positive peanut thoughts!
earthpuppy! Gotcha. I will be sure to bring plenty of charcoal and the brushes as well. I can also bring the aluminum containers for the nanner puddin’ judging if y’all want!
Are we gonna have ourselves a LARGE time or what???
Somebody please bring Atlanta Rhythm Section’s Greatest Hits, Some Lynyrd and some B-52’s! Charlie Daniels and Hank Jr. wouldn’t be bad either!
Unfortunately, hubby probably won’t be joining us. His band is playing up in Gainesville that weekend. He might venture up to Red Top Mt. later on Sunday afternoon if his curiosity about all these SDMB folks I’ve been talking about gets the better of him! We’ll see…but you can count on me for as much of the frolicking as I can stand that weekend!
Sure we could. I have a great big stock pot…I’ve just never done it myself. Does your cabin have a stove? If someone has one of those propane cookers like you use to do a low country boil, we can do it right outside.
Late checkin here. I will be able to make the Fest with my kids in tow. Will there be any kids around 10 for my daughter to socialize with or should I let her bring a friend?
I can bring some B-52’s (Party Mix) and other assorted cds and a boombox.
Cool. I do that anyway. But if I want to pay attention to people, I should probably leave the dog at home.

We took Sasha swimming for the first time up at Red Top Mtn. She was just a few months old, and I was wading out into the lake up to my butt, calling her to me.
She never looked back. She always loved the water.
