NY RibFest. Any takers?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Now that some semblance of warm weather has come to the Southeastern quadrant of the Empire State, it occurs to me that the NYC-area Dopers should converge on Casa Dave-Guy and eat ribs slathered with my homemade Jack Daniels barbecue sauce and grilled outside on the trusty Weber.

This is all preliminary, but we thought a Sunday in June might work.

Any interest out there?

PS. Dopers living outside the NYC-area are welcome, too, of course, but you need to find your own overnight accommodations, as Casa Dave-Guy is barely large enough for the Family Dave-Guy.

Donday esta el bar-ri-o de bur-de-les-

Oh, um, lo see-ehn-to.

Donde esta el casa Dave-guy? Near a Metro-north station?

No, near New Jersey, actually. The lovely suburbs of Rockland County. I will have to check to see if buses run out of PABT on Sundays. If they do, that’s actually quite good, as you can have them stop just a short walk from my house.

4

I WANNA COME, TOO! I WANT RIBS!!

I think I can swing accomodation. I know some people in the area. Now, if i can just get the heck offa this rock…

5

Go here and check out either the 11A or 11C schedule, depending on whether you’d be leaving from the 42nd Street Bus Terminal or the GWB. Buses run on Sundays. It can be done, people.

6

No.

I hate you. :smiley:

7

Persephone’s hatred notwithstanding, let’s make this a reality, folks. Ribs, beer, music, jocularity, beer, potato salad, and beer.

C’mon, it’ll be worth it!

8

Depending on how the job search goes, I may be in. I’d have to let you know more definately when the date gets closer.

Mmmmmm, ribs.

9

Dave, given two-months’ notice, it might be considered a forgone conclusion the Heap family will be in attendance.
But only if Persephone isn’t there.

:smiley:

I am leaning strongly to a Yes, but things usually crop up at the last minute if I say yes, so I’m saying yes exactyly more like yep

11

We’re certainly going to try. I know Verrain has been jonsing for your ribs for awhile. And there are few hosts better than you and Mrs. Dave-Guy. It will depend partly on the weekend you choose (we may be at Rich’s parents’ celebrating his birthday) and partly on the job/money situation. We’ll keep you posted.

12

I guess it’s too early to start a list of definites and maybes and no way Joses, but I’ll keep this on the back burner.

I think it should happen, but then, if it doesn’t, I can always make ribs and eat 'em all myself.

And Gorgon Heap, even if a RibFest doesn’t happen, you and Acrylic Vessel and the Heaplette should come down and eat ribs and drink beer and listen to music anyway. Well, no beer for the Heaplette. She’s only an infant. You know the way.

13

A good point, Dave. My Sundays in June should all be good, and I mentioned this event to A_V this evening and she is really looking foreward to it.

It’s been too long as it is, we can’t wait to see you guys again.

14

I still hate you, Dave. And now I hate **Gorgon Heap, ** too.

But I still like Acrylic Vessel! Tell her I said hi! :smiley:

15

DaveGuy, could I persuade you to make your shindig on the last Sunday in June? I’ll be done with school by then and free as a bird. However, I am a vegetarian and don’t eat ribs, but I can bring some stuff for myself. Keep us posted on this.

16

So a vegetarian is going to call the shots for a BBQ rib cookout.

… I really can’t even think of anything appropriate to say.

17

All are welcome, even vegetarians. The date isn’t set yet, and we’ll have to see what the responses are concerning other Dopers’ availability.

Oh, and tell A_V that there will probably be chocolate chip cookies in the offing.

As if you guys needed any more enticement. :smiley:

18

I’m bumping this. Folks, I’m making ribs this spring and summer, and unless you want me and the Heaps eatin’ 'em all ourselves, we gotta get a plan going.

19

BWA-HA-HAAAAA!

[sub]He’s right, you know.[/sub]

Gorgon, I know you. You’re just going for the beer. :wink:

Like I said, Dave, pick a weekend, and I’ll let you know if we can make it. There’s really only one weekend that should be out for us.
