The official RibFest 2004 Thread

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

The day is Saturday, June 26, with brunch for the hangers-on Sunday, June 27.

The place is the swelling grandeur of Casa Dave-Guy, located in the idyllic suburbs of New York City.

The menu is baby back ribs, slow cooked and smoked on my excellent charcoal-fueled grill. We’re talking four-to-six hours of gentle heat and flavorful smoke, creating sumptuous, fall-off-the-bone ribs, flavored with my homemade Jack Daniels barbecue sauce (which, as the cognoscenti will tell you, is to die for). That, and whatever side dishes people sign up for. Plus soft drinks and beer enough to float a regatta.

The cost is to be determined. I won’t be relying on my Rib Pimp from last year, and I know prices will be rising as summer approaches. But I’m thinking no more than ten bucks per adult. But we’ll see.

The guests … well, that’s up to you folks. Sign up here and let me know what you’re willing to bring. (But please, fairly small portions. We had way too much left over last year.) If you’re going to be in the NYC area that weekend, come on by. There are reasonable overnight accommodations, not far from the Garden State Parkway and the New York Thruway.

Last year was a blast. We all had so much fun, so if you were at the first RibFest, y’all come back. And if you weren’t, here’s your chance to par-tay at Casa Dave-Guy and enjoy some scrumptious food.

Who’s in?

Naturally we will be there, so I can widdle on you because I dislike you so much.

We’re now up in the air. Airman’s status is a bit dicey right now, and I hesitate to make long-range plans, especially those plans which may involve my driving in New York State. [sub]But we don’t talk about that little unpaid speeding ticket.[/sub]

Dany’s hyped!

Can I bring a keg of O’Doul’s?

5

As long as you bring a keg or two of real beer, yeah.

6

You know I’m there.

7

Don’t worry, Biggirl! I’ll drink your de-alcoholized neeeer-beer with you.

8

I’m definitely in.

9

You said that last time. :smiley:

10

There’s no way I’d miss it! And I think Mrs. Teasdale is persuadable too.

11

This could be a possibility for me. How far north and west of the city are you?

12

As I said earlier today, I will be there unless some unexpected problem arises.

13

Green Bay, Wisconsin.

No, seriously, I live in Pearl River, which is in Rockland County, a mere 30 minutes from the George Washington Bridge.

Very easy to access from the Thruway, too. Saratoga Springs isn’t that far away…

14

If I can get a ride from someone who’s coming in from either Long Island or Manhattan, I’m there. Any volunteers? I’ll come up with the best directions that I can.

FYI: I can travel to any point on the Long Island Railroad Babylon line, up to & including Penn; I can also then cab it to someone’s place from Penn. Only thing I cannot do is, apparently, get off in Brooklyn, as there don’t seem to be elevators at the Flatbush or Nostrand Ave. stations.
I’ll also look into some kinda train transportation thingy, if I can get there from NYC by train.

15

P.S., They now have an elevator from the LIRR to the street at Flatbush. It works. . . sometimes. Construction closes it down all the time.

16

Bump.

17

Sometimes I stutter. :slight_smile:

Will a canoe suffice or should I bring a power boat to get to your house?

18

Well, before it was Pearl River, it was Muddy Creek, so you’re better off with a car.

19

DaveWoo’s been offline due to some computer issues, so I thought I’d bump this up for him.

C’mon, folks, let’s get crackin’ on this!

I’m very pleased to have the folks who have already signed up, but we could easily accommodate more.

If you’re not on the list, the Rib Nazi will sneer at you if you show up.

“No ribs for you!”
