    Looking to get some boneless skin less chicken thighs when I arrive in the area. Maybe 10 plus pounds. Anyone have advise for a location to get good quality. Traveling from up north.

    If the *only* thing you end up cooking are those breakfast sammiches, brother, you will have done your duty.  

    Don't know if anyone is planning on bringing a griddle yet.  We'll ask around.

    Ok. Tri tips will be on Friday night. Sliced, they make good finger food.  Any and all is welcome to stop by or we can migrate wherever.

    Not ideal, but worse comes to worse, I can bring mine.

    I can bring a griddle, if we can talk Jason into cooking breakfast.

    Look up Shuler Meats in Thomasville,  right off business 85. They're on Facebook and post their ad. They have good general meats. Nothing prime grade at all.

    @theyolksonyou will have the BS. 

    @Jeremiah the pland is to have a gathering Friday.

    Last year everyone stood around and watched some hacks try to put a tent up. 

    I'm planning to cook up something that night. Maybe some cheesy potatoes for side and not figured the meat I'll cook. 

    Thinking of gathering around the cabins, possibly.  Appears they are all filled with Butt Blasters. Our site is just around the corner.

    Check for Whole Foods or Fresh Market in Greensboro/Winston Salem or Charlotte on your way. They'll have air chilled chicken.

    Sounds great man!  We don't have any firm plans - I think like last year we'll probably all gather around one of the sites (look for @bgebrent duct taped to a tree and screaming) and hang out, partake in some adult beverages, etc.  
    You said you were going to gag him so the duct taping wouldn't draw attention to us. I don't know if I can trust you anymore, John.

    Great!  I'll bring a cooler, but need to find someone to bring some $$$ to as reparations for showing up empty-handed on the food front. 

    Also, @yukonron what's your bourbon of choice.  I'll help restock you, because I plan on depleting your slushy stash.

    If you wish to contribute,that's mighty fine of you.  It's also not necessary for you to join us.  You'll have no problem finding Matt, John or Gary.  They are the three hooligans who started all this.  See ya there.

    I am not sure that "party" completely covers the range of activities that will commence after the "official" event is over.  

    It is closer to a "bacchanal".  You've been warned.

    No need to do so, but thank you for the kind gesture. I have more than I can drink stashed away right now. Just have fun and be safe.
    Looking forward to seeing you at the NCBB.

    He fell and injured his suspensory ligament. He just needs to lay off the third leg for a while.
