    I opened the email this morning John and read the Saturday night “menu”. 

    My wife laughed and said, “that’s not a menu, that just says Brisket and Bourbon and maybe Robin is bringing a side.”

    Yup

    I think the Saturday night menu is going to be quite the feast, actually.  Some of y'all might want to hold back a little on chowing down during the day.  

    On tap for Saturday night are @YukonRon beef tenderloin sliders, and @Eggcelsior Baltimore pit beef.  Word on the street is that @caliking is also cooking something up for Saturday night.

    Dylan's pit beef is reason enough to attend.

    Please make extra tiger sauce @Eggcelsior. I may end up pounding shots of it.

    Don’t think so.  I think they’re listed for Friday night.

    Here's some highlights for what's on tap so far:

    Friday night: Roccbox pizza, beef ribs, tacos, bourbon slushies, wild game bites, and hooch. 

    Saturday day: bloody Mary's, scrapple breakfast sammies, whole hog, pizza bites, pig shots, paella, and Nana pudding

    Saturday night: SRF Brisket, beef tenderloin sliders, Baltimore pit beef, onion pakodas


    Oh, and there will be beer. There will be plenty of beer throughout.  Unofficially.  

    I hope some of y'all are bringing friends and family along, because we have plenty of food and drink queued up.

    You should have gone into professional debate.  That the leader of the free world's wife gets security is cray cray!  I totally buy it!  Thanks FIFO!

    Stuck in the office listening to speech rehearsals for tonight’s event. 

    Figured I would use that time wisely to map out my “Newbie’s Map to Buttblast”

    Let me know if I’m missing something. 

    (I was about to hit post when my business partner walked in and said, “where the hell are my Post Its!?!”)
    This is hilarious.  But Robin's wife's name is "Party", perhaps for obvious reasons.

    I think you're also missing the Turkish bath house.  I'm not sure exactly where those are located, but I've heard rumors.

    I think you have to pay extra for that map

    Party may cut loose this year as she don't have to drive my mildly intoxicated self back to the Courtyard Hotel.

    And Mrs. Robinson as well.  The taxpayers paid to babysit Moochelle's mom for eight years as well.  I guess she doesn't have any other kids.  Oh wait, yes she does.

    Nice job, no squid could ever make a map quite that good. One thing is missing, @lousupcap sponsored Four Roses tasting tent.

    Anyone going to be a DD? Haven’t got a hotel room or a place to stay Friday or Saturday night and from the sound of it alcohol will be involved.

    Don’t worry, alcohol is prohibited inside the park.  We will only be serving various juices and Ron’s slushies are only “bourbon flavored”.
