PAST: May 25, 2003 (Sunday) - 3rd Annual Memorial Day Picnic INDEXED

[Towncrier]

I looked into the possiblity of putting a webcam somewhere during the meet, but all of my internet service providers strictly prohibit hosting a webcam. The only one that has any allowance for webcams states that the image can only be updated once an hour. Not very interesting if you ask me.

If our digital camera is back from Fuji in time, I'll try posting some pictures in pseudo realtime. As for videotaping, I'll leave that up to someone else. I can provide the camera and tape(s), but I'm going to have my hands full cooking and DISing.

 

[Pembo]

Not sure we can make it this year! Dh is preaching at his NEW church in Amherst and my brother will be in town from California. So I don't know what time we'll be rolling back into Summit County.

If we get back early enough, I may just have to leave everyone at home and go by myself!

 

[shep]

We got room for 4 more in the van..

 

[helenabear]

Just wanted to offer for anyone who lives along the way from Columbus to John's, I should have room for at least 2 in our car. So if you don't want to drive alone, let me know

 

[Pembo]

Keep the party going all day and I'll try to make it in the evening....................

 

[Towncrier]

The past two picnics have gone past 11PM.

 

[BarryHom]

So is Barb videotaping?

Hmmm...I was wondering if we should pitch a tent in John's lawn and make it Camp Towncrier. We can sing songs around the campfire and be chased by axe murderers.

 

[dizneenut]

Pem, you better show up!! I'm not leaving John's house until y'all show up!!

 

[Barb]

If I can survive the next few weeks without losing my mind entirely, (& I remember to bring the camera) I will video tape what I can. No promises, though.

 

[EpcotKilterFan]

Hey Barry.... you are not too far off with that tent thing...

And for those of you that would like to see all the fun at last years BBQ Towncrier BBQ

[Pembo]

Pem, you better show up!! I'm not leaving John's house until y'all show up!!

Wow, poor John. He'll be driving to my house to drag me to his to get you all out of there! LOL!!!!!

 

[BarryHom]

Well, remember to take a lot of photos if you can't do video.

 

[Pembo]

I promise to bring my kids to John-Con in jeans that DON'T have holes in the knees..........


that's if we make it.............

 

[Towncrier]

A few people had asked me what they could bring to the picnic (besides themselves). I've been very bad at getting back to those who have PM'ed me and I apologize. I hate to burden folks who are coming from out-of-town with the added hassle of finding something to bring. Besides, we always have way too much food anyway. Just ask my kids.

So if I haven't gotten back to someone who wanted to bring something (and you still want to bring something), please PM me again.

I can hardly believe that the Memorial Day weekend activities start a week from today at Cedar Point. I hope to see a lot of DISers next weekend. Bring your photos, scrapbooks, pins, and anything else to share on Sunday.

See you soon.

 

[Barb]

I hope to bring a little of everything mentioned. I plan on making a dessert, bringing my pins, and my latest trip pictures. Now I have to make notes so I remember! I can't believe it's almost here!! Where does the time go!?!?!!!

 

[Towncrier]

Just back from Sam's Club with the non-perishable food items and another 6 foot table. Sue is madly working on todo lists. Next weekend will be here really soon. But not soon enough.

I don't remember if I posted this before, but I will reiterate the menu:
Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers
Beef Hot dogs (Ballpark)
Cheesy hashbrown potatoes
Soft drinks
Potato and tortilla chips
Crispix mix
Veggies
Cake and ice cream

If you have special dietary requirements (aka turkey burgers, veggie burgers, turkey hot dogs, or anything of that sort), please let me know before Friday so that we can have something for everyone to enjoy.

See you soon!!!

Firts timers here! DH and I are looking forward to meeting new friends. We plan to be there.

 

[BarryHom]

Does anyone want to volunteer to videotape this BBQ and the Cedar Point meet? I think Towncrier has a video camera.

 

[Fire14]

Kroger is donating the burger buns I'm bringging my other half

 

[Tiger Lily 03]
