Hey MA members, let's find a way to meetup again this fall. September is a great Month for grilling, and I'm open to suggestions as to location and dates. Saturday, September 21st is the official start in Germany, and that's as good a placeholder as any. There are a bunch of new members in the area, and we have not seen some of the original members for years. Help me pass the word! Suggest a cool central venue!
@Peaspurple @Firemunkee @mike.stavlund @OoPEZoO @teerhardy @acreative007 @wyd @dwnthehatch
@Tim in PA @bman @weber MD and all the screen names I can't remember.
Oktober works for me too.
Marty
I might be able to come if it isn't too far. I'm in northern Virginia.

Count me in!!
I was so excited about this I didn't even check my calendar. My wife is working that day so I have to watch the kids. They are 3 and <1 so it is no walk in the park. Depending on where the meetup takes place I may be able to make it.

I used to hang out with a guy that called that babysitting...
Dont call watching your own kids babysitting, the moms DO NOT like that one lol.
The 21st is not locked in, How do the following couple weekends look for you
@Firemunkee
@56MPG my wife is working every weekend after that all the way through October. The only exception is Oct 12, where I'm free until dinner time.
For some reason, I did not get notification of this post even though I'm tagged. I'll be at Disney with the Family 9/14-9/21. Hopefully I can finally make a meet.
OK how does Saturday October 12th look for everyone? Let's make this happen!

Nice pair of chimneys
Chimneys? I don't see any chimneys.
Love that photo and spied a that picture hanging in the back at the wall. Some founders and good old times meanwhile!

In addition to what everyone else spotted there is also a WKC logo on the apron on the right. Bravo, Marty

I wouldn't mind warming up by those chimneys either! Lol. Very good edit.
OK - we have a date! October 19th in the Alexandria, VA area. A new member is hosting this year, so let's make it special. Much more to come as details tighten up, but go ahead and lock in the date. You have 60 days to clear your calendar! Quote this post and add your name if you are planning to attend.

I appreciate the invitation, especially since I have been absent from the site for quite a while. With that said, I will not be able to attend.
Who's the mystery member? What can I expect if I attend? Having never been to one just curious of the time commitment.
Put me down as a tentative yes

These are not formal organized affairs, just a small group of like-minded Weber fans cooking with friends. Bring something to cook, something to cook on, something to share. This ain't your Chicago-type Meetup with vast collections of pristine kettles to perv, or a giant swap meet, or celebrity appearances, or fly-over videos. More like any other Saturday when we cook something good to eat, but we're doing it together. You can come and go as you like - no commitment to anything in particular.
Once our host jumps in he will provide some details as to when and where.

I am a tentative yes, with my two little ones, depending on the time of day. I probably won't be able to stay very long though.
Also there will be a little bit of swapping going on because the host is supposed to be buying my brownie 😋

I have a bunch of kid activities packed right around noon, so I'll either come earlier or later, depending on the time frames the host comes up with. I may bring a family member or two as well. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!
This is Rabon. Hosting the meet up at my new residence with a more than adequate yard (unless way more individuals are showing up). I can answer any questions or take suggestions. Feel free to reach out.
Hope to be there!

@rabon88red you are the man! Your first post and hosting a meetup is a double gold star in my book. Welcome to the club, and I'm looking forward to the meetup!
Marty
@rabon88red welcome to the club, having a meetup is one of the most enjoyable things we do here in my opinion, thanks for joining and hosting. Trying to figure out a way up to make the meetup and visit my granddaughter in Manassas as well
@rabon88red Thank you for hosting

@rabon88red Glad to see you on the forum, Rabon! Thanks for hosting. I got that brownie with your name on it!
@JEBIV it would be epic if you are able to make it!

Sounds like a nice gathering but I can't drive that far.
The Chicago-type Meetup seems like the place to be when is that one or when is the next one?
I'm a maybe. Trying to find someone to watch my little ones. They are too young to trust around hot grills...
@Peaspurple did you see this?
Bring em! I'll be bringing mine, 3 and 1. My 3yo knows not to touch grills. I won't be letting go of my 1yo lol since I'll be flying solo that day I most likely won't stay for very long though.

I can't promise as we are in the thick of high school and club hockey at that time. I'll look at the schedule to see if I can squeeze it in anyhow!!
Back in town and looking forward to Saturday. House is open 8am till after dark. There should be everything you will need (kitchen, bathroom, power). If parking gets crowded there will be available parking close by on the street. Drinks are allowed. If anyone is driving far or not able to leave the night of, there is plenty of room in the finished basement if you have to crash. Or plenty of tent space in the backyard. I'll be available all day. Any questions or concerns reach out to me by message or phone. 678-622-4613.

Sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun.
Sadly due to schedule changes for a family trip
I'll be unable to attend.
Lotsa pictures guys, please.

Sorry, I can't make this one. Both daughters have dance competitions. Believe me, I would much rather be surrounded by smoke. Have a great time everyone.
I will be there around 6:30pm or so with my 3yo and 1yo. I probably will only be able to stay an hour or so before having to head home to get them ready for bed. Thanks for opening up your home Rabon!

Hate to say I'm a No-Go for tomorrow. Really, I hate to say that! My job heated up this week and I ended up in Dallas for some research tonight. Won't get on a plane back until later tomorrow. I held out as long as I could before making the call, hoping there would be a way. Not this time.
Hope you all have a good time, good food and good cheer. Whenever two or more WKCers are gathered, it's all good.
Marty
Who all is still going? Is there a time that's being targeted? As it is I feel like people are coming and going whenever during the day. I'd like to meet some members but unsure how to do so with my limited availability.

I'm here and starting a slab of slab of ribs at 12 to eat this evening. We have cornhole and other yard games. Light up the fire pit and hang out. So anyone come on this afternoon.

The weather looks good
I'm trying to plan my visit to coincide with
@Firemunkee so my girls can hopefully entertain his girls. I'll probably arrive earlier than that, though.
I have my MBH loaded up, along with
@rabon88red 's Weber banner. My marinating peri-peri chicken will be riding shotgun...
As soon as these drumsticks finish I'll be on my way. Targeting to get there around 630

Looking good fellas. Son had baseball Saturday so the afternoon/evening was spent on that. Hope to be able to make it to one of these, someday.
