ok Y'all, less than 2 weeks away and trying to get a head count mostly and what food you may be bringing/cooking. currently I will be doing pulled pork slaw and rolls, homemade bbq sauce, homemade peach ice cream and maybe a pound cake I think @brewtownbeatdown is doing some kind of brisket, and we will have an antipasta platter. @AZ2FL is bringing a bushel of oysters. We will be doing some giveaways via a raffle drawing and also a raffle for a NIB Target Copper $ 5.00 a ticket to raise money for the 10TH annual Chicago meetup. Please reply than everyone can copy and paste for the headcount and food. me and @jebivswife are excited and hope to see a lot of folks.

We needn't be reminded that JEBIV and JEBIV'SWIFE are the embodiment of southern hospitality, and I think I can safely speak on behalf of all that attended when I say "thank you it was friggin' awesome!"

The whole house and patio was completely decorated in Weber paraphernalia, small touches and attention to minute details that betrayed the massive amount of thought and effort that went into the gathering.  Big thank you also goes to BrewTownBeatDown and his wife for bringing down the amazing amount of Weber-flair!  Hell, even the name tags were WKC personalized. 

And the kettles, oh my, the kettles!  Rarities from all Weber eras abounded Joe's property; Weber Bros, Wood dales, a white whale custom, electric kettles, Rangers, boobies, outriders, you name it!  I counted 5 SnapOn CGA's in attendance, and at least 4 Sevilles, not to mention all the sweet sweet Woodard furniture we so luxuriously dined and lounged upon!  I learned so much from Harris92 as we strolled through all the Weber rarities and he pointed out the nuances of different ages. 

I was happy to see PlantCityMike again, even though that lucky bastard walked away with the hottest door-prize of the night, a BNIB sidekick, so ruthlessly stolen during dirty BBQ giveaway!

I finally had the good fortune of meeting prolific member ShoeStringShop and his wife who were spending their hard earned vacation in ATL.  Thank y'all for making the trip! 

And the same goes to AZ2FL who drove up from Gainesville; he and I spent quite awhile talking about the Central Florida area while he perfectly grilled up sausages.  Thanks Robert, I didn't mean to rope you into grilling, but I hope you enjoyed the CGA-experience! 

One last thank you to Joe for the extremely generous gifts including the aforementioned door prizes, special SE Meetup Zavodd44 handles, stickers and rubs. 

Count us in for next year's SE meetup and we are excited to perhaps attend the 10 year anniversary in Chicago.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210927/7ebfcbaeaef82b7f73cd0ec80977ec4d.jpg)

For a guy with almost 9000 useless posts I am at a loss for words. To the 6 members who made the commitment I thank you more than you can know @brewtownbeatdown and his wife De, @AZ2FL @Plant_City_Mike @Mr.CPHo and his wife Simi @Shoestringshop and his wife Denise @harris92  I will never be able to thank or repay Mike and De for all there help, they worked tirelessly 14 hour days Thursday and Friday helping get ready. @zavod44 for the beautiful handles and the art for the nametags, really nice rubs to give away from Mike Cameron. We raffled off a NIB Target copper to help fund Chicago 10 and had a raffle for door prize giveaways from my stash and Mike Mageski, it turned into a white elephant deal which had Charlie losing a NIB sidekick from the last drawing LOL. I sold a few items from Trader Joe's dusty treasures. Just a little thought, the members who attended logged over 5100 miles roundtrip to make this meetup WOW. And 1 more person who allowed all this to happen,@jebivswife without her commitment this would never had happened!!! More pictures are rolling in and once I get the file from the photographer I will share

@JEBIV , I wish I could have been there.  But, I was in Asheville for 3 days (anniversary trip), returned on Friday and had to spend my Saturday working as a result.  If there is a next year, I plan to make it.  I am sorry about this year tho.
