If you are going to make a meetup anywhere any time this is the one to go to, once again Brian @zavod44 is opening up his home to all of us kettle heads to cook food and purve over kettles.
The date this year is going to be July 27th. Mark your calendars, take time off work and start sweetening up SWMBO to ask permission to go.
More details to follow as they are developed.
-
we will be there
-
As of now for me 10% chance I will be there. We will see if this % increases as time goes on.
-
Count me and my bride in.
-
Not looking good for me, at the moment. I'm trying to pull some strings to make it happen.
StL GrillFellas... who's going this year? @Lowbrass @Brain_STL @Travis (come on man, you gotta get to this!!!) @db3694 @jeffrackmo @SmokeVide @SteveZ @tomtappel @nolch01

I am in the same boat, if I make it happen it would likely be a day trip from MI.
And yes Travis needs to make one of these.
-
Oh man...I think I could do this one...I'm going to try to make it work.

I'm a big maybe as a fly-in. Are there pre and post festivities, or just a one day ordeal?
-
I’m in!
-
I'm 90% out :(
Too many schedule conflicts to manage this year and the WKC Chicago event has won the last few years.
-
I’ll be there!

I'm in and @Rub, we've been doing the Schaumburg Weber restaurant on Friday evening the last 2 years. I'm sure we can get some WKC'rs there again this year.

Zavod44 - inbox is full and my message could not get through. I am also wondering about overnight parking - camping etc.

@zavod44 @Scott Zee @Shoestringshop @Kneab or anyone else in the Chi-town area... can someone address @Mongeese's questions?
-

My kiddos (9 year old & 11 year old) were with me last year... they swam in Brian's pool all day, and can't wait to come back this year. Hoping to make that happen.
-
My kids should be coming this year also. They have had a blast the last two years. They ask about going next year before we are even out of Brian's neighborhood.
As far as camping goes I am not sure what is close by around there.

I just looked up campgrounds near Brian's.
I found Paul Wolff Campground and Camp Tomo-Chi-Chi Knolls. I have not been to either of these but they are close by and may be a good place to start.

Okay there has been a slight change of plans but never fear, it's going to be as good if not better. So as you know the last few years this meetup has gotten bigger and bigger. My cousin and WKC member @No1Agent (John) has agreed to host. His yard is much, much bigger and will facilitate the grills and people much better. Sometimes we need to change a little to take it to the next level. He's got a huge space and a huge fire pit, we can take the party deep into the night. Now that being said the new location is only five minutes from here. For the the guys that have been to my house, you know my house is five minutes east of Randall Road, It will now be held five minutes west of Randall. All your hotels can be the exact same. Everyone will travel the same distance, and I'm telling you once you see this space you will agree.
I hope everyone will still attend and show John the same love you always showed me. As I said my yard was starting to get a little small and this was a decision that had to be made to make sure the meet up keeps getting better and better. I hope to see all the great people there that came here. See you in July....

Sounds good Brian. I’m worried about one thing though. Are you going to be able to get all your sweet grills over there by the end of July?

With @zavod44's amazing google doc/excel spreadsheet skills, I'm sure he's got a sweet inventory system that will make maneuvering all of the sweet grills a breeze. :o ;)

Rumor has it, that the Friday night pre-party is being changed from dinner at the Weber Restaurant, to moving Brian’s inventory. Do we wanna fill the open spots in our vehicles, or should I just bring a semi & trailer?

Probably a good idea. Van wasn’t enough last year. 26’ with liftgate this year?
I’m thinking Tami will be much happier taking her car this year[emoji23]

I'm really going to try to make it this year. Last year it fell on my wife's birthday, so that was out. This year, it's the weekend after I move into a new house. I'm sure there will be a ton to do, but maybe I can negotiate a break.
Anyone looking to do any trading or selling? I know I've got some stuff that I'll need to get off my hands. Unfortunately the new place doesn't have the room, but I may be talking the wife into a big new shed / garage in the back yard.

Damn it! I knew that date sounded familiar. My daughter turns 18 that day and we're having a party. My wife's birthday last year. My daughter's this year. I can't catch a break! Maybe next year.

I believe Joe & Tami will be booking flights now that you’re making the trip. Best way to experience the Chicago meet-up is with a LONG ride home with rattling kettles. You don’t wanna miss out on that.

I have to now choose :( , and will not be able to make this time . Sucks

I'm still up in the air as to whether I'm going to go, but I'll try stopping by for at least a while to meet everyone & maybe to bring something kind of interesting to get a whole bunch of opposite opinions on it.

Event starts around noon.

Just like last year, I'm going to miss the meet up due to a family member's Birthday (wife last year, daughter's 18th this year). I hope you all have a great time and I hope to see you all next year. Grill On!

Last minute, but I’ll be there. Not sure if the family will be tagging along yet, but I’ll definitely stop in around 2ish. I’ll bring chicken to grill up peruvian style.

Try to get a group shot of everyone if you can. I know it's hard to pull off, but it's so much fun to see who's who.
Have a great Meetup!
