Title: Mid Atlantic OktoWeberfest 2019
Post by: 56MPG on August 08, 2019, 01:00:34 AM
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 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.

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.

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!!!

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?

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.

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.
