Richmond,VA Announcement - 3rd Annual Commonwealth Cantina Cookout in August

Hey, now that i am finding time to respond to all of this I can say I'll be able to make it Saturday as well, Plus 1 cause I will try to get my friend Eric to some with me as well if i can. Donno what dish I can bring yet but i'll keep you posted as soon as i figure out what it is and figure out what clever name I can give it.

On another note I am the KING of SW themed board Games... like seriosly.. i have them all... more importantly I have Oridinal Trilogy trivial pursuit and DVD Saga Edition TP as well. Plus anything else you can think of (Rick, Stratigo, Talking SW Battle Ships, about 3 or 4 different kinds of monopoly, ect) most of those games are to slow for a cookout but i figured the trivial pursuit would be pretty entertaining.. just let me know if thats cool (someone may have already said something about it I didn't read this entire thread)

 

great to hear you are coming.....by all means, bring the Trivial Pusuit for the OT and the DVD saga
Dont worry about the other ones....I will have a game set up as well that should prove interesting.

see you + 1(Eric) there as well as your soon to be announced dish

 

Do we have times for this event yet? Jean has to work but she is willing to try to make it for some of the fun.

And we have a prize to donate for the games.

 

Wonderful... I have a couple of things as well

I had mentioned it in an earlier thread, but it wasnt a definite

The party will commence at the Webne Residence between 2 & 2:30pm on Saturday August 9th and will go until whenever.
We will have a few games, plus we have a huge payroom for the kids to play in.
There is also a deck and we will have a huge tent outside to eat under and enjoy the shade from the heat.

My address is 9616 Southmill Drive, Glen Allen, VA 23060
phone: 364-4922

There is a payroom? Awesome, I will bring my money bags!

 

Yes Joe there is....we Paid a lot for it....but for the kids its a PLAYROOM.
are you are more than welcome to bring your money bags as long as you are making a donation.

No withdrawls here....

 

I'm thinking Danny & I will be finished with the Clone Wars troop and be back down in the area by 2pm. So I can drop him off and hangout for a bit before I have to scoot to a family related BDay party. Unfortunately, we wont have any food to bring but I would like to mooch a drink off somebody!

 

a couple days to go.
Here is the perspective menu:
Joel - Bantha Burgers
Joel - Taun Taun Dogs
Joel - Gungan Helper, aka Mac & Cheese
Joel - Lucious Leia Cake, aka Chocolate Eclair Cake (possibly)
Joel - Chocolate Chip cookies
Joe - Moist Jawa Entrails, aka Baked Ziti
Danny - Mynock Wings
Brandon - TBD?
John - some kind of Dessert
Eddie - Madalorian Orange salad
Tony/Aimee - TBD?
Jason - Palpatine Potato Salad

Drinks - alcoholic and non alcoholic

We could still use some different types of Salads(potato, pasta, fruit), sodas, and anything else you want to bring.

John, please bring the "prize" that you mentioned.
Jason, please bring the Trivial Pursuit

We will have SW themed activity books for the kids
See everyone on Saturday....it looks like it will be a nice day for a BBQ

 

Alright, many Bothans died to get me this, but I was able to get my hands on the recipe for Palpatine's Potato Salad for Saturday.

One day left. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

 

Thanks - must have missed it!

 

Should be a hoot!

Remember, Jean has to work - but we should be able to get there around 5pm or so.
I hope the party is still going on by then!

 

not a problem....
you guys can just bring a dessert for everyone to munch on after the initial stuff.
Look forward to seeing you all and I cant wait to see what your "prize" is for our games

 

Who's bringing games and prizes this year?

 

I am hosting our first annual "Star Wars Scene-it in Clay", which will be explained at the party. But just to get your creative juices flowing...it will be teams of 2 that will have to take a given item and will have to sculpt a given timeframe accurately in clay. And the items will span all 6 movies.

Jason said he would provide SW Trivial Pursuit

as for prizes, I have a few of them and John Mayes said he was going to bring something. But if you would like to donate to the prize pool, by all means bring it on.

 

My clan and I should be there about 3! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

 

I'll be bringing SouthWest Dantooine Dip (dont worry, it only taste like womprat) and a tray of assorted Veggies.

My wife and kids wont be able to make it so im bringing a good friend of mine who, like me, didn't know there was a Richmond Star Wars community till just now and is looking forward to being a part of the gang.


EDIT: My buddy Mike just called and he also can't make it, so it will just be me.

Thanks for having us we had a great time

 

Thanks for hosting, Joel! We had a great time! Our Vader shoulda won!!

 

Next time we will do Art pieces just for you, Joe...

 

That was a lot of fun.

The clay sculpting was quite hilarious. It just goes to show that many of us work better with ABS than we do with clay. I still can't believe that Jean and I didn't win with our rendition of the "Lilo & Stich - Crumb".

Thanks for letting us in to your home Joel, and it was great to see everyone.
I hope to see you all (and more of you too) at the Clone Wars movie release!

 

Definetly a good time! Thanks for hosting, Joel! Can't wait until next year's cookout (whoever is hosting).

The Scene it in Clay was a great idea. Loved Danny and Prescott's space slug!
