Pittsburgh, PA Annual Picnic Planning Thread RSVP PLEASE

Hiya folks. Its time to work out the details for the annual picnic.


EDIT: Sat. Aug 23 Ross Rec pavilion. Starts at Noon. Bring some type of food. RSVP in this thread (so Tradmic doesn't have a nervous breakdown)

 

I thought it was cool to have this at Ross Rec this year?

Sat. Aug 23 Ross Rec pavilion.

We'd have a concession house avail to us with a full stove, frig, etc. There is a baseball field beside it and a really nice playground.

and oh yeah...FREE!

 

That sounds like a great plan. Is the Aug 23rd date set in stone?

Ron

 

okay, Aug. 23 it is.


Now we just need folks to announce what they are bringing, food wise.


I will bring some sort of side dish type thing. Whatever looks good in the Giant Eagle Deli that day.
Also, I still have paper plates and plastic ware left over from last year, so I will bring those also.

 

Are we still inviting other fan groups?

 

Yes, I think that would be a good idea. I'll get right on that.

I was thinking of asking any other group that's coming to bring a dish/desert representing their fandom.

 

Hi everyone! I'm Cate from the Browncoats group. Thanks for extending the invitation to us - I can't speak for everyone, but I'd love to join you all at the picnic. Was going to ask what to bring, but this...

...sounds awesome.

 

I'll have to get Jim on that. He's our resident Trek dish cook/desert maker.

Ron

 

No Klingon dishes, please.

 

I believe i shall be there!

 

You mean you don't like Klingon Gagh? But it goes with everything.

Mmmm, Gahk. Just like Mom used to make.


Before I chucked her out the airlock...

 

so, do you serve Gagh with a white or red wine? are there varieties like chicken or shrimp Gagh?

 

I might try to make that blue stuff that Aunt Beru was serving right before Luke stormed off and discovered that R2 was gone. It looked like a blue milkshake, but i like the idea of a blue mudslide.

 

mmm, that does sound good.

 

I'll be there. I'll see if anyone from the LOTR group is interested.

 

I hope we have a good turnout for this. If so we should encourage fandom groups in other cities to do the same in 2009!

 

Well, I know the Trek group can't make it because they are going camping that same weekend.

So who is planning on being in attendance?

We will prob bring Burger King food again, and there is already one grill at this pavillion, though I think it's pretty small.

 

That is correct. I didn't know that you already had the info. I was waiting to tell you till I knew for a fact that the camping trip was set in stone. It would have been fun to get us all together again.

Ron

 

Ah! I may be up in Erie by then, but if i can get a doggie sitter I will come down!

 

w00t! Hope you can make it.

 

Don't forget, this is 'covered dish.' Bring a snack type food or a side dish or dessert or beverage (non-alcoholic). The King is providing the burgers and chicken. Picnic starts around noon and goes until whenever.

 

I was thinking of bringing my 5 year old cousin/padawan. is anyone else bringing a youngling?

 

I'm bringing my teenager. Gonna make him wear the silly padawan braid too.

Definitely bring him! We have lots of silly string, there's a really nice field and playground too!

 

UP! RSVP's of who thinks theyre coming!
