South East The Dew Drop Inn

Welcome to the SouthEast Regional Discussion forum's chat thread. This is a place for all the chapters to drop in and say "howdy".

We're serving up some freshly brewed sweet tea, homebaked biscuits and gravy, fried apples, fried chicken [tastes like Gungan!] and some peach cobbler.

Let's kick back, relax and have a good ole time!

 

Howdy!

(looks around) Seems cozy, all right. Mmmm.... tea.....

Well, since DragonCon's right around the corner, I suppose there's a good chance that some of you/us will be there. The Chattanooga Chapter (Chattooine) had a fan table there a couple years ago, but decided it was a little out of our recruiting range. heh... Anyway, if anyone gets some spare time, drop by the ConNooga booth (also in the fan table area). That's where I'll be 95% of the (day)time.

Other than that, what's everyone up to?

 

I'm up to something

But not getting ready for D*Con

Getting ready to get the kiddo back to school and get back on a schedule. I *HATE* summer.

 

Thanks for letting me know about this Jada.

 

You're welcome.

Can I interest you in some tea? We just had a pool table delivered and we are thinking about setting up some darts. But you know how people get when they've had a little too much sweet tea and they start playing darts.

 

'ello folks.

Stopping by to say hey.

 

Mom always said, "don't play lawn darts in the house".

(grabs a stick) Rack 'em up and everyone duck!

Our book club is reading the novelization of the classic movies and that is a line from the book. It is very interesting to go back and read the novelization and see all the differences.

 

Ah nix to the sweet tea, thanks all the same. This former Jersey gal's still getting used to this whole flippin' sweet tea craze down here. I have a theory, Jada, as you know, about that stuff. Everyone gets all whipped up on caffeine and sugar and gets all hyper (which is what makes the darts a bit frightening!). Then after the stuff wears off, everyone's like all crashed out and they get lazy. The stuff's dangerous...JUST SAY NO TO SWEET TEA!!! LOL!

 

I'm a Yankee by birth, myself. Took me a few years to get used to the concept of sweet tea, but I got hooked.

 

TK-2970 makes some good sweet tea.

But it was Bojangles that got me hooked.

So, who is going to D*Con? I know Hama probably is.

 

Funny... I'm from Chicago myself, but I guess sugar's a universal thing.

How about a Root Beer float?

 

OMG! I love rootbeer floats! I'm addicted to rootbeer as well as sweet tea.

Do y'all have Sonics there? Our Sonics have been doing free rootbeer floats on Thursday nights. Yummy.

What's your favorite rootbeer? Mine is either A&W or Barqs.

There was a company that used to make Birch Beer, Sasparilla and Root Beer in these really cool etched brown bottles. I used to collect them. I was going to try to paint the etching to make it stand out more. Otherwise they kind of just looked like beer bottles. I used them as candle holders.

 

Orlando System checking in. Thanks for the tip, Jada.

If Republic Credits will do fine, I'll take a pool cue and a Corellian Carrot Juice... and you can leave the pitcher.

Glad to see you folks. -Campbell

 

Macon here. The CLONES will have a fair showing at D*C.

Are there any plans for a SE Region get together? or a FF get together?

 

At D*Con or another time. If it is D*Con you are thinking about I don't know. One of the things we'd like to do is getting more interaction between the chapters and hopefully lead up to a get together.

 

D*Con is probably the best chance for a big get-together for the southeast FanForces. We'll have at least 15 of our Chapter going (although not as a group) that I know of.

Oh... and A&W root beer floats are the bestest! Sonic's are great, too. Heck... I'm not particular when it comes to floats.

Pass the scoop! Floats all around!

 

Huzzah! for rootbeer floats!

I know we are planning to go to D*Con next year. Our funds have been scarce this year. And *IF* there is money I might try to make it to ConNooga . . . which I almost called ChattaCon.

 

Wow, is ConNooga a new name for "ChattaCon"? I wasn't aware it had changed names ...

IBC root beer ... YUM! Though in all honesty I like IBC Cream Soda the best. Hard to find, though.

Two scoops in my float, please !!!

 

Is there a ChattaCon?

*gives Erelannon a two scooper*

 

Chattawhat? ConNooga... that is the only convention in Chattanooga that will have what you want. Naaa.... they're still having it as far as I know.

Has anyone seen the crazy-big straws they have at Burger King? I'd hate to see what kind of spit-wads kids are shooting out of those!

 

I haven't seen them. Unless BK is giving out SW toys we don't usually go there. My daughter says their chicken strips are too spicy for her. This child will never survive my chili . . . I call it El Diablo's Outhouse

 

Yum!

 

Just got some more peppers that I added to the pepper pot too!

 

"the Pepper Pot"... Not sure why, but that made me laugh. Spicy = better!
