It's on like Donkey Kong!

The food from the grill tonight is as follows:

  1. Beer soaked Brats, these are done Wisconsin style, butter, red onion, and kraut. Angioplasty is a serious possibility.
  2. I will also be grilling a salad, yes I will make salad on a grill and unhealthy.
  3. What time do we want to eat? I was thinking @7ish. Let me know opinions.

Viva,

John Stephany

Wednesday Crew

Folks, first off I wanted to report that we do have visual confirmation of a tent in place. Since it took until Monday evening, there's a lot of work to be done.

Following last night's meeting, here's a few tasks for today:
1. Secure carpet for the flooring - Jeremy
2. Ensure we have a receiver for music all weekend

For Wednesday load-in:
I will be making 2 or 3 trips in to the park starting at 8am. My goal is to get everything I have in (yes, that includes my brew) and have the pass available for anyone that needs to drop items off tomorrow. Tasks for Wednesday:

1. Put down carpet
2. Put up all fencing along sides and temporary fencing in back if permanent fencing is not up
3. String lights and speaker wire throughout the tent
4. Mount speakers in tent corners
5. Unpack and get items organized
6. Ensure electricity is running and get the cooler operational
7. Obtain initial kegs and ice so Wednesday guests have cold beer
8. Get food into cooler
9. Get all supplies onsite

We could probably use some basic tools and a hammer for the fence posts.

If you need the load-in pass, please call me and we can arrange to swap it out. Look forward to seeing the crew for tomorrow.
