Calling all fanatics - February Focus G2G!

[tangerine dream]

Hey Rabbit, I just was thinking about the list of condiments, servingware, etc., and I happened to think: Is there a Sam's Club or Costco type place near you guys? Instead of everybody transporting something, we could just go and pick this stuff up. The wife and I will be driving in Friday night and stay the weekend, so we could meet up somewhere and go get these last-minute things. That way, if anyone else wants to contribute, they can just throw a couple bucks in the hat to help with the costs. What do you think?

[V8FociDreams]

Still want to go, so put me in as a provisional. Have some personal things going on but may be able to make it.

Do I need to bring anything?

[tangerine dream]

Well so far no one has offered to bring Potato salad, so you could bring that if you wanted.

As I look back over the lists, I realize I forgot about the drinks! I know that beer has been mentioned numerous times, but for those of us that won't be having any, what type of drinks would you guys like? I'm assuming we'll go with some kind of soft drinks, but is there anything anyone doesn't like or can't drink? For example, my wife can't have Pepsi because she's allergic to it. Anyone have any problems like that? If you would like to bring some kind of drink let me know and I'll make a list so we know we've got that covered.

[TargetRabbit]

Yeah there is a Sams here. When you get ready to come down I will give you my number to get up with me.

[tangerine dream]

Cool. I figure we could pick up most of the stuff there and that would keep anyone from having to bring it with them, especially the burgers and dogs. We still need to figure out what everyone likes to drink, so people can sign up to bring some drinks. Any preferences?

[TargetRabbit]

i drink them all... so Im not the picky one... come on guys we need some input here

[tangerine dream]

OK people, we've reached the official One week countdown!!

We're almost there, but we've still got some things left to do. Anyone else who is a definite, please make sure to respond so I can put you on the list. This is what we'll use to decide how much food to have on hand. We'll have some extra for the potential drop-ins, and we may have to make some store runs, but we want to see if we can keep it to a minimum.

So far, no one has commited to bring drinks. If anyone would like to bring some 2-liters or beer (whichever you would prefer) please respond. Also, let us know if there's any drinks you would prefer or anything you can't have/don't like (please see previous post about this).

Something else we may need are coolers. This is not just for the drinks, we could use one for all the food. It will make it an easier clean-up afterwards. If you have a cooler you can bring, please respond so we can make sure we've got all that covered.


** A small note on the weather: **
Checking out the weather channel, it looks like there might be a good chance of it raining that weekend. That being said, we'll see how much it affects the shelter in the park. If it becomes too much of a problem, we'll head over to Rabbit's place. However, if it's not a strong rain and the shelter is big enough, we may just tough it out. We'll have to wait and see. Just to let you all know that we do have a rain plan.


Let's all keep focused (no pun intended) and try to make this G2G the best we can. I don't know about you guys, but I'm really looking forward to getting together with my Focus bretheren and finally seeing some life in NC. Let's have this be the start of a fun year for Foci in NC

[TargetRabbit]
