IH Grillin' & Schwillin' 2012 (PA) JULY 27-29

[Jestre]

This week I decided to start work on some horseshoe pits.

[Giles]

Getting jealous…..

[Seul]

Same 

[rocket]

yep….

[thomasnunnally]

awesome…still have to figure out if I can make it!

[MikeC]

I'm not jealous, I'll be there very soon. Where are your IH shorts Jestre?

[Jestre]

Waiting on my bills to get paid, like every other piece of gear I want. 

[MikeC]

I hear ya.

[Jestre]

Its far from perfect. . . but I finished one of the pits this morning.

Getting very excited for this! Great work J. I know I will be tossing some shoes all weekend. See you maniacs soon!

[Jestre]

Booze that will be on hand (with a definite chance of being 'short' here & there from my usual drinking) –

Miller Lite 10oz poppers x 1 case
Yuengling Premium x 2 case
Avery Brewing Co. White Rascal x 1 case
21st Amendment Brewing Co. IPA x 1 case
Ketel One vodka x 1 bottle
McClelland scotch x 1 bottle

Nothing too special but a good variety of the cheap stuff, the not-so-cheap stuff, & the liquor.

The horseshoe pits are totally complete (got some very nice old-school Made in Duluth, USA shoes from ebay in the mail today).  I have about half the food already, picking up the rest at the end of the week.  Just have to do some general cleaning/maintenance/etc this week and we're all set.

There may not be an abundance of us in attendance. . . but we are going to have a great fucking weekend!  (plus, the weather looks like it will be cooperating with us)

Jestre, hats off to you sir!

Question: Is anyone planning on bringing gear to buy/ sell/ or trade? Was thinking I may bring a few things if others were. Also, if someone wanted to check their sizing on a item I have personally, let me know and I will bring it for you to try out/ gauge sizing.

Also, I own zero camping gear including sleeping bag. Anyone got any extra anything? I got you covered on food, booze, etc. all weekend if so. PM me.

[Jestre]

Hey Lando.. my buddy Sam that is joining us this weekend said he has a tent you can use.  And I'm almost positive I have an extra sleeping bag here.

edit: Oops, this wasn't a PM.  ???

Solidarity! Tell Sam we will become good friends. Cheers J

EDIT: Any requests for hard to find beer or booze anyone thinks I can get in NYC, holler.

Alright. MikeC is scooping me up about 3:15ish tomorrow. I am packing my shit up tonight. If you want to see/ try on anything I own let me know before tomorrow afternoon. Getting amped!

looks about right lando. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I kinda fucked up one of my fingers at work today playing basketball with the kids.  So I'm apologizing now if some things aren't perfectly set up for the weekend but I'll be trying my best. Thankfully it isn't on my dominant hand so I can still throw horseshoes and drink with my right hand

Other than my shitty timing I can't wait to have a blast with everyone.

Not to worry. Whatever you need help moving, setting up, etc we got you!
