Ok, so I'm floating this idea a week in advance, and yeah, you read that right:

MPLSBFSSFGMUBBQ

Obviously, a lot of us live here (minneapolis) or will be traveling here for next weekend. There's tons to do Friday and Saturday, but I was considering a BBQ/ride the evening before (it may give any out-of-towners a heads-up on neighborhoods/streets/etc). While I've got a house I dont think it'd work as a venue for the BBQ - mostly as I've got no back yard.

So, I'm putting the call out to gauge the interest in this and see if anyone's got a better venue (house with grill) than I... your thoughts?

---also because there's been alot of planning done by the hometown crew (including SuperRookie) and it's time to put something back myself---

I'd say Grumpy's Thursday night. It's easier than someone trying to host something, there's food options galore and I hear they have the beer on tap!

I'm down for it. Let me know either way. Wait a minute, where is Grumpy's again? I don't drink but I'd love to hang out/go riding. PM me.......

Downtown Grumpy's? I think the t-rock would be a better choice, especially if Pink Pigtails is working.

Say 6pm @ the t-rock?

T-rock is cool by me. 6pm. Thursday. PM me if anything changes.

Knob Creek is pretty good, but for some reason it's the Jameson I keep coming back to...

Put it in a jar with some water, put in a black chain, shake it for 10-15min, and you have a shiny silver chain...

Already started on the pee bee arr for the night... Of course I'm debating if I want to really get into cleaning up the bikes now that I'm sitting at home all nice and comfy...

Out of curiousity - are the $2 PBRs tomorrow tap or tall boys? I'm assuming tap, not that it really matters...
