it went good, not everybody came who said they were comin, but it was also wicked hot which keeps ppl at home sometimes. we had some bumps and bruises but everyone went home in one peice. im thinking that i should find a different place to try and organise these lil gatherings, alot of ppl seem to think that blue vally park is in a "not so great" neighborhood. ill have to scope a bit to find a new location, preferabley in a park. fast eddie outty

It's a success if everyone went home in one piece. Yeah, I don't think I'd enjoy the heat much, but I live around Seattle, where it's currently 52 degrees and looking to rain.

Any videos or photos to share?

Nothing like a good grilled brat!

But don't forget the pics, it's even more fun when you can share the good times.
