A few might show up. With all the rest of the planning, I neglected this part and I'm just a little bummed that there's not more photographic evidence of it.

Thanks again to Begin By Gathering Supplies and Plan B. Both bands sounded great and people really enjoyed what you were playing. Also, the Blue Line Riders were great.
I'm sure it was strange not knowing what to expect from a stage set up in some dude's backyard for a pig roast, so thanks again for taking the chance. I hope you had as good of a time as I did. You helped make it a fantastic event.
Thanks also to everyone who showed up from the forum. I hope you enjoyed yourselves and please know that I appreciate your support.

The money total is not yet in, but based on what I had in my pocket alone, it will be in the thousands again.

The stats:

230 lbs of pork
7 kegs of beer
8 tins of Baked beans
20 lbs of tater tots
4 tins of cole slaw
20 dozen ears of sweet Illinois corn
3 bands
1 reggae DJ
0 fights
1 muslim in a suit

Thanks,

Bob

Goddamn, y'all. That's a pig pickin'.

Saaaaaaaaaa-lut.

(Now there's an unexpected hybrid- PRF board faux-Italian, meet "Hee-Haw.")

Wish I could have been there.

Wait, no fights? What kind of party is that?

And just so y'all know, because sometimes the crowds weren't visible to you in Bob's yard, the talk 'round the kegs was that the music being played was really great.

It was a lovely time. It can't be said any better than:

There was almost a fight. One of the members of Plan B, in a Keith Richardesqe drunken stupor, accidently, I can only assume, hit some guy sitting next to him. This guy then went on a 5 minute rant bout how lucky said drunk guy was, because if said drunk guy wasn't so drunk he'd (guy that was hit) would have kicked his ass.

Also, in honor of Eid Kerble's mom wasn't porked once last night.

Jah Scoop took me aside at one point and told me he really liked what we were doing, that was more than enough for me
That Jah Scoop is one seriously cool motherfucker in every regard

We had a wonderful time. Simply wonderful. Thank you, Bob, Kim, and all of our old and new friends.

Dan's here right now, (the said drunk guy). We've started drinking again: 30 pack of the champagne of beers, and a bum-proof bottle of Early Times. Go Bears.

Bob, Dan thinks he might have dropped his house keys in yr neighbor's yard. If you happen to come across them it would be swell if you can hang on to them.

Again, much thanks!

XOXO

Indeed. He gave me the hookup with the wraps.

Is there a flash light on them?

Yup! Awesome. If you can keep them safely for a day, (we're a bit incapacitated), Dan would appreciate it.
