Hey Guys

Well that time is fast approaching once again!!! This year it will be Saturday April 13th, 2013. I will be renting out the clubhouse again as I did the last few years which can house around 200 people. This year I will try to setup some known good electrical outlets beforehand, vice finding out after we setup a bunch of amps!! LOL. For any that are interested, just drop a line here. I will send out a few personal invites to the local builders again....over the years we had quite a list!! Ron Thorn flew in, Jack Briggs, Ossie and Greg from 3 Monkeys Amps, Stike from Rowyco Custom paint and a few others I cant remember off the top of my head...the entire Maryland contingent made the trek, we had my buddy Dave drive down all the way from New Hampshire!! We have had some truly a GREAT times and and it seems to get bigger and better every single year!

We like to say its about the guitars, but honestly its more about meeting up, having a few beers, having some good BBQ, and just kicking off the summer with a handful of mojo!! Anyone is welcome to join in....if anyone needs ANY HELP I am more than happy to do all I can!!

Few years of group photos

For those not familiar, I live within 5 minutes of RDU airport anf htere are probably 10 - 15 hotels all within 5 miles of the house that are less than 75 bucks a night. We will usually have a get together at my house on friday night with some of the regulars that come every year and hang out drinking while I cook 100 lbs of pork for 24 hours on a BGE and a competition pellet smoker. On Saturday around 11 am or so people all just start rolling in and the get together is usually over around 6-7 pm and we hit one of the local establishments up that has a live band that day. I will try to keep an active roll call of who all is coming so we know about how much food to make and just roll with it.

I will definitely drive up from Charlotte again this year... funny, I was just thinking about last years BBQ over the past week. Thinking, hey... shouldn't Bill be posting something about this year soon.
 
Lol. My wife said the same thing...we almost skipped it as its been an ugly year but figure screw it, at least we can do this!!!
 
After seeing your pics in the BBQ thread, I might have to make the drive down. :)

Hey Shawn, next time you are around Paul ask him about the BBQ at the roadshow he was at when Fatsound hosted it. I brought 30 lbs of it and it disappeared so fast that all he got was the smell of it. Lolol. I am pretty sure that Grissom got some but Paul missed out cuz he hesitated...he came up to me and have me his card and we had a conversation about the proper way to BBQ. Lolol. I don't do Carolina BBQ, it's all dry rubs cuz I hate the taste of vinegar that they put in southern sauces...

I know that one of the guys last year stayed less than 3 miles from my house for under 60 bucks...cant remember which one it was. If you search for hotels near RDU airport, pretty much ANY of them listed that are in Morrisville are less than 5 minutes from my house. Also, if anyone flies in and needs a ride, I am more than happy to be your taxi for the day.
