:idea:

Alright guys and gals I have an idea! What would everyone think about a Labor Day weekend picnic for all of us on SoWal.com?? I know its short notice but Trey an I th0ught of it while taking a mini-vacation to South Beach to visit some old roomates of Trey's. YES, we did take Mr.Green Jeans/ Shotsy with us, as he goes EVERYWHERE, especially now!!!

What about around Grayton as we all love or live near Grayton Beach. We could all bring a covered dish an byob (i promise not to get too tipsy....he!he!). Trey makes great deviled eggs an I have my grandma's recipe for sweet potato pie! Shotsy will be in attendance also as he is great on a leash.......yes, some Cats are like dogs!

Please let me know your thoughts an I hope to meet all of you Blessed people who helped us in our time of need!

Perhaps someone should pull a permit for a fire on the beach for one night.:idontno:. Where can you get seasoned firewood around here?

Actually, we could get together at Gulf Trace and have a hootenanny right down on the beach. Everyone could drive down from Grayton (no vehicle permits required, except in Grayton), maybe hay rides? I'm fairly sure we wouldn't need a fire permit, and lots of kindlin', too.

Whattaya say...? ;-) :D

You know that pressure treated board produces highly toxic fumes when burned, so don't go ripping off lumber as firewood from any trash heaps falling out to Sea in GT.

Tough times in the publicity business, eh? OK, how you getting to the Jersey Shore? (which is nice enough by the way, I've been there often, it's just no SoWal, Senator!).

If driving, by the time you (rent a car?) make two round trips at $3/gallon and tolls (my god the tolls!), Delta or Airtran can get you out of Newark or JFK and thru ATL to SoWal for close to the same money... :idea:

As for sponsorship, I KNOW there is someone on this board that would donate a ticket or something to make sure Kimmifunn is there in person. I can't get involved in all that as I am a happily married woman! :nono1:

It's tough to make the big money in publicity. Especially "starting out". :bang: When big Gus (dad) fronts the money for me to do my own thing...then bring on the big bucks! :clap_1:

Until then...I would like to depart from JFK, LGA or Newark on the Friday August 2nd (after work) and returning to NY on August 5th. Anyone? Anyone? :wub: :wub: :wub:

Fear not, if you know the secret handshake (wear a SoWal.com sticker on your shirt or person) you're in like Flynn. For "planned" events, I suspect all SoWal'ers need is a reason and a day/time. I have heard there is something afoot in October already. Maybe someone can provide details? What is your preferred date, CoS? I know there will be folks around.;-)

Someone the other day said SoWal.com may challenge or replace the infamous POETS ("Put Off Everything 'Til Sunset) of Grayton. Should be room enough down there for both/all.:clap_1:

And JB, love ya' man. This is what I meant... "any number of bashes to bust the 'clique' wide open." It's happenin' now. :cool:

Don't anyone worry about October...we will have to get together at least once a week to make sure everyone coming and going gets to enjoy a Board Meeting!!! This thought is keeping me from melting here in Dallas...cool nights on the beach! No cliques allowed...we are family!

I need to be traveling on September 2nd returning September 5th.

My bad!

What happened to the Air Tran vouchers? :idontno:

I think we all knew what month you meant! I have some Delta miles I would love to pass your way...they high tailed it out of DFW and I vow never to fly into Atlanta unless absolutely necessary! Probably can't get a FF ticket for a holiday weekend though!

Anyone want to get together before Labor Day? We're driving down from Indianapolis to see (and destroy) our newly-purchased condo this Saturday, and will stay for the week. We'll probably be driving back home early on Labor Day. Anyone game for a pre-Labor Day drink or two? :razz: After all the hammering and redecorating we have planned for next week, we'll need one (big time).
