So the feelers are out on this one .. this looks to be round #4! Wow, time is flying by.

Proposed Get together : JULY 27-29, 2007


I know some who may be interested in attending need as much advance notice as possible. Unless there is some major unforseen weekend in which everybody can't do it this weekend, This date should be solid - as hosts, Tecoyah and myself are wide open and available


So Who's on board for the party! Despite what you may hear, we've had sunny skies and gorgeous weather at every party so far

On the agenda ... Phil's RIBS!! plus anything else that sounds interesting

I will have to see what I can do. My son's bday is July 30th. I'd want to make sure I was home for that. But it's not out of the question yet.

If you can make it to Rochester... GO!

I will accept no maybe.....If indeed we do this thing, it will be the best yet. Anyone interested in this party please let us know, as we will be making plans accordingly. If the dates are questionable....those too can be worked on for optimal availability.

aberkok

I am interested...especially if I can get a ride there.

If not, I am quite ready and willing to buy a bus ticket.

As far as I can tell, I'm in.

Pan is actually off that weekend! I will check with him and see what he thinks. Definately a possibility as far as im concerned!

Pan loves ribs! (I will bring my own hot dogs... I cant do ribs)

I will supply Zweigels Hots for the poor unfortunates that cannot partake in Phils illustriously Delectible Ribness. Looks like there is interest, and so I will take this seriously going forward and commit to one hell of a good time for all.

Be afraid....Be very....ah hell just be prepared to stay up all night and party.

fresnelly

Sorry folks. I'm going on a long planned camping trip that weekend. I'm glad it's happening and I wish I could be there with you.

He does indeed...

Yum yum, uncle phil's ribs. I'm jealous of all of you who can partake in this. Unfortunately, the airfare to Rochester is just too steep for someone so far away. I wish I could be there! I know everyone who makes it there will have a fantastic time.

And yes, party all night--or at least until you pass out--for me.

Hey now, the Rochester meet-up last year was the first stop on our long-planned camping trip around New England, and we still made it there... and met you! (Just sayin', you know...)

Ah, wish we were Stateside so that we could make it to all these TFP meetups... last year was a banner one for us making it to meetups. Y'all have a good time now, ya hear?

If we were heading in that general direction, I'd definitely stop in, but alas, we're heading north.

Fingers crossed for the TFP Cruise!

Let me know folks....if the dates need to be adjusted to make it easier to attend.

Ok, I checked the calendar. If I make it up there, I'd arrive late Friday night. I refuse to miss another BBQ/drink/good time.

Not just any Ribs either....these will ruin you for all others.

Phil is a genius

Lucifer

Sorry. I don't think I will be making this one. As it turns out the first mate and third mate both have their vacations booked for that time, and we are not allowed to have all three steady mates off the ship at the same time. Maybe next year.

Since 3 of our dearest can't make that weekend, Widow is pushing it and I'll be going to TN less than 4 weeks later, could it possibly be the weekend before-July 20th? Just a thought...

Weekend before is tecoyah's wife's birthday... if we're kicking her outta the house to have the party, she sure better be happy about it.

since i'm semi hosting .. 27thof july or later would work best for me if we're talking about changing dates.

I still haven't figured out the exact details, but I'll be there however I get there. A bus ticket is in the budget, so you can count on me as long as I can get a ride from the bus depot or whatever. Details as I have them.
