I’ve created a page for the First Ever Big Ass BBQ.  You can find a link to it at the top of this page over the logo or header.  In case that’s too difficult here’s a link to it:  http://bitsandpieces.us/babbq/ 

Right now it just has the info from the post the other day.You can leave comments there if you wish.

Big Ass BBQ set for September 4

by

Due to several factors, chiefly being the availability of the location (and so Bella can make it) the official date for the First Ever Bits & Pieces Big Ass BBQ will be Saturday, September 4, 2010 in St. Louis MO.

Now I need to figure out exactly how this event will occur.  When I originally proposed it I figured I’d put it on at my expense.  I was figuring 20–30 people might attend.   Some pork steaks, brats, etc and some soda and a few cases of beer and we’d be set.  But with the potential of at least a hundred people, heck, maybe 200,  that might not be possible. 

I had 221 responses to the poll.  66% said that September 4th would work for them.  That’s 146 people.  If 60% of those people actually show up that would be 88 people.  Some will come alone, some will bring a spouse or date, and some will bring their families (families will be welcome).   If everyone just brought one other person (conservative average) we’re talking 176 people.  The place has held events with as many as 300 people but that’s about the maximum limit. 

We’ll have to come up with a plan of some sort.  I’m looking for input from you guys.  Just some thought in the early stages of planning.

  • Club2Attendance – If we have to limit numbers should it be by first reservation or commitment?  If so, how should we do that?  I can’t just have it open to anybody, I want to know who’s coming.

  • A special Big Ass BBQ T-Shirt?  We need design ideas.  Prize for best design?
  • Name tags?  I would think that’s a must.
  • Cost (This won’t be a money-maker for me, but it would be nice to help defray some expenses)
  • Should we plan activities or just sit around and talk?
  • Facility: We have a nice pool and patio area, volleyball court, a nice sound system for music, outdoor kitchen area, etc.

Big Ass BBQ

I have a little dilemma on the date for the BABBQ.  I was hoping to get Saturday July 3rd, but was unable to secure it.  There is a possibility I could still get that date, but it’s not certain (It would take some wheeling and dealing).  (Sundays are not available.)  September 4th would allow a couple of travel days (after the BBQ) for anyone coming from out of town since Labor day is Monday, September 6th.  What I need to know is which date would work best for anyone thinking about coming.  I’m not asking for a commitment at this time, but if you’re considering coming, would one date be better for you than the other?

Both dates have their advantages and/or disadvantages: 

Set vs Jul

There would be a little more to do in St. Louis the 4th of July weekend than the Labor Day weekend but St. Louis has plenty to see and do any time of the year for those that can take the time.

I know most of the readers don’t want to or just can’t make it (which is good since we have thousands of daily readers), but I want to ask those who think it’s in the realm of possibility to attend, which date would be best for you?  Others don’t need to answer the poll.
