Title: What's cookin' in the Mclotfus kitchen
Post by: Advent on August 14, 2009, 10:10:17 AM
BBQ pit secured!  ;D

This is the best pic I could find for the pit. Its on a trailer, covered, has preparation/serving areas and lights and a stereo if we can find a power source  ;D.

Also, this is a log burner, no charcoal needed, only logs!

The cook is out of beer!! DON'T LET THE COOK RUN OUT OF BEER!!!!

Yrose has also secured a 10x20 canopy! Restaurant de Mclotofus anyone?  ;D
Eating arrangements are shaping up to make for an awesome Big 3!


Also, we are now taking suggestions for menu ideas! So let hear em'! We are also accepting donations! Personally I'd take beer and loki, but that doesn't buy food! If you wish to donate, we have a paypal account setup: feedmybelly@mclotofus.com

Tim and I are going to buy one of those really, really quiet generators for TRF this year! The kind that you can barely hear running when you turn it on...NOT one of those rattle-your-brain noisy ones!  :P

So we should be able to plug that baby in and have some light too!!!   ;)

I am so excited about camping this year! It is going to be SO GREAT!!!  ;D

We are getting it locally, here in La Grange, so in case we have any problems with it and we can have it serviced here too.  The one we are getting is a Honda and I think it's around $1000

I remember my first year, That I was going to camp right by the drum circle. hahaha..  ??? :'(

There were some drummer's though I wouldn't call what they were doing "drumming" all the way till noon the next day.

But I'm a picky sleeper anyways.
