Yes folks, it's time again for the annual PLUG/Interlug BBQ, and I'd like to begin polling the list for help in getting this setup. I have a list of some areas I need the groups input/help on. If you have an opinion (hey it's plug, of course you will) please follow up on the thread. If you have something you want to sponsor, or do, just let me know.
Last year's BBQ was great! It was fun to bring my sweetie & kids to a Users Group event.
Date: We're planning on having this for our June meeting, but we won't be fixed on the 2nd Wednesday.
I suggest the second Saturday, June 9, but Wednesday, June 6 would be fine, too, if folks can attend midweek. Might it be difficult to have a late night on a Wednesday if some kids are still in school?
Location: Last year was good, if possible we'd like a larger pavillion, and not so much problem with the power :) Last year it was also nice to have somebody besides me paying for the pavillion (thanks Herlo/Lars). DO we want the Scera parks again, or is somebody wanting to schedule a different location?
Jordy?
Food: Do we want just open pit again? or do we want to do a potluck/navajo taco type deal?
Grilled flesh & veggies get my vote - open pit. Maybe with a twist though... how about a grilled sausage, grilled beef, grilled fruit, grilled veggies contest?
Activities: Do we want to publish a surplus swap meet again? (YES, I have stuff to give away). How about the after hours game night again? Other challenges activities we want to do?
Board games afterward would be great! Short(less than one hour) games nominations: Perudo(Liar's Dice variant) http://www.funagain.com/control/product/~product_id=013802 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perudo Coyote (another bluffing game where every one has numbered cards in a headband - fun to watch & fun to play) http://tinyurl.com/24c538
Sponsors: Anybodies company want to spent some promotional money for the location, for food/drinks/etc, or some swag?
I suggest using a wiki for signups to help coordinate the event. Here's what was done last year: http://uvlug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=bbq2006 -- Lars /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
