We're meeting up with Frank along I-81 this evening and then it's on to the Sussex County Fairgrounds where we'll spend the night in line. Now all I have to do is make it through eight hours of work. I'm working from home today and have the funk blasting throughout the house

. I'm not sure I will be able to concentrate with visions of mud bugs, jambalaya, ettoufee, boudin, and beignets dancing in my head.

PS - We're also brining tons of ice...and the mixin's to keep our cubes from getting dry

Don,
You're just jealous that you won't be in our "line" this evening

Who know, they might just have pitty on us and let us in early.

My kid's favorite from last year.
He got the CD.
Tab Benoit signed it, and it's been in the Tahoe's CD player ever since.
Best listened to and appreciated @ 11. (And when mom's not in the truck.)

NOW We're Ready

Brings a tear to these weary eyes of mine.

DEITZ645 · 05-28-2009, 11:44 AM

DOHHHH!!!! I forgot the limes and Kosher salt!!! They're in the cooler now

Frank's Trailer Works · 05-28-2009, 02:14 PM

Carl, I see you are set for tonight, but what about friday, saturday, and sunday? You have another cooler for those days? Google Maps says 2.5 hours from me to Frackville. I would imagine it will take every bit of that leaving at this hour of day.

Truck and trailer are united. All is packed and loaded. Wally's favorite beverage is in the liquor closet along with my Jim Beam and my wifes wine. Beer is iced down and so is the waters and the cokes. Reffer has been burning for a few hours now and already making ice. (I just read back... the refrigerator is burning, not the reffer). All I need now is my GPS to come home from work.

Got family in dhem woods. Cann't for the life of me imagine why you are going over the mountain unless you're visitin relatives at the top. Good Luck. If you are going 81 to 80 be careful coming back down the mountain on 80. See you tomorrow morning about 9ish. Can you get spots for all when you arrive?

Frank's Trailer Works · 05-28-2009, 02:41 PM

Paul if I do not go 81/80 the tolls through Jersey will be more than the event...

I have the utmost confidence in Frank's powers of persuasion and the depth of Carl's cooler.

Showing up early helps too.

Bought a 30 pack of IceHouse (goin for quantity over quality) 4 Guinness Cans (it is my ritual to coat my stomach with one guinness at the outset of a drinking day). Two bottles of some local Bloody Mary mix. and one large bottle of a fine, yet inexpensive Polish potato vodka.

I have a couple of things to put in the trailer and then I'm hooking up. We expect to leave between 6 and 7 AM. We will hit mega traffic, but I'll just go with the slow flow.

DEITZ645 · 05-28-2009, 04:53 PM

We got the call from Frank awhile ago and my wife and I are out the door to meet up with him in Frackville. The next time we will chat it will be face to face. So everybody out there stay safe, drive careful, and remember...KEEP THE SILVER SIDE UP. We'll see you all in New Jersey

Laissez bon temps roulez!

Wayne&Sam · 05-30-2009, 06:54 PM

I just got back from spending the afternoon at Crawfish.

The good: half price tickets, jambalaya, Terrence Simien is always a hoot.

The bad: The Airstreams in the camping are were off limits to mere day ticket holders. But I did get to see the '64 Trade Wind being used as an office for the CD sales.

biggoofball · 05-31-2009, 06:18 PM

Home.

What a weekend!! Thanks to Frank and Don for convincing me to go. Thanks to Frank for cooking breakfast!! Thanks to Debra for being the bestest.

My photos to come. I just need to finish a drink and get some rest. Maybe tomorrow. I look forward to seeing everyone else's photos. All of mine include blood and stitches.

We met so many wonderful people. All my new friends rule!!
