2nd Annual Kite Widow Luncheon: FRI 11:30am

soliver - 27-4-2016 at 04:01 AM

I say we do the same as last year, gang. Pot lock style at one of the pavilions on Thursday.

I'll bring Dogs, charcoal, buns and all the accouterments.

Those are just my suggestions, completely open.

Thoughts?

I am really looking forward to the luncheon - my only thought is the wind and tide line up better and better as the week goes on so maybe earlier in the week would be better- Tuesday?

so would the options be early in the week but late in the day (after we are done on the beach) or later in the week but earlier in the day (before we get on the beach)?

are most people going to be there for the full week?

I'd vote for early in the week and later in the day.

I vote we have it at Marks house. I wont have to apply for a passport to eat there. :lol::lol::lol:

I'm cool with whatever the consensus is, but with the little kiddos (for me), later in the day is tougher... The crazies and crankies start to come out after 5:00, but its doable. What do the tides look like for Tuesday?... I am tempted to say that Later in the week/ earlier in the day will wrk better for me personally, but that's just me. ... not to mention we'd likely have an easier time scoring one of the pavilions earlier in the day.

I just wanted to get the wheels turning on it so we have a plan. I remember how much we have enjoyed all hanging out and eating together in the past few years.

As much as I'd love to see MarS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s house... I don't think thats on the docket for me :lol:

Well the tides go later each day. Get a full belly like noon, then kite hard all that afternoon. Low tide is at 2:07pm Thursday on Angus's website. So if we eat 11-12ish we should still have 2 good hours before low tide, then 3 good hours of beach after low tide. I'm down for whatever, but Spencer's original thoughts do sound reasonable. Any earlier than that and Spencer will be cooking bacon and eggs. :thumbup:. I also think Angus said he has to work the first half of the week.

We will bring a big pan of homemade Mac n cheese and a few two liters of drink again. Say diet coke and Sprite.

I'm just ready to fly and hang with the kite peeps. Make more memories.

Does it make sense to do lunch on Friday in this case?... Low tide would be 3:00, so if we do 11:30 lunch that gives us ample time to eat before we head to the beach for the "2-hours-before-low-tide" rule of thumb

Lets make the call, please!!!

I second the end of the week call with Spence.

soliver - 2-5-2016 at 03:52 PM

Ok, I'm calling it....

FRIDAY KITE WIDOW"S LUNCH at 11:30

Michael Gaylan - 5-5-2016 at 05:35 AM

Sounds like wiener to me!!!

soliver - 5-5-2016 at 01:01 PM

I'll bring charcoal, hotdogs, buns and all the fixins...

Who's bringing other stuff?

3shot - 5-5-2016 at 02:50 PM

We got a pan of Mac n cheese and two 2 liter soft drinks

soliver - 6-5-2016 at 06:40 AM

Me and the fam. will be getting to dunes park around 11:00 to try and get a pavilion for us and to get the coals burning

See y'all there!

soliver - 6-5-2016 at 07:59 AM

I've got the same Pavillion we had last year

jrhook - 6-5-2016 at 04:09 PM

I was just a taker but will not remain so in the future...thanks to all the givers! Really great to get together with everyone and finally get a handle on who's who! My analysis of the group; most are crazier than me, most are way more fun than me and all are genuinely nice folks to be around. And it seems a few know a little something about kites:)

soliver - 6-5-2016 at 04:14 PM

Great lunch today gang!... Thanks everyone for coming and participating!

3shot - 6-5-2016 at 05:52 PM

We kinda had to eat and run today, but wanted to say thank you to all who pitched in a little something. Was a nice cookout:D
Hope everyone enjoyed wifey's Mac n cheese.
