Fire is burning down and the pork butts will be going on soon.

 

[paulthenurse]

Hey guys, I can't find my camera. Would anyone who has a digicam bring it along. That way we can taunt those who wish they came and blackmail those who do. In the meantime, I'll keep searching.

Hey guys, I can't find my camera.

PTN

... lost camera
... post count creeping towards the 1000 mark?

Hmm, coincidence..??

We need to find out!

In the meantime, notice how he is trying to distract us with pork butts and beer...

 

[paulthenurse]

I'll be upfront about it now. The only butt that I'll be taking pictures of is on the smoker. I'd lke to keep mine attached.

[JustMrWill]

ok...packing up....will bring a camera.

A co-worker said he wanted to go...so waiting on him to show.

I don't have much beer ready...but I'll bring some that I helped a friend make.

[Melana]

Thanks for the best hour of our weekend Paul... i'll leave it at that...

JL we are sorry we missed you... And we're sorry we missed Jeff and the rest of the later arrivals... really, we couldn't miss the wedding... thankfully JustMrWill took atleast one picture to prove that we were really there and not a figment of ptn's imagination!

We'll be at the next gathering at Paul's house... and we're not going to leave early. there are NO MORE family weddings!


Now, off to the wedding...

 

[Sumo]

I can't believe 8 hours flew by so fast! It was a pleasure to meet all of you in person. Paul thank you for inviting us to your home.

Melana,
That apple cake was so good, that I would walk from Cambridge to your house if I knew you were making more! :rockin:

-Albert

 

[JustMrWill]

Thanks Paul! Fabulous time, terrific food, and great beer! I'll post the pictures as soon as I get them uploaded.

-JMW

You're in luck... i'm making another batch of apple cake tomorrow morning... 7am. Bring the coffee and i'll have the cake ready by 8:30

One of the stars of the event - Paul's smoked butt....soo good.

That's most of my pictures. I have a lot of duplicates etc. I'll try to get back and add captions and who's who...although, I suck at remembering names...sooo....

You're in luck... i'm making another batch of apple cake tomorrow morning... 7am. Bring the coffee and i'll have the cake ready by 8:30

Tempting...not sure I'll be up by then though.

Once again...thanks Paul and everybody...

[paulthenurse]

Wow, i just finished stacking th last of the chairs and was headed off to a shower and bed when I decided to check in. What fantastic pictures! Thanks, JMW!

By my count we had well over 30 people here. I have everyone's names straight, both board and real names. Will, if you can't remember someone in a picture let me know and I'll tell you so everyone gets recognized. And I don't think you missed anyone!

So thanks to everyone for coming. Hope you had fun. Alice and I certainly enjoyed having you here. We all got to sample some great beers, eat some fantastic foods and share a lot of laughs. Now I need to go to bed, I'm beat.

When is a good time for the next one?

 

[DrinksWellWithOthers]

Hey Paul just wanted to thank you again for throwing this little shindig. I had a great time and the food, the beer, and the company were great. I've only been part of this forum for a short while but I'm glad I made it out for this event. I'm definitely down for another HBT gathering in the future.

I don't think I mentioned my user name when I introduced myself but in case anyone was wondering I'm Marc - the one who was wearing the black Smokey Mt Brewery shirt and the ratty Red Sox hat.

 

[Melana]

wow, great pictures!

 

[Sumo]

And now for my Homer Simpson inpersonation.. "Melana apple cake mmmmmaarrragammargragg (with drool at the end)"

Edwort maybe the king of appfelwein, but we can start a huge thread on the Melana appfel cake. Sloan and were ready to create a diversion and sneak the plate into the car.

 

[Boston]

Awesome time yesterday! Great friends, good food and fine weather. Thanks, Paul & Alice, for your hospitality. It was cool to meet everyone, especially Hippie, who I feel a special bond with ever since he joined HBT a few years ago. Must be a hockey thing.

Can we do it again next year?

[paulthenurse]

If I were you I'd buy a plane ticket now.

 

[paulthenurse]

Am I the only one who noticed a lot of Hippy "Action" shots?

 

[Sumo]

He was brewing away and doing the most running around other then you. The rest of us were parked in chairs drinking, eating, eating, drinking.
Not that that was a bad thing.

 

[JustMrWill]

Am I the only one who noticed a lot of Hippy "Action" shots?

The camera just loved him....

 

[GraniteRiverBrewing]

What a great day. Beautiful weather, great beer.. All you guys rock...:rockin:

Paul, you were an amazing host...Thank you very much.

Awe thanks! I'll make it again any time as long as BigJohn peels and cuts up the apples for me.

 

[Donasay]

Great People, Great Food, Great Beer, Great Conversation, Great Apple Cake..... It was the perfect day.

Groundhog Day..?

A nice theme.

We can see if beers cast a shadow...
If not, continue drinking until they do...?
