I'm getting back home for good on the 24th, and I thought we should have a celebratory get-together in honor of the occasion. I KNOW Nate has missed me, and Dan's going to want to see my wife again, so why fight it?

I'm thinking that following weekend (29-30) could work or sometime thereafter. We'll have people out to our place for apple juice, graham crackers, and some old-fashioned mud wrestling. There will be a memorial service for the fallen goat, and the Rev. Dirty Tire will give a message to ease our pain.

I'm TOTALLY flexible for the dates on this (Except Nov 5,6) and I need all of your input to find the best date for everybody.

I'm definitely up for gettin the Goat. How? Haven't quite figured that out yet.

count me in

Doesn't Dan want to see everyone's wife? Depending on the date, I may make it.

november 12 or 13th would be great.... i'd be able to accually go to a dsmcentral function..... I would almost be available for the 5th depending on the time of the event on the 5th and also depending on the time of the open house on the 6th at Universal Tech inst. (can't miss it)

keep us posted on dates/times bro, I'd be glad to get together with all of you again.

Ben

Goatfest!? Now this sounds like Spy's kind of event!

November 6th is the DSMCentral SCDC at Cordova, but I will be there any other date.

Well, there's no reason not to accomodate Ben as well!! Let's shoot for 19 November. There, we have a firm, hard, throbbing date set for the DSMCentral Goatfest/ Camel Humping Fair. You see, we can pretend that Ben and I are both coming back from Iraq because I was right where he is myself for 17months not too long ago. Come see both of our brave little soldiers as they struggle to put their broken lives back together in the wake of a terribly tyranny in the Middle East.

Yeah, whatever.............

We'll supply hot dogs and burgers plus sodas. Anyone wanting to bring a side dish is encouraged to do so. Significant others and chitlens are more than welcome, although I won't have much for the kids to do. BYOB. Parking will be at a premium, so prepare to make a short walk if needed.

Come see the excitement, the fun, the "Is Spy really doing that to your dog?" amazement!! SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!!!! I mean, Saturday, Satur.......er..... that doesn't sound as cool. Anyways, if you're not there you better be dead or in jail, and if you're in jail, BREAK OUT!!!

sounds like a good time, except that 19 november, I am supposed to be in Minnesota

13th is actually my birthday... hmmm....

Whatever the date, I'll try to make it. Will depend mainly on the wife's work schedule.

Nothin but love, baby. Nothin but love.

I believe I can make that day. WOO HOO!!!

Alright, gentlemen. The Goat is back in town. Rolled in at about 5 last evening. I awoke this morning to find my wife in a black teddy draped across a brand new Evo sitting in my driveway!!! The sleek, blue paint shimmering in the early autumn sun was absolutely breathtaking! Then I really woke up to my wife's knee planted firmly against my spine. Good thing dreams are free.

So, I need a firm count of who all is going to attend. Still planning on the 19th. A large, spankin'-new grill was purchased this evening just for this event. There's going to be a raffle for a new bass boat and face painting for the kids.* Come on out and have a great time.

what day now?

19 NOV 2005, beeeyotch!

Okay, so even more details for yo ass. Nov. 19 2-6pm. Again, we'll provide burgers and dogs, if you want, bring a side dish. I apologize for my own abscense in promoting this, but things have been more chaotic that I could have imagined since I've been home. There's a new (and very much unexpected) roof being put on the GoatBarn right now, and my energy and time are both limited commodities.

Also, If I could get attendance confirmations, that would be a great help.

I'll confirm attendance. I will try to bring some ho's, too. Cause that's how I roll.

Just found out from the woman that we're going to be visiting her friends in Quincy that weekend. Dammit!

I remember when we used to hang out with Natedogg...


Hahaha J/k man. I'll be there, probably with Carmen.

Yeah, I remember when I used to hang out with Natedogg too. He's gone now. Replaced with a more obedient, less daring, shadow of himself. He does occasionally reappear on tight on-ramps, Farmdale Rd., and long stretches of empty country road. The tragedy of Natedogg.

I will bring the GF too

the wife and I would show except that we will be in wisconsin that weekend

Some directions for yo' ass.

I live in Peoria, IL .... which is a suburb of Chicago - Exellent!

Anyhew, I live off of Sheridan on Eleanor.
If you're heading towards downtown on Sheridan, you pass Forrest Hill, McClure, and just before you reach Nebraska, you'll see Eleanor on the right. Turn here if you plan on attending. Our address is 820. Once again, parking is at a premium, so if you can carpool, I would encourage it.

Perhaps we'll have a contest to get MY wife drunk!?!?! Then Rob could finally take advantage of her the way he spoke of on his birthday. Filthy bastard.

Who, me?

Not sure if I can make it or not... might have to play Mr Mom.

Wish i could actually make it out to a meet for once but i work saturdays late night. I've got a box of Absinth just screaming to be consumed. It's the same collor coming back up as it is going down!

We are planning on coming for a little while.

Susan

I've got some terrible news, folks. It looks like I'm going to have to cancel tomorrow's party. My wife is in the hospital, and she won't be getting out until tomorrow, so I don't want to have to worry about entertaining guests while she's resting. Sorry to cut this off on such short notice, but I hope everyone will understand.

Thanks,
Joe

No problem here man. I just hope everything is ok.

Well, she wouldn't even be there if she'd just have dinner ready on time! No, she's having some intestinal problems, but it's totally treatable through meds. Thanks for the concern.

Sorry to hear, hope she feels better soon. Let us know if you reschedule!

same here buddy... let me know if you need anything.... I am more than happy to help if I can... hope she gets well soon

My apologies to those of you who didn't get this in time and showed up anyway. Sorry to have wasted your time/gas. I may look at rescheduling, but for now, I don't think it'll happen at all this year.
