oh miss v - were you the OP of that link back a few months ago that i can blame for 2 hours of lost time reading all of those recipes instead of being productive! : )
Getting some pics up now.
Hee hee it might've been me, I can't recall... I am a HUGE fan of that site though!! I've decimated whole nightclubs of people with a purseful of individually wrapped gourmet jello shots, scattered willy-nilly...
If you use the sugar-free jello, you can fit more alcohol in them, because the mix is more absorbent. SCIENCE!

You might have to come early and teach me wise one ;D

I live to spread the gospel of gelatinized alcohol! Plus if you make em you get to eat all the imperfect ones (my special rule).
Tom Lehrer (he of "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park") invented the jello shot. He and a buddy wanted to party in their Army barracks but the regulation said "no alcoholic BEVERAGES allowed". Since it said nothing about alcoholic FOOD, they couldn't be punished for jello shots. The man's a national treasure.
Sorry for my absence! I somehow lost track of this thread and every time I planned on searching my post history to look for it, I'd get distracted by another thread...
Anyway, I am still down for this! I RSVPd on the Facebook invite LD mentioned earlier as well. I see LD and Katy Mae on there... where is everyone else? Holls, I might be able to help with Bradley if that is what works best for you. I live 20 minutes away.
Also, I was supposed to go to a Yankee game tomorrow (I've never been to the new stadium), but plans got changed last minute. Not sure if I am happy or sad as a Sox fan. But a baseball game is a baseball game and beer is beer!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I refused to go to Yankee Stadium on principle. Even when my school had five dollar trips, bus and ticket included, I wouldn't go as I felt it supported the evil empire monetarily.
Anyway...
Confirmed: Quacker/Fawnmart Lowerdeck Katy Mae Bonzai MizValentine (I presume anyway)
Maybe: Holls
What do I need to fix on this? Who is yay, nay, maybe?
^ what's this MAYBE??? I'm so there I've staahted dropping my Rs in convuhsations!
Srsly...I just got the official OK to take half a day off (woohoo!) so I'll leave around lunch on Friday and take the last flight out Sunday afternoon/evening. Cantquackinwait!
Its starting to come together. I believe Capt Jack is in as well. Quacker and I will work on food and stocking the bar next. : ) As we get closer will check on favorite libations to make sure we are stocked. Cant wait! This is turning into my fav-rit' summa' since I was a teenager. (That hurt.. I have R's in my words despite being an RI lifer.) Wait- wayyyy better than the teen age years!

I'd MUUUUUUCh rather be at Fenway, but I do believe baseball is baseball. If I was going to be there tomorrow, you could bet that I'd be rooting for the Rays!
FM, you and Quacker should distribute some of the bar stocking tasks to us!

One of said five dollar trips, they were playing the Twins. Knowing me, I would have gone down there wearing a Twins hat, Mauer shirt, and getting jumped by some drunken Yankees fan.
I too am a baseball fan. I once went to a Mets game. I own a Phillies hat. I've been to Baltimore three times for ballgames, though against Boston all three. When I went to Toronto, I checked the Jays schedule to see if they were at home that weekend (nope, sadly).
Back to the party: I'd bring some Gansetts. Let that be my role. I don't make stuff, so let me bring some booze.
Haha. I love baseball so much I sat through a scheduled single-admission doubleheader at Shea and the first game went something like 12 innings. That was back in the day when they actually scheduled a couple of them during the regular season. Don't remember who the Mets were playing but many beers were consumed.
LD bringing Gansetts is a great idea. You 'da man!
Depending on how much is in my beer stash, I might bring other stuff too.
Currently in the closet:
4x Fat Tire cans, leftover from 'Roo 6x Yuengling 6x Yuengling Black and Tan 6x Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale 6x Rolling Rock Saranac "Tastes of Summer" sampler 12 pack
Maybe the "many beers" is why you don't remember, Quacker?
I like your beer taste, LD! Yuengling is one of my favorites and I do like Saranac, but there are a few iffy ones in those samplers so I don't get them too often. I'll have to think about what to bring. Should I make some Sangria or keep it simple with beer or a bottle of vodka, etc? I'll def bring a long a dip or something as well.

It was like 12 bucks at Yankee Spirits (Sturbridge), so I wasn't gonna complain too much. I figure I might serve that one up at the party I got tomorrow.
I get a deep discount through my work on catering sized platters of cold sandwiches, I'd be happy to grab one for munchie food
YES! Sandwiches are SO simple, yet so darn tasty!! Love them.
Do we want to plan on an actual meal, or just tons of good snacky food all day/night? Sandwich platter, dips, apps, etc. We could supplement with some skewers of chicken and veggies or something if we want too.

Planning on some real fuds for sat early evening..
Thinking clam bakish.. the Bacon Scallops will make a return, and probably steama's, fresh corn on the cob, grilled chourice etc (still thinking it through..) to give Holls a NE fix. We will also have saugies and burgers and fixins so anyone can grill up a burger or dog at any point. and potatoe salad (I make a mean one.). We'll have all of the papergoods covered.
We'll also get a few handles of Vodka, Capt, and Tequila. Oh Oh Oh we can power up the MagueritaVille maker. It makes any mixed drink magically deliciously cold. Will have a mix of soda, cranberry juice, plenty of water, and ice. Don will get beer too.
Anything/everything else mentioned or volunteered is very much appreciated. Though Ms. V's jello shots are required. ;D
The only thing I'm positively jonesin' for is a lobster roll...but I'll gladly pitch in with $$$ for whatever else. Flying into PVD instead of Boston saved me some serious coin, so I can totally splurge on nommage. ;D

Woo hooo!!
Consider me OFFICIALLY confirmed, along with my jello shots! I didn't see a FB event but I will look (I'm friends with too many damn bands... I lose all the good invites in the shuffle of crappy show invites..."Don't miss Blues Hammer this Tuesday at Uncle Pudgy's Pork Palace in Dracut!")

Oh and if there's anything yinz need food-wise, let me know!
FM, are you guys in southern RI? Maybe I'll stop in Providence on the way down and grab a box of baked goods from Scialo Brothers...I have dreams about the aroma of that place!
We are in Warren. So come through PVD then go east for 15 minutes or so. Pretty much anything that comes from 'da Hill is Fab-u-ly! This is going to be so tasty and sooo much fun!
SOOOO much great food and libations, not enough Inforoo'ers! We must work on recruiting. There must be more Roo'ers that would like good fuds, good fun, and great company on 8/20.
Thinks i need to shower. Feeling a bit like an Amway sales person. That said I have targeted my recruit for 8/20. (You know who you are. ) Tag team with me Holls. ;D
