Hope Sudo will join us. But it's an Ole Miss football weekend, and he "lives" for college football and his Rebels. I've invited him and told him I hope he joins us, but I'll let him make up his own mind. But no kiddoes. The girls will both be off at college, and Nathan will have fun that weekend at his cousin's house. In fact, that will be a big treat for him.
Ex10 gave me the link for area accomodations. http//www.woodlandsonline.com. I'll check it out for a place to stay. If anyone needs a roomie, let me know and we'll see what we can work out (hopefully, will be bringing my roomie with me!). I plan to take a shuttle service to and from the airport. If someone else is driving in and knows where they are staying, please let me know if I can a hitch a ride to the festivities with you. I'll even book a room at the same hotel. Thanks.
hey Suda... tell Sudo he needs to come so that I won't be the oldest one there...
AND (if myseestorEx10 will remind me) I could suggest the hotel I stayed at last year... it was pretty convenient to their house (well, as convenient as it can be) and was a nice, clean place...
Ecks-ten, what was the name of the place I stayed at?
hmmm... it was just south of the road we take to get to your house, there was a big shopping center (actually there were a bunch of them) but there was a big one that had a golf galaxy in it... also a starbucks that we stopped at... there was a restaurant of some kind between it and the freeway (i think)... I'm thinking it was a Fairfield or a Courtyard... something like that...
Strange One - The Limerick thread from last year has been resurrected. I figured it was better than starting a new one - I just hope no one gets confused....Also, it kinda keeps a fun sort of timeline - should we make the BBQ's a tradition - regardless of the location.
well... I don't know about you, but I'm visiting ex10 and her beloved the first week in November from now on... (check my outlook calendar, it's there!)
Well of course, Tommy, my mom asked if your mom will be coming with you. Mom so enjoyed the company, as did the rest of us. So pleeze, oh purdy please, bring your Mama. :wub:
Not to distract from the BBQ, I'd like to mention that the Twentieth Annual "Thank God I'm not a Pig" roast will be held at Quintana Beach Park on Saturday, Oct. 6, from noon to 5 PM. The theme this year is "Underhog." As usual, the music will be provided by the Porkestra (i.e., the Lake Jackson Traditional Jazz Band). Admission is free, though we are accepting donations for the Brazoria County Youth Homes. All Greasespotters should consider themselves welcome, although in practicality only Houston-area folks would likely make it. (Quintana is on the coast, about 55 miles south of Houston.)

Tommy, ok I remember which place you stayed, just not the name of it. I'm gonna have to drive over there I reckon, and look at the sign out front. ;)
Dooj and I are spreading the word, cause unless someone has looked at this thread, they probably don't know about the BBQ.

Tommy,
After consulting Mom, I think the place you stayed was the Marriot Courtyard.

So, Tom, if I book a room at the Marriot Courtyard, could I hitch rides with you to and from the Ex10's? Would it be an imposition?

well, george, not being one to pass up a smoking pig, I might have to show up with my beloved. So how will I find you? Should I wear a name tag?

That, or a bikini!
Seriously, here's how to get there:
Take SH 288 south from Houston.
Go all the way through Lake Jackson, Clute, and Freeport until 288 merges with SH 36.
Continue on 36 (east) until it ends at FM 1495.
Turn right, and follow 1495 over a big bridge.
At the end of the bridge is CR 723. Turn left, and go until it ends.
Turn right, and you're there.
We have the Quintana and Bryan Pavilions reserved.
If someone is actually manning the entrance gate, tell him you're there for the Pig Roast and you won't have to pay.
In case of rain, the roast will be at Richwood Park (covered pavilion):
Take 288 S to Lake Jackson.
Take the first exit (FM 2004). Turn Left.
Continue on 2004 until you cross RR tracks.
At the next light (Oyster Creek Dr.), turn right.
At the second street (Wisteria), turn left.
At the stop sign, turn right. Polk Elementary will be on your right, and the park on your left.
George

So when you smoke a pig - do you roll it in a paper or stuff it in a pipe..?
