First - the "Why" : mostly because I feel like it, but it's been in the back of my head as a way of saying "Thank You" ever since the Ferry Tale (Chapter One) ended.
Second - the "Where?" :
http://henrico.us/rec/places/dorey/ Dorey Park in Henrico County. Go get directions and suchlike for your GPS before everybody else wears them out. We will be at Shelters 4, 5, and 6.
Third : "Why Henrico? Aren't they anti-gun?" Why, yes. Grasshoper. You are beginning to understand. Be sure to see if I was able to pull off a coup with regards to that.
Fourth : "Will this be worth my time travelling all the way from __?" : Roast whole hog for approximately the first 100 folks to get plates. Beef ribs in case any of you infidels do not eat pork. The usual sides and drinks. And all at no charge - except for Grapeshot who will get to participate for free.
Bring things to amuse yourselves from 1PM till somewhere between 4PM and 5PM when the pigs should be ready. Check the website
http://henrico.us/rec/places/dorey/ for stuff they have there you can use to distract yourself/get into trouble with till the food is ready.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - both ears, the tail, and the snout are reserved. Those among you who are feeling upset about that can talk to me the day of the event about having them auctioned off, with the proceeds going to one of the gun rights organizations.
Other Important Stuff : While the wearing of BBQ Guns is highly encouraged, remember that they can only be admired while properly holstered. Clothing with pro-gun rights insignia/statements are encouraged. However, statements encouraging violence, disobedience of the law, the "F" word, or outright insults to any group or occupational field are unwelcome*. If you think your clothing might be offensive it probably is so bring something to cover it up/change into.
Have I missed anything - except that I'm looking forward to seeing a whole lot of you there?
stay safe.
* - my pig roast, my rules. Which means it's going to have to be outright seditious to get censored. Merely tacky is the problem of the wearer.
