Longhorn Tailgating Poll (Page 2)

Yeah!  Michelle is bringing dessert!  Little bites of happiness!

Ok, I have 2 x 10lb briskets, 5 racks of ribs, 2 x 6.5lb bags of chicken breasts and BBQ sauce and my big grill.  If anyone wants to bring stuff to grill, please bring it along.  Also, I will take cash donations up to the amount that we spent, then I am going to donate the rest on behalf of BT to the folks in Galveston.  I would like to work that out through Keith and the triathlon community so that it goes directly to those in need.  If you have spectators, friends, family, etc that don't know what to do while you are racing, send them to the BT tent.  There are so many threads going regarding Longhorn that I am having a hard time letting everyone know about the team tent.

We are really looking forward to the event.  The weather in Austin is awesome right now!

Thanks for setting up the tailgating party! My hubby, son and parents will probably stop by and hang out during the race. Looking forward to meeting everyone this weekend!

You da man!

You da man!

So excited I had to say it twice.

Questions and answers about location and such:

1.  Can we drive by the park race morning and drop-off a person at the gate with a cooler and then park that car at the Expo center?  No vehicles will be allowed at (or near) the park on race morning.  We will have shuttles available from the Expo Center.

2.  We will have a truck, grill and a tent (2 spaces) to leave overnight.  If spaces are designated, can we be near the run course (but away from the Bees)? All tailgaters are positioned along the run course.  It’s going to be great.

3.  You are more than welcome to come by and have some BBQ on Sunday  Thanks so much. Looking forward to meeting y’all.

Do NOT, repeat, NOT trust Gary with your beer.  He's not sanctioned, licensed, bonded, or otherwise recognized by anyone you'd even remotely trust.  The resume is a lie.  As is the shiny badge and spiffy looking "Official Race Beer Staff" shirt.  The probability of getting your beer back "untaxed" are probably statistically insignificant.

Thanks everyone for making the 1st Annual BT Tailgating Team tent at Longhorn a big success.  We have notes on things to improve on and things we don't need for next year. If you have any ideas for next year, please get them to us as soon as possible so we can make a list (before we forget).  Pictures are posted HERE .

We collected about $150 and have some food leftovers but no beer. We also have a blue asics bag with a Castroville State Bank and Medina Valley koozies and assorted other items in it if you lost one.

Mike-

Thanks again for all you guys did.  The asics junk was mine. Keep it..Toss it whatever, as well as the pasta salad container.  It's all disposable.  I remembered it on the way home. Nothing I can't live without, certainly not worth postage.

Hope you enjoyed the oreo balls.

As for everyone that voted on the poll for who was going to show and what to eat. I'd encourage everyone to contribute even if you weren't able to show.  Mike and Karri went out of the way for us all and based their supplies on our information. I'd hate to see tailgates come to a screetching halt because they got stuck with a $150 bill.

Hope everyone had as good a time as I did.   

Just stopping in to say thanks to everyone for a fabulous time yesterday!!  Nice to meet so many of you.  Great food and great fun. 

Thanks Mike and Karri! The BBQ was awesome. It was great to meet you guys. Hi to everyone in the phenomenal BT tailgater cheering section.  My ears are still ringing.
