You're all invited to the •••• SECOND Annual Caedes Virtual BBQ ••••
Last year - Through the kind providing of many, a great time was had by all. So .. a little earlier this year to help us through the depths of the winter for us folks in the NORTH.
Directions --->
This is a come-as-you-are but BYO food. Be sure to bring lots because some will bring nothing at all. (Shhh...you know who they are)
We've arranged for a beautiful location, you might even have a picture of the park to post to illustrate for others. If you do, just name it so that we'll recognize it. We don't want any pictures of members though.. we want people to come. *wink*
Where we're having it has many spots to hang out. One spot will be for the photographers, they like to hang out together. Another spot for the fractal and computer-gen folks, some of those rarely socialize with others 'not of their kind'. There is a path leading from spot to spot though as some of them seem to go both ways. The "framer" people will be joining hands forming boxes and circles around the groups espousing that the groups look better with borders.
Another spot will be for the for the Caedes "Lurkers" and those whose names we don't know because they don't really contribute anything, they just register with silly little, sometimes rude names to bypass the download limits. You'll recognize the area set aside for them because it won't have any chairs because they won't stay long anyway. You'll know who they are because they'll arrive with empty coolers and armfuls of Tupperware, don't say hello and immediately ask for instructions on how to fill their containers before they go.
Another corner would be filled with people who will eat their own food but never say thanks for the location or comment on the good eating provided by others. They're over there *points* .. just follow the sound of the burps.
Another corner for those who will look at the food and say "it's over cooked”;” it’s under cooked"; "I don't eat pork"; "bbq is good but where's the beer" ignoring the fact that the bounty is provided for free but for the optional donation. *sigh* ....we brought in some Oscar Myer Hotdogs for them, they can cook their own over the flame of discontent. *lights the candle* ((..hmm... What was that Oscar Myer jingle again? "O I wish I was an Oscar Myer wiener ... " <-inserts EarWorm. ))
At the BBQ, you'll find me smiling at the special majority. Those wise and talented people who are walking from group to group offering their help and serving wherever they can. They look to collaborate, to share talents and to improve the value of each of our experiences. These people are the BBQ A-list, but everyone is invited.
The real party is in the center of the yard .. where all those with kindred spirits join to chat and enjoy the bounty, share the joy of our works and the celebrations of life.
This is what you can expect, we all need nourishment.
The park has many spots, perhaps you have a group of your own that you can bring a sign for. Just post it below.
My question, and for your careful pondering. What would you bring to this BBQ? We have folks coming to the virtual party from all over the world. I'm making a list, so tell me what you're able to bring that will help the celebration! You needn't bring anything ... but you wouldn't want to get put into the hotdog and candle group by mistake!
Just post a response to this topic with what you can bring. Make it interesting though, we want the group to be fun. There will be no votes, no c-indexes the only measure of success will be the menu you provide. So, do tell, whatcha going to bring? Is it true to your country/interests/culture? What's good to you?
