BBQ Info

We're going to do things a bit differently with the BBQ this year. Namely, we're going potluck!

Grilled meat (tri-tip and chicken) will be provided and prepared. Water will be available for drinking (oh, and wine...but we'll get to that in a second). Basic dinnerware and serving utensils will also be provided. Each attendee will need to bring a dish to pass (4-5 servings); signups available in the wiki in specific categories to ensure that we end up with a varied menu. Categories include:
  • Apps and snacks (suggestions: chips and dip, hummus, meat/cheese tray, veggie tray, etc)
  • Veggie side (suggestions: green salad, grilled vegetables, etc)
  • Starch side (suggestions: bread, potato salad, pasta salad, baked beans, etc)
  • Dessert
For those participating in wine sharing Despite Alaska following the Pacific Northwest tradition of being a primarily beer state, this BBQ has traditionally been a wine event! Bob W's Wall O' Wine™ (WOW) will be freely flowing; it is suggested that you choose the "BBQ + Wall o' Wine" option in the RSVP, which includes a donation to the WOW to ensure it doesn't run dry Alternatively if you have a special bottle you'd like to share, choose "BYOB" - suggested $25 per bottle.

For non-wine drinkers Water will be provided. Feel free to BYOB for other soft drinks, beer, or any other desires.
