Carolinas Que-Do!-August 17, 2013
 

ALL: Regrest but I had some unexpected travel pop up and will have to withdraw. Sorry for the short notice and inconvience I may have caused.
I will attempt to PM all who said they may or will participate. If anyone can step up please do so.


Update 1:

Hotels: Plenty of Hotels in the area of CLT airport. (SPG, HH, IHG, Marriott and LaQuinta) Pick your own so you can get stay credit where you need it most!

Any FTers up for a BBQ Do in CLT sometime Mid August? (Tentative date 17 August.)

I am in CAE, but CLT seems like a nice central location for all.

Sign up below and please give your feed back on ideas/recommendations on activities, restaurants, etc .

It's a possibility, especially since I may have a work reason to be in CAE. I'd probably fly into FAY or RDU, however as CHI-CLT fares are in the high $300s.

This link looks interesting as well, but it doesn't cover SC BBQ which I suspect has some subtle differences from it's NC cousin.

And here's something for 2014:

You can put put me up as a good possible.

I'm interested and I think August 17th actually works for me. I may try to talk a friend who lives near RDU into this, too.

Great!

I see this as an event that can bounce around the Carolinas to explore different styles of BBQ and topics of interest! ie. CHS and a tour of the Boeing factory?

Can't make it. :(

We'll be in Miami with the Giants. ^

As of now I would be dinner only.

Please add me to the "maybe" list - I haven't figured out my other August plans yet...

Put me on the Maybe list. I don't know what my work schedule will be line (especially as I start Law School that Monday) but I would like to try and make it!

I won't know until 3-4 weeks in advance at the earliest, but I have it on my calendar.

Please note me as interested.

Mr. Kipper and I might be able to swing the trip. We'd probably drive, in part so we can swing through Lancaster's in Mooresville on the way home, and so we can smuggle some Que back across the Mason-Dixon Line. :D

Please add me +1 as maybe

I'm interested in joining, but I'm also an RD and just not a fan of BBQ.

Definitely, definitely interested!
