A little disclaimer: I did have a hard time organizing a MN meetup a few months ago. I am confident that being out of school will make this much easier for me. :thumb:
So the details...
Date: October 25th <-- set in stone
Time: 1:00-6:00pm (tentative)
Location: My house in eastern WI (that's right! I'm opening my house to you weirdos :-* ) I will PM everyone confirmed to attend at a later date with the address.
As the title implies, I'm hoping to get some interest from all the Midwest folks. Hopefully someone is willing to make the drive?
Post a comment to express interest or questions/concerns!
Tentative List of Attendees:
- HoffmanMyster (definitely)
- CPTBadAss (definitely)

Be aware that I only have my unsaver and titanium GH60 with me over the summer. I might have to go back home sometime, so I could pick up some of my other boards when I'm there

I know it's not ideal, but I figure if we're driving somewhere anyway, a free and reliable venue is worth it. If anyone is interested, I am more than willing to let you sleep on my couches/floor.
My biggest issue with setting up the MN meetup was finding a venue that didn't cost $200 and wasn't inlikeflynn's workplace ( :P ), so I wanted to just eliminate that issue altogether.
It will be a weekend. Part of the stage I'm at now is selecting the weekend, so if anyone can offer a time that does or does not work, that will give us a starting point.

August and September is looking busy for me now. So October maybe?
October would give me plenty of time to save up for the trip.

Think I'll be around. Was supposed to visit Hoff anyways :)
Also, this may dictate the date. ;)

Sounds like it might be late October, specifically the weekend of the 25th. How does that work (or not work) for people?

To the extent of my knowledge, I have nothing going on that weekend. I'll ask my fiance though.

Nice! That should be fun. I work with a ton of people who either graduated from there or are going there.
Also, if you are considering coming down for a meetup it would be about a 4 hour drive for you. :thumb:

I'm an outdoorsy guy fishing, camping, climbing that sort of thing so I love the location. :D

4 hours actually isn't bad but I don't have a car so I'd need to see if I could take a bus there.

That's a good one. Seriously. I loved those classes.
Where would you be in Eastern WI? I'm about 10-15 minutes outside of downtown myself.
Fox cities. I see that you're down by mke. :thumb: I'm from down there originally, but came up here for work. :)
If you're interested in coming, let me know.

Nice! Yeah, I'm about 15 minutes (normally) from the airport. It's construction season though so going anywhere is like an extra 10-15 minutes -_- I'd definitely be interested in going though when the time comes :D

Do you have a charcoal chimney? If not I will bring a nice one for you. Here is the trick to getting awesome brats when cooking for large crowds. Have beer with onions very coarsely chopped in a slow cooker just low enough that it doesn't boil, cook said brats on grill then put them in the beer. The grill will dry them out but the beer puts it right back in. By keeping the temp above 180 but below 212 the alcohol cooks out but the water don't, for those that have an issue with consuming it. If not it works great to keep them juicy and good flavor.

Not trying to tell him, just offering a method I have used when cooking brats for larger events (around 500 brats). Mind if I bring up some beer from a local micro brewery? If is from Millstream Brewing.
Little back story on this stuff. The first year my dad got a keg for a 4th of July party, everyone was complaining that they don't drink dark beer. Well, 4 hours later the keg was gone. He goes and gets a keg of regular Bud and it was still half full the next morning. But nope, they don't drink dark beer.

There is actually a micro brew in our area called Ozo, otherwise we have the Point Brewery right in my town ^^
Point is good! And there's a place in town here that brews beer, but I'm not sure if you can get it outside of the restaurant.
I will, of course, have some New Glarus. Because Wisconsin. I don't think you're allowed to host an event and not have New Glarus.

Im gonna try to be there, Any one from lacrosse/madison/eauclaire area able to give me a ride? I really don't wana ride bus/ amtrak If its not necessary.
Possibly. Pm me. I am coming from Iowa but might be able to pick you up. The one issue is that it would be a one way trip as we are heading over to MI to visit other friends after.

Tomah, anyone coming from lacrosse would literally be driving through. I can go by amtrak/bus as long as I dont buy any more keyboards for a while :))
Oh yeah, for sure. I'm not aware of anyone coming from there, unfortunately. :( And I think the only one coming from west of you would be Melvang, but that's a bit of a stretch upward, and only one way like he said.

I'm in as you know Hoffbro. And I think 12pm - 6pm would be good. I'm sure we'll end up doing something after too (read as: get frozen custard).
What if I showed up a little early and made creme brulee? Then we wouldn't have to leave. I can even bring me own kitchen torch.

So I am planning on running some cheese through my smoker for the meetup.
Would anyone have any requests.

Is there a for sure time or is it just pretty much whenever to 6pm as that was the only time that seemed remain fixed.
I've tentatively set a time of 1-6pm. No one commented with a preference, so I wasn't sure what to go with. It is, of course, an open door policy, and you can come and go as you please. ;)
Wait I thought I was the wife Hoff 😢

Believe me I know. I have killed my share of salmon in WI, mostly around the Manitowac and Two Rivers areas. Brought many cheeses back home on those fishing trips. The one I remember the most was the fudge cheese, or was it cheese fudge?? Either way I will be bringing smoked cheese, along with a signature baked good. I will give two hints.
It is cooked in a 9x13 baking dish, I believe I have posted the recipe here on GH.

Unfortunately, they use a different blend for their regular coffee in the US...makes me sad. It's still passable, but nowhere near as good as their canadian blend.

Let's get this straight right now guys. I'm willing to bet no one has actually had pumpkin on its own. The flavor you love is nutmeg and cinnamon with a **** ton of sugar probably. #Basic
This is true, as straight pumpkin is ****ing disgusting. But it's easier to name and market "pumpkin spice" than it is cinnamon and nutmeg. Makes it feel seasonal.

Learned a lot and saw some sweet boards.
And big thanks to the SF crew for humouring my idea to hangout together, even though it kind of flopped. :)) it was still fun to get an extension of both meetups and see you guys.

No group picture?
We totally forgot to so a group picture, but I think some people in SF may have taken some pics during the call.
I hope you will accept this picture of myself, CBA, and exitfire as consolation.

I'm on my last flight home now. Shoutouts to HoffmanMyster for hosting us. His listening room is incredible (I'm insanely jealous of those ESP950s) and he's really good at Hey You Pikachu. I had an amazing time. Really enjoyed meeting everyone and I hope to see you in Chicago!
But seriously, next year, let's have a meetup in one of the Lambeau Field suites. GB anyone?

That's more turnout than it seemed like from the photos. And to such a far-fetched location!
Would have been better if prdlm2009 was able to come. Perhaps next meetup you will have some spare time and not have such a busy sched.
I didn't know I had fans. Thanks. I'm try to make them, but pre-existing commitments for this one/lack of will for others.

Exactly! I was worried that being so much further north than Chicago, and even Milwaukee, would discourage a lot of people, but I was very pleased with the turnout. :) Thanks again for making the long trek, everyone!

Sure did! A couple people weren't fans of the fruity flavor, but overall we all enjoyed it. ;)

Thought it was pretty decent. My 2nd time having it. Liked it better this time than last, but I've also developed more of a taste for fruity beers in the last year.
