Veggie Side Dish

Will bring a veggie side dish... not exactly sure what yet. but will bring something tomorrow.

Start time

Susan Getgood — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:32:33 -0500

We'll probably start the grill around 3:30.

I thought I replied to this.

I thought I replied to this. Weird. I'll bring veggies and dip so kids (and adults) can munch on their favorite finger veggies. I was going to bring nametags, but now I'm off the hook. =}

I'll planning on arriving between 3 and 3:30 if we're not grilling til 4. That will give me time to do some prep around here for the party the following day.

My daughter's birthday is tomorrow, too. She'll just be an incorrigable two.

We love kids!

Salad/side dish and brownies sounds terrific. We've got plenty of soda and lemonade, so it's only if you want something stronger :-) that you need to bring.

List

Susan Getgood — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:16:35 -0500

I've been keeping a count but not a list, although I have asked everyone to RSVP on the thread somewhere. Most are in this post, with a few on my profile page because they couldn't register and a couple on other posts in the group.

If you want to make a list, go for it, but I think just blanks and markers is easier.

I still have to clean my house :-)

Nametags

Susan,

If you give me a list of people I can makeup some name tags and bring some blank ones for the stragglers :)

The whole fam damily

Daddy Scratches — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 08:11:40 -0500

It was either leave early, or bring the kids with us ... so the kids are coming with. (One boy who turns 6 tomorrow, one girl who turns 4 next month).

So, 2 adults, 2 children, por favor.

Anything specific we can bring, or just salad/side dish? (And whatever we're drinking, of course; the kids are heavy boozers.) Wife makes *spectacular* brownies, if that works as our contribution.

Why not? But. . .

you'll have to proclaim your love for the Red Sox and disdain for the Yankees to be admitted.

(j/k! it's not my house! but, I hope you come; it'd be nice to meet you)

Never feel guilty

Susan Getgood — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:44:10 -0500

Totally wasted emotion.

Yes we can do nametags. Would you be willing to pick up some - just the sticky label kind-- we have markers.

Food - bring salad or side dish of some kind. I bought chips, salsa & potato chips with our grocery money from Springpad and Peapod. Plus the meat rolls & such but no sides

Any swag you have is great -- it would be nice if every family left with something !

Speaking of door prizes Westport Rivers Winery is sending a gift certificate for a private winetasting & tour for 10 people. Pretty nifty, yes? It's an awesome prize so I will be writing something about them shortly.

Sigh

MoreThanMommy — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:21:23 -0500

Now I feel horribly guilty... my son isn't going to be joining us after all! My husband wanted to send the kids away for Friday night so he could get some stuff done and I agreed because I was going to leave my youngest home with him. That said, Home Free cookies are SO good, you'll be thanking me that there will be more for you!

I will now definitely be there, though, and I can't wait. Is it too dorky to do nametags? If not, can we please? =}

Susan, do you need anything else specific in terms of food? I have some leftover swag from my Mom's Nite Out this past weekend. I've got very cool bags from Pogo.com (with games inside, of course) and some passes to the NH Children's Museum.

Possible fall meetup

Susan Getgood — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 07:54:29 -0500

Sorry you can't make it Saturday.

Springpad, one of our sponsors, has expressed interest in hosting a meetup in the fall, and there's no reason we can't continue to do this periodically on our own.

My house, door prizes

Susan Getgood — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 07:52:01 -0500

Just a reminder - my house is 171 White Pond Rd. in Hudson MA.Tel. 978 562 5979

Blue with cranberry shutters. Scottish terrier on mailbox, scottish terrier windmill on roof, stone scottie statue in front yard. Hard to miss.

In addition to our driveway there is some off-street parking up the road from our house. We'll try and mark it with balloons or something. Obviously, do not pull into a space where you will be blocked in if you have to leave at a certain time.

We've been collecting door prizes -- just bring whatever you have, for kids or adults, and we'll do a round up afterward so the donors get a little love.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Maybe to a No - maybe a Central CT/MA meet up after Blog Her?

Backpack to Buggy — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 07:50:09 -0500

Regretfully our furniture is scheduled to arrive on Saturday, so our maybe for 2 adults and one kid is going to have to be no.

I just came across this GREAT group... totally new blogger! Had no idea the 'world' out there! My husband, myself, and our 1 year old will be there.

I'm calling it:: Boston Area Meet-up June 13, 2-6pm

Susan Getgood — Wed, 27 May 2009 08:19:33 -0500

I'm calling it folks. We'll never find a date that works for everyone, but the 13th seems to be okay for most.

When:

Saturday June 13, 2-6 pm. And if you come a little before 2, that's fine.We'll fire up the grill around 4pm

Where:

171 White Pond Rd. Hudson MA

Who:

Boston Area BlogHers, spouses/partners and children. BlogHims too!

We may have a sponsor to cover some of the food costs (YAY, and more on that when it is final) so we need the attendee count sooner rather than later. Hopefully, the sponsor will be able to cover burgers, buns and fixins, and everyone can bring a favorite salad or sweet. Plus your beverage of choice.

Firm count so far.

SGetgood: 2 adults, 1 child

Fairly Odd Mother: 1 adult, 3 children (smiling)

RSVP in the comments to this post, and include yourself in the adult number!
