BBQ 2007

[BlurOfSerenity]

i know centennial park (which might technically be in ellicott city, but if it is, it's darn close to columbia) has pavillions and such, and i think a lake too. patapsco state park could also work well too, also it's more near hotels on rt 40 if people don't want to camp. i don't know about alcohol either though... i wish they had a page about rules and regulations on their site.
whats oregon ridge?

 

[FluerVanderloo]

Oregon Ridge is one of MD's big parks. The only problem is that it's up near Towson.

Centennial Park may be a good idea. Can we contact them about alcohol?

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

here is the centennial park page : http://www.co.ho.md.us/RAP/RAP_HoCoParksCentennial.htm
it says alcohol is allowed in pavillions "by permit", which i'm not sure what means. it also closes at dusk, and barbecue grills might be hard to get (you can't bring your own)
i don't have a problem with towson, it might actually be easier for some people to find... what info do you have on oregon ridge?

 

[FluerVanderloo]

Sorry, it's Hunt Valley-ish.

From what I can tell there are a lot of pavilions we could use. It's a huge park as well; I've only been once but I remember how much space it had.

Not sure about alcohol. I can contact them if need be.

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

yes, that seems like a prime candidate. if you could contact them that would be awesomes

 

[FluerVanderloo]

Alrighty friends, Oregon Ridge Park was contacted. I requested any information I may need including fees and such, and I also asked about the alcohol policy.

Does this park seem to work for most people? If so, let's set a date?

Here's the OR link for reference: http://www.co.ba.md.us/Agencies/recreation/countyparks/oregonridgelodge/

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

bump! when do we want to set a date!

september sometime? or is that too soon? or do we even want to do this at all at this point?

 

[FluerVanderloo]

I'm still in for it... Oregon Ridge never contacted me back though. I guess it's an open park, so as long as we're not giving alcohol to minors or anything it's ok.

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

im still in, too. anyone else?

 

[Altron]

yep!

 

[unclehobart]

Did we do it? 2007 is coming to a fast close. School is in, noone has any cash, half of us are dead or dying... the odds seem bleak.

Dare we unsticky?

 

[Nixy]

I was gonna go to Prof's that coulda counted in a pinch but he whole calgary thing threw me off, I've lost rack of time since that surfaced

That's what toques and parkas are for.

 

[unclehobart]

I'm fairly immune to the cold. I'm just more concerned for having shorter days, little foliage, icy roads. Its a little drab, no? I really don't see us running up to the ski slopes. We would have to hang out inside somewhere, or do a mondo three day pub crawl.

 

[tonksy]

That's what toques and parkas are for.

Um...no thank you.

 

[Stop Laughing]

Clock's running out here too. I've already used my vacation, plus most of my sick/personal days (lousy year *grumble*), and getting time off in Nov/Dec is difficult. I'd say 'better luck next year', but I always say that (see my avatar).

Any sort of plans for a 2008 BBQ? Or has the idea pretty much passed its prime now?
