It is a public park. The cops have the option to be d*cks if they choose, and being North Jersey, odds are they would be.

I think you need a permit for open containers.

At any rate, it's not a major hassle to pour into a solo cup.

Looked last night, and I have plenty of cups for the meet, so no worries.

This meet might actually be pretty well attended.

I think I've got some left over; if not, I'll pick some up, too. I've got one of those Weber starter chimneys, and I'll bring that too - will make lighter fluid unnecessary; can't have our kobe beefburgers tasting like lighter fluid.

Whoa, I got a $h!t ton of charcoal I can bring if I come out. If so, you'll still need to bring that starter thing you talking about. I still have no idea if I'm coming out though, so I'll have to keep everyone posted up until this weekend. I'll also bring beer.

EDIT: Really really DUMB question, the charcoal is like 8 years old, been sitting in the shed, it will be fine, right? Like, it won't be crappy to cook with?

Thank you, Yoda.

I'll pick some up tomorrow. Loading up the car now; I've got:
plates
cups
napkins
aluminum foil
Blackened Voodoo
Dew!
and I'll get tomorrow:
normal, honest burgers & buns
cheese
condiments
onions
charcoal

as far as timing, I had suggested 1pm, and no one said no, so I'd say that's about the time people will start to show up; in this group, the majority tend to be a bit fashionably late (though the fashion we leave to Chucky)

as a reminder:
as you're on Parsonage Road, coming from the mall, you make a left at the light after the mall complex, then we'll be at the first lot that you come to after making your first right into the park

So is there a head count yet?
No Tyro not those kind of heads!
Are the men bringing women, and are the women bringing men?

Just trying to be PC.
Don't want to take a chance at getting fired as Mr. California and informed by Billy who ever that is.

From weather.com - high 77, 30% chance of isolated t-storms. Sounds pretty good to me.

Nello is obviously bringing his "girlfriend"
Rick's wife is forcing him to take her along

Otherwise, I think that everyone else is not bringing a significant other (ie, they are not p*ssywhipped), though there's no reason not to bring someone, except for the bad jokes and Nello's constant flatulence

One needs to actually have a significant other in order to bring them. ahem!
