Yes, we are. I was thinking some hot water and hot coco/coffee and some cold water would be fine. Or OJ.
Thanks for taking care of that, we really appreciate you handling the food.

No problem. Is Jason still picking it all up, or do I need to get it? i added some syrup to the list too.
ALSO, Brian Hawthorn with BRC is 100% onboard. He will be there by noon Saturday. Never heard anything back from USA-All after several attempts.

I thought Jason was on top of the unitizes. Tables, I don't know. Don't you have some fold out long ones? Can you bring those?

I've not been privy to any of the food planning so I honestly can't say. I do have a couple of tables but don't know if I'll have room in my truck for them with the other stuff I'm dragging out. Was hoping someone else had easy access and transport to a couple of tables.

I'll bring our 6' Lifetime table. I hope my griddle gets sent tomorrow or I'll be cooking scrambled eggs or something in my dutch ovens.

Sweet, thanks.
I've been meaning to ask you, Marc. What inputs does the projector have?

- Bountiful, land of rocks
Not sure. It's not an iProjector, though. What are you looking for?
I'll check. I think it's got DVI and HDMI, but I know it has VGA (what is used in the business world most of the time?) Are you talking about the one that has a good bulb or not?

I can bring a very small table (seats 4). It's a plastic lifetime table.
I thought Jason was getting the $ for the food and Stephen was going to purchase it (along with utensils). But don't quote me, you should see what Jason thinks.

Alright guys, we need to get our heads together and button up all the loose ends. This event is bigger than I think many of us anticipated so lets make sure we have all our ducks in a row.
Lets go through a run of show and answer some logistics issues
Friday Night
6PM: People start to arrive. They will make their way through the gate and proceed directly to the offroad park to set up their camp and unload rigs? Will all of our Friday night classes by by the campfire or under the tent or are we going to try and do them in the day garage? How will those that trickle in know how to find us (I don't even know where exactly we will be given our size). I'm OK doing my Friday night class at the offroad park around a fire.
7-10PM: We host our classes, will the projector and laptop for PP presentations be onsite and ready to rock by 7PM? With the larger group and the larger garage, will we need to think about sound systems?
10PM: Assuming classes are in the garages we go back to camp for a campfire/bed
Saturday
8AM: Breakfast. Do we have all the food, utensils, condiments, butter, syrup, salt, pepper, etc, etc covered? Do we have tables for serving? Do we have dishes for serving? Will the paper plates be suitable for eating in your lap (i.e. not the super thin ones). Do we have enough grills/propane? Will we be able so serve 50 people in an hour? That is a fair amount of cooking. Do we have cooks lined up willing to start prior to 8AM?
9AM: Depart w/our chairs for the garage/classroom section.
Noon: Back to off-road part of lunch
1PM: Advanced recovery. I'm going to pair this down to 30 minutes. Its going to be cold and I think we are going to start losing people in the afternoon. If it is running long I'll roll with it but I'll plan to keep peoples attention span for 30 minutes
1:30PM: Advanced spotting and driving: on-course practice. With snow on the course it might limit the amount of open play area but I think everyone can have a good time. with a few hours or play.
3:30PM (or earlier depending on how the weather effects our classes): Recap under the tent. Let it run as long as it needs and then break from there for home. It starts getting dark ~5pm and with no lights at the park we ideally need to be locking the gate behind us around that time.
Anything I'm missing?

I was under the impression that mine would be in the classroom setting per previous discussion. If need be, I can reconfigure, but thats what I've been building mine towards and was hoping for that. We can always leave a sign for people to find us in "X" garage. I don't think a sound system is needed unless your presentation has audio in it. Otherwise, everyone gather around and talk loud.
If Marc is going to be there by 6pm on Friday, we'll be set on the projector. I beleive that is the plan. I'll be running my presentation off my iPad, so I'm good. I think Marc will be bringing his laptop which I assume has PP on it.
So I've got the list up there, I was under the impression that Jason was handleing the purchasing part of the food and bringing the untinzles and dishes. If I need to get all that, I need to know ASAP, I don't want to double buy. We've had an offer from Marc to bring a 6' table and Steve to bring a smaller table as well. I think that should be enough space for serving.
I've got my grill and griddle, so does Marc. I just sent Skippy a PM to make sure he's still planning on bringing his stuff. I can bring another single burner for eggs or something too. If we've got two people starting around 7:30 mixing up the pancakes and prepping the eggs that should give us time to start serving at 8. I'll bring mixing bowles and such.
Last bit sounds good. When you guys break for the classroom at 9 I'll hang back for a bit and get all the breakfast stuff cleaned up.

Sounds good, in that case we need to make sure to have some sign making material. I.e. some pieces of paper, some tape, zip ties maybe to attach to fence, sharpie, etc? Who can handle that?
Sounds good
Why don't you shoot Jason a text or email to double check. I read back through the thread and all I could see was Jason getting the money and you getting the "breakfast grocery list to cover the folks attending and all associated costs". Assuming the associated costs to him was all the stuff needed to serve brekkie?
You guys are the bosses on food, if your good with it I'm good with it.
Sounds like we are in business.
Perfect.

Has anyone verified with Marc that he is coming, and that he will have his projector again? I might have access to one if he doesn't.
Kurt, I'm assuming we'll have the same table and chairs under the tent as last time. Will those still be there?
I think we should bring another fire dish or two. I'll bring mine, along with some firewood, but I don't think one dish will be enough to warm everyone.
I am defending my Thesis on Friday from 1-3 PM but I will still be there early to help set up.
I'm happy to volunteer to help whisk eggs and pancakes and help cook.

Marc has us covered: http://www.rme4x4.com/showthread.php?82275-planning-noob-run-part-2&p=813202&viewfull=1#post813202
No, they are most likely packed away for the winter thus the need for us to bring some tables if nothing else for the presentations and serving breakfast. I thought I highlighted this at our meeting, we are going to have to provide more for ourselves this go around as the park is on hiatus until spring.
Good call, does anyone else have one they can bring?
Marc & Scott, will you guys need cones again?
