celeste17ParticipantHi all, would the forum members like to meet for a get together before the Christmas Holiday’s. I am thinking of a dessert social maybe at someone’s home or maybe at a local hang out. I make a mean pumpkin cheesecake.

FullTiltParticipantI would love to do that.

inactiveMemberThere are MANY forum members I have not had the pleasure of meeting. Dessert would be fun, but I don’t bake. Would it be ok to bring a yummy dessert someone else made? I don’t wanna’ get busted by all the awesome WSB Forum Foodies? ;)

In2theknightMemberYeah, I’m down. I make these really good sandwich cookies called Oero’s. Then Nabisco came along and stole my idea and tried to cover it up by just reversing the name.

ZenguyParticipantLol, Knight you kill me.

JanSParticipantI think it’s a great idea…so…who has a really big house?
Or..does beer go with desserts? There’s alwasy BPP…I bet they’d allow it…
ideas, anyone?
November 24, 2008 at 7:17 pm #647906
JenVMemberhow about upstairs at Big Al’s Brewery? That’s a great space. We could do a potluck type of thing. They do allow private parties up there.
November 24, 2008 at 7:35 pm #647907
JanSParticipantthat would be fun…
November 24, 2008 at 8:09 pm #647908
RSMemberI’d be totally into that, and I second the recommendation for Big Al’s!! The upstairs space is really great and worked well for a potluck on election night. And I’m not just saying that because it’s stumbling distance from my house. :)
November 24, 2008 at 8:26 pm #647909
celeste17Participantwhere is big Al’s? Store bought desserts would be welcomed. Just showing up and having a good time in the only requirement.
November 24, 2008 at 8:57 pm #647910
ZenguyParticipantRS, we can walk home together then. I think Big Al’s is eight blocks from my house.

GinaParticipantCookies, anyone?
November 24, 2008 at 9:59 pm #647912
JanSParticipanthahahaha…you do make the best cookies :)

celeste17ParticipantHi all, we discussed this get together at the book club tonight and a great idea was brought forth. Please bring a donation to the local food bank or a gift card that socialworker can use for his clients. Also instead of just dessert we can make it a potluck and people can bring whatever they would like to bring.
Does anyone know if we can reserve the banquet area of Big Al’s?
The date of December 14th around 3pm was suggested.
November 25, 2008 at 8:02 am #647916
JanSParticipantI think that’s a great idea…and I’ve already put the 14th at 3pm on my calendar :)
Some beer and a late afternoon nosh…nice..and helping out people to boot..what more can you ask for :)
November 25, 2008 at 8:16 am #647917
celeste17ParticipantJan you rock!
November 25, 2008 at 5:48 pm #647918
BayouMemberSounds like fun!
November 25, 2008 at 5:55 pm #647919
JenVMemberCeleste17, I think you would just have to call Big Al’s ahead of time and request the upstairs for a private party.
I love the idea of turning this into a food drive, too. Maybe diapers for West Side Baby as well?
November 25, 2008 at 7:05 pm #647920
JoBParticipantI like the diaper idea as well…
November 25, 2008 at 8:32 pm #647921
celeste17ParticipantDiapers, food and gift cards.
November 25, 2008 at 11:10 pm #647922
WSBKeymasterI’ll keep an eye on this thread but somebody please flag me when you have the time/place finalized, and with the fundraiser angle, we’ll plug it on the home page too, if you don’t mind. That’s a Sunday, right? We might even be meetingless and able to drop by, for pix at least. That’s also sort of the WSB third anniversary (first post was 12/24/05 but we’re also making anniversary fodder out of other dates in December such as “going public”).
November 26, 2008 at 1:51 am #647923
FullTiltParticipantBig Al’s already has a big barrel set up for Food Bank donations. IT is a perfect spot.
November 26, 2008 at 2:01 am #647924
JoBParticipantwho is contacting big al’s?
