Oh, c'mon....
Take a half day off, we'll party before the show at my place, the show will be over at 11, you can crash at my place and be at work at a decent hour the next day.

[MrWhippy]

So Rob, when does the pre-party start?  I'm considering taking  the whole day off.

No later than breakfast and perhaps the night before

[manonthemoon]

So pickles and Syrah, IIRC from Port Chester.

Pickles and Syrah for breakfast sound like a good way to get the day started.  I'm doing a Syrah mix with Grenache right now.
And what is "IIRC"?

The pickle supply is getting critically low, however.  I'm going to have to put a lock on my basement fridge to stop the poaching. My own family members are raiding the supply without my knowledge and giving away jars as gifts to win friends and influence!

There is hope, however, since I just planted a bunch of cukes in the garden so maybe we can have a "2013 Pickles Nouveau" party as well by the time of the MPP show.

IIRC = if I remember Correctly

You know you can never trust family with the good things in life,  .

I am sure we'll be able to improvise with other goodies if the crop doesn't come in time,  .

I just checked the work schedule and someone on my team is out that week, so no time off for me that week.  I appreciate the offer though!!   

[GO4IT]

OK, getting pumped from reports of the first two shows. Will be an exciting tour!  Certainly there must be more forum folks for the MPP roll call.

Good news!  With all the rain, the cukes are going nuts.  Will have the earliest pickling batch ever this weekend and that should set us up nicely for a "2013 Pickles Nouveau" and lots of other eats event at the pre-party at my place.  Plan on things to get fired up around noon in advance of the show.

[manonthemoon]

That's good news Rob.

Man these first two set lists have been everything I could of hoped for given it is a shorter set.  The only one repeat in two days and pulling out a lot of things from the first two albums is awesome.  I had to add another date for the Camden show after seeing those.  Can't wait for this.

[GO4IT]

Hard to fit this in today but when the cukes come you must get it done.

Here are the cukes harvested from my garden the last couple of days plus some hot peppers and other ingredients.



And here's the finished product as of a few minutes ago - AmericanramA edition for the "Pickles Nouveau" pre-party opening on July 23.

[MrWhippy]

Awesome, Rob.  Can't wait.

[jaye]

Wow those are gorgeous!

[manonthemoon]

Awesome, Rob.  Can't wait.

+1

[APR]

I might have to change my work schedule to make at least part of the festivities.  What time do you think you'll leave your house to head to the show?

[GO4IT]

Probably will leave for the show no more than an hour ahead of show time since we're so close and have seats. Festivities start around high noon.

[GO4IT]

In case you need another reason to show up at Merriweather.....
