That very well might be right.

Factory Chef, by the way is doing well in health and happiness. There are some family things coming up that he can't plan on, however, which means he can't commit at this time to a baconfest/shootout at this time. He's up for it if the possibility arises but isn't in a position to commit right now.

Just a quick question, is Iowa still basically where it was the last time I went to IJ (in 2019). Could affect travel plans. No, it’s moved quite a ways to the right. This old lefty feels right at home there. Except the time I drove from Denver to Philly in the coldest night I’ve ever experienced. |

OK, let's not get hysterical. We're still only in discussions. 😃

I think it’s part of the Debt Ceiling Deal. If you don’t come the country defaults.

And whose default would that be?

Sorry folks I have been out of the loop on the upcoming festivities. We (the wife (Deb) and I, along with Paleo) would love to invite you all to 1312 A Ave., Vinton, IA for a pre-party supper and super get together for all of you early arrivals!!!
We are not far from the Cobblestone, and there will be some loose meat sandwiches and other culinary delights to keep us from going hungry! You provide the lively conversation and we will have fun! This will all happen on Thursday, September 7, 2023 from 5:00 PM and go until the wee hours of the morning...okay, just kidding. We go to bed around 11:00 PM. If you stay later, just lock up as you leave! After all, this is Iowa! Hope to see you all!

Just booked a room at the Cobblestone, so I guess I'm committed. (Obligatory straight-line notification.)

I was seriously considering being there but when I looked into the travel details I changed my mind. With regret. Both the time and the expense would be a problem. Some other factors played a part. Oh, well.

Negotiations with other forum member came to a stalemate, so I am currently wavering, waffling, and undecided about attending. Getting to Vinton from here requires either a great deal of air travel/airport layover time and a couple of hours on the road in a rental car, or a shorter flight and five hours on the road in a rental car. It was much easier twenty years ago.

Howard, wouldn’t it be great if there was a direct flight from NYC to Vinton International. Or from Phoenix to Vinton International, Cornflake. I can certainly understand the work it takes to get from your place to Vinton.
I stopped by the Cobblestone to see if there were any other things going on IJ weekend, like a wedding. No, there’s not so rooms should be available. I also saw that some of us have reserved rooms already, which is good.
I realize it’s not possible to get an accurate number of who is planning to attend right now, but I could really use a rough estimate if I could. The reason is that I’m looking around for food ideas for Friday night. The Hitchin’ Post will be closed that weekend as she’s going on vactation, but I’ve got several other ideas. I number I could present to people would be quite helpful, though. Thanks!
