Hey all, just putting some feelers out there for this year's end of the year party/Awards banquet.
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
Do we want to wait until Superbowl again?
Do we want to do it out at the ASU/UofA Game on November 30th?
Post up & let's see what we can put together.
If you are interested in Sponsoring and/or hosting this event, please message me as well.
-
I would like to do it before the end of the year, but I will be out of town for the ASU.UofA game.
-
Vote 2 for before the end of the year. I think Superbowl is a long wait to get the results.
-
We will be there with enough notice!!
-
No later than the second weekend in January.
-
I think it should be in the same year. so Nov. or Dec. Plus, I want to find out!!!! Damit!! :angel:
-
Week Day or Weekend work better?
Here are the dates currently available.
Sunday, Nov 3rd
Sunday, Nov 10th
Friday, Nov 15th
Saturday, Nov 16th
Saturday, Nov 30th (At the ASU vs. UofA Game) We can do this out at the game or find a place that has the game on TV & see if we can take up a large portion of it.
Friday, December 27th
Saturday, December 28th.
Understand, I am actively working to secure vending gigs for these dates, so if we are going to do it any of these dates, we have to lock in the date, location & sponsors ASAP.
Thoughts???
-
I vote for nov 3rd or the 10th.

FYI. Saturday, Nov. 16th is Turkeyfest at BBQ Island. My son and I will be cooking as well as, I believe, several other AZ Barbeque-affiliated teams.

Thanks Mark, I will have to get that on the Calendar as well.

Mike, the day of ASU / u of a game for a venue, do you think Hob Nob would be big enough or central enough to hold the party, located 52nd St & Chandler Blvd about 2 blocks east of I-10? I can talk to the owner about reserving a portion for seating.
-
We are doing Turkeyfest as well on Nov 16th and we are doing Laughlin and would be tuff to make a Nov 3rd date. I should be good most every other weekend though.

Chuck, they would have to verify they have the game on that day, can't go to a place that doesn't. & they would have to donate a few gift cards for our raffles.
Let me know.
-
I can check on that stuff. How many seats would you guess we might need?

You never can tell. Probably at least 20 - 30
-
If you can wait, my place should be open by the 2nd week in January. I'd be honored to open up on a Sunday for the event. My only issue is space indoors. I think we're going to have room for around 20 inside but we'll have a ton of room outside.
-
That's Awesome Scott - Where will your place be located?

I'm in favor of having it at Scott's new place.
-
What better place than a new restaurant owned by one of our own. I can wait for Scott's place to open.

Smitty, it's just west of the 143 on University. It's in that business area about 3 miles west of ASU and about 5 from downtown Phx. Our focus is lunch only so I'm not worried about there being little to no residential in the area. We also want to use only offsets so it's been a serious pain finding a location 300' away from any residential buildings. The place has an 850 SF building and two shade structures. One structure will house two large offsets while the other one will have seating. We plan on bringing in about 6 or 7 trees and a few shade sails with picnic tables for additional outdoor seating. The building is a stand alone and it has a small kitchen in place so it should be a fairly easy process with the MCHD. At least I think it will be with my numerous talks with the county. I figure we'll be able to seat ~ 20 - 25 inside. I'm ridiculously excited but right now. Our lease was signed about 3 or 4 weeks ago but I'm in a holding pattern waiting for our public hearing on the 14th to get our use permit for outdoor cooking from the COP. If we don't get that, well, I'm back to square one.
-
I would vote for waiting for Scott's place to open. I can't think of any better place I would like to be.
-
I like the idea of holding it at Scott's place as well. It sounds terrific! ;D Even if it's not up and running because of rules & regs, we have enough folks to put together one heckuva pot luck. ;) ;) 8) 8) :P
-
I Love it, Scott's new place and him being our current AZBarbeque Triple Crown Team of the Year team passing it one to the new team. PERFECT!!
-
Sounds good to me we have too much catering and several vending events in Nov. and Dec. hard to get away during the holidays.
-
For Scott's new place, we will most certainly make the 4hr round trip to wish him good luck.
-
I'm in for Scott's place!
-
Sounds great! I'll get with Mike after my public hearing about a date. Any Sunday after the second weekend in January should work.
-
That is Awesome!! Thank you Scott for doing this. I think we should try to bring in some business for him too. I will let every one I know about the new BBQ joint opening up in Tempe!! Do you have some details or Grand Opening info for us to pass on Scott? Maybe Pool Kings (or if you need some rubs ;)...Swimmin' in Smoke) can help sponsor your new BBQ adventure!
-
Sadly, we wont be able to make it regardless of the date....but, I'd definitely give my vote to holding at Scott's place.
-
Scott's has my vote too!
-
Any word on a date?
