MAZOC 2013 [SUNDAY] Caravan to ZDayZ - Register Here!!!

Alright, I need to get this crap organized. I'm stressed the f*ck out.

1) To make things easier, I think the Sunday night dinner is just going to be something simple but delicious. Home made burgers, brats, whatever. It will taste great regardless and I don't have to stress on getting an accurate headcount of who all I need to feed that night (major props to Jon & Pat for doing this two years in a row). Going to try to coordinate with Jay on what deliciousness we can bring en mass and grill grill grill.

2) I will bring both 18" grills which will be enough to cook for all of us. I need people to pledge to bring charcoal. I know Aniceh pledged one bag. If we can get a couple others to pledge a bag we should be good.

3) Working on a dinner responsibility schedule. So far we have:

Sunday: Burgers/Dogs/Watev - Steve/Jay
Monday: Tilapia - Aniceh
Tuesday: OPEN
Wednesday: Meatloaf - Dana
Thursday: OPEN
Friday/Saturday: ZDayZ Banquet

Al, Chris, and Aniceh: I know you both offered to do dinner one night. I have three nights open. Can you each claim a night and let me know what you're planning so I can put it down on the list?

4) For lunch, we're going to be grilling standard lunch fares... frozen burger patties, hot dogs, whatever. We also have the Wilwood grill which I'm sure we'll grab lunch at a time or two.

5) Everyone should bring at least one citronella candle so we can have them going all week

6) As of right now the Cherohala Skyway cruise is scheduled for TUESDAY morning and the famous Clingman's Dome cruise/hike is scheduled for THURSDAY. BRING GOOD WALKING SHOES

I know there is more I need to iron out but I'm trying to have everything sorted by this Wednesday. Also trying to keep in mind that we don't have to bring EVERYTHING down with us food related, as we have access to grocery stores about a 30 minute drive out.

I'm with you. I get stressed if I don't have a plan, even if that plan is to have no plan.

Easy Sunday night dinner sounds great. Everyone is going to be tired and still in the process of getting settled. You can't sing the praises of Jon and Pat enough. Setting up a group dinner the day of arrival is no small feat, and I'm sure they've done it with the good humor they always have.

I'm going to test-fit the Z tomorrow with everything I intend to bring. I may be able to bring two 20-lb bags of charcoal, since I don't have a passenger. I'll let you know how it looks tomorrow night.

I'll take Monday night. I'd like to cook some sort of fish, and while fresh is my preference, I may have to settle for frozen, given location. I can do tilapia loins, basmati rice and broccoli, if that's agreeable to enough of the group. I just need to know how many to buy for. I'll bring as much as I can and use local shopping options for the rest.

I'll be sure to pick up a couple citronella candles.

I plan on making a Costco run this week, and I can get a **** ton of paper plates, plastic flatware and napkins. I can also get a bunch of buns for burgers and brats, if needed. Just let me know.

Whatever you would like to make sounds good to me. I'll put you down for Monday night.

A solid head count for the group would be great. I think Al might be +2, and Daisuke might be hanging with us as well. I'll need to check in with him and also get an update from Al so we know how many to expect. I know starting around Wednesday is when we start to pick people up (Steve picks Deb up from the airport, Lou & Laura show up), and Thursday we get even more.

If you can bring some paper plates, flatware, napkins, buns, etc, that will be great. Don't go overboard as I think we have some to bring as well.
