We're having our July general meeting one week early on Wednesday July 18th so we can mix things up a bit.
Join us as we combine our regular Drupal meetup with Intermedia Arts artist-in-residence Robert Karimi's deliciously fun Open Kitchen event which happens at the same time as ours each month. We've been threatening all year to come together -- now we're making good.
Open Source Meets Open Kitchen Grill Off!
We'll meet outside (weather permitting) in the courtyard behind Intermedia Arts to grill, eat, drink and socialize. Teams will be created mixing Drupal folks with Open Kitchen folks. Prizes will be awarded by committee of The People in 4 categories: Vegetables, Starch, and Protein, and best overall. Bring something to grill from your culture (however you choose to define this), something that goes with grilled food (from your culture), or show up to help a team out -- or just to eat & judge!!
In preparation for making this the greatest meetup ever, we're looking for sponsors. Email team@advantagelabs.com if you can provide:
- grill
- a small donation (up to $50)
- other?
If you're interested in being on one of the grilling teams, email Robert -- we@thepeoplescook.org. You can check out more about Open Kitchen at http://www.intermediaarts.org/artist-in-residence-robert-karimi-open-kit....
We all know that the open source means much more to the local Drupal community than just software. Now let's show everyone what what our community can do away from our computers...

Wish I could make it
I'll be pedaling my way through the miles of the Habitat 500, so I'll miss the fun.
Sounds great
I will bring my famous V-Squared Hash. You'll have to come to find out what that entails.
Who else? I'm planning to grill some za
It's gonna be a great night! Who else is thinking of coming? I'm thinking of bringing dough and toppings to grill up some Neapolitan style pizzas.
We can still use some people to cook, bring a grill, bring beverages or just be there for the fun. Let us know if you're up for it by signing up on this post and/or emailing team@advantagelabs.com.
Thanks!

Hoping to Be There
I hope to be there. It would be a nice break from campaigning.
I may have an entry in the meat category. We will see what interesting concoction I come up with to represent Drupalistas.
I might also bring some beverages from my last trip to Vine Park.
Nice!
Barbecues are a campaigning tradition, right? Pressing the flesh and grilling the flesh are only a bed of charcoal's distance away from each other. Bring it on.

Grillin'
I'd love to join - I could bring beverages. Any requests?
Great!
No specific requests. Got some favorites? Bring 'em! Are you interested in being on a grill team? Doesn't mean you need to bring the food...

Grill Team
What does it mean to be on a grill team?
grill teams
The idea was to set up a friendly grilling competition. Teams of 4 -- comprising both Drupal group members and Open Kitchen participants -- will be chosen and given a grill to come up with their own concoction which will be judged by a "panel of the people."
For this to work, we need people willing to be on one of the 4-person teams. Not everyone needs to be "grill master," just willing to help come up with a plan for cooking up something tasty and getting it done and to the "judging table" within an hour (6-7PM).
We have some people who've said they'd bring something to grill and willing to be on a team that will cook it up.
Sound like something you'd be interested in? Have something you'd like to cook up or would you rather be a supporting team member? Remember, there are prizes...

Fun!
Sounds like fun! I'm no grill master, but I could help. I think my husband may join as well.
See you then!
All are welcome. No one will be checking grillmaster credentials at the door ;) I'll put the two of you done as grill participants. Thanks!

We're on for tonight -- rain or shine!
The rain today is not dampening our plans. We have tents! Anything short of a downpour means cooking outside as planned. Downpour means moving inside and cooking on portable equipment. So, join us and bring your ingredients, bevs, or whatever you are planning to bring. It's gonna be epic, so show up no matter what.
