sorry if this isnt the most appropriate section to post this in, i know most people dont check the local 5 pages of posts every week.



Hey all..



Im not sure of a date yet, does anyone have a better weekend than another? Im thinking the 3rd weekend in JULY, 23rd which is a saturday. It will be held in atco, NJ which is more south jersey at my moms place because she actually has a grill to use and has a pretty big pool. It could be a pool party for anyone wanting to go swimming as well. A couple buddies of mine i know will show up that live close to that area. They both will most likely bring some fancy "meatless" burgers and stuff like that. I can get vegan potato salad etc. stuff like that made too. If anyone would like to bring something, please email me or post here first just so 3 people dont have salad or potato salad and we dont have a diverse arrangement of food then



I am inviting a few of my friends, a couple are on here too, if you have any "meateater" friends lol, you may bring a husband/wife or b/f g/f if you like, since there wont be any meat type products so if they would like to try anything, thats fine. My mom eats meat but she has always eaten a lot of foods i eat and i guess her being 50 just takes her a while or years to just stop eating her crap lol.



For directions, please ask, ill post basic directions from different areas. I hope this is enough notice, about a month, for people to try and plan for that day. Most likely it will be hours of noon time until whenever or about 6pm. I know some people live farther say in North Jersey or PA, DE, you may still come, its not too bad, just take the major highways. You can get to the house from RT73 in New jersey, 206, 295, ac expressway... all are somewhat around it. Any questions or ideas, feel free to ask, a buddy on this board and his friend have had veggie BBQs before, with only a few people and were pretty neat and basic.... Well have a lot of fun. Im 23, but if your 15 or 50 you can still come

Ah man... I would definitely try to go if I was going to be in the area around that time. As you know, I'm originally from north NJ but I have friends in south jersey so I'm pretty familiar with the area.



Unfortunately, I'll only be down in NJ next week and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get down there in July. I'll let you know tho. Either way, have fun and take a bunch of pictures for VB.

Yeah if you know of a easier date than just let me know, hopefully that date is fine and most people can make it.

So you think just because you won that stupid sexiest vegetarian contest PETA had people will trample over each other just to go to your bbq?



Ok ill be there.

lol, drag Seth with you, he probably hasnt had a good meal in months

Hehe.. I feel sorry for that guy.

Maybe I'll be able to go! I live in north Jersey, but I go to school in south Jersey, so I am there constantly and know my way around. I have no boyfriend to bring...so hopefully if I go, someone from VB that I kind of know who they are will be there.

Frost, you are from West Milford, right? Maybe that's not you...but someone on here said they were from West Milford, which is like 2 minutes from my house.

I only knew one person on here but once you meet some others its pretty easy to get to know more people, depending on how many do show up... its cool to know just a couple vegetarians so you dont feel like your a population of your own lol.

Poor Seth.

I'm from Phillipsburg, sounds inviting, I'm usually busy on weekends anyway, but maybe...really nice of you to invite!!!





John

Nope, not I.

yeah if any of you have vegetarian friends just let me know, should be fine if they come along too

Moved to the 'Patch by ~Brandon. More appropriate here than in the Relationships and Family area.

I live in south jersey.

whereat? i have directions from there too

I was thinking, if enough people say they can definitly come. I might do a tiny raffle thing, if enough people have a local whole foods, I can get say $25/$50 gift cards and then draw a name sometime once most people are all there.. Like a 50/50 but im just looking for enough tickets to cover the "prize"... say $5 a ticket or something.

Who is going to be able to come? Will you be bringing any veggie friends? If you think theyd be interested to try veggie foods, bring them, please email me to let me know if you can come or if you can bring anything, if you know how to cook what you can make... thanks [email protected]
