May Southside GTG 5/21

[evil jose]

OK, here is a map to the Pavilion (#3), it's circled in yellow. It's further away from the gate but at least you do not have to drive all the way through the other picnic areas.

Also please remember that there is a $10 fee to enter the park.

http://www.dfwstangs.net/coppermine/albums/userpics/10134/pavilion3.gif

Here is a list of things we need, please post up what you can help bring. Please note that if someone is signed up to bring something like sodas or cookies doesn't necessarily mean there will be enough for everybody. Realistically, I'd like to see a couple of people signed up to bring the same items, I'll label those in red with green meaning it's covered or taken care of.

[ALLAN]

21st works for me.

[evil jose]

21st works for me.

Anyone else? My only problem would be if there is a Mav's game that day or not :D

[mild2002gt]

any weekend is fine for me

[Da Prez]

whenever is cool with me...

[evil jose]

OK, let's try for the 21'st then. I'll try and make arrangements for tomorrow.

[EW]

21st is a big corvette event @ TMS. There's usually lots of nice rides to look at.

[darkROAM_1]

[evil jose]

Joe Pool Lake normally.

[evil jose]

OK, got the pavalion rented out but couldn't get our normally one and had to settle for pavalion 3 on the far end of Lynn Creek Park. It's not to bad and it's a lot closer to the 1 but not sure if it's good for the kids to be walking around in it. Good for fishing I'm sure as I saw quite a few boats near by.

Some quick pics I took with my camera phone. Sorry for the quality.

[evil jose]

One more.

[sassystang]

How many people normally come to this? And ya'll bring kids? :confused:

[BOOSTED32V]

I'm in fo sho this time, I just don't need to be playing poker til 4am the night before :o :) ...'H'

Oh and BTW Lisa we all bring our kids, they have a blast...

[mild2002gt]

How many people normally come to this? And ya'll bring kids? :confused:
i think there's usually 15-20, and yes some kids are up there

[BOOSTED32V]

Food, beer, lake, poker, beer, whats there not to like...'Henry

[ScottEvil]

It's on like Donkey Kong :D

[evil jose]

OK, so we are on for Sunday May 21 at Pavalion 3 in Lynn Creek Park. Pavalion 3 is on the far end of the park compared to where we are normally. What time do you guys want to get things started? Noon? 1pm?

[Da Prez]

Food, beer, lake, poker, beer, whats there not to like...'Henry

as long as you bring lisa, its all good... :D

12ish-1pm sounds good to me...

[EW]

In. I may be a little late.

Damn, I feel like fishing, but its been so long since I've fished fresh water, being from south texas,nothing but the Playa. What bait should I bring, and what kind of fish is stocked? That means I have to go buy some tackle now :( I have nothing but heavy tackle.

She said she's coming, so me and HP & Lisa will be there around 12:00ish. Jose send me a PM, let me know what we need to bring and how much to pitch in for the Pavillion...'Henry

<------Lives on plastic :o

[ALLAN]

I'll get a list going shortly. No need to pitch in on the Pavillion, it's bought and paid for by our bitching of the conditions on the last Southside GTG :D Hopefully things will be better this time.

[ScottEvil]

put me down on the list for sodas and desserts :D




@ jtrevino2003. Fishing from the bank sucks, doubt you will have much luck with the heavy boat traffic and all the swimmers in the area. Now if you have a boat or float tube you can do some damage........but not near the gtg.
For bass on that lake i have great luck with a clear/speckled grub texas rigged in the grasses or running a snagless sally spinner bait across the top of the hyd'
For sand bass(white bass for all you central south texas mofos) nothing beats a roadrunner jig or 2-3" white jig.
Catfish I don't know but I am sure normal stuff would work.
Lotsa of carp around there too and I have some secret tricks for them if you are fishing just for the sport of it.
Allen knows the lake better than me(i have only fished it twice) but I know what works for me. I am sure he has some good tips :cool:

[ALLAN]

The cove just around the corner can be pretty good at times. If you really want to catch some fish your best bet will be carp and cats.

I was thinking about bringing some cats and crappie to fry up. Sound good to anyone else??

Crappie sounds awesome to me, my absolute favorite freshwater fish to eat.

[ALLAN]

Sounds like a plan. I will bring some fish, batter, hushpuppies, a Fry Daddy, and drinks.
I don't want to run out of food this time.

[darkROAM_1]

Anything for me and mild to bring?

[evil jose]

So you guys getting up there early to do some fishing?

I've updated the first post with more info.

[BOOSTED32V]

I'll bring homemade potato salad, Fajita meat, sausage & assorted chips and some of Lisa's baddass salsa ...'H'

Poker Chips as wellg :cool:

[darkROAM_1]

who's fishing? I don't fish anymore. No license. Haven't fished in years anyhow.

Anywho, I'l tell mild to look at the list and decide what he wants us to bring.

[mild2002gt]

sign us up for water, plates, paper towels

[evil jose]

OK, got the list updated. Still need a few things if someone can help out.

We are still weak on the charcoal, if someone else can help bring another bag that would really help me out. Doesn't hurt to have to much charcoal but with all the stuff I'm bringing I'll probably only be able to bring one. If we get to many bags we can always use it for the next cookout.

Looks like we also need some more people bringing desserts, dip for the chips (I'll be bringing the spicy guacamole SP?), and maybe some sort of side dishes to munch on before the meat gets cooked.

Things are looking good for the weekend, looks like we are going to have some great weather. We are looking pretty organized this time and shouldn't forget anything. I may bring a small TV to watch any NBA games on and possible a fan if it looks like it's going to be to warm.

[CobraChic]

Well damn... what will the girls do if there is no water to swim in?!?!

Im sure we will figure out something... or just walk to the side that we can swim in.hehehe.

[darkROAM_1]

If I remember, I might make some dip. I call it pink dip. good stuff.

[Rafa]

Fiancee(sp) and I will be up there. We'll bring some charcoal. Let me know if there is a specific kind you want. Was thinking regular mesquite charcoal, but if you want the charcoal light that's cool. I'll even bring a couple of ice chest's if we still need them.

[ScottEvil]

Cool, I'll put you down for charcoal and ice chests (never hurts to have an extra one handy). Mesquite charcoal is perfect, thanks bro.

Ya, we are really close to the water now. Pretty far from the beach though :(

[BOOSTED32V]

I'll be bringing some extra bags of Ice as well, you can never have enough of the cold stuff :) ...'Henry

[Rafa]

Also put me down on some hot sauce....It'll be some Joe T Garcia stuff (hot). Love that stuff.

[BOOSTED32V]

[ScottEvil]

Damn, I gotta dig a 70' trench 4"wide tomorrow morning and run a sewer line for a bathroom addition I am trying to finish this weekend. Probably won't get there until @ least 1:30 :D Can't wait to get paid :cool:

[92special]

You do NOT want me making anything or cooking anything, just ask ALLAN. But I will buy some food and drinks to bring.

[evil jose]

Awesome! Should be a great turnout and a nice day to be out at the lake!

[Da Prez]

I'm so excited she's cuming, I'm leaving my wife at home ;) :D ...'Henry


just bring her, ill keep her busy... :D

c is cooking now and we will be there around 1230-100...

[darkROAM_1]

I think I overate. It was all so good. That fish really hit the spot, too. Next time, forks definately need to be on the list. :D

[mild2002gt]

yeah the fish was great(thanks allan) but i just tried the catfish.
this GTG has been getting more fine tuned, great food, side dishes, desserts, etc.
i liked this location better than the others but next time i will try to bring some dominos b/c i suck at any card games.
it was great meeting some new faces today

[ALLAN]

Glad ya'll liked the fish. You just can't beat fresh crappie and catfish. Sorry I didn't bring more and we ran out.

[darkROAM_1]

^^^hahaha, Stargate sig. That's awesome. I think I only got to try the catfish. We are getting better at this each time. I do agree w/ everyone when saying that spot is quite a bit nicer overall.

[BOOSTED32V]

I just got home we almost closed the park down! Yes the food was delicious so was the fish, thanks Allan, other than running out of forks everything was right on time. The fajitas and tablitas were off the hook (thanks for cooking Alex), all the side dishes as well, shit I wish we could do it once a week! ;) The weather was very pleasant, and the new location was SWEEEEEET, and for those that left early the Bikini contest was WOOOOHOOOO!!!! :eek: :o :D
Fun times, the card game was pretty good too (I won the first Texas Hold'em game, Shelbi the second :mad: ) it was good to hang with my dfwstang peeps, I believe I'm owed a table dance or two also ;) ...'H'

[ScottEvil]

Good food and good people and of coarse Shelbi ;)

[Da Prez]

best gtg so far and getting better everytime...

great food, cold beer, and great friends...

i cant wait till the next one...

[evil jose]

I think personally this was the best GTG to date. Great company, great food, great weather, it couldn't be beat today.

The list is definitely getting fined tuned for the best and today proves it (other than the small miss on the forks and spoons). We had more than enough food and enough side dishes including dessert. The only thing was that I only ate two tacos and a piece of cat fish (which was good). I missed out on the crappy.

My only regret was being on the bike and not being able to fully enjoy my alcohol consumption. Although me and Jet made up for it. Hell, I just stopped drinking 45 minutes ago and just finished warming up some left over fajita and some flour tortillas :D

Today's Southside GTG was bad ass. Like I said, best turnout to date. Good seeing some new faces along with some old faces. As far as the location, I think this pavalion is the best to use at Lynn Creek but I'm going to take a look over at Cedar Hill State Park and see what they have to offer. Might be cheaper and better location. More info to follow on that in a couple of weeks as I'll be out of town this weekend.

Again, just wanted to personally thank everybody for showing up. I had a great time and the food was great. Thanks for everybody pitching in on the food, drinks, and other misc. items. That's what makes it easier to do these things ever month. Special thanks to Alan and company brining out the catfish and crappy (sp?). Although I missed out a chance to try the crappy the catfish was awesome :D Special thanks to Alex for cooking, sure beats me slaving over the grill :D

Oh. And I just wanted to say thanks for the bikini contest photo shoot ;)

[evil jose]

BTW, check out this info I found out on Cedar Hill State Park.

1 - Group Picnic Pavilion (capacity 100):
$85 per day.

1 - Group Picnic Pavilion (capacity 50):
$65 per day.

* Excess Vehicle Parking (number restricted at some parks.): $4
* Activity Use Fee Per Person (day or overnight): $5
* Penn Farm Interpretive Tour Fee: $2 per adult; $1 per student
* Annual Marina Access: $45 original; $15 duplicate


Seems like we can get the pavalion for cheaper and the vehicle charge is cheaper as well. I'll check it out in a couple of weeks.

[evil jose]

Mmmmm... Shelbi... She's a nice girl :D

Cool Stargate sig. I don't think I've ever noticed it before. One of my favorite Sci-Fi shows.

Man.... I'm drunk and I need to go to sleep :D

the prices are sweet... now if we can get one with easy water access like this last one, then it would be perfect...being able to see the kids the whole time, was a huge factor, for allowing me to have a good time...

[Rafa]

1st GTG for me. Finally met some of ya. Everybody there was cool. And did ya say bikini's.....DAMN!!!! Definetly(sp) will hit up some more GTG's. Hey, Jose did Raymond(wannabe Ichiro) ever show up, if he did or not, I'm still gonna give him a hard time.

I think the state park is $5 a person to get in versus $10 a car at LynnCreek and Loyd Park.

Allan, have you ever been to that park?

[mild2002gt]

I think the state park is $5 a person to get in versus $10 a car at LynnCreek and Loyd Park.

its cheaper for those that normally go up there alone. But if there was a group(more than 2 people) in one car/truck then its more expensive.
If more people go in groups greater than 2 then it would be best to keep it at Lynn Creek, but if there were more individualists then Cedar Hill side would be best. For me and darkROAM, it doesn't matter b/c we ride in 1 car anyways.

[ALLAN]

Cedar Hill is good if you go alone, but gets expensive for a group of people.
It is a very nice park though.

yeah, that sums up what i was trying to say with much less words

[BOOSTED32V]

I vote for Lynn creek where we were at this past weekend, that was a very nice spot. I would rather pitch in a little more to have that place...'Henry :)

[darkROAM_1]

That, or throw everyone in the trunk! Just not mine, b/c I likes me some corners. :D

Damn you mild, see what we missed!? bah!

[Da Prez]

yea ide rather pay a lil more and have that spot, then go cheaper and not be able to see my kids swim...

[evil jose]

I guess that settles that. I'll still check out the Cedar Hill SP and let you guys know what's up.

[CobraChic]

Do I at least get to see some pics.. DAMNIT!! hahaha..

I had a great time. Great food and I did alright at some Poker. LMAO.
