EVENT: 12th Annual SoCalXJ Fiesta Island Picnic – Sat, Aug 23rd, 2014

August, ehh? Day use only, ehh? Means I wouldn't need camping gear, ehh? Hmmm, I wonder if I could get a hall pass to head down there, and then make a gonzo run to Death Valley, and see if Gomer still overheats in the summer?

This sounds interesting enough, with seeing some folks I know, and meeting some folks I don't know to give it a try. You be willing to put up with a ex SoCaler?

Might need a place to crash in SD, but I'll see what I can do to maybe pull this off.

Come on "down" Bricker! This just came out yesterday. I grabbed a couple extra bottles for you. It's only being distributed to two states. California is one. New York is not one of them. Bring some more Creme Brule and/or vintage Ommegong 3 Phil. like an 09 & 10 :D. I have the 08 you gave me plus the 11–13 pack they just released recently.

I'll gladly pay you on Tuesday for as many bottles of WootStout that you can find. My friends at PSR would love a couple of bottles as well.

I do have several 2010 Three Phils, so I can bring one of those out next time. I also have an inventory of Chokolat and Creme Brulee just for you west coasters. Both are only available in late winter / early spring, so I stocked up. I might also bring out a bottle of Ommegang 15th Anniversary, which is a dark quad. It came out in 2012, and was almost only available at the brewery. Priciest bottle of beer I've even purchased.

Mark your calendars!

DATE: Saturday, August 23rd, 2014.

Come one, come all. It's time for the SoCalXJ Fiesta Island BBQ Picnic Potluck Swapmeet Show'n'shine Hootenanny Cavalcade!


This is the 12th year in a row we drive our XJs to the beach during the summer time for some good food, and water play (Jet ski's, boats, kayaks, sandcastles, fire pits, etc). Bring some food for yourself, and some to share (if you like). We can use some tables if you have them.

Feel free to drive your daily drivers, RVs, tow rigs, TJs, whatever, if that's all you have, driving/owning an XJ is not required, it's just encouraged. No, this is not an official SoCal Chapter NAXJA event, think about it folks, this event has been going on longer then the SoCal Chapter existed. This is an official unofficial SoCalXJ Yahoo group event. You don't have to be a member of SoCalXJ.com Yahoo Group to attend.


TIME: Morning until whenever, just show up any time!
Typically, most people arrive mid-day, but people will generally be there sunrise to just before sunset.
Official beach hours are 6am-10pm. Island access does close, with NO CAMPING.


DIRECTIONS/MAP, click on the blue pin, and get directions to: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213636899238715041971.00048d2fe378839f15a18&msa=0

From I-5, take the Sea World Drive exit and head southwest, then make a right onto East Mission Bay Drive, then left to Fiesta Island. There is parking throughout the island.


OFFICIAL FIESTA ISLAND RULES:
NO alcohol OR glass containers.
http://www.sandiego.gov/cityattorney/documents/alcoholban.shtml
http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/parks/regional/missionbay/fiestaisland.shtml
Sorry, San Diego County Municipal Code rules, NOT our Rules. Again, no glass containers, no camping, closes at 10.


POTLUCK SIGN-UP SHEET (Optional, just so we don't get 10 bags of chips):
Coming Soon! Carol, that means you.

Potluck, ehh? I bought a grill that could be delivered to the picnic. Hmm, I wonder what I could set on fire?? One more reason for me to try and figure this out.

Hall pass granted. Arriving late Thursday night, leaving San Diego area moderately early Sunday morning.

Now, to decide on what to bring for the potluck.

Spiedies.... Lamb!
 
Posted so I can keep track. Plan to try to make it :)

Lamb, eh? So, you must have been one of the chosen / lucky few that got some at the last Mudfest, errr, I mean Goatfest.

I can do that. Maybe lamb and chicken, and forgo the pork? Crap, how many pounds of meat am I buying here? I just need to figure out how many bottles of Spiedie sauce to bring out. I do still need room for beer; clothing is optional in the checked boxes.

Need to add my name to the potluck signup. That list seems to not have had a lot of activity yet.

For some reason, I have missed out on on this famous spiedies and spiedie sauce. I know we've camped together a couple of times, how have I not had any before? :(
 
Well, I can bring a bunch of Spiedies. I might ask for a few bucks to defray the cost of the meat, if we want to do a lot, and the grill I have coming isn't huge, so I'd have to make it in stages, but I'm game.

I will say that Spiedies do tend to be a hit. At least, I've never had a case of leftovers.

I can grab some stuff from the Commissary.

A week and a half away, folks... People come from as far away as the East Coast for this event!!

Dig out your beach toys!! Shine up your rig!! Sign up for the potluck!! http://www.luckypotluck.com/potluck/SoCalXJPicnic82314

I'm not sure what I'm bringing yet, as it seems others are (or are not going to do the optional potluck), but for what it's worth, there's 23 people who said they are going and 13 maybes on the FB event page. :D
 
People are coming as far as the East Coast. :cheers:
