I have a hall that we can use for the plug get together on Jan. 3rd if that works for you guys please chime in so I can give an answer on Monday. That is the only Sat. available at the Mitchell Memorial Club in Middleboro. We can bring our own food with everyone chipping in do donate a dish or something and it's only 25 bucks more for use of the kitchen as long as we clean up. A bartender would be only an extra 25 bucks too.
So depending on how many guys we get, it should only be about 5 bucks to get in each. If we want to get a caterer then it will cost more per person.

I know it is a little short notice but other than that I am open to suggestions but I think it's a long weekend and easier for some guys to make it then.

OK fire away:nailem: Please reply if you want to come, Thanks

OK, Like I said in the other thread , it's a go. We have the hall from 9-4.

Thanks Eben :D

I'll be there. Not enough plugs to go around yet. I need to break a few more snow shovels! But I'll have a bunch of "Special" bucktails for your plugs...., like the one in the olive bomber post. Maybe even bring my vice to tie more for everyone...., if there's interest in that sort of thing, too.

I'll be watching for the "bring" thread, I'll put in for the day off now!

I use Mustad close loop 3561ED 2/0 3x Extra Strong for treble and Mustad 9510XXXS 5/0 and/or 6/0 Siwash Stainless for the tail. I dress the Siwash with bucktail and Flashaboo.

Great day youze guys, plugs RULE :D

I had some gooood chili. and a little of a lot. Yum good stuff and a lot of reeeel nice people. Good job Slipknot and Mrs Slipknot and everyone else who helped put it together. Some very talented plug builders and fly tiers there.

Chilli is excellent, CAL. I started farting hard all the way to Boston from Middleboro, man.

Goosefish, the oysters, yummm. Add some lemon cuts, oh lalala.

FWW-Your chicken popcorns are far more SUPERIOR to the KFC's popcorn chickens! They are very meaty and chunky. Excelent and awesome zitis.

Who made those swedish meatballs, nacho zips? I liked them today. All of those food were DELICIOUS. How did y'all like my dad's sparerib strips?

I was not fortunate enough to get any of those strips Notaro, but I saw them and they looked fabulous, and I was told that they were out of this world! My loss! Hey, great meeting you Notaro at the plug fest!:kewl: Slingah and I will get you out fishing with us come spring so mark your calender.

RI Popper & Notaro, glad you guys liked it :)
Salty, I didn't even get any :laughs:

Big Fish, nice to meet you. Great meatballs!

you too, Bigfish and Ri popper. Sure, I will be looking forward to it, man.
