So.Cal. BBQ? Anyone Interested?

[a.real.girl]

Ok, just so I'm clear: if I Google Map this address:

4730 Crystal Springs Dr.
Los Angeles, CA 90027

And then use the map on Saturday, around 2pm... I will find skeptics? And hot dogs?

[El_Spectre]

I will shortly put up a map and other info.

[DiskoVilante]

Alas, because I'm an idiot and my father is a Nazi, I will not be able to attend this merry gathering. I'm so sorry.

In the future, I shall meet you all, but this Saturday I'm essentially grounded...in a weird way. It's complicated.

Have fun everyone!

Can they all pitch in to help you with your chores so your dad will relent? After all the work you've put into it!

Haha, I wish it was just chores. It's more complicated. I can tell the story sometime.

I wish you could tell it on Saturday.

Griffith Maps

We're all coming from different locations, but the closes big intersection is probably Los Feliz and Riverside (which becomes Griffith Park Drive). The area circled above is zoomed in below.

The circled area above is the picnic area where we'll be. Concrete foundation and tables.

The red squiggles (left side) are street parking. There are a bunch of lots around, but I don't know which are open. They are uphill from the picnic area, and maybe a 5 minute walk, near the carousel.

The pic below shows more detail, and might be helpful.

Left to right:
Visitor Center / Ranger station.
Bicycle / 4 wheeler rental. The white box is a metal shipping container, you'll see bikes outside
The picnic area again.

Not sure where we'll be in that area. Ideally towards the edge of the area, so we have trees nearby. I'll be there early, If anyone doesn't know me... I'm a tall dude with longish hair, and I'll have a BBQ.

That puts you a bit too far south. Do the maps above help?

Who and What!

Here's who we have so far. No attendance will be taken, but it'd be good to have enough food to go around

Terry & DoubtingSteven - grilled veggies
a.real.girl - a.little.cheescake
hcmom & Tori - Fruit salsa and cinammon chips
davefoc
Solus
Saganite - (grudgingly) regular lemonade
Hokulele - Macadamnia nuts, paper goods, utensils, cups
Blackwell?
RSLancastr & RSL's better half
bokonon?
Steven Howard & Wife - Hot dogs, buns, condiments
Gilmar & David - Charcoal, trash bags
LostAngeles & Dan
El Spectre (also David) - BBQ, charcoal, tools, ice
ConspiRaider - Steak, chicken(?), and veggie tray (no peeps)

Stuff we need (these are just suggestions):
Burgers & Buns & Cheese
Chips / dip / salsa
Maybe some sausages
Side dishes (bear in mind that it might be hot... egg salad could be bad)
Sodas, Water

Also, does anyone have a big ice chest we could use for the day?

 

[Hokulele]

Raidey should be on that list with steak and chicken (?).

I can add plastic cups to the list of paper goods.

Thank you. I saw him say he was busy, then missed the "I'm still coming" message.

they do. Thanks!

[LostAngeles]

Well we got a new (temp) fridge and it stinks. We can't tell if it's mildewy water or cleaning ****.

So, no potato salad out of us. We'll bring sodas and juices.

 

[saganite]

I have an ice chest, I'll bring it with.

 

[ConspiRaider]

I'll probably bring a cheapy ice chest, I'll need that for the steaks and the funny-bird (chicken) and the veggie tray and the side dish of revenge (which is best served cold).

 

[bokonon]

I'll plan on bringing some chips. I eat the Green Salsa Doritos, or Lays Potato Chips (Onion & Sour Cream, Limon, or BBQ), but if anyone prefers something else, I'm just planning to swing by the store on the way down, so put a request here before noon Saturday.

 

[RSLancastr]

Too bad, DV!

Also, My Better Half is unexpectedly going to be out of town. I might still be there, but we'll have to see.
