As an up front statement...The fine BOTL really helped FGM and blu be more relaxed at the 8th Annual. So be ready to chip in again
The Herf Host Hit for the 9th Annual Fishin Herf is going to be Dart Dorman, our all weekend musical entertainment. FGM will post ideas in the near future as to prefered drinks, picks, guitar strings, musical tastes and other gift ideas.
If you have any allergies, please let bluwater know( so we can make sure to get you a double dose of whatever it is you are allergic to... )
And don't forget to be prepared to fill the Tip Jar...TJ said it best a while back, consider what you would pay to eat out like Southern Royalty for 3 days and Tip accordingly to help defray food costs. I know from past experience that produce alone usually runs between $75 and $150 depending on the overall menu. But the Chef brings everything else normally and that adds up fast.
Some of the tasks that will need to be performed to ease the burdens
Sous Chefs for each meal
Loaders/unloaders of the heavy stuff into/out of vehicles
The fishin monitors...transporting people and equipment to and from the lake. (Mattie's in charge)
The shooting monitors are pretty much taken care of but we still need transportation and cleanup
trash picker uppers
trash hauling to the dump up the road
"stealing" beer from TJ's cooler
washing dishes as needed (load and run dish washing machine)
being mandoman's "beotch" and make sure he has his "finger" of Scotch
vehicle washers (this task is for first timers, and they must wash the herf host and da chefs' vehicles) Gotta be a bit of "hazing" goin on friggen noods slipped on this at the 8th
cigar smokers
cabin clean-up duties like sweeping the floor and wiping down the counters, etc
guitar players
tour guides
catch of the day cleaners (bass and bream)
I am sure there are some tasks that I am forgetting
items to bring also that would be of use by all.
Paper towels
toilet paper
trash bags
ice
drink mixers
Paper Plates
Plastic utinsels
Red Solo Cups
Boiled peanuts (for the host of course )
other items needed
Cigars (there is a "community" table set up every year, bring some of your favs to share)
Booze
Beer
towel if you plan on washing the funk off
A chair to sit on
on a side note, if you are looking to shoot but aren't bringing a gun, bring a box of ammo
22 LR
357 Sig
9mm
40 S&W
12 Ga
410 shotshell
41 Rem Mag
45 ACP
223/5.56
6.5 Grendel
7.62x39
308
And most of all...be ready to have a good time
