 Poster: A snowHead
|
During one of the far too frequent alcohol induced bullpoop sessions at the last EOSB . . . I also ask for my jet-lag to be a mitigating factor . . . It was, sort of, decided that the 'big meal' was not a particularly successful event. Not great value and a real PITA with mixed quality products and anal portion control . . .
So . . . I think it was me . . . the idea of organising a BBQ at the next EOSB as an alternative was mooted! Bear with me 'cos trying to recover lost little grey-cells with the pertinent memories is no easy task.
THE CONCEPT: Is that a select and dedicated band of idiots bring a van full of oil-drum barbies and concomitant accessories along with the wherewithal to smuggle and/or purchase suitable provisions and beverages on the way to set up a first Sunday BBQ in the front car park of L’Oxalys.
Additionally: The possibility of a last Friday cook-off and bring a bottle to eliminate the waste and effort that Last night seems to cause everyone.
COST: Well that has to be thrashed out, but with some personal commitment to barbie manufacture and other logistical resources I imagine that 15Eu should provide an exceptionally fine and bloated eating/drinking experience.
A cocktail bar may even be on the cards.
INCLUSIVE: From a personal point of view, the service and staff at L’Oxalys has/have always been beyond excellent and I'd like to show appreciation for that in inviting all of them to the party . . . and what the hell, if a passing stranger has the balls to approach a bunch of slushNuts in full battle cry then they've earned the right to a beer and a burger.
So here's what I'm looking for:
Serious suggestions/offers regarding sourcing transport and equipment.
Knowledge and sourcing of quality provisions . . . I quite fancy a honey/garlic and rosemary glazed kid goat....
Recipes
Personal commitment/volunteering
But please don't get into this thread if all you want to do is moan and bitch...If you think it's a bad idea, give a thought out reasoning.
Ta, John

Masque, It's a wonderful idea, and I agree with your take on communal restaurant meals, but I'd suggest naming this thread so that it looks like something relating to the EoSB and putting it under 'Events'. That will pre-empt said moaning and bitching.
Menu planning 9 months in advance might, even for someone as anal as me, be a tad premature.  Equally, I have no idea at this stage whether I'll be able to go to the EoSB but, if I do, please count me in as a volunteer.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Masque, have you asked Oxalys if they don't mind you setting fire to their car park and smoking out the residents?

Lizzard, SnowHeads are the residents (or the majority of them), however I agree there needs to be some discussion with Oxalys over this one, particularly as their 2* Michelin restaurant may be open, it might not look good if we disturb their diners.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Great idea Masque.
Providing I'm there, I volunteer for a shift on the cocktail bar on the proviso that Scarpa promises not to ask for a Slippery Nipple.

Masque, Sounds like fun! As well as L'Oxalys you may well need the permission of the Mairie...I suspect they have strict rules about allowing such impromptu parties.
Mind you, as I am 99.9% certain I won't be able to make the EoSB again next year  you may treat my comments with the contempt they deserve....
