A couple of things. If you guys want some catfish, I can ponder bringing a few. First off I don't clean anything except the house. If you are interested I can snag a couple and put them in a container and bring them down Friday night. I have been trying to give a hand full away for a while and nobody wants to come and get them. PM me or call me at 803-309-7928.
Next I would like to share my feelings on food. I do so only to give some insight. I think one of the things I like most about this rally is it's very open and free. I like the fact that what ever you guys do is optional. Having said that it is nice to have food available. I rarely eat all of the stuff on any menu for a weekend and anytime it's a set price for the whole event I always feel I didn't get my moneys worth. I also realize that it is easiest on unpaid personal to do things that way. I wouldn't want to go to all this trouble to have people pick and chose over the food avaible and then end up with stuff left over. I am not asking anyone to go to that much trouble.
That brings me to how I operate. If you guys are going to do a set price for the whole weekend, we won't go that route. It's not a bad route, it's just not us this weekend. If you have stuff available on "per meal" basis, or if you have it availabe like a conventional resturant, me and the ladies will probably eat there some. Again, I am not trying to influence you guys or anything like that, I'm just offering some insite on how I view meals at gathering like this. I resisted Cabells food at Aberdeen a few months ago, but then I started eating and couldn't stop. So I am about as indecisive as people get. And I will have two very unpredictable women with me.
I hope this doesn't sound too crazy, but I thought I would chime in. But seriousely, if you want some good size fish with the guts and heads intact, let me know.
sounds like you guys are going to have enough food for weeks...its not 2012 already is it???? hahah jk

Since I am plucking this chicken (ya'll just stand back and watch the feathers fly) I am going to make a command decsion.
Meals will be on a per meal "suggested donation" basis depending on main course. I think we will be able to do breakfast for 2-3 bucks (hotcakes and bacon/sausage....if you want eggs or other items we will adjust) lunch and diner 4-5 bucks (unless we have steak or seafood). We should be able to furnish tea and/or coffee with the meal...if you want soda or juice BYOB.
Since we are gettting a lot of donations we will offer them as side dishes (where applicable) and include them in the meal price.
I am going to purchase some staples, spices, condiments and other stuff we will need as basic items. I will be reimbursed for my cost from funds generated (as will anybody else that purchases items for the meals). Any profit will go to Clinto to help with costs associated with the rally.
If you want to contribute foodstuffs we will give you credit for your donations at a mutually agreed on value (if you want).
I will work with Mike and we will post a menu (for three meals on Friday and Sat and breakfast Sunday) a few days before the rally. If you don't like a particular meal we have posted you can eat your own chow or at Durhamtown's cafe.
KP's will eat free for the meal they assist on.
If you want to bring your own plates and silverware you can use the sink to clean them.
Paper plates and plastic ware donations would help.
This is an experiment and if it is successful we can continue it if the MKT is available.
Thanks for all the support.
I talked with Chris (Sevo) and the ladies, and I think we can be counted on to at least eat breakfast from the MKT. We may jump in if something looks especially tasty or we just don't feel like cooking for some reason.
I agree with Joe, sometimes you just want to pay as you go. LOL.
Thanks WM and Mike for putting this on, I know how hard it can be working with Cabell at Haspin. But it is pretty rewarding too, when the camp is quiet because they are too busy stuffing their faces with what you cooked.
And Mike, I am bringing my imersion heater as well. Never can have too many.

I think Clinto g/f and I have a boatload of disposable plates and silverware we can donate. I need it out of the kitchen.
Agreed on the per meal basis-Blythewood Joe's post encapsulates perfectly my position as well.
