Afternoon friends,
Yours truly, along with Smokeybear, brdavidson, damnyak and Cavendish will be holding a burner and swap-meet on September 21st from 11am - Whenever we decide to stop in Etobicoke, ON. We're going to pot-luck the event, bring our friends and families, and as much of our collections and cellars as we can fit into a used (but laundered) hockey bag.
Festivities will include:

- uh... smoking a bowl, or two, or three

- "oohing" and "aaahing" over everyone's pipes

- pipe/tobacco/tobacciana swap

- eating

- drinking (non alcoholic beverages 'cause we're in a public park)

- jawin'
We're hoping YOU will join us.
We'll be here: https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Colonel+Sam+Smith+Park,+Toronto,+ON&hl=en&sll=49.303974,-84.738438&sspn=7.250236,21.621094&oq=colonel+sam+smith&hq=Colonel+Sam+Smith+Park,+Toronto,+ON&t=m&z=14
Holler at any of us for more info.
-- Pat

I'm excited for sure. I doubt my wife and daughter would come since they both think it's 'boring'. I don't know if I have any pipes to swap since I love every single one I have but some tobacco will come with me.
Question about potluck; Is there going to be a list as to what everyone would bring? (different dishes, snacks, drinks, plates, napkins)

My daughter calls me and Pat "Pipe Nerds" and just shakes her head at us. :rofl: Convincing her to come might be a difficult task, the wee man has his own pipe (a mini corn cob) and may just be willing to join us! Nick, don't forget your fishing gear, I need lessons!!!

I was thinking about this at work tonight and how much fun it's going to be. The wife is totally not interested in coming so it's a guys day for me lol.
In regards to food and beverage. If we all byo refreshments theres no dissapointment in the fluid category. For food how about salads, dips and a few baked goods? Any kind of salad, macaroni, caesar, broccoli, potato. Dips could be veggies and dip, taco dip with tortilla chips, etc. Cookies and squares for treats?

Just a thought guys. Lets brainstorm together and we can all make this an event to remember!

I have a portable propane grill that I can bring home from the trailer to cook on. I'll make a pot of chili and we can re-heat it on the BBQ.
Nick, I think I'll be solo as well, I'm sure I'll be looking for a sanity day after school starts!

Hmmm, that sounds like fun. It's the day after my 40th and there's a TFC match at 4PM, but maybe I can convince the family to make the hike out before the game.
Thanks for the invite!

I was going to make some country style 'slaw and a couple pans of my grandmas chocolate brownies.
One note on food allergies for everyone going. I have an allergy to MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) and I know alot if people have to eat gluten free. By letting everyone know if you have an allergy there shouldn't be any mishaps for our meeting.
@brdavidson: I only have one daughter who is 11 (going on 15 lol) she's not bad but I totally hear ya on the sanity day needs bro lol. I usually escape to the river but come hunting time my solitude happens in the bush lol.
