Meet me in St. Louis - again in 2019!!! The fine members of the 30 Day Crew cordially invite you to attend the Second Annual TSD Meet Up in St. Louis this June 21, 22 and 23. Well, technically St. Charles but you know how these big cities work. Last year's inaugural event was a great time as we got to meet a few of our online cohorts, enjoy a great breakfast, St. Louis BBQ and a couple of the guys raided local antique shops for some pretty cool finds. We'll plan for that and more this year! We will have a Limited Edition soap for this event - more details to come on that. Also - and this is breaking news - there are rumors of a Limited Edition brush as well. More details on that as well. Plans call for the 21st to be arrival date, get into the motel, informal time that night, then Saturday morning we'll plan a big breakfast/BST/whatever else we want morning. Saturday afternoon you can roam the shops for hidden gold and then another fine BBQ dinner to end it Saturday. The Cardinals are in town that weekend, playing the Angels meaning this is the first time Albert Pujols has returned to STL since running away to L.A. If you'd like tickets to the Sunday afternoon game I would be happy to help arrange that. If there's enough interest expressed I'll see about group tickets. We do need to start getting an idea on attendance. PLEASE RSVP below and also PM me if possible so I can start getting a head count. Wives are welcome. Trust me, when they meet some of us they'll realize how "normal" you are in comparison and leave you alone!! More details to come. We have tentatively scheduled for two "celebrities" to join us and will be reaching out to vendors who are able to come as well. If you need specific information let me know! I'll have hotel info out by the end off February. If you are flying in and need a ride from the airport let me know as well. I'll be available all day on the 21st to provide ground transportation. Let's make it happen in the Lou!
Neal, I was born and raised in Alabama and have lived in GA for the past 14 years. That being said, I have a strong taste for smoked meats. Do you guarantee the BBQ in St. Louis will be up to par??
I'm a total rib and all kinds of BBQ freak. St. Louis has some of the best. If you need references may I refer you to @mrchick , @Drygulch , @wristwatchb , @Bama Samurai , @Paul76 , @Keithmax , and the rest of the crew from the first meet up last summer. They'll speak from their experience.
