Bring a 12 pack to the tailgate. You can be there you just can't eat or drink the beer, there's only so many portions/servings.

This is what I think happened. There's no way he's that stupid.

Big noon will be in the pioneer field. College Gameday will be at ferry field next to the surly horns tailgate.

We spent all night last night and all morning this morning before leaving in Wisconsin. We didn't stop at all the little things in between Wisconsin and Mackinac because there's a whole lotta nothing.

They set up in pioneer lot/field.

Made it to Mackinac City. It was a brutal drive, the kids were losing their fucking minds and refused to stop to eat so they were all hyped up on snack food. Pics of the approach to the gigantic bridge over the lake Michigan Huron border and bridge itself. We arrived and were gonna swim in the pool, but they just closed it for winterization today. Ended up going to another beach on the border of lake Huron and Michigan this time. 20240903_194944.mp4 And because I'm fat here's what I ate for dinner. It's a steak tips chalupa thing from some brewpub down here. It slammed and went hard.

You just bought some using autograph you are fine hahahaha.

That's a case per 5 people.

Bring your own, I'm not kidding lol. I'm not able to return any product. I'm not over ordering, I want nearly nothing left.

I added to the menu pretty significantly and now that we are sold out I guess it's time to update everyone. Breakfast/early apps Smoked whitefish dip and homemade chips. Fresh fruit display, variety of fruits Mains Whole hog (200lber) Supplemental pulled pork Pulled Chicken Pulled jackfruit Sides cole slaw Orzo salad Mexican street corn (elote) off cob Rolls/butter Fun stuff personal charcuterie cups (only 350 of these bad boys) 100 cases of beer 40 model, 20 coors light, 20 lebatts blue, 20 variety topo seltzer (2400 cans) 1 case of pinot noir 1 case of pinot grigio 1 case of liquor (light on purpose) 4 bottles of Titos, wild Turkey 101, tequila Zing zang for bloodies and premium marg mix for margs 12 cases of water (960 waters) 10 cases of mini gatorades(480) Sprite 70 cans Coke/diet coke 35+35 Ginger 10 1L Club soda 10 1L Tonic 10 1L If we run low on booze by kick I'll order another 20+ cases for after-party.

Did you email me? I have an extremely limited quantity left pretty much only for people who are already friends with attendees or that I know personally. I physically only have 500 alcohol wristbands and 100 NA/Kid ones. We are completely sold out at 450+50

Currently about 3 hours into the 6 hour drive to Mackinac City where we will crash tonight, board the dog (no dogs allowed on the island) I am paying the catering company cash for a steep discount (10%) and it's basically the only way I did this party without losing money. Well, there's a little interesting fact I wasn't aware of when I planned this. There is not a single fucking Wells Fargo bank in the ENTIRE STATE OF MICHIGAN. So now I'm basically in and out of shitty rural internet trying to figure out a way to get 10k+ (exceeding IRS reporting etc) in physical cash. Called my good buddy who works at PNC. He told me they would take care of me. 2 hours later I have money in PNC (via wire) and cash ordered at the Ann Arbor branch for pickup Friday afternoon. Crisis averted. Thank god @BobbyB didnt have to mule cash for me across the country, which he so graciously offered to do. Now I just have to make it to PNC by 6PM Friday so we can all eat Saturday. By the way. We are fucking sold out on this party.

Early start. Went to the playground in bayfield on the water and gassed up, uploaded my daily update to autograph and set off to the orchards/farms in the "Berry capital of Wisconsin" also referred to locally as the FRUIT LOOP For those that are unaware my wife's mothers family is from Ann Arbor, her grandfather Donald Peterson was a rose bowl winning QB. I assumed his season tickets because one of the uncles was tired of paying for them just to go to a game every other year (he's a sparty). To say we have deep ties to Michigan is an understatement. This is why my children have Michigan shit on, we are crossing the border into Michigan. Bought some fresh apple donuts, a fresh blueberry loaf. Gunnar found an apple that fell from a tree and ate it. Boys were obsessed with eating berries off the vine. Some local wildlife.

Yeah, I can add some for surly kids. @BurntEyes also can't make it and bought one if these. We can see if he wants to give to you?

Need to lose about 40lbs is what that is.

Cheese curds were fantastic. Squeeky and all. Perfect. Wouldn't expect any less from a joint in Wisconsin. Whitefish was on point as were the livers. Bonus pics of the town charm Went from there to check into our little cottage in the north woods. Then immediately to the beach of lake superior. I took the plunge, water felt fantastic. No taste or odor, almost pure! Crystal clear. Then we went and got trout, they were out when I got there and a boat got in and they pan fried me one right off the boat. Now we are chilling by the fire and that's the update for today. More adventures tomorrow.

We have less than 60 left. This bitch is gonna sell out before Saturday

Made it to a lunch spot with WiFi. Quick update. Moving slow this morning. Kids woke up early so we traded naps and had a bit of a lazy morning and drove to the southern point of the duluth. Card found. Drive was very scenic with views of the lake through the trees and gaps. a very American farmer out with his tractor and American flag Getting the Fisherman's dinner here

Wristbands will be at the tailgate too. You will show your ticket and get a wristband.

What posts?

Morning off to a strong start. My youngest grabbed my wallet and now my main card we are using for the trip is missing. Super neat.

Reading this thread is infuriating. The hotel is usually great. I get that a catastrophic failure results in a lot of unintended things, but it's the hotels responsibility to make it right. Chargeback through chase is not the right way to do this.

Won't get there till Wednesday. I confused some people in the earlier post. When we do stay there we are staying at Grand Hotel.

Escape with another win
