Hou Dat Crawfish Boil
 

I saw a billboard on the way home from work tonight stating that HEB has live crawfish. I'm sure they aren't cheap now but if they do lower the price I was wondering if there were any plans for the annual Hou Dat crawfish boil that had been happening at Hou Yat's the last couple years. I'm just throwing this out there now so I can have enough time to request it off at work so I don't miss out last year

I am ready... Let's do it!

Mudbugs III!

How many of the B&G members are usually there? That could well be worth the drive. I would like to put a face to some of these handles.

I have a guy to get the crawfish from whenever we decide to have it.

I had some why I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras any they were really good.

That's good to know, since it was nearly impossible to get crawfish on a Sunday last year. I called 10 places before I finally found someone who had them. I think Mike mentioned that he wants to host it from his new swamphouse this year. I don't mind bringing my pot & burner over there if he needs one.

Let's try to do it on a Saturday this year if possible. Mudbugs III will happen!

Especially if it's at Mikes, he's halfway to LA now!!

Does this usually happen before training camp? I've had a pm about this idea and I like it. So the B&G camp out has been replaced huh?:wink:

No, we're not replacing anyone else's boil; the one we usually have is in April or May here in Houston. Last year's was held in May over Memorial Day weekend. Would be nice to do it in April when the season is at its peak (and prices are lower).

Can we combine it with draft weekend? I've got a pot and burner too if it is needed...

And I have this one as well.

I won't be able to make it if it's on draft weekend....will be in NO for Jazzfest. Most any other weekend besides that one will be good for me.

Good call ... I think I am going this year too. That reminds me... I need to order the poster.

Lets do it.
April works good. I have 2 dates in May I cannot do 17, 26-- big gigs.

But I will leave a saturday open for this.
My house or Hou-Yats house will be fine. We might have a separate
housewarming party for the Awesome Swamphouse.

count me in to buy some crawfish.
crazy busy today, but will chat more about this later in the week.

Mudbugs III is coming soon Hou-Dats!

How about April 14th, the weekend after Easter? Prices will be lower.

Makes me hungry, I do miss the food down South. Oysters, shrimp, boudin, crawfish, snapper, the damn list just goes on and on.

That sounds like a good date for us. Mike, hope you don't have a gig on this day.

I live in Fairhope, Al which is a 3 hour trip from NO. I will have to bow out and see ya'll at a game! As it is I can easily drive 6 hours round trip with rugby games most weekends. Maybe we could get a splinter group going.

I'm in! Just let me know the date.

April 14th could work for me, I just need to request it off asap

April 14 works for me. I'll keep it open.

Yeah ... It might work as it does not interfere with Jazz Fest weekends.

Jazz Fest 2012

Looks like that date is fine for everyone, so let's plan on April 14.

What's funny is I left Texas to move to Louisiana. I could be partying with ya'll.
Is there a game we could all try to meet up in NO? I just hate being left out.:wink:

Some of us have season tickets and make it to most of the games in NO...unfortunately I don't. But I did make it to 2 games this past year. SkyMike & Budsdrinker do have them, you could meet up with them for a game.

MUDBUGS III sounds great to us! April 14th is a no-go for our family, however...big Boy Scout fair at Reliant that day. :( If that's the best day for everyone, just eat some extra mudbugs for us.

April the 21st, perhaps, then? Your taxes ought to be out of the way too ... :mrgreen:

I can do april 21 also.

cant have mudbugs without kellye and drew!

kellye, you are not getting out of this one.

Let us know where this will be when it is close to the time and I can contribute also.

April 21st is good with us.

21st would work for me, some of the family might come as well

oh my lawd... your family would rock.


I was going to ask why we wanted saturday, but I remembered now... because we drink lots, and dont want
to go to work hungover and fat.....

I make $$$ on saturday, but I'll give one up for yall.

Want to come....
 

....just depends on Caleb's AAU schedule. Tourney that weekend but don't know the times or location yet.

We want it on a Saturday so that we have a much better chance to actually get crawfish. Places like HEB only have one delivery per weekend, and all the bugs are usually gone on Sat. If you have a boil on Sun, you're SOL.

The hangover question is another strong reason for a Sat boil.

btw, The 21st is also good for us if we're now moving it back a week.

So I requested off the 21st, is that still cool with everyone else?

Good with me.

im in.
