sorry, Bruz, I forgot to include this in the update....
we got it covered. I did email you, John, & GG, so we can talk about how much to get.

Lynwood I am so sorry to hear about your father's illness. Prayers for him and your family. You will be missed Sat.

Kat here - sorry I'm so late to the board. I have four chairs I can bring. I'm also planning on pitching in $ for bugs. What about non-alcoholic,non- carbonated beverages (I know, what's the point, right?) Would there be enough room in ice chests for, say, two pitchers of tea? or anything else that can be "broughtin'"?

KAT!!! so glad to hear from you.

bring on those healthy drinks, and TEA too... glad you thought of that. While we're non-alcoholic for a moment, MAN, grape sode sure sounds good. We'll have ice chest room. I know somebody's going to bring more coolers.

And Im glad you hooked me up with Jamie. She's a hoot.

WHOOOOOO DAAAAAAAAT!!! Can't wait 'til Saturday; it should be a blast!

Ditto on the healthy drinks, Kat. Sadly I'm sworn off of soda now; been fighting kidney stones the last several weeks. UGH. But I will be there with my big ol' water cup and my Toradol for pain...NOTHING gets in the way of crawfish. NOTHING.

I got more coolers too, Mike. I'll bring 'em. Along with your bandana and two Saints flags. And chairs. We got chairs.

So far our kids will not be coming with us (WOOOT!!); one has a party and the other two will likely just stay with Grandma. But if they do, I'll bring some hot dogs and buns for the kiddos.

UPDATE: thursday evening

WHat about cheap knock-off "Wet Ones" - or do we have access to a hose/outside faucets to wash off our hands the glorious mess that is mud bugs?
