MUDBUGS V
 

Hello again, Hou-Dats, (and WhoDats everywhere). Its time for MudBugs V, the official crawfish boil of the SETX Chapter of Who-Dat Nation. As you may know, me, and the Saints, have undergone some personnel changes. Well I'll be damned if this is going to stop MUDBUGS V.

Besides, I trust the 2 best GM's in the Universe, God and Mickey Loomis, to do what makes us winners. While Loomis' results will be months in guaging, I am already thrilled with my scouting department, and you can expect an upgrade easily worth a non-producing, former 3rd rounder. We're going with a youth movement, (Hey, I didnt ask for this) and team chemistry will be excellent. You might say I'm set in all positions.

Our new Hou-Dats acquisition (player to be named later) can play the SAXOPHONE! I am not making this up. We're a couple drums away, if Bob P is coming, from a jazz band at our cayenne flavored extravaganza.

The Two big questions are:
1. Site
2. Date
- Other than that everything's set.

-- Hou-Yat has already offered his beautiful home & pool.
-- However, I would like to expand the invite list, which might include some
people we've never seen in person, as well as media colleagues of mine.

Last year's site is not available, and probably looks like a SuperFund site now, anyway. However, my new home in Atascocita, (Humble, TX) (convieniently located near our saxophonist!) is available.... So lets talk. I'm all about what makes you happy. totally up to yall!

My target date is May 17, for various factors, one being how late it is now.
How does this work for everyone?????

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

We will be marathoning that weekend. Two marathons in each one of the months of April, May, and June. Depending on what you all decide, we will try to make it, of course.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

May 17 is out for me...what about May 3, or some time in April?

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Same here, my youngest free agent is signing a lifetime contract that day w/ her fiance'. I like April, before it gets too hot...........Thanks for offering the venue HouYat !!!!!!!! Or we could just gather on the neutral ground on Memorial dr. in Memorial Park?????????????????

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

After the draft.... more to talk about.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

That date (May 3) will work for us....I am committed to a golf fund-raiser that morning, but the afternoon looks good. Would still prefer April for the cooler weather though.

Hey Mike, in honor of your new sax player acquistion, name that tune....."I learned to work the saxophone, I play just what I feel". Showing my age a bit here.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Kelly cant do may 3.
The answer to your trivia question, off the top of my head, and using no google, is: Deacon Blue, by Steely Dan, (which I am sure I am a good personnel upgrade from.)

heres the latest:

may 17 is out.
MAY 3 not good.
ok, how bout may 24?

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

good to see ya my friend

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

I'm good with the 24th

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

lot of tough dates...

how about May 31?????

we're coonazzes/Texicans.... we can do heat, plus there will be tents/fans...

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

We are open on the 24th so far without looking at a calendar. 31st is a possibility too. Build it and they will come!

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Shouldn't that be Boil it and they will come!:cheers:

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Where were ya'll in '85 when I lived in Houston?:saintsfan:

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Sorry Rugby :-( :-).

Me,whatever the group goes with.:saintsfan:

April is cooler, but the late Spring and providing there is lots of rain in N.O. and there always is, the better the bugs. THEY don't like heat. Am I right there?


Congratulations to the gulfgambler family. That is really wonderful.
gulfgambler has a good point too about Mem. Day/Mem Park, neutral place.

Smashmouth, best to you in your marathons. Yeah!!!

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

We can't on May 24th but May 31st is open for us...but you know Edvinna...December in Alaska would be better for her ;-)

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

May 31 is starting to look good. We're in.

Ps to gulf gambler....love the neutral ground reference...don't hear that much in TX.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Wahoo! This is it, then. I'll bring ice packs. for Edvina.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Hey, I-10 works just fine. Halo makes it all the time here. Slo Motion came from Michigan last year. (is he still on the board?)

Alright, we have a date, I believe.

May 31.

amen?

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

C'mon Slo, earlier this year just like we promised. Bound to be at least 1/2 to 1 full degree cooler than last year????????????????????

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Got to check with Tiff but May 31 should work since you live right around the corner now

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Would ROCK to have you and Tiffany there, Brandon!

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Good luck guys. One day maybe.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

I'm in ... barring any unforeseen catastrophe or another polar vortex, :).

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Polar WTF?????????????????

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

There won't be another polar vortex .... unless

...Hell freezes over.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Aww c'mon UK, make that one day...May 31!

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

What's a polar vortex???

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Remember a month or two ago when you guys were getting 20-deg temps and everyone in Atlanta was abandoning their cars on the freeway? That's a polar vortex, :) ... MI had single digit/below zero temps all winter and I had snow piles/drifts up to eye level & the bottom of the windows in my house ... felt like Robert Redford in "Jeremiah Johnson", :lol:.

A crawdad boil sounds pretty good right about now, :D.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Do we have a place finalized also?

Re: MUDBUGS V

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Welcome back, you've been missed.

Re: MUDBUGS V

Re: MUDBUGS V

See? I told yall. All we needed was a location and date....
Details coming.
How should we pay for the bugs this year. I'll do whatever yall want, if I have to buy some sacks myself.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Everybody that will show up needs to throw in $10-$20 in advance and we can even buy beer and beer.

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Count us in.... caught us in between marathon weekends! Will you accept French Francs... I've got some old ones now that Europe is on the Euro? :greendevil:

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

Was there a PayPal account for donations last year? PM me it if someone could, :).

Re: MUDBUGS V
 

That's a good idea ... HouYat or SkyMike, what do you think?
