The Lab is a new brew pub that we really enjoy ad hope you will as well. You can find more info on the lab here http://www.lexavebrew.com/. All food and drinks on Friday are your responsibilities .
Sat June 6th We will meet at 9 am at Trinity Baptist Church 216 Shelburne Rd. Asheville, NC 28806 those of you who have attended in years past know where this is and those who dont should be able to find directions through Goggle. One Change is that we will not be in the gym building this year but will be moving to the basement of the church next door just look for the signs. We will be doing all Razor programming from 9am to 6 or 7pm and will include demos on pinning and scale production as well as lectures from key guests. We will serve a free lunch during the day. Addmission is free as always. Afterward we will meet at Wasabi Sushi House located at 19 Broadway St Asheville, NC 28801 for dinner. Drinks and socializing will follow at a location yet to be determined.
On Sunday June the 7th we will gather at noon at lake Julian for a free BBQ the Menu will include pulled pork, baked beans, slaw, Sausages, deviled eggs, buns, and whatever else I decide to make. This will go on as long as folks want to stay. If anyone plays music bring your instruments and we will probably have some jamming going on. The convention will be over when the last person leaves the BBQ.
As always we do not charge for the lunches or the BBQ we pay for everything with the monies raised in the raffles and through donations so please participate in raffles if you can or throw a dollar or two in the hat if you can but if not thats all cool as well.
I look forward to seeing you all there.
All the best
