First off, sorry for getting this out later than usual. For 2015 we will continue to keep the festivities at the Buzzkill Casa for the food and games and will work to put together a lake day at Canyon Lake the following day. The basic schedule and dates are as follows

Basic Itinerary

• Saturday May 23, 2013 (BBQ, Games (details to come) and fun) (11am - whenever)

• Sunday, May 24, 2013 (Lake day, sunbathing boating etc...) (10am - dark)


Thursday May 23: (For those that want an extended vacation)

Morning through Evening – Flight Arrivals – If you Opt to arrive early you are pretty much on your own. This is a great time to visit some of the interesting area in and around the Austin Area.

My recommended hit list:
• Gruene Texas - Dining, Shopping, and Gruene Hall (live music at the oldest standing dance hall in Texas)

• Wimberly Texas - Shopping, Art Galleries, Wimberly days, Wimberly Brewery and Brewster pizza.

• Fredericksburg Texas - Art Galleries, Wineries and tasking rooms, The National Museum of the Pacific ware (formerly the Nimitz Museum (VERY IMPRESSIVE))

• Austin, Buda, Kyle host of other fun places to shop and visit

I have come to four of these BBQ's, one prior to being in FSK405. I live in the northern part of Idaho. It's a 3200 mile trek for me and I've brought family every time. DGrunt has been 2 or 3 times as well. Anybody that lives in less than 3200 miles is required to show. Got that?

In all seriousness, many ppl come from many different directions over a great distance. It is a fabulous few days that cannot be compared to. You won't regret it, regardless of what it takes to get there. FSK405 knows how to throw down a good time, and Buzz and the wife are splendid hosts. You MUST come and experience the fun of funs.


In case you've never been, 6th|russa put together a most spectacular video compilation of events. Kudos to russa. Very well done.

Awesome video. At the beginning I got scared that my TeamSpeak was on somehow. :D Will there be a video this year? Do I need to prepare for a closeup?

Reflux, I think your radius includes Canada & Mexico... Was this intentional?
Re: The Official FSK405 2015 BBQ

We do try to discourage Canadians.

I've become aware the infiltration is much deeper than suspected.

But they clean up behind themselves. And usually are polite. And sometimes even sing our anthem- we can't even get countries we invade to do that.

Do we have any DOD retirees, disabled vets or active DOD members in our group?

$190 for 8 hours on pontoon is a pretty good deal if we can get a representative to get it for us.

Sasquatch, Fri May 15 2015, 03:51PM

Here is another place that is $450 which is twice + the DOD place but half the price of other places

It accommodates 12 People and is available now for $200 deposit. 10 people would have to contribute $50 to have it covered. if weather is too bad that day they will refund our deposit.

So, I won't be able to make it to the BBQ this year - but mark my words, next year the wife and I are taking a road trip down to Texas, and we will absolutely be at the FSK BBQ next year.

Hi FSK!

I wanted to leave a big post-event THANK YOU. I had a fantastic time each day of the BBQ. Let me take a moment to thank:

> XP for driving me most of the way there & back again. Had to put up with like sixteen hours of Bro Country but beggars can't be choosers.

> Buzz, Little & Liz for taking my food allergies into account. More than anything that made me feel extremely welcome, that folks I hadn't met IRL were so willing to make sure that I wasn't going to get sick. Mission accomplished, guys. Oh, & shout out to Missus Foot for her friggin' awesome potato salad.

> Frog, Buzz, Liz, & Karen for being most excellent hosts, not just to me but everyone! You guys are awesome!

> Reflux for bringing awesome home brew!

And of course thanks to all who came. The good vibes started Friday & just kept right on. I'm definitely looking forward to the 2016 BBQ because it's "nothing, but a good time, how can I resist?"

Keep being awesome, everyone!

--Wolf

Outstanding time folks!

Big thanks to Buzz and LittleFoot for running the show. Another BIG thanks to XP for his continued support and overall awesomeness!

This group picture was taken at the Kickoff gathering Friday night at my house, just after we sang Happy Birthday to Pandi. Mrs. Reflux, Mrs Frog and the Tadpole cooked Pandi a cake, the moment and cake were something special.
