The Party's Over, It's time to call it a day...

Actually, the party has been over for a week, but the clean-up has continued until now, and possibly a few more days if you take into account all the leftover food we've been trying our best to 'dispose' of, calorie by calorie.

By any standard, it was a great party from start to finish.  And if you don't believe me, here's the video:

Coop Party - The Movie 

Even the Meet & Greet party at El Palenque Mexican Restaurant & Cantina on Friday evening was a lot of fun for the 31 who were there.  A couple of others arrived looking for us just as we all left.

One thing is for sure, Friday night's party wet the appetites of everyone for more fun.  And they started arriving at the Chicken Ranch very early to get things going.

I could go on and on talking about the fun but I'll let the soon to be released video tell the story.  Just hang in there and you will be able to enjoy it through photos...

For all of those who came to the Coop Party on Saturday, especially those who cooked and brought items to cook, eat or drink or talk about or share, thanks.  There was certainly a lot of it and it was all very good.  If you tried to count everyone, it would have been difficult because everyone was moving about so much trying to keep up with everything going on.  But some estimates seem to agree that it was somewhere between 60 and 65.  I hope I got all of them in the video.

It wasn't announced ahead of time but My Sweetie was also celebrating her 70th birthday that weekend.  So it came as no surprise that there was cake and candles involved, as well as a few gifts.

So stay tuned here to see the video, or you can probably catch it on the Big Green Egg and Facebook forums.  I'm just waiting for someone's collection of photos and video to add.

And before you ask, No, I don't see another Coop Party in this lifetime...

But this one was fun...

The Day of the Coop Party/Fest is Finally Here

After months in the planning, weeks in the preparation, days in the cleaning, hours in the final set-up, and seconds in the worrying about it, The Coop Party/Fest is here. 

It got off to a rousing start last night with a fun-filled and sometimes vigorous gathering of 31 hungry/thirsty friends and relatives at El Palenque Mexican Restaurant in Spring, Texas. 

By 8:00 we were pleasantly full and joyously happy. But some of us were also margarita-pickled, tuckered-out tired, bone weary numb and drooply sleepy. 

All answered the call to go get some needed rest for Saturday's kickoff of the Coop Party, now just hours away. 

We have no idea what the weather (now 40% chance of rain) will bring, but we don't care. Rain or not, this party is ON...
