Free Booze and Food! January 10th, 2026

I really, honestly regret not being there after reading all of this. Please don't take these kinds of things for granted. It's things like this and the memories made that keep you warm in the stand on the coldest days. I'll be over here looking at flights from Knoxville if you need me.

Well, now. I finally made it home earlier this evening. Those of you that know, know this has been a hell of a trip for me.
I would like to point out that I am one of the causes (there were a couple of others involved) that overstayed our time at the party! And @mdwest you are partly to blame for introducing two of us!! : )
I sincerely apologize for keeping you up so late!!
Those that haven't been to this event, @mdwest and his lovely bride host a phenomenal party! The first year I went (last year) I thought the food was catered in. Wrong! His lovely bride does all of this! You can see the pics posted above. They both do a more thana a wonderful job on this party and I can't imagine the stress it brings to pull this off in your own house.
I think you would do just fine to have it at the other venue next year with no issues.........then you wouldn't have drunks like us keeping you up past your bedtime!!hahahaha..
I'll continue to support in whatever way I can, even if that means keeping you up late at night...hahahaha...Love ya brother!!! and Thank you and R!!!

Not complaining just curious-- I ordered the candles for conservation weeks ago and haven't received them. Does anyone know how long shipping should take? mdwest if you see this please dm me and I'll call you. Thanks

No worries at all…

Typically candles ship within a few days… the artwork takes a bit longer (2-3 weeks) since the artist has to sign and number each print and certificate of authenticity, then ship from South Africa, then the package gets inspected and re-shipped to its final destination..

I’ll send you a DM…
