After our first ever tailgate teardown as the game started we look forward to the Texas Longhorns. Y’all know what that means right? Yep BBQ. Due to the nature of BBQ we need to have our order placed Wednesday afternoon. So no more of that Friday 6:30 pm signup please.

We really hate to do this, but costs have increased everywhere so we have had to raise the rate of these special tailgates to $20 per adult and keeping the kids at $10. We plan to have pulled pork and chicken and of course brisket along with coleslaw, pop and water included in the contribution. Hopefully we will have another special side or two as well. Feel free to contact one of the hosts if you want to pay via one of the many electronic options.

For the new attendees, we run the tailgate by us schlepping in the main course and the soda and water for a flat contribution. Then you need to bring a side or dessert appropriate for the size of your group. There are suggestions like cornbread on the signup, but feel free to surprise us all.

For those who want to partake, we will have the keg for beer or seltzer. Last week was Shorts Local and WarWater Honolulu Blue. Who knows this week and it could change midway through the tailgate if we have as many as we expect.

Other tailgate notes:

• For people coming early there is the option to signup for breakfast. We only bring in supplies for those we know are coming by Friday morning.
• The BBQ is expected sometime after 9:30. 
• We know there are various dietary restrictions and preferences so the grill can be available if you need to cook your own food.  
• There is an option to sign up for keg beer from Atwater Brewing Company at the tailgate again this year at $10 per person.   We hope to have Dirty Blonde and a Seltzer, but might be other varieties based on availability. Be sure to get a wristband.  
• Tailgate is BYOB other than the community items in the white cooler.  If you add to the community beer supply then you are welcome to take from it. There are just a few from game 1.
• There are not any bottles in the booze stash for the start of the season so bring whatever you want.
• Items listed are just suggestions – surprise us!

So, please signup early using the link for the Texas Longhorn game. Password has been updated.

Go Blue!
