HAMBURGER SUMMIT time: Sunday, June 28th - now with special MONTPELIER flavor

What is this - the 4th annual "blogger barbecue"? The 3rd? Well, whatever, its back, and its moved a bit south this year. That's right, Montpelier, baby. Sure, that decreases the liklihood of maintaining the high officeholder density level, in relatively small Montpelier, but it was time to make the trip for our friends down south a little less burdensome anyway.

So here, then, are the vital stats:

WHEN: Sunday, June 28, 1-5 PM (rain or shine - we have a big tent thing)

WHERE: Montpelier recreation field, next to the pool (see map)

WHY: Cuz we'll be hungry

WHO: Blog readers, officionadoes, and enthusiasts of differing political stripes, as well as new media creatures of all persuasions. Political officeholders, political officeholder-hopetobes, kids, frisbees, basketballs, maybe even some fish.

Seriously, its a great place to be. Bring bathing suits, tennis rackets, croquet mallets, fishing poles - whatever. There will be some food for grillin', drinks and chippage on hand, but it wouldn't hurt to bring something (not necessary, I'm just sayin'...)

Come one! Come all! Will Charity Tensel and JD Ryan finally break down and come to blows (or does their online sparring mask something... else?)? Will Jack shave his beard for charity? Will Philip break down and confess that his writings were really the work of Francis Bacon?

So don't miss it (map after the fold). The human adventure is just beginning.

Map shows "Poolside drive." Turn right onto poolside drive and it dumps you into a parking lot. Park there and look to the far side of the pool.

One other question... (0.00 / 0)

... Are bottles allowed here? Better ask now before I find out the hard way... again.

That Map Might Be A Bit Mis-Leading (0.00 / 0)

The Rec Field is very much "in" Montpelier and probably takes 2 minutes to drive (going the 25 MPH limit) from Downtown.

What I wonder is why the Rec Field instead of Hubbard Park? Is grilling even allowed at the Rec Field? Is beer?

As for the bottle question, I just emailed a friend in City Hall to ask.

D'oh! (0.00 / 0)

To be honest, I didn't think of Hubbard Park, but there were also people talking about wanting to be near the water, so at the Rec Field we'll be right next to the river and the pool. It's also very easy to get to.
