The pasties are here, the pasties are here! The nice lady from Nylund's Foods in Crystal Falls, Michigan, just delivered 85 frozen 8-oz. beef pasties. They're tucked in the deep freezer already, awaiting the ride to Salt Talks '06, along with about 140 hamburger patties and a whole bunch of hot dogs and bratwurst. I've got a few more 'burgers to prepare -- want to have at least 150 or so on hand when the feeding frenzy begins (or, as a buddy puts it, when the bait pile is laid out).
Salt Talks is two weeks from tomorrow night, boys and girls -- get ready. There are about 130 shirts on the way, too, and gift items for the 50/50 drawing are accumulating (but still solicited. If you've got a team t-shirt or someting else you'd care to donate to the drawing, plese let me know. We'll be leaving Marquette in only a few more days, so mailing the stuff to me probably won't work -- just bring it with you to the Salt.). The drawing will be a benefit fund-raiser for landracing.com, so give early and give often.
And look forward to the pasties!
