2018 East Coast Gathering (ECG) - Sunday April 29 in Alexandria, VA

Title says it all. Time to start planning for the 2018 ECG. The date is set in concrete, as it has already been vetted with some of the key regulars, and with the wife. So hopefully that is enough time for those who need to give a lot of notice at work to get the day off.

If you do not know what it is, here is a link to the 2017 event:

Food, drink, knives and hanging out with KKFers -- what's not to like?

 

Looking forward to it!

 

Now on my calendar. Terrific. Really enjoyed last year (and ECGs in prior years too).

 

On calendar.

 

what should i have on hand for pick up

 

Maybe a couple paring knives, a line knife and a butchkiri?

 

Whatever you feel like making and bringing in the next few months.

I will try to think of a more specific request . . .

 

any word if DC sharp will be there ?

 

They hope to be. I believe Ryan and Derek both have it on their calendars, but since I believe they are open on Sunday I suspect we will probably just see one of them.

Less then two months away! It's not too soon to put in requests at work to get Sunday off!

 

Or retire before then, and join the similar ranks of some of us other old f***s.

 

Wouldn't miss it. Thanks again WildBoar for generously hosting again. Considering the various food options to bring. See everyone there. -Doug

6 weeks away -- it will be here sooner then you think!

And if you want to join in on dinner in DC on Saturday night, please let me know -- I need to reserve soon.

 

David,
I'm in for dinner. Looking forward to it. -Doug

 

That's great, Doug!

 

Where's dinner?

 

Pretty sure we are returning to Zaytinya; everyone I have heard from indicated they would happily go back (same for Leah and I). Mike C. is checking availability.

 

Good choice!

 

B U M P

Only 3-1/2 weeks away now! If you want to have dinner at Zaytinya on Saturday night please shoot me a PM/ DM if you have not already let me know.
