Your right about that waffle house seats four. Was just messing with you

It's all good and actually it's just that I know about the McDonalds there. Any breakfast place Hardee's, BK or..., would probably work. I am partial to Hardees and maybe one is there I just don't know.

Bump

It's on!  Received from Dr. Johnson today:

Awesome!!!! I'll see you all there!

ME TOO!!!

Darn it. Won't be able to make it. It would be nice to meet you guys & gals and sample all the figs and learn a few things, but the timing doesn't work. 
I fly down to NOLA bi-weekly. Might be in NOLA that week but have to fly back friday :(

bumped for edit in original post

Very excited that you will have us over after lunch. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I look forward to meeting you all as more than just Brackishfigger and finally showing the tree off to folks that won't look at me a bit askew as they sense my peculiar passion for my creation.  Ah, my fellow fig weirdos!

Wow count me in looking forward to meeting all you this will b my first.Please keep me updated

That's great Pukzpukz,

Looking forward to meeting you!

The LSU part of the program starts at 0900 and ends at 1200. That's the official program!

The unofficial part is that I will be at McDonalds located at 5464 Essen Lane for breakfast around 0700 - 0715. I will stay there till about 0830 and then drive the few blocks to Burden Field located at 4560 Essen Lane.

After 1200 I will eat lunch at Picadilly located at 5474 Essen Lane which is next door to McDonalds. After lunch Brackishfigger will be showing off Frankenfig. I certainly don't want too miss that. Hope you can make all the activities.

Just a reminder that Dr. Johnson asked everyone to bring ANY (LSU or NOT) ripe figs for others to sample and talk about.

If you have something that is unusual please bring it even if you only have a few. They will be plated and labeled along with the figs they collected for display and sampling. I suppose that if you have an unknown that would be OK and maybe you will get an ID.

The more the better! Hope to see all you there.

If you already know eveything about LSU figs

AND you already have all the LSU figs,

There is still a great reason to attend.

You'll get to meet all of us who do not have them or even know all of them (official and otherwise).

One fair lady is driving over 11 hours just to come see everything and everyone.

Time to pack up and hit the road

My GPS tells me 8h 15m with traffic and I'm afraid it'll take even longer. We're leaving GA tomorrow around 5pm straight from work so... Friday rush hour ......

Any spouses coming ? Mrs K is . We're both looking forward to it. Are we doing name tags ?

Will see all of ya'll there.
