What happened to the RFD BBQ this year?

[najibs]

I just realized that there was no mention of an RFD BBQ this year. Did Derek and Ryan believe that the recession will affect our ability to shell out $10 bucks for a burger, drink and some mingling with our good 'ol RFD commrades this year?

Or was it the person in last years thread that complained about the freebies he got in the freebie bag that werent to his satisfaction, that turned them off from having another BBQ? :twisted:

Oh well, too late now...

[CSAgent]

Hey dude, looks like you missed this thread.

Basically there's no BBQ this year, at all. Smaller events yes but even then, I haven't seen any being advertised. :confused:

It'll have to be unofficial.. who's hosting?

I've organized a few of the previous RFD meets actually. Unfortunately, my time organizing them is up. Someone else needs to take the helm. So far everyone who's posted in this thread, I've met all of them in person, oddly enough :twisted:

The most succesful meet (which was not organized by me) was the Sushi on 7 meet back in late 2006. I remember about 30 RFDers showed up. Maybe we should do a Korean BBQ meet, or a better yet...Pho meet....Pho Fuzion in Mississauga at Bristol and Mavis is da bomb! Then we can even start a thread about how to get a Vietnamese Girlfriend :twisted:

hah nice. All you have to do is go to any Nails' salon.

[blarg]

too many sausages not enough buns

[CSAgent]

Pho Fuzion is pretty small.

If you guys are serious about it, I could take over najibs' hosting duties and organize it since I've met a few RFD'ers.

It'd be in Mississauga of course. :D

And we'd definitely need women RFD members to show up or else it's gonna be a sausage fest... lol!

[win-star]

Wooo .... Mississauga!!!!:D

[CSR]

Mississauga is too far!

[najibs]

I'll bring my wife. She's not an RFDer tho. :twisted:

Who cares. It can easily fit 30 people, and the food is the best Pho around the Sauga area by far.

Sure, take over hosting duties. As for RFD women, I'm sure Chococrazy and 3weddings would probably come, seeing as they've been to the meets before. Maybe even Piccolo, if she's willing to drive from Markham :twisted:

Any ballpark on a date? I'm usually good for these.

It's too bad most RFDers live in Onterrible. The West gets no representation.

So we're all switching to our Christmas avatars, huh? Why the heck not, let the Christmas season begin :D!

I might be down if it's in Mississauga (if I'm not away for school at the time) but I'd probably bring a friend or something :P

I drove to sauga once from Markham and I fell asleep. /randomness :lol:

With a name like that, it doesn't sound very authentic... I could be wrong though!

Bristol and Mavis, where Price Chopper, Shoppers Drug Mart and TD Canada Trust are. I had always thought you lived in that general area. ;)

I live in the Port Credit area.

[CSAgent]

Update:

Looks like there's some interest for this.

Would a weeknight or weekend be better for you people?

I'm thinking Friday? How about next Friday, September 4th, 2009 sometime after 6pm at... Pho Fuzion in Mississauga (SE corner of Bristol Road and Mavis Road) since najibs suggested it. Only thing is, pho is fast food, you can eat and be out within 30 minutes. There are a lot of bar/grill restaurants in the Heartland shopping area, 5 minutes north of Pho Fuzion that is good for the after gathering I suppose.

If not next Friday, how about next Thursday, September 3rd, 2009.

Based on the majority, either of those dates will be used.

Next weekend is Labor Day long weekend anyway. Labor Day is Monday, September 7, 2009.

[CSAgent]

haha nope.. what made you think that? :P
I live in the Port Credit area.

No idea, I think because of you referencing places you frequent in that area.. :)

There are Asians living in the Port Credit area? I always thought it was mostly Caucasian... :confused:

[applecheeks]

really? haha I don't think I go to that area very often... but anyways, you're definitely right :P There aren't very many Asians living in my area haha.

As for the dinner, it depends on whether or not I'm going camping with my friends next weekend. If not, both days should be good for me. Location doesn't really matter, but it'd have to be after 6, like you've mentioned... unless some nice RFDer who works downtown is planning to drive to Mississauga after work and can save me a trip on the GO ;) (partially kidding) Either way I still have to go home to grab my car, lol. Oh, and I vote for something other than pho because like you said, pho is usually a quick meal.

[Reign]

I don't even know what Pho food is lol, I feel like some hot dogs :D

Nah...Pho Fuzion...It's the best vietnamese food I've had in Mississauga, and prices are cheap too.

[Baseball_Boy]

Sounds good. Heck, I'll even bring my stick and balls...for a game afterwards of course! :twisted:

[Lovable]

Pho generally tastes the same to me, what's the difference between all these places? Just the name itself makes it sound so Western so is it 'authentic' food or what?

Not at all. I'm not Vietnamese, or Asian, but I CAN taste the difference between good Pho and not good Pho. Freshness, taste, all that combined. Pho Fuzion is a nice clean looking place too.

Going to a pho place blows. Sushi is where it's at in Vancouver. That or Korean BBQ.

you hype this place up so much, najibs :P Now I'm tempted to try it and see if it's as good as you say.

And no bubble republic... not for this :P

Are we getting a RFD discount at the pho place? That is probably the most important thing we neglected.

Nah, that will weed out the real cheapskates, which we don't want there anyways if they're complaining about the price of already inexpensive pho. You're better off staying home.

I like that Bamboo Legend restaurant ... Had it 2 weeks ago monday or tuesday and was really good. I went to the one on Lakeshore Rd. close to Hurontario st.

I tried their Pineapple Fried Rice and thought it was pretty good and my friend got the Geuy Teuw Kua (SP? of the dish) i believe that's what it was on the menu if i remember correctly and he say it was pretty good for the first time eating at a thai restaurant.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely keep that place in mind. It's a smaller place, so we can be as loud and obnoxious as we want. :D
