Is anyone interested in doing a grocery run? The folks I usually go with won't be attending this year. I always find it helpful to have a few munchies in room to help when I am too drunk or too broke to stumble down to Kady's, plus a booze run could be made at the same time.

Note that I'll be at Caesar's Wednesday night (but around).
PM for contact info. Or we could just Dodgeball out "food run?"

Re: grocery run
I'd dig joining adding our car to a non-Costco food and booze run on Thursday... or if someone has the address of a grocery store near the Riv, I'd really appreciate that info so I don't get lost or stuck eating from a convenience store. Or casino buffet.

--bc,
After having made said "short walk" last year to Walgreen's it's best to make sure you have plenty of sunscreen on and some water for the trek.
Also, plan on asking them to double bag heavy items, it sucks to have a bag rip open half way back to the Riv. However if you bring a lackey (Younger Brother) like I did you can always force them to carry everything back."It is difficult not to wonder whether that combination of elements which produces a machine for labor does not create also a soul of sorts, a dull resentful metallic will, which can rebel at times".

Re: grocery run
I'd love to ride with someone if they go on a grocery run.
I usually bring a hot kettle to make 'instant food'. One year at the AP, a friend of mine had one of those george forman grills and shared with me while he lived on hamburgers and quesadillas at con. I loved it, it was so much cheaper and tasted better than the food in most of the restaurants.
If I had a way to get some food from a grocery store this year, I'd seriously think about acquiring a grill to bring with me.

Re: grocery run
It appears that I'll be in on Thurs AM and will have a rental car. Fully willing to be a part of the grocery run. I'll stay tuned for details.If a chicken and a half, can lay an egg and a half, in a day and a half... how long would it take a monkey, with a wooden leg, to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?
