Sorry for the latish posting on this, but rather late than ever...
As normal we are available via twitter on @ToxicBBQ #toxicbbq #defcon #defconparties
Come one, come all to the tenth annual...
Really has it been that many?
Aww shuddup and get back to the post...
Tenth annual *UNOFFICIAL* Defcon Toxic Barbecue. For those of you who do not know, the Thursday prior the conference, which is quickly turning into the first day of the conference, we hold a little meet and greet out at a nearbyish park.
Where: Sunset Park Area F (same place we try to normally hold it) 2601 E Sunset Rd
Las Vegas, NV 89120 (36°03'49.5"N 115°07'04.5"W approximately) map at end
When: 7 August, 2014 1600-2200 (that's 4:00-10:00 P.M.)
What will happen: Conversations, lots of great people, food and libations consumed, flaming pits
Why do we do this: Insanity (personal guess there), there are many times when we all don't feel like we necessarily fit in. Going to your first Defcon can be an intimidating experience. Going to your tenth Defcon can be an intimidating experience for some of us. This lets you break the ice and get to know some people that you will see roaming the halls of the con. They are fascinating people with incredible minds that can give you all sorts of information (hint hint contest delver)
How can I get involved: Bring something that burns well on a grill, and something cold to drink, share some with others
FAQ
What should I wear: It's Vegas in the summer time and it is outdoors. You can wear a parka if you like, but I wouldn't suggest it.
But I need a ride: I'll be the guy in the black kilt and ponytail outside the Penn and Teller theater box office between 1430 and leaving at 1500. I have a couple of seats I can offer, and normally there are a few others that show up with vehicles. We do a run to Sam's Club to pick up a bunch of things to burn before showing up at the park. If you think your going to get lost, need to pick up food (let's be real here, liquor), or want to be helpful, this is the time and place to show up.
Where is the closest grocery store: There is an Albertsons nearby (south on Eastern), but if you want to attack a place in mass, show up at the Penn and Teller box office between 1430 and leaving at 1500, and we'll figure out a way to shoehorn people and groceries into whatever we have.
Where is the closest Liquor Store: This is Vegas baby, all the grocery stores are liquor stores.
Should I bring extra: Toxic BBQ has always been known as a place of hey try this, I swear you'll like it
I'm new (old, green, purple, from Mars, first con, been here since Defcon .035, should I come: Absolutely, this is the perfect place to meet like-minded individuals
No really what should I bring: BYOE (Bring your own everything) We set this thing up, get some basic foodstuffs to get things started, and attempt to organize chaos, you bring everything else including the chaos.
The not fun stuff: Nevada state parks do not allow glass containers in them. The police get nasty and take away your alcohol if it is in said glass containers. There is nothing we can do to undo this, so sorry.
