Remember that one time we had an epic bro out session at the park
So senior week was almost rolling around and us guys decided to go for a bro out / grill session in a nice outdoor location.
Assorted meats were marinated overnight.
We had no idea where we were going at first, but we decided to go to the nearest park.
Almost prepared with everything - got a grill, lighter fluid, meats, tortillas, plates, water, napkins, etc.
Knowing us, there was no way this would go smoothly. Something was bound to fuck up.
We set out in afternoon after class. Just as we're about to leave, I realize I left the lighter in my room.
Ran back to my dorm. Realize the lighter is in my pocket. Ran back to car.
We go to Giant first to get some supplies - got coal, lighter fluid, and water.
Purchase supplies, head back to the car. Rahman yells out profanities. We forgot the ice (for the marinated meat). So we go back in and get a big bag of ice. I decide to get a jug of water. Everyone votes against it. I say we'll need it.
Set out from Giant, on to the open road. Binh was driving, seemed to know where we were going. He said he knew a park nearby.
We get to the park, get out of the car and ask a couple where we can set up a BBQ.
Big surprise, there was a bomb threat nearby, so the park is closed. A bomb threat. In the middle of bumblef**k PA.
Things are going great so far. Just as expected.
We head out in another direction. We're on the highway, and see a turn up front. Almost crashed, and made a dangerous left turn on the highway.
Still looking for another park by the river. We see the river in the distance but can't get to the park yet.
Found a detour sign. Took the detour. It led us around the area. We find a parking lot, and can see the river, but no park.
Circle the parking lot twice.
Turns out that's the parking lot for the park.
Get out of car. Find the deck (first picture).
Find the grill stands. Prepare the coal. Put the meat on sticks. Set up meat on grill with epic optimum heat transfer formation.
Turns out my water jug came in handy. i_told_you_so.gif
Took a bunch of pictures. Ate some really awesome fresh grilled food. Hung out with some of the best people I've met.
People say what counts is the journey, not the destination. In our case, it was both. I say what really counts is the company you keep. Everything else falls into place.
