From: TECRUS::WEISENBACH "Outlets for hostility... 05-Jun-1992 1730" 5-JUN-1992 17:38:31.46 To: @PIG.DIS CC: Subj: directions again... ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* What: PIG ROAST! Where: Lew's place in Southboro! Directions included again, in case you deleted them! Who: You, family, friends! When: SATURDAY JUNE 13th! Around noon! Or the night before, whenever... How: Bring a side-dish to share, beer and pork provided! ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* Okay, everything seems on track. We have a preliminary count, and Chuck has ordered a monster of a swine: the big 1-7-5-lbs! A true champion porker! We also have a lot of volunteer wood, which we thank you for. The first shipment will be monday, and we'll work down the list until we get enough to roast that sucker. The only holes left are reserving kegs, and then the party itself. Remember that as part of the deal you are expected to bring a side-dish, suitable for sharing and eating along side a steaming mound of roasted pig flesh. While not everyone should bring vietnamese spring rolls, you should try to bring at least chips or potato salad. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BEGIN THE BESEECHING OF THE RAIN GOD TO SPARE THE PIG ROAST! You may have your own rituals, but if you don't, here's a favorite of mine: In a double boiler, melt 16oz of baker's chocolate. Add 1/2 cup of butter, or vegetable oil. Stir. Add 2 cups of vodka, keep stirring, and bring to a boil. When the boil begins, throw in a match. If the signs are favorable, a big fireball should erupt from the double-boiler. Once the flames lower and the smoke turns dense and sickly-sweet, begin chanting a favorite nursery rhyme about rain. As you chant, pour water into the flaming pan. The hiss that dies away symbolizes a lowered chance of rain. Wear safety goggles. PSA: If you tend to drink too much, bring a sleeping bag and stay over. Lew won't notice. And finally, once again, the DIRECTIONS! * The Pig Roast will be at #26 Fairview Drive, Southboro MA. The phone * * number is 508-460-8024. Lew might be there if you call. * Three ways to get to Lew's place: ** Route #1 Take Rt.85 south past Rt.9, crossing over the recently refurbished bridge. Make a right onto Mt. Vickery, which is the first right after CF trucking on the left. Follow this turning, treacherously twisty roadway for a ½ a mile. The road ends at a T intersection, marked only by a large tree appearing before you (and a stop sign). Turn left at the T, onto Middle road. Follow Middle road for a short while, turning right at the first stop sign. Now you're on Parkerville street. Take the first paved left onto Fairview, ignoring the dirt road that will be before Fairview. Follow Fairview up and around. The first right is Summit street, the second right is really Fairview veering to the right. Follow Fairview around that right, #26 is the first set of mailboxes after the corner. ** Route #2 From Rt.495 and points west, take Rt.9 east. Turn right onto Parkerville street from Rt.9. Parkerville is across from the Andrea restaurant that's on the left side of Rt.9, and right over the hill marked by a big yellow sign advertising "Eagle Leasing". A small yellow caution sign marks the turn, with the STOP sign for the street also helping to make it more visible. This is a difficult turn to spot. If you don't see it, abort the maneuver and proceed to the route #3 instructions. Once on Parkerville street, Fairview is the second right. The sign is totally obscured by trees though, so be careful. Follow Fairview up and around. The first right is Summit street, the second right is really Fairview veering to the right. Follow Fairview around that right, #26 is the first set of mailboxes after the corner. ** Route #3 If you miss the turn onto Parkerville, continue on Rt.9 to the next right turn, which is right after a small, gross looking sub shop on the right. This is Middle street, appropriately named since it is in between the other two routes. Anyway, follow Middle road for a short while, turning right at the first stop sign. Now you're on Parkerville street. Take the first paved left onto Fairview, ignoring the dirt road that will be before Fairview. Follow Fairview up and around. The first right is Summit street, the second right is really Fairview veering to the right. Follow Fairview around that right, #26 is the first set of mailboxes after the corner.
