Beth and I have decided to host a game-watching party at our house this Saturday, Sept. 30, for the Ga. Tech/Va. Tech football game. No matter what happens, Tech is assured a win! (We hope it's the Yellow Jacket variety). If you can't make it all the way up to Blacksburg, just come as far north as Weaverville to watch with a bunch of other Yellow Jacket faithful.
The game is at 3:30 PM on ABC, and weather permitting, we plan to grill hot dogs and hamburgers about halftime. Come out a little early and interact with our llamas!
It will be BYOB and bring a side dish, first-half snack, or dessert to share. We'll provide the burgers and hot dogs. RSVP so we can plan on a number and send you directions.

Ryan's is just past Biltmore Square Mall if you exit I-26 at Brevard Road (Exit 33). We will meet at 11:30 AM and the only cost is the cost of your meal.

At around 12:15, we will be honored to have Stan Pamfilis as our speaker. He is the sports director at local WLOS-TV in Asheville, and also has connections to Tech, as he grew up in Atlanta and has family connections to the North Avenue landmark Junior's Grill. He plans a brief talk, and will save a lot of time for answering questions; so if you want his opinion on any topic, bring your questions!
