From: BINKLY::WEISENBACH "It's not enough to be loud, you have to suck too. 11-May-1990 1553" 11-MAY-1990 18:15:23.48 To: @PIG.DIS CC: Subj: Remember: No pig if you get there late! The Pig Roast will be at #26 Fairview Drive, Southboro MA. The phone number is 508-460-8024. This is it folks! The last reminder/information before the big event! The pig is ready, the beer is ready, the wood supply is almost set. Mother Nature watered down the grass, so it won't burn too much. The wood pyramid is a little out of shape, due to miscommunication between the people shlepping the wood ("Here?" "No, here!" "This is better..."). Speaking of the pig, it is a monster! One hundred and seventy pounds of rippling flesh, lean and mean, raised on grain and fully approved by the U.S. government. Guaranteed to be tasty! The huge, deceased porker is resting comfortably in Lew's living room (possibly behind the couch, where I crashed last year). We'll get off to an early start this year with the cooking, owing to its huge bulk. The fire will be lit around 9:30, the swine will be swung into place about 10 o'clock. Come by and see tomorrow's meal today. So, remember the following: [1] The Pig Roast will be at #26 Fairview Drive, Southboro MA. The phone number is 508-460-8024, and the directions are attached. [2] Tomorrow is the big day! It promises to be warm and sunny day, perfect for a raucous little feast! [3] Bring a side-dish/desert/chips! Creativity will be appreciated as long as it isn't lethal. Remember: oat bran! [4] Come hungry, 170 lbs of pig can't go too quickly, right? [5] Come thirsty, an excellent brew is on tap. [6] Come early! The party gets started around 1:00, the succulent swine will be hacked into slices around 4:00. Drop by any time though, someone will be around (just stay upwind). [7] Come happy! [8] Stay late! If you need to stay late to dry out, space will be found for you. *** DIRECTIONS TO THE PIG ROAST! ** 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 AAA trucking on the left. Follow this paved, meandering cow path through the woods for a half a mile. The road ends at a T intersection, marked only by a large tree appearing before you. 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 Rt.9 and Rt.85 interchange, following the route #1 instructions from there. 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.
