Detroit autorama HAMB meet & greet + party

I just want to say thanks to Hotrodladycruiser for organizing the HAMB meet & greet and the HAMB mingle that was at her house. I met a lot of fellow HAMBERS & had a super fun time, in fact I'm still kinda hung over. The autorama was good but the party's were better. Did anyone else get to see The Twistin Tarantulas first set? Spaghetti Man? WTF!

 

i caught the Twistin Tarantulas sunday but missed em saturday. they were great fun. went and saw the Reverand Horton Heat saturday night. what an AWESOME show. Murder by Death opened for them and was AMAZING!!! the girl on the Electric Chelo was mesmerizing!!!. i could'nt take my eyes off her the whole time. i don't even know what the rest of the band looks like or even how many people are in it. LOL ...you just had to see it, the way she looked, the way she moved, the way she played!! WOW! i was sure to express my sincere appreciation of her performance to her after their set was over.

....oh yeah. and the car show was cool too!!

 

Sorry we missed the party at Denise's house...we were getting kinda drunk by 9PM or so, and driving or even riding in cars was out of the question.

 

You missed Squiggy falling down the stairs about 5 times. That dude is nucking futs. The mingle was cool, I got too drunk and sunday hurt.

 

Sorry I missed that. We left the party before Squiggy got there. I did have the pleasure of hanging with Squiggy for a little while at the autorama. Cool dude, my kinda guy. Whatever was in that Coke bottle he was drinking out of sure did the trick.

 

last year it was only two times.

Squigy keeps setting the bar higher.

 

I was just excited that we had "Journey's greatest hits" on repeat all night!

Thanks again for having us Denise, it's always a good time...

 

I am so sad I had to miss the party. It was good seeing everyone though at the Autorama. Thanks again for the flyers LuckyDevil, I should have taken more! I'm sure we will run into each other again though before the event.
And thanks to Steve (HotRod2Hell) for the mini- HAMB relay, I trust the package made it safely??

Missed you ThirdyFivepickup! (your weekend must have ****ed knowing all the fun we were having...)

 

Yeah, I missed seeing all of my friends again... but I had memorable weekend back here in Indiana. You couldn't pry the smile off of my face if you tried!

 

Dang. I'd planned to spend Saturday there with the boys and don't you know 11 am departure time rolls around and Eli (age 11) says "Dad, can you get me a water?" I bring it to him and ask what's up, he says "I think I'd better stay home, I'm gonna PUKE" but the word didn't come out, just breakfast.

So Court and I spent the rest of the day cutting up a 54 Chevy parts car. Got it almost all done, though!

 

I still want to know what hair band Michael Bolton sang for! I think you guys are full of ****! You never did come up with an answer to that one. I wonder if the pompodour guys chick still loves him after the hell we put her through?

 

yeah i got pictures of the master of faster!!!! ill post later...

I saw sqiggy sitting in the auction seats at 9pm and i told him Denise just called and said for me to find him and tell him the place is padded and they have a helmet waiting for him..cool guy..I went over to the POST and laid down some art on the pool table.....girls toilet...sinks...and me and chooey signed the tv screens..good times after them twirps from chicago split!

So did Grimm and Jim take the spaghetti man to Denises place?

Denise missed her own party?

 

I hope someone took some video of that guy. I tried to explain "Spaghetti Man" to my wife and found it impossible to translate into words. Imagine if Mick Jagger & Richard Simmons had a hyperactive love child.

 

Made it standing thru the whole party this year. Very rough Sunday. I'm at work re-coop-erating. More later

 

Thanks for co-ordindating the meet and greets Denise! Lots of fun and great meeting everyone!- GZ

 

paint fumes didn't get to you this year, huh?

 

I'm happy to announce EVERYONEs clothes stayed on this year and no one ended up with paint in the eyes, hair or on other body parts and only one gl*** panel counter top got broken in the mahem. I'm sure there will be photos I can share later tonight with the complete story.

I really missed you though....no one else wore a lampshade

 

I voted for "John Tesh's Greatest Hits" but Denise didn't have it...bummer!

 

Alright Gotti, you asked for it, you got it......

Micahel Bolton's hair band was called Blackjack.

Also, he DID write a song (co-write?) with KISS, yeah that KISS.

The song was Forever.

So, there you go !!

Great meeting / partying with you Bro.

Thanks for opening your house up to everyone Denise, I had a great time! How does Squiggy do that? I try not to think about it too much.

Thanks Denise, The kitchen and bar was awesome...We had a blast. Any party with 1959 vintage whisky and everyone staying past 5am is very hard to beat. It was nice to see some familiar faces and get to know some new. I still think Datdirtyrat and movingman(gotti) are secretly related. Big chief... I still need the recipe for that "CRACK", I need another hit. Top notch stuff. Squiggy said Luckysgal has a good leg ******* next time. rbroadster should change his name to lucky something also, that AJ is a keeper. And i think Flatman owes us all a 671

Can't wait to do this again, soon.

.

 

My side is still hurting from laughing all night. Best time I've had in years. Thank you for having us!

 

As everyone else has said, thanks fer letting us in. Can't believe a chick lives in that house. A woman who diamondplates her kitchen walls has my respect for sure. I did have a killer headache for the 14 hour drive home but it was all worth it. Thanks again!

Mootz

 

Man , he has that damn coke bottle EVERY TIME i see him, and i still dont know whats in it, everyone says hes supposed to be good with fixin stainless, Im gonna have him do a few pieces. unfortunatly Missed the meat+greet i was upstairs striping, Ill be there next year though

 

Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip.......AKA - HAMB CRACK by Bigchief.


Three 8oz packages of creme cheese.

One 8oz container of sour creme.

16oz shredded Monteray Jack and/or cheddar cheese

Three 10oz cans of canned chicken.

1/2 cup of Franks Red Hot.

2 table s****s of ****er.

Some season salt.

Pepper (Black)

Blue cheese dressing


Pull creme cheese out of fridge and allow to warm up/soften. You can use warm water (leave it in the foil) or a microwave (remove from foil first or you'll be calling the fire dept) to help speed things along - but don't go nuts, just get them softened up a bit. Drain chicken and place in frying pan on medium heat. Warm chicken up to drive out some of the moisture. Use a spatula (or whatever) to break up the chicken into very small pieces/fibers. Add ****er and season salt (to taste) to melt ****er and get the chicken good and warm - approaching hot. Add FRANKS and stir it into the meat well. Remove pan from heat and allow to start cooling.

Place the softened creme cheese and sour creme in a large mixing bowl and use a power mixer/beater to combine the two and mix vigorously remove lumps. Mix until smooth. Add 1/2 of the shredded cheese from the package and mix (using the mixer) until uniformly distributed. Add the chicken/****er/FRANKS combo and, again using the power mixer, combine the ingredients and mix/blend thoroughly. At this point you'll want to taste the mix and might need to add more FRANKS to it.

Place the mix into a large gl*** baking dish (maybe 11x14 or 16 or so??) and spread it out evenly. Add blue cheese to the surface of the mix and spread it out evenly - add it to taste, its good without it too or you can subs***ute Ranch as well. Finally put the remaining shredded cheese on top of everything - spread it out evenly and add extra cheese if you'd like - and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until you see that the cheese is melted and that the dip is bubbling.

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve hot, warm or cold. Its good at any temp. Serve with Scoops, celery or eat the stuff with a s**** if thats your gig.

You can do a chicken-chili dip by subs***uting chili powder, beans and onions for the Franks and you can also do a Mexican version using ground beef, taco seasoning and onions instead of the chicken, ****er and Franks.

Enjoy!

-Bigchief.

 

Thank you, you are my new best friend

 

You know you are now REQUIRED to make and bring this dish to every HAMB event you attend.....no excuses or exceptions



I'm still uploading photos and writing "story"

 

I just snagged Bigchief's and cleaned it out for him.

Flatman

 

No Meet & Greet on Sunday but I had a blast anyhow. Got to see the Tarantulas once they got the missing drumsticks. GREAT version of "Folsom Prison Blues"! Got to see the Rev that night, gave my extra ticket to the valet parking dude at the hotel--and he went! Got to watch Jimbo triple-slap his b*** thru THEIR version of "Folsom" at 150 bpm!! They played for TWO hours! And were kind enough to autograph my copy of "Revival." That opening band, ******s, was interesting: Celtic Psychobilly, I dont understand it but it was good!
