From Sewanee local and SOL vet Pete Trenchi:

The next porch party / jam is set for Saturday, June 20, 2009 starting at 5ish ish - which means you can come earlier, esp. if you need kitchen facilities to prepare that which you are bringing to supplement the - 5
(five, count ‘em) beer can chickens and mess of cheap hamburgers that I will provide. Also - a free beer to anyone who can identify the make model and year of every car I have. Hint, you must find them all first.
If the above food plus spring based tap water doesn’t meet your needs (entirely) you should bring it with you. If you are musical bring it on.

Directions: take University Ave (as if you were going to the Sewanee Inn) to turn left onto Texas Avenue.  Take Texas Ave past the Fowler center & to the football field (equal to maybe 3 blocks or perhaps 1/4 mile) & turn right onto Roarks Cove Road (directly across from the football field - which is surrounded by stone pillars, one of which Abbot hit back when he used to live in the house where Meg lives. That put and end to Abbot driving his 1957 (Confederate Gray) Chevy pickup truck around town terrorizing pedestrians. Yeah, I know, back to the directions, but if Prunty can have Abbot flashbacks, so can I). Once you have turned right, go 1.4 miles (to 1431 Roarks Cove - okay, 1.43 miles if you are into precision address matching) & look for the slightly obscured sign & driveway immediately before the pond & willow trees (one of which just died, @#$%^ global warming). If you overshoot the drive, or just want the convenience of overflow parking, you can pull in below the pond, park there & walk up. You will have passed Old Mine Road on your left and Junk Lane on your right just before you get to my place.

Here’s the invite from Pete Trenchi, who knows how quickly our schedules fill up in June:

Since a yard party at my place is part of the deal & since I have been having monthly porch party / jam sessions, the two should converge into one yard party / jam session on Saturday June 20, 2009.  Save the date.  It will start in the afternoon & continue; food will be basic plus what folks bring; drinks will be spring untested spring water plus what folks bring.  etc.
