[Dixielandjazz] Tailgait Party

[Hal Vickery]

That's how it started, although more likely a station wagon than a pickup.
Nowaday, you just bring the food and grills, etc. in whatever you drive.  At
the ballparks, they just let you set up in the aisles.  People bring tables,
bean bag toss games, etc.  And always lots of beer.

I always thought tailgate parties consisted of an outdoor meal spread out on
the tailgate of a pickup, while parked at a sporting event.  Am I right?
