Visiting Brethren
 

Had the chance to go to the LA area so I had to stop and talk with some of the Brethren! I went to visit BigMista Neil Strawder and his crew at the farmers market. After a slight detour to the wrong farmers market :doh:, I finally met up with Neil.

The food was great and here is what was left of the sampler before I could get the camera out!

After meeting Neil, I actually drove to Steph's, Simply Marvelous BBQ himself, house!

Steph made comp ribs and got me thinking about competing myself!

All in all it was a great time with some great Brethren and great Que!

Jeff

Hope you brought me a to-go plate from Bigmista's...

Hope you brought me some of Steph's secret competition rub :laugh:

Porks-a-lot, can't remember the the show but i do remember the quote.. Well...

Landarc, Steph only gave me enough for myself! I tried to get you guys some (atleast I think I did).

Jeff

Well you have been a busy guy while in California. Pretty much did the whole state. See you Wednesday!

He hasn't done Santa Rosa and Russian River Brewing, which is too bad really.

True, but a good reason to come back!

What a great trip! Thanks for posting!

I'm not jealous at all!

Pretty cool Jeff and..........^^^what Phu said.:-D

Wow you had a really great trip

Big Mista and Steph are great guys (Don't tell them that I said that, it'll just go to their heads :rolleyes:)

Watch out for that Northern California bunch, however :-P

Thanks everyone, and yes, since I have to come out once every six months I will be back for Russian River!

The guys were great, and I can't wait to meet the Bay area Brethren!

Jeff

Ron, Ron, Ron, you have only seen us at our most cordial and best behavior. Now, if you want to see us with a fire blazing into the night, messing with a pellet gun, as a keg dies a hard death, two might have died, not sure, you want to join us for a Marty Leach backyard bash. And thats all I am gonna say about that. I don't remember much more.

Always great when Brethren pay a visit. Jeff and I talked Q for a few hours.
