HEADS UP! Blue Springs, MO is filling up!

Just heard that as of today, there are only ten spaces left if you want to cook Blue Springs and haven't paid yet! I understand that last year there was a 20 team waiting list. Get 'em while they're left if you haven't already!

Thanks for the info.......Bass Pro will catch part of what doesn't get in at Blue Springs.

Someday, I will cook Blue Springs....it was a visit there that got me started cooking, buying the 'dera, and visiting this site.

Hey Gary, just thinking (and maybe it's not a good idea)... what if Blue Springs was notified by Bass Pro about their contest and contact info , then when they fill up, ask Blue springs if they'll point out to teams that there's a contest in Columbia the same day as an alternative to Blue Springs. Might not hurt as some folks might not keep up with the KCBS site like we all do! :wink: Maybe Bass Pro even offers to draft a letter and send it up to Blue springs with some stamped envelopes to mail out to anyone who sends an entry to BS after it's full. Just my marketing brain kicking in... may not be feasible.:lol:

Besides Big Creek, I know Wayne and Bob are cooking this one. Anyone else?

And due to being too late to get in on DeSoto, ruling out the drive to Hermann and refusing to cook the open at the Royal, it appears Blue Springs MAY be it for us this year unless an idea I had this afternoon involving Arthur, IL works out.:wink: Wasn't exactly the way I envisioned this season ending...

Oops! sorry! Forgot we had something on this contest already,,,

Ruling out the drive to Hermann?? Hell gas is 50 cents a gallon cheaper now than in July!! Get your butt entered!

SloppyQ · Sep 1, 2006

Sloppy's crew will be there. Can't do Hermann either, have too much invested in the Cup race that same weekend.

Greatgrills · Sep 1, 2006

Hermann should be a good time you should go

Jeff_in_KC · Sep 2, 2006

We're considering a plan for Arthur, IL instead. We'll see!

Doorbusters · Sep 2, 2006

Good luck to wherever you go...Why did you say that you were refusing to cook the AR open? You guys are a good team you should take the chance and cook the royal. From what I have seen you guys do pretty good.

Thank you Mark! Coming from you, I take that as a huge compliment!

The reason we decided against it was MAINLY that I decided I like smaller comps a lot better (40-60 team range). I'm not good with crowds at all. But we really were less than thrilled with our first experience there last year. If we had not been over on the dark side, I believe things would have been better. You probably know what goes on over behind the Royal building out by the tracks... huge parties, drunks taking a whiz wherever they felt the urge, numerous fights, people walking in and swiping your food. I went to DeSoto two weeks later and LOVED it. While the GAB had really good service to the teams, I didn't enjoy myself as much there as I did Platte City, Sedalia and Cameron.

DeanC · Sep 2, 2006

I had a guy walk up and take the lid off of one of my cookers at about 2 am at the Royal last year. He realized the error in his ways and replaced it. Still, in my opinion the Royal is not even close to being as bad as Lenexa as far as the parties. You can't even move on Friday nights and would be better off walking to a gas station to take a leak. I will never set foot in that place again, but there is just something about the American Royal...

HoDeDo · Sep 3, 2006

anyone interested in unsanctioned contests in the midwest - could also consider Greeley, KS that weekend. It is a fundrasier for childrens charities in the county. Fun contest.

Greatgrills · Sep 4, 2006

Did you request to be on the other side? The AR is not all that bad. Although we have never had to cook on the dark side we have gone over there and oh my!!!! If you don't find a place to compete at you are more then welcome to come and hang out with us. Just let us know...

We'll be out there, Mark. Not cooking but I have volunteered my services to assist the Meatheads during the open (gotta work during the invitational). We will stop by to say hello.

Honestly, last year was my first Royal and I had no clue. I just turned in my entry with no space number request as I figured being new, I'd get the worst one anyway! LOL! I would know better now!

The_Kapn · Sep 9, 2006

And the winner is....

Hope I picked out all the Brethren Teams :redface:
If not, holler and I will fix it!

Some "Walkin' goin' on" there!

Congrats to all!!!

Way to go Jeff, Wayne and Rod !!!

Jeff - 1st place chicken...nice job... what was your score if you beat a second place 174.85 ?

Jeff_in_KC · Sep 9, 2006

Vinny, we were SO close to the ultimate goal of 180! We totaled 178.8572 a mere 1.14 points short! Not sure we'll ever be able to top that score on anything! Ended up 12th place overall because our brisket was 37th and ribs 59th! Wow... pretty inconsistent! But a good result! I'm putting 10% of our winnings this weekend into the fund for Jeanne and Zach via PayPal.

Almost forgot... my wife got 1st place in the mild salsa category. My daughter finished 13th out of 16 kids in the 5-10 year old kids Q.... a good opportunity for us to teach after her first place last time. She understood completely and was not upset by it after the initial surprise of not hearing her name called. I'm still proud of her.
