Roll Call. Inside 30 days. Lexington Battle-Green BBQ Festival, Lexington, MA

[CBQ]

One would hope the organizer shows up. :becky:

Sled is rolling with Bobby Q bbq out of Westport for Greenwich. The Perfect Butt helped Sled last year with TGTP and we went through all of our food 60 racks of Ribs and 70lbs of chicken wings in 35 min. This yr it myself, my wife and daughter. I don't know if they can tolerate me for 2 weekends. BTW, Fatback Joe is still my Chicken Guy for the record.

RV Parking? :heh:

That's not going to stop you guys from coming, is it?

 

[boogiesnap]

steve, are we on grass or pavement?

 

[Sledneck]

Unfortunately I couldnt make things work. With cape cod not happeNing this year this would of been perfect.

 

[Meat@Slim's]

Dylan and all,

Contest is on pavement.

Lowe's will be providing 75 5 gallon buckets, which will not be enough for everyone, but will help with tying your tents securely.

Please prepare accordingly.

I will address this directly with the teams as we get closer via email.

That's not going to stop you guys from coming, is it?

It might. That would be three back-to-back contests (between Smoke in the Valley and Roc City), and our turn around time is 3-4 times longer when we have to switch from the RV to the trailer and back again. On top of that, Paul can't make it due to work obligations.

On the other hand it is close, lots of Brethren there, and it is almost certainly going to be warmer than last year. :becky:

Hopefully drier too.

Hi Steve. Any word yet on site sizes? I know on the app it was 20'x20' but you also said to let you know if my team needed more space, as I did on the app. Our trailer is 28' long.

Yeah, last year was tough. Well, at least it looked like it was tough from my hotel room. :grin:

 

[Meat@Slim's]

Get your application in!

 

[Fatback Joe]

The next two weeks can't go fast enough.

I get itchy for all the comps, but the first one of the season for me seems to take for ever to get here.

 

[boogiesnap]

i wish they'd slow down! i'm nowhere nears ready to compete against you guys.

on the other hand, i totally agree, joe. :becky:

There is a cool hotel right down the street. We stayed there last year and loved it.
