This weekend was a blast. Well, other than that pork entry that was turned in but we won't talk about that here. It was great to see a lot of my Brethren (and Sistern) this weekend and congrats to all of those that got calls.
Dallas, it was good to meet you and Donna. Sorry we showed up while you were prepping but it was so nice of you to take the time to show us the pit and talk for a bit. I am still in awe over that pit and love the logo.
Kim and Andy....thanks for helping me to see the light and adding "toy hauler" to my list of Father's Day gifts :mrgreen:. Seriously, it was great to finally meet ya'll and thank you for the hospitality Friday and Saturday afternoon. Kim, thanks so much for the garnish tip and Andy, I'm so glad you found your azz when ya'll got that pork call.
Wayne, it was nice to finally put a face with a name. Sorry we interrupted your nap, brother. But be honest, telling tales over a couple of brews beats the heck out of sleep, now doesn't it? Between you, Andy, Jeff and Justin, ya'll had me in tears with your jokes and stories.
Rodger....I'll never forget walking up to your site in my brethren shirt and you recognizing it right off the bat and making us feel at home. It was good to meet you and your brother and thanks for the Shiners too!
And finally, Jeff and Stacy.....we sure didn't expect you to be there but were so glad to see you again. It was like Pine Bluff all over. Ya'll are always a blast to hang with. I have the chicken tips burned in my memory now and will put them to use soon.
Looking forward to seeing all of ya'll next year in either Little Rock in the spring or Hot Springs in the fall.
I'm just wondering, can a competition count as a mini-bash??
