The backseat of my jeep right now after my buddy (head redbull rep for the area) just dropped off another dozen or so cases to supplement the main drop at the booth earlier today:


Tonight is like christmas eve, except I'm looking forward to pork and booze instead of presents.

Thanks for posting pictures. Hope you guys have fun!

My wife and I will be leaving fort campbell sometime on Friday (army time is always TBD) getting there later on Friday . We are trying to eat as much BBQ as we can hold, Ive heard we wont be able to eat any of the teams BBQ (not happy about it), so what sort of vendors can we expect and has it been pretty good? We will be the late 20's tattooed couple with a 6 month old.
Looking forward to this weekend

Heads up... looking like rain fri/saturday so I advise folks to bring rain gear just in case!

WOW1 What a great MIM BBQ contest. Four days of great food, adult beverages, and fun. I really really liked being in the 7 foot tall Swedish Chef costume and taking photos with all the cute girls who said they just love the Chef. Thank you Muppet Show. " Hurka Durska Do. Memphis has the Bar be que." Only 358 days until 2014 load-in. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and say hi. We enjoyed having you with us. Remember we will have open memberships for our Brethren Brothers for next year. Start making your plans early and join a team that will make your MIM experience one you will remember for the rest of your life! Just be warned it could become a habit and you will want to come every year. Many on the first timers this year said they are coming back. It is like a family reunion every year to see friends that will always be your Too Sauced To Pork brothers and sisters. Thanks to everyone.

How did the mixer/competition/party go for everyone? Hate we missed it this year, but looks like I had better weather in Jamaica so it might not have been a lost cause.

Was anyone wearing a cream Breathern shirt in my honor? haha
