Just got home from the event... quite a lot of fun and some HUGE names in BBQ were there. Our table was front row right by the stage. Food wasn't the best (I scored the chicken a 3-4-3) but the event itself was fun. They had raffles for a ton of door prizes and also about 50 contests across the country donated free entries. I didn't win a damned thing but Brother Wayne won a massage at a day spa (open invite to whip him some chit! LOL), BBQ sauce and an entry into a contest in North Carolina I believe. Got a few photos but didn't have many photo ops. Ray signed my book (Thanks Doc!) and my wife got a photo of us. Then after it was over, we got a Brethren photo... Ray, Rod, Wayne and myself. Ulcer Acres was there too but I didn't get meet Randy. I got to meet several names associated with Q and the KCBS, including Ed Roith who will be teaching the CBJ class I'm doing next weekend in St. Louis.
Anyway, I'm beat as hell so I won't be uploading any photos tonight... I'll take care of that tomorrow in this thread but it was a fun time and if any of you get a chance to be here next year, I would recommend it.
Oh yeah, and I got a chance to do a little campaigning for you too Phil! One un-named candidate said on his card he had distributed on tables that he was a candidate for the "KSBC" Board of directors. It got a few chuckles at our table! Wish I would have known that campaign business cards were being distributed before I attended and I would have gotten with you to send some to me, Phil. We'll know next time...
G'night Bros!
