• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Point of No Return!

Guys, I wanted to give you an update on our start-up competition team. Since meeting Tim, Dave, and Jimmy at Dillard last month, I guess I've stepped off the deep end. My daughter still asks to go back to the "Smokey Fair," and to be fair, I can't wait either!

First, Nauti-Que Competition BBQ Team is now official :D . However, we are still working on a logo in which we are trying to merge pigs, pirates, boats, and bikinis! We have plans to attend the comps in Vidalia, Hampton, and Dillard next year, and maybe a bash (I can wish can't I?).

Next, I have just hung up the phone with Ben Lang, and we will be picking up a Lang Mobile 60 just as soon as I can get down there. We had narrowed the choices down to a Large Spicewine, a Ed Ortone Smoker, and the Lang. I sincerely regret not meeting Jay, but I enjoyed meeting both Ed and Ben. If the catering side takes off, we will probably pick up a Spicewine due to its effeciency.

In addition to the smoker, we have been steadily gathering the gear needed to compete. We have secured tables, canopy, coolers, lights, bins, and a list of stuff that I cannot even remember off the top of my head!! We are also putting together a sponser plan, but are also blessed by the interest and assistance that our family has provided!

Again, I want to thank the Brethren for being such an inspiration, and a wealth of knowledge. I only hope that I can live up to such high standards! Also, I have to credit Tim's speech for getting me so excited about spending THOUSANDS of dollars to just get my teeth kicked in :twisted: !

Thanks again,
Noah
 
Welcome to the really "Dark Side" Noah :lol:
You will do fine!
More later.

TIM
 
Oooh, are you in trouble now! :twisted:

Welcome, indeed, to the dark side. :D
 
You have the right attitude!! Just remember not to take things to seriously and it will continue to be fun for you. Go Get Em!!
 
Sounds like you're on your way, Noah. Remember, we want pics of the Lang!
 
Congrats, Noah! I like the name... For the logo, how about a pig pirate on the bow of a pirate ship, and instead of the standard mermaid figurehead on the bow of the ship, have a pig mermaid in a bikini... Can you visualize that?

Sorry... I'm going back to my coffee now... :-D
 
Welcome to the dark side.

But for God's sake man - get your daughter out now while you still can!!!

Or begin building the multi-generational dynasty!

Ya if you love her that is. :wink:
 
I think its too late. After meeting "Uncles" Tim and Dave, and all the attention she recieved, she has taken the plunge with me!

As far as the pig w/ a bikini, we were at the beach on Sea Island last month, and saw much, much worse! Nothing like large expat europeans in speedos!
 
Two questions,

1. Besides the KCBS, where else might you need to register your team name?

2. This might not be a problem anytime soon, but do most of you consider your teams a business? I was wondering what you need to do in the case of any winnings. I prefer to work under the table, but I don't want to get in any trouble!

Thanks,
Noah

KCBS 1099's you for winnings.
 
The KCBS will send you a 1099 so you can do what you want but the gov will know if you win
 
Congrats Noah on taking the plunge! I'm sure you'll have a blast doing it. And the place you registered your name....was it the bbqteamnames.com site? That's the only one I know of.
 
Noah

Great to see you’re taking the plunge.
Let me be the first to invite you and all bros to a competition.

I'll see what I can do. We should be back for Springfield, MO by then. What's lodging like down there that time of year?
