Oinktoberfest

[Uncle Bubba]

Does anyone know, for sure, if the BBQ Central teams are going to be together for Oinktoberfest??

Also heard a rumor that tickets will be sold for $20 each for Charlie Daniels. Any truth to this?

How many teams are coming so far??

 

[wittdog]

Tickets for CD are $20 a pop...
Don't know about the teams being togheter the CD is creating logistic nightmares...
And the contest is now full...I think 47 teams...and a few on a waiting list maybe

 

[wittdog]

Yeah but I'm thinking we will be able to hear him just fine from our comp spots..and have chairs and our own beer or mixed drinks..and food just my .02

 

[Uncle Bubba]

I want $20 for having to listen to him. Better get there early as maneuvering around may present a problem. I heard many NEBS teams are not coming back. If this turns out to be a clusterF$#%, I won't be back either.

I thought the entry fee included a couple of passes to the concert. They did this also at Madison, IN for the Elvin Bishop concert. I let my wife and a friend have the wristband that got them into the concert. I did not have the time to go to the concert.

We'll be at Oinktoberfest. Not reall sure what has the NEBS teams PO'd but we'll be there. I've always enjoyed the contest and look forward to seeing our NY friends there.

Maybe Pigs, Wittdog, or better yet George could get the answers for us.

Also if the comp is sold out it would be nice to see a list of the teams so we know who is coming!

I believe Pigs talked to George and it looks like we are most likely going to be all together.

Just so it's not in the mud.

Be prepared for ANY kind of weather including...never mind, don't even want to mention it. Just remember what happened the following Wednesday after last year's event. If you can't remember, go back in the archives and you'll find it. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole gang and meeting the one's I haven't.

I'm offering to pick up Greg on the way up so he won't even have to pay for gas.

After last weekend I will be bringing extra tents even just to be sure a heater etc etc.

I overpack at the best of times anyways LOL.

Make sure you bring a heated cover for your computer so your cookers will still work in the cold.

Well I BBQ'ed in -26 C (-15 F)weather many times. THis should be no problem.

We are pretty tough cookies up here when it comes to weather.
