ok, there's lots of stories, but they'll have to wait till tomorrow.
First, got to thank Woody...if he hadn't been there, I probably would have missed turning in a couple of categories! Woody stayed all night on site
and was an equal member of the team...we also sold some sauce and got more donations for his nets program.
Also thanks to some folks who don't read this board...Rita, who made
a great sauce for the salmon, Crystal and Kelli, who work with me
and support my bbq efforts, Sherri and Melody, who show up, look
good, and provide emotional support. More on the BBQuties later.
I have to say ..I don't know what to say about Tim from JT's, Kilted Kirby,
and Jamie from Road Kill Grill...these guys are friends and very talented
competitors...I'd hate to guess how many comps tim and Kilby have won.
I was in between them.
You know how much we poke each other on this board and turn right around and help each other? That's how it was this weekend...we all
helped each other do the best we could...it was just freaking nice.
Hard to describe, but we laughed, played tricks on each other,
gave each other stuff we had forgotten,....it was the way bbq
comps should be. If I had won nothing, it would have been worth it
to see that some people in the bbq world are still the folks who
built the bbq world.
Thanks to the SCBA for judging this contest...there's a lot of
hard work to get over 60 judges down here on Labor Day weekend.
Big GQ was the Grand Marshall and did a great job.
And how about all the guys here who answered my phone calls with progress updates!! lol, got calls from at least 4 different guys from
the board, and it's great to know that people are pulling for you.
got to see old friends, yada yada yada, I'm tired. thanks and c ya
