Anyone going?

I'll be there, if you come out, stop by and say hi. Unless it is right around turn in time, I'll be more than happy to sit, have a drink, and BS for a bit.....if after turn in, you are welcome to eat anything that hasn't gone to the judges.

I am easy to miss........no big motorhome, no fancy trailer, just a guy with a cooker and an EZ up.

Supposedly I will be right next to Jacks Old South (Myron Mixon - multi MIM champ).......if you found them.....then you find me.
 
Unfortunately, I'm stuck way up here in the frozen tundra...but I do want to wish you the best of luck.

Knock their socks off! and be sure to let us know how well you do!

Cheers,
Brian
 
MAN! Friends of the family have a place we can stay in Winterhaven...just there last July. Where exactly in Winterhaven are they holding it?
 
I'll be there. I'll be the guy in his late 30s with a black smoker..........

that should help narrow it down. LOL
 
Thanks guys! There will be some big names out there, but that is the great thing about this sport/hobby/obsession.......everyone has got a shot.
 
I look forward to good results Joe! You learned some good lessons at the first one so lets see what happens this time!
 
Well, when it was all said and done I wound up 8th in ribs out of 44 teams. Middle of the pack on chicken and brisket. Now pork.........pork hurt me.......43 out of 44. I guess it is back the to the drawing board on pork. My scores improved on the other 3 catogories so overall I feel like I am moving in the right direction.

Other than being sick all weekend, I had a good time. Most of my drinking was confined to a Nyquill bottle.

The best part was having my 8 year old daughter go up and grab the plaque and check.........she seemed more excited about it than I was.

.

It was nice talking to you there and hope to see you again soon.
 
It was nice meeting you..........yeah, by the time the awards were rolling around I was really feeling poor and just wanting to get out of there as quick as I could. I was not enjoying the wait. LOL
