Thanks Mike and all the fine GLBBQA folks who have made commitments to organize and run this event. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again this spring!

It sounds like a good time to me!

I am going to need a spot with power so I can put up my electric fence to keep the shigging to a minimal :p

Does that mean the lang is staying home and you guys are drumming it?

[michiana mark]

Drums X 4

Lang will stay at home for this one. If I was doing the cook-off myself, I'd bring the Lang.. I love the half hour naps it affords me.

With the drum, and as that I'm going to be official yard bird cook, I can sleep all night. Thought about sleeping at the hotel, but the thought of missing all the fun at night nixed that. That and someone needs to keep an eye on you. This will be your first event. NO SHIGGING AND NO FALLING ASLEEP next to a lit pit for you.

[sfisch]

Naps are essential for good "Q", thats one of the tricks they did not want anyone to know on Pitmasters. 'Cept when that one bonehead slept all night.

You're not going to get "over-jacked" again are you?

[Bbq Bubba]

If I have anything to do with it he will. :)

My wife will be glad you are watching out for me so I don't burn down my trailer and EZ up. :D

This is a practice event and I am a rookie so the rules should say SHIGGING ALLOWED!

I finishing up my 2nd drum right now for Eagle. I am hoping I can get everything done on 2 drums and my 1 wsm.

We are cooking on drums Mark - we don't need to stay up and add fuel like some of these stick burners and cabinet cookers. Drums are set it and forget it :p

[Rich Parker]

How many teams do we have signed up?

I have been recruiting everybody I see from Michigan and am wondering if it is working. :)

[sfisch]

Haven't gotten an email from Jerry for a few days now. Hopefully someone can chime in soon and let us know.

Don't tell anybody but I was promoted to meat inspector tonite.
We all must follow rules!

I rule with an iron fist, please understand that my security group does all my dirty work.
Remember your entering an area of sub culture of folks that have not been technically been defined yet, I can not be responsible for their outcome.:D

Rookies can't. The first comp trimmings must be done under the watchful eye of a seasoned pro. Call the Rev.
