As most of you know we qualified last year with our GC at Boulder City but could not make it because of Monica's illness. Well, Debbie from Jack Daniels called me a little bit ago and extended an invitation to me to come to 'The Jack' this year!!! I am floating right now and my hearts about ready to explode.
I (along with Dave from PackerBacker BBQ)will be joining Rhythm 'n' Que and Blakes BBQ as THREE AZ teams will be making that wonderful trip to Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Thanks to Scottie Johnson and the kind folks at Jack Daniels for this opportunity to go to Otis and the Bird's 3rd trip to the most prestigious BBQ contest in the world.
WOW!!
P.S......I still wanna win that GC this weekend though!!! ;)

Jay, CONGRATS... That is the best news. We are so HAPPY for you.
I am so excited that all of you will be out there. We are working our butts off to figure out how to get out there as well. We want to see you all out there and experience it with you.
I know it's not the same as cooking it, but I feel like we all won because all of you are going. It's really an amazing accomplishment. CONGRATS... You certainly deserve it and I'm sure your Guardian Angel, Monica, is jumping for joy as well.
Besides, as our Reigning AZBarbeque Triple Crown Champ, It just makes sense for them to have you back there.
Good Luck this weekend Jay, I know how important that is for you as well. We are all pulling for you. ;)
-
That's great news Jay. Good luck - we will be pulling for you and all the other AZ teams. Show them how we do it out here!! >:D
-
Way to go Jay !!!! Yeah man,wow !!! go get e'm brother ! :) :) :) :)
-
Jay, this is the best news!!! I know that it was the right thing for you to stay home last year and it's the right thing for them to extend you an invitation this year due to the circumstances. Congratulations, buddy!
Many people have said some pretty unfavorable things about the new regime that is handling the Jack these days and I hope this incredible act of thoughtfulness and caring will give those detractors pause to reconsider that the Jack is being run by some damn fine people.
It's certainly going to be an honor to be a part of the Arizona contingent of Otis and the Bird, Blake's BBQ & Rhythm 'n QUE. Let's go get us some of that Tennessee magic!
-
Wow that is awesome! Good luck to all of you that are going!
-
Congrats bud. YOU deserve it... I didn't do anything that was special. I made a call for a friend. It has been hard not saying what I did know though.... ;)
Now, I will work on them and make sure that we are next to each other... See if I have any other strings I can pull.... ;D
You da man Jay. I know that Monica is smiling down on you.
Scottie

Unbelievable! See Jay, theat extra dose of karma you won the other day has paid off already! ;)
This is great news. Good things happen to those who do good, and you are definitely one of the good guys, Jaybird.
Congrats to you and RNQ and Blakes and Scotty! Now I gotta get my flight booked so that I can witness this extravaganza first hand!

That would be great to see some more of our members making this journey to witness this historic occasion. If you are planning on going, let's plan up some group activity while we are back there to show support for these great teams that are going..
-
I'll be there Mike!!! ::) Hoping I can be parked next to Jay... I'll be the guy with the AZ BBQ shirt on.... Tim of course is welcomed to stay and be security if he wants...
-
I'm just hoping that we don't end up in the "No Wake Zone" this year! We had a great spot last year and maybe they'll give it to us again this year.
And you can be sure that we'll be paying the extra few bucks for the private porta potty!
-
I've learned a fwew things in my times going to Lynchburg. The number one thing. My team uniforms for this year instead of a sweatshirt, will include rain jacket... And probably a cancersuckschicago.com knit hat... If I could only figure out how to get my logo on rubber boots, I'd get them too...
-

This is like unleashing your best dogs to find ya the birds.

OK, with 3 Arizona teams making trek plus my trailer, I am expecting a "My friends and my trailer went to the Jack and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" shirt!!! ;)
Congrats to all of you! Now whenever people ask me, "Do you go to any of those Food Network events?" I can say no but I know people who do...it gives us some credibility. Good luck to all of you, we will be rooting for you!
-
That is great news and I am glad that everything worked out for the best. No having to worry if the Utah event has 25. Now go out and get that GC.

I didn't do it for the thanks Dave. I did it for the Jack that you are now going to be bringing!!! ::)
-
WOW!! This is just great news!! Really happy for you Jay!! ;D
-
Wonderful news, Jay. You and all the AZ teams deserve it! :) :) :)
What you don't deserve it to be in a dry county with all that Jack so close at hand. :'( Do they get a special permit for the event to allow JD to be served onsite :question: I once made the pilgrimage to Lynchburg to tour the distillery and it does give you an awful thirst you can't slake, at least on the premises. :-[
-
Jay, that is magnificent. Great news to hear, and 3 teams from AZ. AmAZing!! I feel very proud to be associated with this group right now. Gonna have to give the Jambo an extry coat of polish before leaving, huh?
RnQ, Blake's, O & the Bird, knock 'em dead there. Finish 1, 2, 3. Show em that desert livin' folk know how to handle the HEAT!!
-
Very cool Jay, now you three AZ teams can go kick some A$*!!!
-
Congrats Jay. I'm very excited for you and happy that the folks at JD recognized that you deserved this opportunity. A very classy gesture by everyone involved.
Congrats to everyone who qualified for the Jack and Good Luck to those teams heading to Utah this week.
