Jay, we might just take you up on the WSM loaner offer!  In fact, if we are able to compete, we'll definitely take you up on it!  That's really a generous offer and very much appreciated.

Hey VQ,

I'm coming out from Cal. to do this event. I'm going to go ahead and sign up for all four meats. If you decide at the last minute you want to do it, you can come and cook with me. I'll have both WSM's with me. You can bring your WSM and pick a meat or two to do, and we can split the cost accordingly. I need practice on everything, and I certainly don't have a specialty yet, so I'm not particular about what I turn in. Plus, I may be cooking by myself.


If we compete then we're likely going to do all four meats ourselves.  We really need the opportunity to do it all as this may be one of the only four meat comps that we can do in advance of Taylor & Lake Pleasant.  I don't want you to think your offer is unappreciated and I'd be willing to bet that there are some other people here that would team up with you right away.  I know there are some folks who don't have any teammates yet and would jump at the chance to share the cooking responsibilities with someone.

I hope this comes across as honest and sincere and not as just brushing off your offer.  I've rewritten it a couple of times and just want to make sure I don't hurt your feelings.

Hey VQ,

No worries. I didn't take it that way at all. And besides, it takes a lot more than that to hurt my feelings. I just figured I'd give you another option.......

Hopefully, you'll make it out and we can show them what the WSM's can do.

Jay, You should definitely come out.......

The more I think about this event, the more I want to do it.

This barbeque addiction is worse than heroin!

 I haven't got an award myself yet...well no ribbons, plaques, or trophies. Just getting out there and doing your best is good enough. Being able to spend the time with the other teams...the people at these events, is the best reward.

I also do not know at this time if I can make it.I REALLY do hope the turn out is better than the Hoof and Foot,it would be better for the association that way, and it would be more fun to have more teams and more people.I am going to look at my schedule this weekend and see what I can do about getting in on this event,but may not be able to do it though.

You were the inspiration behind this event amigo. Without your input at the Hoof & Foot I wouldnt have bothered with it. I am going to be bummed if you dont make it.

P.S. I have a fuynny feeling that turnout is going to be much better than the Hoof & Foot. Especially since I already have that many teams signed up.  :o

Aaron,

That's awesome, I really hope it turns out to be a huge success.  I am trying to work it out that I can compete, and if not compete, at least judge.  I am due to compete the following weekend at the Stagecoach in Indio and I don't know if I can get away from the job for 2 weekends in a row, but if I can, I will certainly be there.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Mike

I don 't think I can do 2 weekends in a row either.My wife can't take the time off 2 weekends in a row and it would be hectic for me as well.I wish there was an extra weeknd in between Stagecoach and the Queen Creek event,then I could do it.

Aaron

OK, I have at least four teams who have said that the weekend of April 27th is not going to work for them. There is a contest in Cali on the next weekend so that puts contests back to back. Would it work better for everyone if we moved the contest date to April 20th and 21st?? I am not saying that I will change it for sure, but if anyone objects E Mail me and let me know, especially if you have already registered. Its hard making this work for everyone, but I will do my best.

Thom, sorry I didnt call you back last week. We were running late so we didnt have time to stop off in Indio.

Aaron,  I can't speak for anyone else, but NASCAR is that previous weekend.  I know I will be out there cooking, so I will not be available to do both.

Aaron, I think it is really great that you're willing to move the date of the competition so that as many people as possible can not only attend but also compete.  When we realized that the Saddle Sore and Stagecoach events were back to back it put tremendous pressure on us too.  I don't have any conflicts with the proposed April 20 & 21 dates although others including, Thom & Mike, are already committed to the NASCAR event.  Another idea would be to push the date back to May 18 & 19 but that means the weather will be warmer and I'm sure that was something you were trying to avoid when picking a date in the first place.  The lousy thing is that its impossible to pick a date that will work for everyone. 

Please let us all know if you do decide to change the date and thanks for effort.
