Thom,  Sounds awesome, I really want to be there, and I will see what we can arrange.  We have a Cardinals game on the 8th that we are committed to be cooking at, so depending upon what time we leave on Sunday, it might be a possibility.

I'm anxious to get the tune up before Lake Pleasant.... 

ABT's, I love that category... Can I be a judge in that one alone??   

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Hey, if we do go to this, who would be willing to be on the AZBarbeque team?  Ryan, will you be able to make this event?  Bear???

[devil daddy]

depends... if we have everything for the Lake Pleasant event taken care of then yes I will be there!

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

[Thom Emery]

 I will have an answer for you about being on the team early september. Unfortunately, life has no resemblenece of normalcy. Just getting routine with work and life in the new house once it's finally put together is like step #2396. I am on step #5  .
 I will keep ya in the know of how things are progressing of course.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Honestly, it will probably be Sept before I can commit to it also as we have to see where we are with the Lake Pleasant event.

Thom, we are certainly interested and will do our best to get out there and just enjoy the experience with all of you.

[Thom Emery]

I would hope that some teams that want to compete for the DeWalt
and Lake Pleasant prizes will be able to make it.I am try to get to 12 teams
so  Playing it safe room for 32

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Thom, do you have the registrations available yet?

[Griln4u]

Yepers... Thom, thats an excellent idea   A tune up for the LPBCO.. seeing as I have never competed before this would be a great chance to get all the bigginers mistakes out of the way prior to coming to the Lake and kicking butt.. and we aint talking Pork Butt!
Sounds like it could be a nice father son weekend... I'll have ton's of questions before then... too bad you are not going to make it up to Bears this weekend..  I was looking at getting to know a few more of you a bit more in depth

Chow fer now!

[Thom Emery]

Putting the registation together

"learning the Ropes" of competition  and maybe winning  something

Wouldnt that be a kick
