raining its buttoff down here... there is a BBQ festival/competition in a local park that I wanted to go to... soooo... I went

mud, water 3" deep, lightning, thunder, and LOTS of awesome BBQ to bring home... dry rub, Carolina, Texan, Memphis styles....
got about 9 different vendors "samples" ( anywhere from 5-10$ a sample) pulled pork, chicken, pork ribs, brisket....

there were about 7 other people out there who I suppose are as hard core fanatics of BBQ as I am..
and literally... Been there Got the "T-Shirt"...
too bad it got rained out, it would have been packed for sure. Even the band was playing
would have stayed longer but the rain got cold...
