Busy day… I’ve been at the Silly Goose for the last hour and a half adding pics to the Ques Brothers’ 2009 photo album. I didn’t make it to the build yesterday, so I blasted out an e-mail asking for pics… boy, talk about being careful what you wish for. Team members sent me almost 200. I picked the 25 or so that seemed most representative of the build and added those.
Now I’m at the Saucer drinking a Dos Equis Lager… sitting near the pool table because Bicycle Bobby is out here, and I don’t want to sit at the bar with Old Lazy Ass back there. Chad is on his way up here to bring me my team wristband, which I will proudly wear through the rest of the week. Here’s a quick look at today’s news:
Greg Klyma will play Memphis Mary’s Thursdays at 345 Madison (the old Stop 345) this week. $5 cover, two sets starting at 7 PM, kitchen open 6:30 to 9:30.

Battery is close to dead, so it’s time to hit Publish. I’m working through Wednesday and have Thursday and Friday off for BBQ Fest. Posts may be on a slower schedule through Wednesday evening. I will be doing daily BBQ updates (and possibly multiple per day updates) through BBQ Fest come hell or high water.
