Switching to “vacation mode” tomorrow at 5 (this means more posts, not less)

Starting 5 PM Friday, this blog and my @paulryburn Twitter account will switch over to “vacation mode.”

What does that mean? No posts or tweets for nine days?

NO! It means just the opposite! There will be more posts and tweets than ever, as I cover BBQ Fest all of next week. It does mean, however, that you can’t count on me posting on a schedule. There will likely be several posts a day, at whatever random hours I get around to doing them. From Thursday-Sunday of next week I’ll post BBQ Fest photo albums. I have a new camera and three batteries, so there shouldn’t be any shortage of pics.

I’ll be posting the regular Downtown news too. It won’t be all BBQ Fest by any means.

I considered taking the netbook to BBQ Fest and posting live, but with the move to the fairgrounds that is absolutely not going to happen. However, I will be tweeting live from my @paulryburn Twitter account. BBQ Fest week tends to be my most active week of the year on Twitter, with about half useful info and half photos and drunk tweets. I’m bringing my iPhone charger to BBQ Fest, because I will almost certainly run my battery down.

I’ll be on Facebook too, although to a lesser extent than Twitter.

You can also follow my BBQ team, the @quesbrothers, on Twitter. I’m one of several people who has access to post on that account.

Right now, it’s time for a little Cinco de Mayo action, but the real party starts tomorrow!
