my BBQ team is looking to trade 4 wristbands\u00a0that provide\u00a0access to our team booth for 2-3 kegs of beer.\u00a0 I&#8217;m thinking 3 kegs if it&#8217;s low-end stuff like PBR, Natty, or Schlitz, otherwise 2.\u00a0 The guest wristbands give you full access to the booth on the days BBQ Fest is open to the public (Thursday, Friday, Saturday of next week), where there will be all-you-can-eat BBQ and all-you-can-drink beer, wine, and liquor.\u00a0 Not a bad deal!\u00a0 Really, you&#8217;ll have almost the same access team members will have (the only difference is you won&#8217;t get a team shirt or\u00a0access to the booth on Wednesday night, and you&#8217;ll have to pay the admission fee to Tom Lee Park) without paying $800 for 4 team memberships.\u00a0 Also, you won&#8217;t have to do any of the work associated with being a team member (cooking, building and tearing down the booth, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also open to considering other small sponsorships, trading guest wristbands for in-kind donations &#8211; letting us borrow tables, chairs, etc., or donating beer, food, carpeting, lighting, or various other things we can use to make the booth more appealing.\u00a0 We&#8217;re open to cash donations too.\u00a0 If you want to put up signage or leave information\/flyers about your business we can talk about that.<\/p>\n<p>Booth access would also give you the chance to network with our team and its guests.\u00a0 Our team is very much &#8220;the Downtown team,&#8221; and just about all the members live and\/or work and party in Downtown Memphis, and spend a lot of disposable income doing so.\u00a0 The team also tends to get good media coverage &#8211; we have a Commercial Appeal writer on the team who blogged extensively about our booth last year and gave our sponsor lots of exposure, and then of course there&#8217;s my blog which has been drawing in excess of 1000 hits per day recently.\u00a0 Our team also has connections to the Memphis Flyer, FedEx, AutoZone, the Memphis Grizzlies, Memphis Magazine, the Memphis Business\u00a0Journal,\u00a0CH Robinson,\u00a0UT-Memphis, the University of Memphis, and other prominent companies in town.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in doing something with us, shoot me an e-mail at <a href=\"mailto:paul@paulryburn.com\">paul@paulryburn.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t delay &#8211;
