On the shuttle, we made new friends from Holland who had stayed in town an extra day for BBQ Fest. They didn’t know any teams, so we pulled out Ques Brothers wristbands and invited them by. Our cooks gave them a tour of the BBQ equipment.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Embarrassing moment: I was up on the second floor of our booth doing PervertCam, and I zoomed in on a green tube top far in the distance. After I took the pic I realized I had just used PervertCam on one of my BBQ teammates.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

After Suzy got her own pic taken, she went next door to The Hogfather and recruited more tube tops for pics.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Brooke, Suzy and Bloom. Brooke better hold on tight to that PBR koozie. I WILL steal it if given the chance.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

The shuttle the Ques Brothers hired to take us home. It was supposed to leave at 15 after the hour, but instead it sat there and sat there and sat there and sat there and sat there and finally left at 12:35.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n
