<\/a>I’m inviting this person to join our trivia team. My T-shirt, by the way, reads “I LOVE ROMANIAN GIRLS.”<\/p>\nI think I’ve finally figured out where I can best contribute to the team in future years. I definitely should not be allowed anywhere near the cooker. I’m too lazy to help build the booth. My disdain for corporate America makes me a poor choice to set up hospitality for the sponsor (although, I will say once again that our sponsor Terex<\/a> has been awesome to work with). My role, as I see it in future years, will be advising the team on how to attract the right kind of booth visitors (i.e. hot girls). I see a lot of elements – booth design, booth location, lighting, music, distribution of booth invitations – that contribute toward this goal. Once the festival is over I’ll type up my observations on this subject in a post. Maybe it’ll help other teams too.<\/p>\n I just realized I did something DUMB last night though… Friday was payday and I stuck my paycheck (for the past two weeks’ work) in my wallet, forgot about it, and walked all over BBQ Fest with it on me.<\/p>\n High point of the evening last night: Hanging out on the rooftop deck with my friends Shane, Leigh, Todd, Ed, and Vivian. Great night.<\/p>\n I’m still exhausted but I feel a lot better than the past two mornings, probably because I got to sleep until a reasonable hour for a change, without the demands of the rat race interrupting my BBQ and sleep schedules. I’ll probably stop by the Saucer to drink a beer and say hello to my waitresses around noon, then head down to the festival after that. It’s gonna be a beautiful day, so come on down!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just checked the camera and found that Thursday-Friday I took an additional 126 photos, as well as 2 videos of the booth. I’ll add those to the photo album to be created Sunday or sometime thereafter. A few preview pics: I’m inviting this person to join our trivia team.
