Franklin barbecue here I come!!!

I'd hardly consider that "waiting in line".  Looks well worth the wait.

Awesome eats.    Thanks for posting up you experiences.  A visit to Franklin BBQ is on my "must-do" list.

I would love to see @NPHuskerFL show up and fire up the MM to make some appetizers while he waited.

Please let me know before you do - I'll road trip down there from NC and hang out with you. Can't imagine a better way to spend a morning !!

Brother that would be awesome. I would really enjoy that. We are going to make that happen.

Well, I wouldn't miss that for anything. Count me in.

@Ozzie_Isaac funny man.

Last time I went....I told cen-tex I was first in line and to show up at 11am to have lunch with me.  He said to F off and that I needed at least 5,000 posts to hang out with him outside of the forum.

Great idea - didnt even think of this
Maybe next time. Prob way too early in the morning to even think of bringing my mini. Had to leave Houston at 5:30am to get there by 8am.

We really need to figure out when the 3 of us can all make the trip and really make this happen. I think it would be awesome.

Sounds like you need to close down the bars Friday night and head directly over to Franklins with a lawn chair for the rally power nap.

I know you guys don't know me although I have spoken on the phone to SGH once but if y'all wouldn't mind one more I would fly in just to do this same thing! I think it would be awesome. I would even get there at 4 in the morning just to be first in line then y'all could join me.

@Legume I'd do it for the company. The food is a bonus. I've done stupider **** in my day.

Last time I went i stayed  out until 2:30 and was in line at 7:30. Ate 4lbs of brisket and road tripped 4 hrs to Dallas. It was brutal. It's normalty 3 hrs but the hangover gods intervened and made traffic horrible. Thank god I wasn't driving. #meatcoma

yeah! Just hashragged your asses!

boom.  

Legume

I will happily take the day to parking lot drink with you all.

Sounds like we have a crew. Pick a date and lets get weird with it. Salado weekend would be perfect but that's a year away. And it's during SXSW so the hipster factor is 10x 

bbqlearner

Depending on timing (sometimes work weekends) and whether i'm allowed to join by y'all, I dont mind going too although I'll let you guys do the early rounds and I'll come in later on

Brother you are more than welcome to join in. If enough of us get together, we can hold CenTex down and beat his brisket secret out of him

How about Friday May 1st?

Short story about the longest I've held a place in line: 3 days!  
Iowa State University, 1979 or so, The Who were coming!  We sent 3 dorm-floor guys out to stand in line (each person could buy ten tickets) and once we had the commitments, we rotated those three guys out every few hours and kept our place.  
That three-day line became one of the best parties I've ever been to!  Being a 4-year ROTC scholarship recipient, I couldn't smoke the oregano (perhaps it was basil) being passed around, but just breathing made me glad there wasn't a piss test anytime the next week.  Had so much fun!
We ended up getting seats in Rows 3 and 4, center stage (being 6'5" and rockin' the high heels, I got a seat in Row 4).  Only concert I was on my feet (or my chair) the entire show, and I'm not all that big a Who fan.  Fantastic!  
 
But, now I'm wanting brisket.  You better, you better, you bet!

That will be a popping weekend for some of y'all.  Franklin, Avengers and Pac vs Mayweather.

The Cen-Tex Smoker

If we get this going- For those coming in from out of town (and the locals) , we can hang, cook, drink, swim at Casa centex either Friday or Saturday. I have 2 LBGE, my neighbor has one and @lakewade has a LGBE and a KJJR. 

My my thought would be to hang and cook out Friday night and descend on Franklin Saturday. I'm good with whatever though. I live 30 min from
franklin/downtown austin.

Obviously, all wives, kids, buddies, inlaws, parole officers are welcome.
