    We plan on being there.  We'll bring Jazz the bengal.  And a first aid kit.
    Saving room, just in case.

    I’d better start making some chocolate pots...
    Yeah, those things were THE BEST ever. That 4 oz jar was just enough to piss me off.
    They were awesome.

    My Beautiful Wife and I will certainly be there.
    I hope that will not negatively impact the attendance......too much...

    Anyway...

    If it is not too much of a bother, we would like to host the back stage event, Saturday evening for those who choose to remain, just as we did last year. It was fun and we enjoyed it immensely. Hope y'all did too! 

    We will do beef tenderloin sliders, and Boubon Slushies, as well as family friendly libations.
    ( @Jeremiah that might also include them Moss Squeezings you are so fond of )

    We are so looking forward to this event, and seeing all our family of friends.

    Great times for sure, and really great cooks, best I have ever been around, and I learn so much while there.

    Hope you all can make it.

    Oh yeah, all you BGE newbies.....your BGE warranty is no longer valid unless you attend....just kidding.......or am I?
    Seriously though, it is worth the trip, and you will come back.
    We reserved the same spot next to you.
    Now, It' a party.

    Now comes the fun part.  Figuring out what to cook.  I'll ponder about this until April 19th or so, then figure it out.  Ugh.

    If your SWMBO hesitates to go/let you go, simply say, "Honey I met some guys on the internet and we're gonna meet up in the woods of North Carolina for a thing called Butt Blast.  Only gone a couple of days..."   
    Works every time. 
    I heard that worked only 60% of the time.

    We are planning on attending, after @piney 's lovely better half sold me on it at BC4. Actually, @JRWhitee 's better half did too. Was easy to convince SWMBO, but she hasn't heard about the petting zoo yet...

    Thanks for posting the info @tarheelmatt. What's the closest airport?

    Glad you've decided to come brother!  Can't reference airports in the unfamiliar communist state of NC.

    Charlotte or Greensboro. It’s about the same distance.

    I think ether Ashville or Charlotte for domestic commercial carriers? Maybe John or Matt can give you better insight.

    Charlotte is your best bet. Greensboro would be next closest. Realigh would be a distant 3rd.

    My wife and I plan to make it. If @Thatgrimguy can’t make it with the Grocery Cart, we will bring Ol’ Mortimer down for the weekend. Would love to do a whole hog and try out the pig winch.

    Mike, plan on that regardless!  It's a great time and your cooker would be a highlight.  And...maybe we share a bourbon  ;). Hope you can make it, we have room.
