    Oh brother it's just not that easy! I have a large group of very smart peeps checking the alignment of the stars, Fake News, Best Lump currently being used, Best Rub for your Butt/Meat! and after all the data has been calculated I'm still not sure if there will be enough wind to flap the flag as requested. The data is for sure certain that those who attended Butt Blast 2018 will have a wonderful time even if they don't see the aforementioned flag flapping in the possible wind. Disclaimer the boys from KY might have a different spin on the Flag Flapping only because they seem to like tents upside down! Guess they like collecting rain! Sis Boom Bah!!!!!!!!!

See ya soon.

    I feel responsible so it's time for another SRF buy.  I will make sure to credit their support of BB for the purchase.  Congrats @JohnInCarolina for making this happen.

    Wow I go to all the trouble to post the weather for Butt Blast and get slammed for not giving wind report! Then John post a picture of SNRF 1/2 a cow donation! I have been upstaged for sure. Just heard back from my weather peeps and winds speed Saturday should be around 5 mph or less partly cloudy, high temp tops out at 71 and low is 53.

    Fear not on the volume and the velocity of wind to make the BBIII Flag fly.
    With the roster we have coming, I, as well as others, will make Salisbury look like the Wrigley Field home run derbys when the wind is blowing out, due to all the hot air flying from us. Think about it. Epic.
    The wind will be blowing my friend, and plenty of it, all weekend.

    Heading to the Frazier Museum tonight to start off the Derby Party Season.

    They are hosting the Kentucky Bourbon party tonight, and it is one of the most difficult tickets to score. 

    A buddy called me up and said he had an extra ticket, because his wife is working late, and asked me if I wanted to go.

    Duh.

    I am only going to see if I can find the right bourbon for the slushies at BBIII. 

    So I am sacrificing my evening for my brothers and sisters of the Butt Blast III. I hope you have an appreciation for all my efforts.

    I will advise on how it works out.

    Throwing myself at this, to shield all y'all, from substandard bourbon. It must be done.

    I totally misread that, I thought you said you let one go right after mentioning her pulling your cheeks apart.  I then thought you might be bringing yourself to the Blast

    As Buffalo Trace is the sponsor of this years Derby, it would be fitting if you’re able to score a bottle or two of Weller 12. I am willing to Paya reasonable premium for a bottle if you, or anyone else, is able to bring one to me at B.B.  Can’t get it in my neck of the woods.

    @CTMike - Weller is scare in these parts as well.  My "go to store" gets its weekly stock from BT on Fridays.  I was there at opening last Friday and 0 for 3.  No Blanton's, Eagle Rare or Weller's.  First time I have been shut out.  
    I would go again tomorrow (4/13) but schedule precludes.  Good luck in your quest.
