    Brent's better side and Slushy King in the background! :) 
    Slushy King: mmmm, not so much.

    ICYMI - The true slushie royalty is My Beautiful Wife. She got the recipe at church. Made them, for us to take to a derby party, and after seeing how well they were greedily accepted, I asked her to make them for the original Butt Blast.
    It all worked out. We will be making aporoximately 10 gallons for the upcoming event.

    We will be bringing cups of various forms for the pouring. Many of them we were given when in New Orleans at the Mardi Gras.

    We hope to arrive late Thursday evening.

    You all, as always, are the best.

    If I were to say, bring a new griddle to this event, would it be possible to have someone season it for me?

    So Henrik is driving down with me.  I told him to bring a guitar (he loves to play) and a couple Marshall stacks.  Game on.  Henrik is one of my best friends, looks like he fights in the WWE, and is a Dane.  He will fit right in.  He loves to discuss American Politics, and I encourage all to interact with him at this level.

    Henrik is a great guy.  I’m looking forward to hanging out with him some more.  And eating the crawfish you’ll be hauling...

    Well, fvck. Weller's 12yo is a no chance ever in hell.

    There are two limited releases per year, and the fall release is next.......

    I am on the list for fall, just behind the other 7,439 people. Most stores will get only one bottle, and often they use that one or maybe two bottles for a charity raffle or some bull shid like that.

    I have a list of the stores, I am calling every one of them to get my name on their lists.

    Best I can do. Apologies.
