ButtBlast 2018

Not sure what I’m more excited about @YukonRon bourbon slushy or @JohnInCarolina chocolate pots. I’m going to bring a book and take notes. @bgebrent is a legend so I might have to get his autograph.

If @bgebrent is a legend, then @nolaegghead must at least be a minor deity.

@nolaegghead. It might be good to bring your legal team.   Remember, it's a family friendly event.   

Jeremiah

@Jupiter Jim and KayNoCook will be there too!!

@nolaegghead @JohnInCarolina I have never meet a liberal in person so im kinda excited. Not sure what to expect but I’m sure i will have butterflies. 

Truth be told, politics doesn’t come up much at all at these events. So except for all the perfume Nola wears, we’re indistinguishable from conservatives.

@g8golfer
The Bourbon Slushies is the elixir My Beautiful Wife prepares, with just a slight assist from me, from a recipe she obtained in church. I can take no credit for that, other than "pack mule."

The major leaguers will be there and very willing to give you tips and insights regarding all things BGE. I personally believe this group is as good as any of the chefs anywhere at any BGE event. They all Rock it out.

I can't begin to tell you the feeling of awe I get when I am around these folks.
Just be careful on the autograph, I did that my first year, too. I had too many bourbon slushies, and had @bgebrentautograph my forehead. He could not find his sharpie, and had to interrupt Nicole from cooking, cleaning, prepping as well as doing all the work around the BGE and Blackstone to find it for him. Then he ended up writing his boat registration number on head. So be careful.

Definitely go for the chocolate pots. @JohnInCarolina became a celebrity and had actually been contacted by Mike Rowe from the show "Dirtiest Jobs" in an effort to do a feature about cleaning JIC's Mini Max, (at least I thought it was a MM, it was hard to tell)
Mike Rowe was thinking Emmy for sure on that one.

The chocolate pots were killer, and several have already suggested if he did not want any personal physical harm done to him, he needs to not only double the size of those bad boys, as well as fill twice as many large Ball Jars than he did the last time. Only one 4 oz jar per person, was just enough to make me mad, I wanted more.

Be sure to try everything, it is all so delicious, and unbelievable.

 I will also say @CTMike was right, @nolaegghead is OZ. If you need help on anything, OZ is the guy and can make it happen. 

All the cooks and helpers are red carpet worthy. You will learn much. Make sure your smart phone has space for images and movies, and notes.

It was aptly named, it is a blast in the truest of forms, and I can't thank enough those that put this event together.

Looking forward to meeting you, at one of the best celebrations of food, family and friends, you will ever attend.

Brent is a legend in his own mind

@YukonRon looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the crew. @JohnInCarolina I hate talking politics I just love to pick at you though. It’s going to be a fun event. Might try and get to the campground a day early so I can socialize and hang out.

This is an excellent idea.  Trust me.  At minimum being around for the festivities on Friday night is a must if you can swing it.

We'll be counting on you man!  I'm already looking forward to those!

g8golfer

@northGAcock yes you might want to double down on those. I’m a huge bloody fan.

Surprisingly politics doesn’t come up at Butt Blast. When there’s hundreds of pounds of food being egged under the trees in rural North Carolina, nobody seems to care about what’s going on in Washington. 

Also, there are a lot of great golf courses in NC, bring your sticks.

g8golfer

@DoubleEgger I never leave home without my sticks. I’d leave my wife at home before I’d leave my clubs.

Great news! We will be back again after missing last year!

Thinking I need to be buying some cases of bourbon over the next few months, thinking we will have close to a hundred or so for the event, as it stands now......

looking forward to this.

Maybe a GoBourbonMe drive is warranted

I do appreciate JIC keeping a running tab on the participants attending the blast. I am thinking about getting another cooler to hold the slushies, and a larger freezer (again) to make these up. BGE strikes the wallet again, this time with vengeance.

Yes, I understand "Family Friendly"... with a name like "Butt Blasters" one would expect a little latitude with the humor.  My post were primarily for the Brothers of the Phin since most will have a similar sense of humor.  Rest easy...I'm not going to roll up with a vice and a grease gun so all is safe.

Are you going to try to make it?  That would be great!

Would love to, but expense for 3 to travel & little one in school makes it difficult.   It’s on my list so hope to have a beer or a bourbon or both with you soon.

Make sure to keep cameras ready...especially around the petting zoo.

I have 5 or 6 bottles of brown water I will bring, along with Ol' Mortimer. 

On on another note, if one of you farkers lives near Woodford and wants to pick me up a bottle of Double Double Oaked I would be eternally grateful and reimburse the cost.
