I was able to attend Memphis in May for the first time. My wife was working in Memphis last week and I was able to go meet
up with her. Had a blast. A group she works with had a team entered. I was just a spectator.
The Weber display was impressive. I am biased, but as far as vendors go, Weber display was head and solders above. Weber had a very nice portable show room that was like being inside a store and had the cooking school set up with classes throughout the event.
I wore a WKC shirt. Which brought many questions and interest. Tuffy Stone even found a picture on his phone of his Kettle Collection.
I was happy to meet some of the celebrities at the event.
With my lovely wife and Big Moe

Great pics Dave! I know you were so excited!
Man my sister lives in Memphis and called me Saturday night from the riverfront wanting me to pack up the kids and drive down. I so wanted to.
Here's a thought for everyone. What about a meetup, next year, for Memphis in May? What would everyone think of that?
It's actually a small city, but there is a lot to see, places to eat and a places to stay.
Wow looks like a great time. Always wanted to go to a big time BBQ Comp with the big guns.
Looks like a lot of fun. I met Myron back in '02. We were almost competing against each other. He was doing MBN and I was in their Backyard Grillers division. (Hub was there, we were on the same team then.) He was a nice guy back then. He was the CG and gave his ticket to Memphis to a team from Salisbury, NC. 'Course, he already had a ticket from a previous win ! ! !

looks like fun. I'm envious of the people you got to meet.
