Sounds game to me!  Too bad they didn't make it to the Bowers fest, that would 
have been an eye opener to the uninitiated.

One thing that I think ought to be emphasized is the role that the internet in 
general and the Chileheads list in particular in introducing all these folks to 
each other.  I've seen a Hotluck covered by local TV news and a BBQ mailing 
list annual event covered by a local PBS station, and in both cases any mention 
of the mailing lists or internet ended up on the cutting room floor.   It was 
left with the feeling that it was just a regular old gathering of folks who 
liked hot food.  No mention of the comeraderie or reasons that folks who might 
otherwise be strangers were driving hundreds of miles to assault their 
tastebuds!

Lets remember, without the Chileheads list it is unlikely that any of us would 
have ever met, much less attend each others Hotlucks.  I understand this same 
crew will be doing a segment on Jim Campbell also.  I'd like to express the 
same comments to him regarding the Chileheads list, not to mention stories of 
the "Bread" being sent to Hotlucks across the country in recent years!

Chile Cheers!
