Just back from the Fiery Foods Show.
As usual, it was a blast! Got to catch up with several people on the
list and even met a few lurkers. Each and every one were super nice
folks! I hesitate to name names, aside from it providing a witness
list, I don't want to leave anyone out. It gets a little foggy after
three days of show, book-ended by a 22 hour drive.
Highlights of the show... Hmmm..... The incredible number of people who
don't care to believe you when you say 'it's REALLY hot', my wife
sending 4 women up to my room at once to try and talk me into going to a
strip joint (they failed), Gecko Gary getting carted out on a stretcher
for dehydration and high blood pressure (he's fine), Chip Hearn going
down from being big and clumsy (he's fine also), the two guys passed out
in my booth from ignoring said warning and dipping the bread into the
unBEARable, and the usual assortment of rude & crude vendors doing
variations on the 'biker babes selling hot sauce' theme with the guy who
hired the porn stars to 'man' the booth winning that one. Just your
usual show.... ;-) Even managed to do the evil corporate thing and sell
a few bottles of hot sauce :-)
CaJohn is still having fun from the show since his truck blew up in
Sante Fe and he's stranded till it's fixed.
Now, to dig out from all the backed up e-mail and orders :-)

When the Chip is down: there's room for very little else... you need to
watch where you step... :-)
