I love the awkwardness of this situation.
I recently went to McClure's in New Orleans with a bunch of people from my cousin's wedding party, and, as I saw Neil manning the register, I realized that I was going to have to out myself in front of everyone as an Internet messageboard nerd named "Buckfast 1." It was worth it to finally connect with Tipsy!
So true. Probably a dozen times yesterday someone asked, "so, what's your connection to the team?"

thanks again for all the help setting up the booth and around the booth.
Holy hell my feet hurt. Tonight was an amazing amazing party. Just impossibly good vibes all around. At one point a buddy (on the team) turned to me and said "have you noticed how happy everyone is?" Looked around and it kinda hit me.. Hundreds of people dancing, drinking, talking but every last damn person had a huge #### eating grin. Almost zero problems all night. Got cornered repeatedly and showered with thanks so profusely it made me uncomfortable at times.
Grabbed the mic and with one track left thanked the crowd below for coming out to celebrate with a "first year" team... Whole place roared. It was kinda surreal.
Shut the door due to capactity and we had people crawling under the scaffold to sneak in at one point....
Jason / JTG came by again and he brought in some very attractive girls... Attaboy!
The Bonomo (sbonomo) Brothers were all over the place helping run entries, bartending, etc..fantastic guys too.
Joe Bryant was a great surprise. Hung out and helped us in the kitchen and went with to the stage for awards. Was great to see ya GB!
I need sleep. Comp day tomm
nice to see some food pics on the twitters too
biggest deck.
Doesn't look like they made the top four in any of the ancillary categories, but today's the big day for shoulder/ribs/whole hog. Gogogogogogogogo McClure's!
The booth looks great and a fantastic place for a party, but best booth winners are creative and can be pretty genius--think much more artistic and stuff. There was one the first year I went that was made, inside and out, to look like a Moroccan riad. I'll try to scrounge up some pictures. The type of booth they've done would never win in the booth contest just for being big.
I'm wondering if the attention they have been getting for their booth might be hurting them in here eyes of the judges.
So you're telling me size doesn't matter??The booth looks great and a fantastic place for a party, but best booth winners are creative and can be pretty genius--think much more artistic and stuff.

We tore down all the graphics, decorative lights, ferns, decorations but left bar in and light/sound and had a "kill the bar party". Motioned in random gals and cool folks and fed them (we had 20-30 slabs ribs, 50 thighs, 4 butts, etc).. Then fed the whole sheriffs department.
So rules. Is that ICON?
Team Pic (ish)Yeah, we need a name list on the team pic.Fantastic pics.
We actually have quite a few of the McClure's 2014 BBQFest T Shirts remaining. Will likely put em up for sale and post up the link here if there is interest. $25 gets you a comfy shirt and koozie.
Aren't you a TV reporter? That must complicate things...Brady Marino said:No pics of me and that's how it'll remain. I'm camera shy.
