Thanks Dave! Just a couple of corrections though- it is John Hard. We also didn't split the ad- we each bought a half-page ad & they just put us on the same page. Not quite running with the big dogs yet ;-) My ad was paid mostly by subscription credits from people subscribing to the mag from my site. I'll take this opportunity to give a brief report of the Madison hotluck as well. Fantastic, as always. Brief enough? Noh- more needs to be said. I couldn't make it down on Friday but by all accounts it was a good time. There should be some recipes posted shortly from it. Met a lot of new & interesting chileheads. There's an oxymoron for you! Rockin' Randy came up from Atlanta & thought he had the award for 'furthest away' until he was introduced to Henning from Denmark :-) Alex & Linda made it over from Ohio & Brandon made it up from Kentucky & Rob & Tom made it down from Columbus, IN. The list is still scoring a 100% in that I have yet to meet anyone from this list who isn't one of the nicest people I've ever met! Brought Rockin' & Henning back up to Indianapolis for a night for a cultural education. 'Course I don't know who got more of the education as part of the night consisted of a couple of shots of Danish potato vodka and taking pictures in a graveyard :-) Looking forward to the nex big event: Open fields on September 23rd & 24th. A few evil corporate types have agreed to help me put together gift bags for all who show up as well (thanks CaJohn!). Thanks again to everyone for everything! -Jim C MWPH sigh.... now starts the busy season.
