Just realized nobody has mentioned this. Austin (TX) is having a double weeked of hot sauce events this year. This weekend, 19th & 20th, is the 4th Texas Fiery Foods Show. (http://www.texasfieryfoods.com/) The week after is the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Contest (free sampling of the entries, bands, etc.). Anybody (out-of-towners especially) planning on being at either? David Cook
