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!
