Hi Chr's Hot Licks was a blast! It was great to finally meet some of you in person. I'd like to thank Janis for all the great advice. It is nice to have people in the industry to help get you started. I will definately be there next year, hopefully as a vendor. Thanks for the awesome weekend!!

Well, the HotLicks Festival was this last weekend and I got to meet a few more our mailing list people! And, in really cool news, a lurker on our list (HI!) won 2 awards in the amateur contest. Of course I think that is the coolest because, as I've said before, it's how our little company got its start. I also wanted to mention the other manufacturers that were at the event (well the one's I spoke with). Each of these companies have incredible sauces AND they are really nice people: Siouxsie Wow, Ring of Fire, Austin Spice Co and Gecko Gary's. I am a bona-fide, card-carrying chile-head and all of these products get are yummy. Like I said, making a great sauce is GREAT, but being nice people speaks in volumes to me too! Wish I could be there for the Food Network's/Hot Luck! Maybe I could send a sample of our sauces? Be well, Janis M.
