My team will be there. We are Smoke N Suds and we will be in space 611. Y'all come down to see us. For those that don't know, this is the 21st year for the American Royal BBQ, it is the largest competition in the world. Last year there were about 375 teams and around 60,000 people. This is the second year for Smoke N Suds and my sixth year. Needless to say it can be trying getting in and out of there. If you plan on going e-mail me off list and I will get you some parking directions. On the garden front, picked about 50 tobascos today, 2 Caribbean reds, several ripe jalapenos, and a dozen or so Thai dragons. Doug hold that gate closed! See ya at the Royal. Mike
