Xray the Enforcer Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 And if he falls asleep we'll even forgo the tattoos. Yeah, we gotta have a "You need to be taller than this line" display before the BwB can start gankin' n00bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 While it would be fun to bring Kate and Bump to a con, that requires bringing Mom as well (as the current Calhoun food source.) Laura just has no interest in attending a con. Xray, Just thinking on my feet. I'd love to go to a local place, however, I really want to bring a whole mess of "Lexington Barbeque." Unfortunately, that's a two hour drive from Raleigh (but we could all shack up with my aunt who lives 5 minutes from "Lexington Barbeque"). http://www.ibiblio.org/ch-scene/bbq/lexington.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Mandy, Well, there is also a con, where GRRM is appearing an easy drive from my house. I have a hard time justifying the expense of driving or flying to NY when I can meet GRRM one state away. Besides, I really want to introduce the board Yankees to real Barbecue.

Regina Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 and I'm pretty sure plenty of drinking will occur (which is the main thing I like to do at cons, besides meet cool authors.) Drinking? At a con? Surely you jest! (Has anyone else heard that SaraTOGA Springs is known for it's spas? I totally need to save a few extra dollars, and book some sort of detox treatment for the day after the con. *wise nod*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think my wife is the only female on the planet who hates "day spas." When her best friend got married she took the entire wedding party to a spa. Laura was tapping her feet the entire time because should couldn't stand just sitting there "relaxing." She had things to do (damnit!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Brilliant idea!! Oh God, we should all do that. They'd have to shut the place down for the toxic chemicals pouring out of us. It'd be a blast to go as a big group. Even if the toxins from us would turn the place into the next Love Canal... (ETA: Love Canal=toxic waste dump near Niagra Falls, btw) Ser Scott--that's a shame she can't relax and enjoy spas. To each their own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Besides, I really want to introduce the board Yankees to real Barbecue. But, Scot, there's no Con in St. Louis this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxom 1974 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Jaxom, St. Louis does not qualify as "the South." Sorry. Well, you did say real barbeque and it is south of Chicago...Guess I just assumed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stego Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Memphis Barbecue is the best in the world. Carolina is mediocre at best. (I lived there for half a decade, Scot, I'm no tourist.) Carolina has great fried chicken, though. And the best biscuits. And beautiful women. And big cockroaches. And hurricanes. And humidity. And beautiful women.

Xray the Enforcer Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Memphis Barbecue is the best in the world. Gods, I love Memphis barbecue. But I gotta say that I do love me some pulled pork. Fuck, bad BBQ is kinda like bad pizza -- still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Besides, I really want to introduce the board Yankees to real Barbecue. Oh, I have been introduced many, many times. It helps that I've traveled through NC a number of times for various reasons (mostly touring with a band). My previous introductions are what are making me strongly consider a trip down to NC this summer. Memphis Barbecue is the best in the world. Carolina is mediocre at best. I love Memphis for ribs. I love NC for pork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
