Hmmm. I’m assuming “member” means NBBQA member, not Pitmaster Club member.

This is on the edge of doable. If flights are reasonable I might be able to get in and out for under $2k. Ever give any consideration to doing it up here in The Poconos?

Edit: I just checked, it doesn’t look like the right organization for me. I’m not a professional, and I’m not thinking about being a professional, and I got nothing to share with people who are there to become more professional. If the event was local, I’d be there in a heartbeat. But I’m going to save my bbq travel money for a meet up.

Yeah, the main conference does lean more towards professionals (restaurant owners, manufacturers, etc), though Meathead's photography one, whole hog, and others should be very educational. And Saturday is all about the general public. Wish you were closer!
