When you open up a new social media account, they prompt you to enter a description, and I mean a short description. So if forces you to think about the essence of your idea. When I was creating the pages for @PaulsRibShack and @BishopofBBQ earlier this year, I sat at this very keyboard for a good little while, thinking how I wanted to describe the launch of our little project.
Here's how i listed the About box on our facebook page, "Some journeys are so fun they just have to be shared! Well, we enjoyed sharing barbecue with friends so much we had to open a Barbecue FoodTruck & Caterer!"
And on the instagram for @PaulsRibShack, "If you're into super-fun, delicious, all-wood smoked Barbecue, you’re in the right place! #FoodTruck #LifeIsMoreFunOntheRibList (Paul is @BishopofBBQ) www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com"
And @BishopofBBQ "Paul here, Pitmaster @PaulsRibShack & chief fun maker for our BarbecueAdventure! (My non-bbq life is @paulpettefer) #LifeIsMoreFunOntheRibList www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com"
One of the friendships I have deepened is with a young leader in our city named John O'Donnell. He leads the Healthier SWLA/Louisiana Healthy Communities Coalition Region 5, and is a great community volunteer, having really stepped up in our recent round of Hurricane Prep. John does some writing for this great local magazine, www.ThriveSWLA.com. Their monthly magazine is absolutely beautiful to look at, and well written to boot. John is one of our biggest supporters at the Rib Shack, and I couldn't be happier about that. Here is one of our several pic's together (John is in the center with the shades):
Healthy Image is the name of the marketing company that does the Thrive magazine. Well, Healthy Imabe/Thrive SWLA recently expanded to a new building, and invited us to come and bring the barbecue fun to their grand opening, which we were so happy to do! (The recent 1,000 plate cook was a referral from a friend who attended this event!!!) Here are a couple pics of their open house:
They loved the barbecue!!!! Here are the two ladies who coordinated the party.
Here is one of the owners. We've known each other for several years. They have a great business.
The after party! After this pic, I went and dropped off my trailer, cleaned a bit, and drove back past here after dark, and they were still in the parking lot enjoying their field of victory!
Oh, and the ribbon cutting earlier in the day!
So, we did a little barter action here: I provided BBQ Singles for 100 (I actually prepared for 200), and they give me some good coverage in their magazine. Well, the engaged my friend John O'Donnell to write an article on yours truly, and it hit the shelves this weekend!
John did a good job writing up our little story. I didn't "Vow to perfect my ribs" as his lead paragraph stated, but the story is pretty much accurate other than that. If you care to take a peek at it, here's the link, https://issuu.com/thrive/docs/thrive...017_webissue/6
Thank you all for helping me along the way!
