    Annual Conference ???

    Hello everyone, as you probably know I have only been around less than a month and I really like this site. Is is possible that maybe one day we have an AmazingRibs.com Annual Conference? I can't think of a better word than conference but I just know there is one. Would that be fun? Meet, break bread, Q, drink and enjoy. Maybe some of the vendors would show up and bring their wares. If no one wants this then you will not hurt my feelings it is just a thought and maybe a long way off.

            Florida is a scorcher in July. Humidly it terrible. The only reason people come here is so they can stand neck deep in the water.

              Wow, 23 is COLD for FL. It's 19 at my place right now.
              23 in FL is like MI hitting 100s+ in summer. It happens, but it makes the news when it does.

              it's really cold here in Canada right now, and where I live is getting hit with about 3 - 4 inches of snow all day today. Driving into work this morning was not pleasant.

            This should go in the member meetings channel. We've talked about having get togethers, but it's still very early stages. I'm very interested to see where this goes.

              I like the idea of regional and national even better. That way start small and see what it takes to put one on. And also folks that could not make national because of distance could possibly make regional.
            #12
            The logistics of running a National event are very large. I would recommend having some local events first.. Call them "Pit Nation GTG's" (Get ToGethers). They could be at someones home and just get some guys together to cook and share ideas. Then if they are successful you could expand them to State, Regional, or National events. I am thinking of having one at my place after the first of the year. It will be open to all that want to come. Hopefully there won't be more than about 20 folks that come as that is about all my place can support.

              That would be great Smarkley. I was also thinking that it would be nice to see some other grills/smokers that what I have so I will encourage some of those coming to bring their equipment if possible. For some just making the trip will be all they can do which is understandable.

            Being that the Holiday's are upon us I was thinking the middle of January is as early as I could get something together. Say like the the weekend of 17 January.

              Barry, not sure I can come that early but we are planning to go the Alpharetta soon after the holidays. Might work though. I would give it my best shot.
