Interest in a SE++ All-Star Dirty South Cook-Off?
Atlanta? New Orleans? Texas? (note: I'm including Texas as a courtesy. No one with any taste goes to Texas for food, especially BBQ.)
I'm thinking maybe June-July time-frame. This will give the plebes time to save their lawn-mowing money for PAX proper. Rough plan at the moment is to rent a decent sized house somewhere with a nice backyard and grill. SPend a fri-sun gorging ourselves in many, many, many dishes and establishing a true cooking champion. All the while enjoying coolers of beer and liquor and good company.
What say you public? Toss some ideas out. Lets see if this can be done.

DATES: CONFIRMED July 17-18-19
Slidell, LA, 25 mins from New Orleans LA
Accommodations
$500 Deposit DONE
$1325 RENT DONE
Yes, the deposit is held separate from the rent. Yes the rent has to be paid up-front. This is someone's house, not a Holiday Inn. Obviously split 8-12 ways, this isn't a lot of money.
PM for a physical addy for mailing payment, or Paypal to dankinder {at} gmail.com
You can pay me upfront as much as you'd like. If you help cover the deposit, that will be deducted from your share of the rent as that money will be returned to me.
If someone else would like to handle the finances, be my guest. I'll gladly let you.
IF YOU HAVE YET TO PAY, DO SO. YOUR FELLOW MEN HAVE COVERED YOU SO FAR. DO NOT LET THEM DOWN. DO NOT BE A FAGGOT BITCH.

I decided
Is that a Lady GaGa av/sig combo? I don't know if I trust your judgement.
although it should happen closer to me. like, say, in philadelphia
that should be reason enough
the whole idea was to get a central location as opposed to one coast or the other
edit: while still being eastern, ATL is cheap as hell to fly to
You don't go to Philly for BBQ silly, or for good sportsmanship.

Texas ain't the South anyway.
Goddamm, Hunter, I felt that in my nuts.
Annie edit: Keep talking shit and you won't taste my Shiner Bock marinated ribeye nor my pecan crusted seabass.
Motherfucker.
It's like North Mexico anyway, except with rednecks.

yeah but i don't care about other people's convenience
once a date is settled and people are interested i'll have to see flying vs carpooling
but I've never been to New Orleans.
The Big Easy is something that everyone should experience at least once. However, it should be noted that Louisiana in June/July will turn you into a puddle of gooey sweat quite easily. I advise that you start hydrating now.
I never thought I would intervene on behalf of texas, but the texas/mexico borderlands are a source of culinary delights, and while they may not be much to speak of in the realm of barbecue, I really must dissent on the point of "no one with any taste goes to Texas for food".
Dissenting over, I can't go to your awesome barbecue but I will be giving you guys the thumbs up from LA.
did... did you just mess with texas?
you motherfucker
thank satan
plus everybody's phones would get wet
good point
True, but there's tons of places outside the city; Stale's original idea for a Bed and Breakfast is still a good one.
I don't want to go to Texas at all
I mean, it's a pretty convenient middle. But you know half the people that show up are gonna want to trawl Bourbon Street. And then I'll shoot myself in the mouth. Maybe we can go see my relatives in Ponchatoula or Thibodaux or Slidell or something.
I'm all for a rickety shack in the middle of nowhere
it's where the best food is anyways
if it happens in july i can go to bars
if it happens in august i won't go because i might go to atl in september for dragon con
it always is
Keith are you a fucking otherkin
will there be a pot for a crawdad boil?
"Think of it as Evolution in Action"
of course
How else can I be expected to suck a head?
