GOT AN IDEA. !!!!

[bubbaschili]

on sat may the 12 i posted a while ago is our north carolina state chili championship...the current world champion dana polcheck will be at our cook off cooking. i had a neat idea just run thru my mind..myself and vic (chili man) cook at this event and my idea is this.. to promote the website and great hot sauces we have here on this site is to make up a www.thehotpepper.com gift basket to raffle off or give away at the state championship.

what do yall think??

ive got a cpl of hot sauces like some daves and others i will donate to the basket.
if alot comes in we could make several baskets??

[Sickmont]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

[chiliman]

That's a great idea Bub's. Just gotta happen FAST!

[Cap'n Bones]

Sounds like a plan! Bubba pm me with your mailing addy and I'll send you a little something for the basket.

im gonna put in some magma and frostbite and hazmat

[marcosauces]

Will send you some as well...pm me when is needed..

[bubbaschili]

the cook off is may the 12th so anytime before then...im thinking of finding some red and yellow paper to make the basket look like its on fire. and put the hot sauces around the flames.

[chiliman]

Very crafty, Martha, you gonna make napkin rings as well;)
(Actually a nice idea, just felling a bit feisty today)

I plan on making a bid!

Hey Kato, send some of your Rajun Cajun and I'll bid my butt off! Between some Cap'n and the Cajun, I'd be one happy boy!

A bottle of Blue's Habanero reserve (unsigned) was sent this morning. Shouldn't take but a day to get to Mocksville.

[bubbaschili]

thank you so much blue.....vic...lets put our heads together we could either put it in the silent auction or do drawing for a buck a draw(i got some of those tickets that split in 2) what do you think? if we get enough we can make 2 or 3 baskets.....my daughter went thru her closet last night and i got like 5 or 6 easter baskets....im gonna tell her the easter bunny repoed em.

[bubbaschili]

hmmmmmmm your right baskets sound kinda fruity.....what else could we put them in????? geeezzz watch one episode of rachel ray and im doing gift baskets.....i need to do something manly...quick everyone to the strip club!!!! well smoke cigars and whistle at half naked women......whooooooooooo

[huvason]

FKS will try and get a set out to you this week Bubba. Always willing to help a good cause.

[chiliman]

I would imagine that as silent auction would make the most cash but the drawing would be way more fun (and I would have a fighting chance) Might be funny to throw in a fire extinguisher with the sauces. (I have one available as it turns out.)

I'll think on it for a bit and see what lightbulbs go off here and write down any brilliance.

And, though I know Bubba will thank you all enough, I would like to send thanks to all who can help. This is not my event, but I take some pride in it and even won the award for raising the most money last year and hope to repeat. So thanks!

If it's not to late Kato's is willing to send up 5or 6 of his sauces. Just PM me with a shipping address.

Not too late! Cook off on the 12th of May. Anyone interested can still send with lots of time left. (I am subbing for Bubba there, we are connected psychicly!)

Bubs, how about instead of baskets, we get a couple of the buckets that beer is served in at bars, WAY more macho. In fact we could probably get a few old beat up ones from some watering hole, MUY MUY MACHO!!

[marcosauces]

Bubba...suces and salsas are on the way,
Marco's Sauces always supports good causes.
and the basket doesn't sound fruity..:) we always make them at events for giveaways and peoples love them..

[DevilDuck]

Damn... I wish I had my company going....!

[bubbaschili]

Damn... I wish I had my company going....!

you can drive to greensboro and put in a bid or buy some tickets
lol

[bubbaschili]

vic i like the beer bucket idea.
i work at a bar part time ill see if i can get some from there and ill let you know.
ahhhhhh feel more manly now.......(tim the tool man taylor grunt)

[chiliman]

Sometimes the grey matter operates despite the beer haze! I like beer and thusly I like anything that brings beer to me.

I was just thinking....maybe this thing with Bubba is just a ruse and we will find him, on cook-off day, at home in his undies surrounded by tens of open bottles of hot sauce, in a adrenalyn rush high heretofore unknown to mankind. We are watching you pal! ;)

[bubbaschili]

i have never done well with the "money raised" part so if we do a ticket for a buck idea insted of the silent auction thing ill put all my money in with yours so you can try and beat out dan.insert evil laugh. you know someting i just remembered camp carefree had the silent auction and the state had the raffle tickets......so we can donate to the raffle do a ticket sale at our booth or do a silent auction at our booth.....your call dude.
i got another idea with the buckets im gonna try and see if sagebrush has any extra buckets that they put peanuts in(that and get us some peanuts to munch on......again evil laugh)

[bubbaschili]

blue's sauce came in today...love the lable on the bottle the colors just stand out.the sauce looks good from the outside.
like vic said i prommis i will not just open all of them up and go bannanas eating them...there for the chairty.....trust me folks.

[chiliman]

I thought there was a raffle, I kknow there was one a the Durham piece as well. I plan on dumping a bunch of bucks for tickets. I never win anything at raffles, but would love the sauces!

[kato]

We all here trust in you Bubba. One of the first members we met here.
Our gift crate containing six bottles of our sauces the Island,Meaner Greener, Rajun Cajun, Chipotle Steak, B.O.H.I.C.A, and Hemi in a wooden crate went out UPS ground. Hope you all can get a couple bucks for a good cause and if you all want to do this each cookoff count Kato's as a repeat donor.

Mick
Kato's

[bubbaschili]

that is super gracious kato.....we do like a dozen cook offs a year so i would just limit to a cpl of cook offs
well i gotta tell the vickster i got off the phone today and the cook off has over 15 restraunts entered...ive recived e mails from georgia of people comming....the world champ and her family about 3 from texas..........could you imagine we have about 50 entries for casi??? man im excited..........this is gonna be big.

[chiliman]

You have rocked the party as the Prez!

I look forward to handing the other restaurants their collective butts. This year Chili Man is out for everything! If I looked younger, I would go after the juniors as well, although that little girl has won two years running and seems to be a tough competitior.

I have been working on my Texas style and feel like I finally have my arms around it, though my 19th place finish at Cheraw would speak otherwise :)! But the whole of the Cheraw event was bizarre in judging, you can attest to that. (If you don't tell anyone, Bubs, John Rhynes wife said she liked mine better than his, I almost dropped a load. Seriously, don't tell anyone, she told me on the down low and said she would deny it alater if it got back)

[bubbaschili]

this years state looks like around 50 casi entries....including the current world champion......should be intresting....if i pull a first place casi that day your gonna have to call a ambulance im gonna code blue(or whatever heart attack is)

[chiliman]

WOW, that's a bunch of cooks. I'm ready to go!

[bubbaschili]

we should have mailed these to vic....marcos stuff come in today and it looks soooooooooo goooood....again trust me im not gonna eat it.
thank you again its for a great cause.

[marcosauces]

Glad to help bubba...

[bubbaschili]

i just wanted to say a quick thank you to all that sent sauce for the raffle. im like vick they look so good im gonna have to invest in some tickets.
hopefully this will be the biggest event in our pod history..ill let yall know
bubba out
