Created a new website to announce the date for Porkapolloza II: High on the Hog. You can check out the details over at releasethecracklins.com.

My hope is to find some time to build out a quick site to post all the information on this year’s big BBQ party being held on Saturday, July 31st.

I’d love some feedback on what information you’d like to see available on the site…

Sitting on my patio the other night, I noticed this lone flower budding in the hill side that separates the two flat portions of the yard. It was all by itself and rather striking looking as you can see.

If someone out that can identify this flower… there might just be a prize in it for you.

Whoa! What a party! Everyone had a great time and ate some (hopefully) tasty exotic meat.

The weather didn’t do us any favors this year but we can’t complain. We’ve had a number of good weather Saturdays over the years so I imagine that we were due. It never rained so hard that it sent people scrambling for cover… just a slight dampness to the day.

I hope to write out a more detailed account later, but here are some photos friends took during the party.

Getting up every day at 5:45am for work can be tough. However, I just discovered that waking up at 3 in the morning to put a pork shoulder on my WSM isn’t so bad.

I’m going to try to see if I can file my local tazes online through the worse interface i’ve seen in a while. it reeks of developer. no design at all.
pity though… it could be really engaging.
