Hey Creator, go ahead and ship that to me. It’s MINE…MINE…MINE…MINE…somebody PLEASE help me..I’ve lost it

Creator - you got me sold on Batch #2. Let me know when and where to place my order!

Creator - PLEASE, SAVE ONE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll do anything, well… except trade my first Defcon Zero.

First of all I would like to say that, I WANT ONE!!! That and some of that new salsa for my death rain chips.

Wow, I have been waiting for a Blair Salsa, and now to get a Queso at the same time, great! I will have to buy this stuff by the case!

Looks like I still won’t get to taste the Zero, who could open that package? Looks like a great collectible, and with the demand from the HSB, no chance of me getting two, if any at all!

Hey Creator…wireless connection…nice!
That means you could take my Defcon 0 order right now from your booth.
I only want to get 1.

Man that is HOT ha! I guess we will just see if it all sells out at the show or not. If it doesn’t then let the madness commence! Cause there is gonna be a fight

I guess I’m gona be repeating what every1 else has said but I’ve gota get one of those defcon zero’s - they look awesome!!! Every1s pulling out the stops at the show

I’ll start the bidding

Do I hear $45?

Come on Creator, If you list em now, they will sell out in 15 minutes (from all the HSB chileheads) and you can close the booth and enjoy the rest of your weekend….lol

I think I know the magic words. Since Creator cannot sell until after the show, how about a trade???

Whoah Adam2, share the wealth with your fellow chilihead breathren.

Ok Creator, Im closing in. I know the layout, just need to get to NM!
I know your booth is between Simmie J’s Bar-B-Q Sauce and SouthAfricans.com. And the Three Hot Tamales are behind you on the left. And to get to Blair’s, leave your booth turn right (you cross an aisle after 3 booths) and go 12 booths down turn right and go straight ahead crossing 2 aisles? Am I right???

Those three new sauces from Blair’s diffinately look good I’ll be looking to order some of them.

Been looking at the floor plan layout quite a while huh?

Yes Scott, In pursuit of a Defcon 0.
Does the Capsacin-Based Homunculous have a cell phone? Maybe I could get a Defcon 0 from him, or he could hold one for me.

Chris, Blair is 3 booths to our right, the rest is pretty much on.

Does anyone know if there is ever gonna be one of these hot sauce shows near Jacksonville Florida?

Creator - NICE JOB. CAn’t wait to get one of these in the collection. It looks awsome!

The chances of that happening are probably as good as one happening up here in Oregon

So has anyone heard if Blair had any kind of reaction to the N-59 selling out a day before it was supposed to be up for grabs?

My crystal ball says NO.

For the love of god parker, your crystal ball is over there…you’er handling the wrong one

Ryan..Blair’s reaction probably went something like this…Hell YESSS!! Man this ROCKS!!!

Sorry about that Creator my research mislead me, (in others words, the floor layout plan on the FFS website is wrong then)

Ryan…..What the heck are you talking about? I hope not what I think…..:-)

Hey what kind of beers are those??? Pacifica’s?

No….let me guess…100,000 SU special microbrew.

At least we know MSK still has his head.

Hey Creator, nice job on the “0″!!!!!!!!!
You guys look like you are having way too much fun.

Mad, I see you got your beer! Are we happy now?

I am totally psyched about Blair’s Salsa! I go through a jar of salsa every couple of days and I’m about ready for something new. Plus, the “Hot” version of these store-bought salsas are WEAK. Now, I wonder if Blair is planning a Wing sauce to attempt to stop the Creator’s world domination?

Parker - parish the thought, I would NEVER imply something like that…

Well al I have to say is “such craic” (It’s an Irish saying). We are having such a good time. This show is unreal. For me it’s like getting a ticket for the grammys, the oscars, the emmys and going to them all in one night. We got to talk to Blair himself. The CREATOR of course! Meeting up with Nick (finally). Meeting all my chillihead buddies (feckin awesome people). Then we were hanging afterward at the private party with CAJohn, Creator, Nick, just unreal. We made this huge scene tword the end when we all ate a habanero (i have the video Nick). I really thought untill about six or so months ago that I was one of the only weirdos that collect hot sauce. Thanks to this blog I found out I was mistakingly wrong. And also because of this blog we’ve met some really amazing people along the way. I’m so glad we came out here and we look foward to many more in the future. Hats off to my (very patient) wife and JR. for putting up with me on this one. I bought so much hot sauce (and all of it is signed heheehehehe) And tasting all the sauce….Yummmm. I also have to say they sould have this thing in NJ next year because every top hot sauce I ate was from people from NJ. Blair, Creator, Three Hot Tamales (people you got to try this guys sauce - pretty hot & very good). It’s just awesome

PS
not only do I have a N59 I have a Defcon0 (amongst other things that i will divulge later) :). I have to just rub it in a little

pss
I’m trying to get a Defcon Day in Ireland. Can you immagine the laugh. In the works!!!!! MattUK I think you could make a short hop for that one

A thought for the day…

Recently a few of us came up with a great idea about a sauce being signed by all of us (the regulars that day in and day out post and contribute to the livelyhood of this blog). We discussed a way to make it happen, and it would have worked. We were faced with a dilema of who would be able to participate and who would be left out. Soon there after we were told that we couldn’t go that route because it would make people feel left out. Now the fiery foods show is going on. A few from the HSB had the financial ability and were able to take time off to go to NM to purchase things that we all want, but can’t because we can’t afford to take such trips and/or can’t take the time off work. Now there are number of posts showing up STATING that they are rubbing it in. It was bad enough that the manufacturers have left us out because they are only selling some of these items at the show, but now regular people from the HSB are making a blatant effort to make us feel left out. In closing I pose this question…Why is it ok to make those of us that couldn’t make the show feel left out, but when it comes to a project that was conceived by regular people posting on here nobody can be made to feel like they are being left out? I know I’m not the only one thinking this and I’ll get a bunch of crap for saying it, but someone had to.

I just wish I could be there

MAD, sound like you won an oscar…they almost started to “play the music” on that “thank you ” session…lol

Meeting all my chillihead buddies (feckin awesome people).
All? I guess the rest of us here arent included. There are more here (on blog) than in NM!

Maybe its the beer and excitemnet talking

Should I comment on your comment ryan?…lol

If you must

As for a show in NJ…that would rock!

Hey guys that stayed here didnt go to NM look on the bright side:

missed out on some great bottles didnt spend$200-300 on airfair
missed out on meeting the people didnt spend $75-150 a night to stay
missed out on all the fun didnt you have fun here
didnt get to take any pictures got to look at them here
didnt get to sample any hot food got to sample your own collection
dont have any exciting stories from NM thats true
I guess any way you look at it, it still sucks we couldnt go…

I expect to be hearing more from them soon, its only 11:42 there. I wonder if they will make it 2 for 2 and get kicked out again?

Such a wonderous pontification you have there Ryan. I see your point, but it is sort of the same thing with the HSB and travelling to the Fiery Foods Show. Some people have the time and the ability to post here and check the blog anytime they would like. A few people do not have that luxury and have jobs or other demands that keep them from being regular posters. I for one have posted as often as I could but am in the middle of moving and just started a new job. So, the frequency of posting is not there. I say if you have the ability to include all that want to then make every effort to do so. I know there are some that just started posting when the Ultimate Signed Blog Sauce came about but why not get more people to become regulars here?! It couldn’t hurt to have an even more active blog could it? Maybe a more exclusive signing would be easier or the sauce that more unique to those that get it. Either way it is gonna turn out fine I am sure! Nick does a great job with everything and I trust all will be ok Let the drama commence!

It’s great to hear everyone’s having such a good time out there. Man, do I wish I could have gone! Well, there’s always next year, right?

Now the real question: Was the #1/1 signed head still intact in the morning?

Better yet, Did Blair also sign MSK’s head?

Ahhh, the final day. Well, not to fear folks, it seems there will be plenty of ZERO’s to go around. They won’t be immediately available upon our return, as we are shipping them back with the rest of the show stuff (figure a 4-5 day delay). If they do completely sell out, I may be planning to make a couple more, as we had problems with a couple of them during transportation and have to replace them anyway. As for all of the mental duress from everyone that couldn’t go, c’mon, there is always next year. Hell, this is our first time, and we already reserved the same booth for next year. Me and The Createss have regular day jobs as well, and it was a bit of a stretch for us to get out here, not to mention an added cost (booth, 2-way shipping, setup materials, etc.), so if you really want to make it next year, plan for it now, and it shall happen.

Well, we didn’t get kicked out of a bar last night, oh well. I’ll try to give some live updates during the show today if possible.

OK look I’m not trying to rub it in. If it came out like that sorry, sorry. It’s all in fun. That’s what hot sauce is all about, FUN! We know everybody coul’nt come. That’s why we are posting and showing pictures etc. I wish everyone was here! That’s the great thing about “The Blog”. When I’m typing here I’m trying to share my experiences with all my chillifriends. Take this for example, Friday night I (we - my wife and JR.) could’nt hang out. I really wanted to but could’nt. I heard it was hysterical. I only heard the cliffnotes but I really got to see the pandimonium from the blog. I also wanted to take a few pics with Blair with JR. and my wife, that didn’t happen either. I would of love to buy (win the bid) on the prototype Caldera but I did’nt. Look at what The CREATOR is doing. He can sell out his Defcon 0 right now. He’s not. He’s bringing a pile of stuff home (which is a huge pain in the ass) and he’s putting it up for sale on his site. Most of us chilliheads here could of brought mutiple special bottles but we did’nt so other people could get a chance to get one. So look what I’m trying to say is (like the Rolling Stones put it) you can’t always get what you want. As for the sauce, I would like to include everyone who wants to get in. That decision is for Nick (who is dead sound in my book) to sort out. That’s all my thoughts on that one. Let’s get back to the FUN! One more thing, I’m sure we’ll see this stuff on ebay (prob now as we speak). Feel Alive Brothers

Have fun MAD!
Im betting next year the number of HSB’rs that go, will outweigh those that dont.

I look forward to meeting everyone next year!

Aaron - That has been discussed and is what is going to happen. I just used the signed blog sauce as an example due to its relevance.

Hmmm Defcon Day in Ireland. I’ve got to say that if that happened I’d be the first one there!! I’d set out about 10 days in advance in order to camp outside

Awesome idea Mad

Oh on the other hand- in the mean time ive got 2 get old of some of the XXX hot salsa. Defcon zero would also be a godsend though. I finally got my cutting room floor application in before the deadline - I’m on Blair’s site (page 5 I think) - Matthew Chamberlain

Ryan- ahh I see now. haha I hope I didn’t come off wrong! Whether or not I will get an email to participate in the Blog sauce is fine with me. I will try not to cry too hard lol BUT Hopefully the ZERO makes it all back in the same condition it left in. You never know what the planes do to your valued possesions

Hey Aaron, I had nothing against people being a part of the blog sauce signing. I was worried about the available space. I have nothing to do with who gets an e-mail or not. Nothing was taken wrong. Its all good.

Sweet action. I understand it all now! haha Now get back to making more entertaining pictures! lol If I ever get a digicam I might join the group cause I am always looking for an excuse to hone my photochop skills
