We have to wait a week for the list?

That’s great news. CAn’t wait to get this thing going!

Whoo Hooo!! Can’t wait!

Thanks for the info, We will (at least you do Nick) how many labels are sent around. We dont want any walking off.

Thanks Nick….Just anxious

You the man Nick! Cant wait to get this going

exciting news! hope your vacation was great.

Sounds awsome Nick!!!! Sorry I missed you guys at the party Saturday night. By the time I found Bob it was like 9:20, and I knew you were already gone. Looks like I missed a great time darn it.

You may want to consider numbering the labels yourself Nick once all are back in your hot little hands. Have people request specific numbers to add to their matching numbers collections. No requests for specific numbers without photographic proof, for example: I have 3 matching #40’s and I know there is a collector of #19’s #1-5 would probably be at your discresion because everyone wants the lowest number possible :)……This was just a thought not something that will need to happen or be paid attention to right away. But should ONLY be numbered AFTER thay are all signed once they return to you. Have a great day I am outtie to work now after taking the morning off to see if there was an N-59 somewhere on the internet I could buy nope not one anywhere yet that I could find.

That sounds awesome- thanks for the info. An email is on its way Nick

I’ve had a look for the N-59 or ohter sauces on ebay too pmac but they seem that they don’t want to let them go - to be fair - I wouldn’t

This is a great idea. I can’t wait to get started!

This is gonna be pretty cool

Please include me! I definitely want a piece of this. In fact, can I buy multiple bottles? Thanks Nick!

It would be awesome if you could get CaJohn, Blair, Creator and the Three Hot Tamales to get in on this as well Nick. It would make them extra special

Agreed. They would certainly be collector’s items then!

Oh how special you would be to get in on the first run! Ha Anyway sounds like the plan is good to me.

Nick I sent you an email earlier - within about an hour after my post. Hope you got it OK

….Almost as much anticipation as a new Blair’s release!

I think this is more exciting as we are all a part of making it!

Well said…huv

Sweet!! Did we decide if we are signing reg. name or blog names?

I’m signing as either “Mr. Fancy Pants” OR “King Shit of the no wipe tribe”

ha! That last name you might sign it with is worth like 3 more signatures on the bottle but it would bring the funny no doubt! It should turn out quite well though

Ryan, Please use the sharpie, but becareful….I can see you wanting to use a crayon

One of thos big fat preschool ones too!

I’ve decided…I’m gonna sign it “Turd Blossom”

Whoever signs the label before the Creator, PLEASE put a note in the envelope to remind him that we don’t need any strange smells impregnated into the label..Just sign it..no scratch-n-sniff stuff.

@Tracy….Great Idea …

@ Ryan….Dude we need to Party

That would rock! What state are you in?

So Cal….

I guess that was a bit vague…Los Angeles

Damn, a little far for me to be driving at the moment

That link is no good

I’ll have to find it….Its cool

Where you at Ryan!

Portland, OR

It’s rainy here…I’m going to brush my teeth with Death sauce and call it a night.

Nick, not sure if my email is sending you emails, but I sent you pictures of sauce in a creative place, and I did send my address in tonight, let me know if you got them, apparently your email was floating around with my spam in the yahoo spam folder with 15k other emails.

Nick, since this is pretty big, its going to take about 3 months for the labels to move around the country. This is based on an average 2-3 delivery time between signers That puts us around early July. Once the “schedule” is in order, we can get a better idea of the approx date people will be getting these. This way if anyone is scheduled to be away, we can re-arrange so they dont sit is a mailbox somewhere.

Any thought on a tracking section on here so we can all update the progess as it moves around the country.

This plan sure is coming together!!! It will be awsome to have a sauce signed by all the brothers and sisters!!! This is what this Blog is all about.

If it’s gona be early July before the bottles are produced then I’ll have to send Nick an email closer the time (July) with my new address to send a bottle as I leave this house mid-June. Otherwise some lucky person will have one delivered to this house n I’ll be 5mins down the road

and then I’d cry!! lol

I think the idea of a thread for tracking the labels is a great idea. Whoever has them last can post when they send them out again.
BTW- we are working on the labels as we speak and should be able to send them to Nick in a couple days.

I forgot how many bottles will be made. So, how many. LOL

I’ll turn them around fast!
I don’t mess around!

Even if you turn it around, its still going to take about 90 days…
average 1 day layover to sign etc. and 30-35 x 2-3 days shipping (thats if everyone ships them back out quickly)…dont forget oveseas.

I doubt if anyone will drag their feet on this, but I see how it’s going to take a while with just the shipping alone.

Perish the thought that they could get lost or damaged.

I have nightmare storys about shipping problems. (and like you said Chris, the Post Office will have to ship them MANY times)

I never realized how serious this was! You guys rock. I’m glad to be part of this and I can’t wait to see the finished product.

YIKES! It’s that redheaded habanero eatin’ mohawk guy!

You know all want our signatures! Where is questionable, but hell, we are the Three Hot Tamales! Everything is negotiable! Kisses!

Dan you better get to work on those labels before these people track you down…They’re already counting the days.

MSK, DC and 1 of 3, I guess I better jump in here as well!

LeeWho?

LeeWho?

:) :)

Who’s Lee?

Lee Cash of Danny Cash Hot Sauce

Lee signed a Fiery Food Show t-shirt for me and wrote “CaWho”

CaJohn finally got his revenge….LOL

This is funny stuff.

I agree creator its quite amusing

Yeah if there was a thread that tracked the labels like Lee w/DC said in comment #47 then you would be able to see exactly where in the world the labels have travelled, distance etc. (obviously locations would have to put on the thread too)

CaJohn, just a comment on your staff. I spoke with Scott I think he said his name was, (chilechef), he called me regarding a voicemail I left for your compnay.
I thought you should know that he was exceptionally friendly and very polite. It was brief only about 10 minutes tops, but I really enjoyed talking to him. You got my business in the future. Thanks a lot Mr. CaJohn! (this may sound really gay..as in silly..but when I encounter good Customer service, I make sure everyone is aware of who has it. Too few people have it these days unfortunately.)

PMAC…..

Right on Brother!

Yeah i know my threads are always off topic I never know where to post what its too confusing and can never find the last post i made if i leave and come back, if its not on the recent comment list anymore its as good as LOST. LOL
maybe a search engin or login with a “track your last 20 comments” section attached to your login.
Damn that would be sweet for a guy like me and any private comments can be left for specific users on trading etc. Dunno heh just thoughts I have.

I agree pmac, something to track where you posted last. When things start flying round here, its tough to find what you were replying to.

Wow, Cajohn’s even in on this now? I guess everybody’s got a PC these days……

Sweet, Cajohns in the house!!!!!!

I’m surprised the old man can figure out the magic box with bright colors. You bloggers are making blogger out of us cooks - that might be bad for business if we chat all day.

hehehehe - does Chris Tevis get in on the Blog action? or is he just doing the wedding stuff now?

You would never know if someone is watching, listening, and learning here?
Maybe even posting.
All we are, are names…except for the folks that went to NM.

No, I am not implying that I am him or anyone other than myself.
Just because we dont “hear” from people, doesnt mean they arent listening.
The HSB is a valuable tool for those involved in everything Hot sauce.

DC in the house representin’ the big CO!!! What’s happenin’ Danny? the Texas show isn’t looking good for us but we’re still working on it.

What was the subject of this blog again? Oh yeah the labels. Get off the web and get to work, Dan!

HAHA Hey Lee… shouldn’t you be gettin’ back to making me some more Flaming Esophagus?? Good to see you, Lee!

Dude, it’s not a show without BLP. Go to zestfest.

I want a job with BLP….

LeeWhoa, or is that LeeWho? Don’t get out of your league now, I’ve got a iMac AND a PC. What did you do to loose the blue hair? was it a demotion or something like that? Anyway, it was great to get to know some of you, and I look forward to meeting all of you. ZestFest is even a better party than ABQ, but it made giant strides on it’s way back to the top. The last couple of NFFS were pretty dull compared to this one. I’m sure the addition of the HSB crew made it that way. Blair, I hope you’re on the way to 100%. Jonathan from Simplex was pretty sick on Friday as well. The Tamales were a welcome addition to the fold. I just have to figure out who is 1/3, 2/3,3/3. I know which one is the Queen, but I don’t know why.

PMAC, thanks for the kind words about the krewe. The name is Steve, and he’s the Operations Mgr. here at CaJohns. His handle is chilechef, and he’s been in the food industry for years.

DC, now if you only knew the difference between a Jalapeno & a Serrano and what the best use for them were. There was a time DC said I took him under my wing, now he talks of magic boxes with bright colors, where did I go wrong? By the way, the girls are the “Fresh Air” for the industry. Keep up the good work!

Thanks CaJohn, we loved hanging with you too. We are always up for a great time! And you guys always know where the party is! Thanks for such a warm welcome! BTW, I am sure Queen Kristi feels the same!

Cajohn, it’s too bad Chip wasn’t there, we could have directed most of it towards him. Pass it on, will you?
BTW-The blue spikes were kind of hard to pass out drunk in. Priorities, man.

Lee & DC how was that mash? I know what the label said! Leave me out of this, I wasn’t there to defend myself, and now I’m just an innocent bystander.

Cajohn, Thanks for all your comments and support!! On the Kristi “queen” thing, Im really not sure why she has that title, I can however tell you that it is truely a fitting one.

Oh, and CaJohn, we just let Kristi live in her own world. It makes her happy. I mean we just got her to stop wearing that ill fitting crown! LOL

Hey Chip!!!!!! ‘Bout time you came out of hiding!!!!!!

Chip you’re never an innocent bystander. What did that mash say….”Danny Cash Mash sucks too”? lol-sucks like a fox!
How goes the relocation? Cold enough for ya? (hyuk hyuk)

I think Chip has been hidding because he is scared of the Cash crew. What’s up Chip how ya doing? Are you going to Texas? Hey Lee not much going on at ACT today??? MSK can you send pics of the show when you get a chance?

Regarding the tracking list (#63, etc.), it would be cool to have an interactive map that gave a graphical representation of the trips around the country and world. Do we have any programmers around that could string this together?

Hey DC I have some funny video of the Habanero stunt at the show. Your spikes actually changed collors!

Mad_Reilly, can you send me that vid? I’d like to post it on our website. Nick can give you my email address and we’ll FTP it. Thanks-

The labels have been completed and shipped! Step 1 complete. Nick should have them early next week.

Awesome news Lee.

That is great! Can you post a picture of the label?

Sorry Brian, they’ve left our hands and Nick’s the man to show them first since he’s the brains of this operation.

Totally agree - this is Nick’s party:)

Thanks for you efforts!

Has the mailing list gone out for this yet?

Not that I know of ryan.

This will be really great! I am looking forward to meeting you at the next show. It sounds like you had a great time!

In regards to (ref #79) Cajohn, you never even asked where the title “Queen” came from! Someone has to be the Queen, right????? I know it’s way too soon to dub myself the
“Queen of Hot Sauce” but it’s a goal, right???? Is there a King?????

Nick, If you are the king, what are we?
the court, or….
maybe youd better not answer that

I reserve the right to be “Arch Nemesis”

Don’t worry Nick - CC has your back.

Nick, one of my favorite movies!

Nick,

did you see this on Blair’s site?

GET READY FOR THE HUGE “CUTTING FLOOR WINNERS” 6 Judges -Suzi, Karin, Smokin Joe, Luis, Chris and Blair….All Meeting On Monday March 13th For the Final Round . No Losers in this contest

Nick L check your e-mail please, wanna hopefully have you post something up for grabs on eBay now. Sorry guys I hadda do it. Something came up. Need the $ for another bottle to help my collection.

Dont feel bad pmac. Sometimes you need to give up a bottle in order to get another!

My girls are the best! Wouldn’t be here without them. (Keep the number for that crow thing just in case) Love you girls!

Well Chi-Town is still here. I’m here to do the International Housewares SHow in the NASFT Pavillion (the Fancy Food Show people). It will be pretty low-key next to last weekend’s blowout. I’m going to go to dinner at Heaven on Seven, Chef jimmy Banos has a collection that would make you cry. I’ll get some pics. Kristi, If there is a king, no one is bold enough to step forward and claim the crown…

Well it’s good to hear from you CaJohn, I’ve heard you were, hands down, “The King”. Very impressive.

CaJohn, Nick unofficially stepped in see #102.

Chris K where on the site did you see that?

eman, the Blair’s comment?

Holy Cow - I leave the blog for 24 hours and after 1 old man joke, I get ripped by a Hot Sauce Hero! I love this industry! CaJohn rocks! Nice to hear from Chip from AZ Pickles (Now Old Pueblo Distributing or something). After meeting Gourmet Dave in Orange County at the Zesty Best show, and Blair last weekend - I can’t get enough of it. Collecting is rad, but I have a bad habit of eating it all instead of keeping it forever in MIB condition.

yep

Right on the Home Page next to the bottle of 3am. It looks out of place there. When you click on more info it just talks about 3am.

Oh yeah - the labels rock. Lee took care of the shipping and they are IN TRANSIT as we type.

Blair’s comment is under the collectors series sauces look at the 3A.M. bottle.

Speaking of collecting… anyone know if the worlds’ last bottle of Blairs’ Beyond Death (and signed as such by Blair) would be worth anything?

oh, now I see it, yes that is a weird place for it…hey everyone I found a new hotsauce store that we are going to tomorrow…does anyone want me to look for anything?

Wow - now Jim’s gettng in on this. Is the bottle open? I’ll eat it.

But eman, you cannot fit any more Blair’s in that cabinet.

ok JIM Campbell, I would probably pay more for that than anyone else here, do you want to sell?????????????????????????????

YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION JIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Chris K I can always buy a bigger and better one!!!!!!

DON’T LEAVE ME HANGIN’ JIM

I’ve no idea what it would be worth actually. I hold it for as much sentimental value as anything. Blair is/was one of my very first chile pepper customers. I’ve a bunch of other signed ones form some other folks, some who ar no longer with us. All customers of chiles at some point.

ROFLMAO!!!

calm down eman, or we will have to call CC.

Jim, its not nice to toy with eman. He has a huge (blair’s) appetite.

hahaha - whats CC & ROFLMAO?

Jim I truely believe that if you were ever looking to help save the sanity of someone and at the same time let the bottle in question have about as good a home as any. eman is someone that you should have a conversation with. He has been looking for one of those for quite some time now. Take it from me, he is one excellent person. Trust what he says.

Do your kids need college money?

ROFLMAO = Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off!

Well, one kid has expressed an interest in 4 years at Harvard

DC you still around?

CC = CAPTAIN CAPSICUM

thanks for the kind words pmac, did you get my email?

Thats awesome - the longest acronyms I use are DOA and DUI because I’m afraid of both. What up CaJohn? Hows “C to the Hipster”?

He’s back in OH and afraid to post

oooooo, I don’t think all of us together could pay for that.

You do need to tell me though if the bottle is for sale. I do remember one selling on ebay a while ago for about $250

We use LOTS of acronyms in the fireservice also: DRT (Dead Right There) ART (Aquired Room Temperature) and JPFROG (Just Plain Freaking Ran Out of Gas)

I guess I’ll hang onto that one for a bit longer yet. Didn’t mean to lead you on. Just kind of new to this blog thing and wanted to stay on topic.

You do have that prototype bottle eman! That should pay for all 4 years at Harvard and even get you some money back…

Hey Jim - Welcome. I still tell stories on how I bought mash from you, and didn’t pay until I received it cuz I had to add shipping!!! A true gentleman this guy is!
-=john=-

JPFROG, thats classic. Thatses ok Chris, I didnt even pick up on that haha

I feel for you eman, soooo close, but yet?
