Glad all you guys had a good time, I know I did…The scar tissue on my liver told me so. Didn’t want to leave, but, as you all know, I had to. It was really cool putting faces on so many names. Hopefully everyone is coming to Albuquerque as well.

Ditto! To us it was a big part of the fun, actually seeing and meeting everyone we have talked to on-line so much, so many visions or expectations of what you thought someone was going to look like turned out to be way off base.

Not bad for a bunch of home boys!

Oh, he was Bret don’t worry, I was just riding on your coattails.

Kristi congrats to you and Chris. If you get anymore 3am phone calls It’s Betty Lou, she mad as hell. You came home with all kind of good stuff like a guy. Bigshow got a bike ,Cajohns got some cool glass work. Creator got a ribbon and all she got. Well let’s see what the Dr says what it is.

Henry, it was a blast. Hopefully you’ll be joining us in Albuquerque. Perhaps this time we should all go to bars that have dialysis tubes sticking out of the walls.

It was definately cool to put names with faces… great people and then incidents that may or may not be put on permanant records now.

I remember waiting for a cab and someone from the hotal came out asking if we had any idea who was running down isles of the hotal screaming “I’m gonna die!” Yeah an impression was left LOL. I kept imagining someone chugging a bottle of sauce in mistake, some stupid hot perhaps.

Anyone else notice the extra security in the airports on the way home? When we got to Phoenix there were some cops with dogs walking around inside

I waiting to see CaJohn and crew when they get home to remind them that they still have to come to work tomorrow even though they are probably still hung over

Good Morning!! Wendy and I are heading home today also, we nned the rest, LOL!! We drove here from Florida and will be stopping in New Orleans on the way back, still plenty of Hot Sauce to search out. Thanks again to the tone of incredible people we met this weekend, though it was our “First Time” we were welcomed and treated like old friends, and that means alot to us. To the remaining travelers- be safe!! VW!!

Ok got to go. Catch me a airplane. 1st I have to stop at wifes work. To give her some flowers before I go. Then I’m out of here, will try to keep updated. Come Leroy we have to get going. I told everybody we would be on one of those Big planes. I hope no one sees use getting in Old Bucks Crop Duster plane . Let’s go. Peace Bret

That happened to me last night too.
Is there a length restriction?

What a fantastic time ZF was. It was great getting to meet and party with everyone! Everyone said I had a really time

I’m kinda glad the Fiery-Foods Show is 6 months away. I need to save more money and get a liver transplant in that time.

I just got home a couple hours ago. ZF was an “F”ing awesome time, with “f”ing awesome people. I am happy that I gor the opportunity to meet and get to know the people that were there, and for those that weren’t, I look forward to having the same opportunity in the future.

Dan, I’ll see you in the O-R getting that liver transplant… I’ll be in the next room doing the same. Lee and I will also be getting balls removed due to out experience with the mechanical bull

I learned a lot while I was there, made some good connections both personally and businesswise, and learned a valuable lesson that I will pass along to everyone here…Magma, Z, Fitalli Fire, and Black Mamba does not go well with an empty stomach. Don’t ever do it! Gotta go unpack and get some rest ‘n shit. Catch ya’ll later!

I can vouch for the fact that you did indeed have a freakin blast I am pretty sure all the party goers are going to be getting liver transplants in the next few days I am amazed that ya’ll are still standing upright I have never seen that amount of alcohol consumed in one weekend without someone puking on the bar floor or falling down in the street.

Gotta go unpack and get some rest ‘n shit.

Side note – I am officially married as of Saturday! Everything went great, and the personalized hot sauces on all tables spiced things up a bit.

We shipped everything home with the rest of our crap! Paid WAYYYYY to much for overages in NM and didn’t want to do that again! LOL

BTW, TRAVELING SUCKS!!!! THT arrive in LGA at 1:10 AM 9/12 instead of 10:23 PM 9/11.

Glad to hear the THT and gang arrived safe. Was great to meet everybody !!!!! Are we all home now except for Vic and Wendy ( on vacation) ?

Forgot Thebigshow, we are going out to dinner in Phoenix this Thursday. He will be home soon after that I think.

Also forgot Jim Campbell, he’s on his way to Houston this weekend. Hurry back Jim, but travel safe buddy.

Good morning all!! I ended up getting back into Des Moines about 5:30 last night. What a weekend!!!! It was so nice to get tomeet everyone, felt to me like a bunch of old friends having their semi-annual reunion. Thanks to everyone for the fun and the laughs.

Though I think my liver will recuperate on its own, I think I could sleep for a week. Between late nights and all the excitement, I am one tired cheffy.

I hope everyone else had a great time and makes it back home safely. Lets do next year even bigger and better, not to mention Fiery Foods which is only 6 months away. Thanks again everyone, I look foward to hearing from all of you.

If he doesn’t, I will use my favorite cuss word. But I think I am already going through THT withdrawal, I miss you guys so much! Is there something out there to cure THT withdrawal???

And by the way, I think I need that tape destroyed. We didn’t get any crazy video of you guys, so it’s only fair that ZERO evidence exists.

And that Milky Way WAS hard to open!!!

It was good hooking up with you man. Had a blast! Oh yeah, talking about tired, ended up cooking up something like 250 lbs of wings at the Hillborough gig, after less than 4 hours of sleep after landing Friday night. I am one with the tiredness.

Keep an eye out, I have a sneaking suspicion the Batch #3′s will enter the maelstrom shortly. We’ll be finishing up the final touches on the last of them this evening.

Cheffy, we got in last night and were starving, so we ordered some burgers and we opened up your BBQ sauce, and all I have to say is, we need a gallon-size jug of that stuff. That and Danny Cash’s Renegade Ranch. Between that BBQ sauce, the Renegade Ranch and the THT Garlic Lover’s Steak Sauce, all I need to do is order a plain burger and use all 3.

Well – So I unpack yesterday only to find that TSA went through my luggage. Now I’m all for this in the name of security. The issue I have is that my clothes are ruined. TSA in their infinate wisdom opened one of the two sauces that I had stuffed into a CaJohn coozy for protection. The sauce was taken from the coozy and opened and spilled all over my luggage. So anyone who got a signed and numbered Chuck Hell, your collectibilit yjust went up as number 5/13 is now open. I am also highly allergic to bee stings and my epi-pen was taken out of it’s tube that it comes in. To top it all off, there was no TSA card inside my luggae stating that it was searched. Needless to say I am little ticked off. Like I stated – I don’t care that they went through my stuff. It does pi$$ me off that there was no TSA card inside and I will have a he!! of a time trying to re-coup any af the damages to my clothes.

We are still here at the hotel. Will be leaving this afternoon and trying to catch up this evening.

Dude, that blows. I’m really sorry to hear that man. Our luggage had been gone through as well. They left everything a frick’n mess and didn’t latch the inner divider so when I opened the suitcase to get a lighter out after landing and all that, our crap fell all over the place…and no TSA card. Sorry about the hot sauce man, that sucks that it got opened and that it got all over your clothes.

Thanks Ryan – We’ll see if I can get any action but I highly doubt it. One bright spot is that my Loco Luna, Danny Cash and Scotty B’s t-shirts didn’t get ruined.

The TSA went through my huge suitcase too – but the funny thing is, it looks like they went through the first layer of sauce (all the hot sauces were wrapped in clothes) and then gave up. They only unwrapped about 4 bottles.

I’m glad that your stuff didn’t get ruined. I thought they couldn’t open containers? I don’t care that they wanted to see what the jar was but can you imagine if it would have been a Blair’s #1 or something that carries a high resale value?

MSK pulled into the driveway at 3:00 am this morning. I have a VA appointment this morning but I’ll be back on the Blog in this afternoon. AND…I have to start getting ready for the trip to the Houston show!

MSK i am starting to believe your invincible good lord man how do you do it?

OH DAN I am so sorry that really bites the big one, that is one of the reasons that Ryan and I shipped everything back, they aren’t leaving cards anymore and they make a huge mess, and call it security, I wonder if they sniff the dirty manty and panties?

HAH I wasn’t wearing any panties all weekend! lol

TMI!!!!!!!!!! i am going to pretend i did not just read that LOL

Yeah Dan sorry to hear of the crappy deal you got there.

Our luggage had a TSA card in it, funny thing was there was a lock still in tact and I swear nothing looked touched, I got lucky I guess.

PMAC, great to meet you and the mrs. give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek for me your cool people

Kristi, my 11 year old son says your hot. I told him you were getting married and he said DARN IT, she is good lookin.

Awww thats sweet, maybe we’ll have THT shirts for guys by NM, I’ll send him one as a consolation prize! Maybe with a big lipstick kiss across the front of it. lol Glad you guys made it back ok.

DK on 9/11/2006 at 4:14 pm said:

I know that feeling every day of my life!

You were there in spirit sunshine, don’t you worry!

Can’t wait to hang with you in NM.

The Wife on 9/12/2006 at 8:50 am said:

If he doesn’t, I will use my favorite cuss word. But I think I am already going through THT withdrawal, I miss you guys so much! Is there something out there to cure THT withdrawal???

And by the way, I think I need that tape destroyed. We didn’t get any crazy video of you guys, so it’s only fair that ZERO evidence exists.

And that Milky Way WAS hard to open!!!

YK The Wife….we only live 15 minutes from yas! We will have to go out for those steaks and drinks once we have all recovered from this weekend! Hey it is not just the sauces that are addicting it is the actual THT crew that is addicting! LOL

And we love it when you say your favorite cuss word! Especially when it is aimed at Doug! LOL

And the word of the day about that tape is……NO. LOL

Oh, and I know honey, they gave you the extra strong wrapper on that Milky Way. It really wasn’t your fault! “wink wink”

The Wife on 9/12/2006 at 8:53 am said:

Ok, now I am getting jealous. If you get to pet Nick, who do I get to pet?

LOL…hey just give me his shirt…it was so soft! But don’t tell Nick that it was just the shirt! LOL

Not this trip but coming home from NM in March they went thru my luggage. But I did have a tag and nothing of mine got ruined. That truly does suck. Hey, not for nothing, I would so rather have them search something that looks off, then be blown sky high! I guess it is all in the matter of prospective.

Hey Truth, did they search your bags with that bottle of NOS in there?

Of course DK! You were always in our thoughts!

For some reason I don’t think they touched my hot sauce? Maybe they opened it and got scared at the mess cause I sure didn’t fold anything up when I put it back in there! Dan that sucks about your luggage. Let me know where they are and I will track them down and get the damages out of them

Well – So I unpack yesterday only to find that TSA went through my luggage. Now I’m all for this in the name of security. The issue I have is that my clothes are ruined. TSA in their infinate wisdom opened one of the two sauces that I had stuffed into a CaJohn coozy for protection. The sauce was taken from the coozy and opened and spilled all over my luggage. So anyone who got a signed and numbered Chuck Hell, your collectibilit yjust went up as number 5/13 is now open. I am also highly allergic to bee stings and my epi-pen was taken out of it’s tube that it comes in. To top it all off, there was no TSA card inside my luggae stating that it was searched. Needless to say I am little ticked off. Like I stated – I don’t care that they went through my stuff.

Dan,

I am sorry to hear that! I don’t recall giving you a jar of Ogoun ( too much whisky that night) but I’m sorry it caused you such grief! PM me on the board and I’ll see what I can do about getting you a replacement….I have a few a few still left.

Just wanted to also say I had a blast and everyone was super cool! Can’t wait for next year!

Can’t wait to try it! The Oogun rocked too! The Mrs. and I definitely plan to be there next year. Hope to catch you there.

K gang, back, nice to hear from Chuk Hell, and I agree, your stuff was great also. I don’t think I tasted 1 that I did not like, but must admit, Jims stoopid and CaJohns Mamba packed the biggest punch. I watched Ryan take a big spoonful of Stoopid and Ryan, yer a brave man dood , sweat, tears and all !!!

I wound up spending 90 some odd dollars at Staples to ship all my stuff back via UPS. Don’t know how much it all weighed, but it was a lot. On top of the stuff we collected, we also had 4 cases of the Tropical Mischief to ship back.

Blane, anybody can tell you, when you are just starting out, your reg day job is only 1/2 the battle. There is 6-8-10 more hours work to do when you get home. Thats why I shut my e bay down , just to get some rest and some sleep. I should be back up to normal in a cpl days or so, and going to totally revamp the store items, and also have to get the dot com thingy working, super spicy dot come is live but you cannot buy anything yet. Gotta fix that.

Mrs Ryan,
Sanyo is a secret undercover spy I employ to check out the competition at food shows and the like. She is very hard to spot and is an expert at disguises. No sightings have been recorded to date. She is very good but very expensive. One true incognito expert.

HMMMMM maybe i can hire her to keep an eye on Ryan so I don’t have to keep searching for him everytime we do an event like ZF

Mrs.Ryan on 9/13/2006 at 1:07 am said:

I will subcontract her out on a basis of $600 scovilles per hour, are you sure it’s worth it? Generally speaking, Ryan can be found where ever the coldest beer or the hottest sauce is. Also, watch out for the final table in po ker tourneys, he is very good..

LMAO I was so exhausted from running around searching for him I had to miss the po ker tourney I needed sleep ZF was such a blast

I’ll get back to you on the subcontract

It was great meeting you as well. We sold the bottles at ZF for $4 a piece, so we’ll continue to do so for anythone that is interested (plus shipping). E-mail us at mischiefmakerssauceco “at” msn “dot” com with your order and we’ll get it out to you. We kinda had the bad corner of CaJohn’s booth, so it was difficult to get noticed over there.
