With all the jabber and the long list of HSB attendees going to Zest Fest this year, there’s one thing missing for the collectors. A checklist of collectible bottles that will be at the event. Correction, any decent collector knows all bottles are collectible, but these puppies are being made especially for Zest Fest 2006 – and in limited numbers! (plus we need to know how much $$ to bring, right?). And if you want to be sure the manufacturers know who you are, make sure you’ve got a collector’s badge and tell them you were sent from the HSB. (seriously, they’ll love to hear that!)
- T-99 (That’s right, it’s the T-99 not 59) – Brand New Giant 7 oz Cobalt Blue Glass bottle from Spain. It is Cork finished layered in multiple hand dipped resins”¦Topped with a 24k Gold dipped Skull then tagged off with a solid brass hand engraved number tag”¦..All in a New Jumbo Display Case”¦.This is part of a Trilogy Series””- 99 For Texas””-299 Halloween””-299 Holiday”¦.The Cost for the T-99 is $150 Per Bottle. Limit of 2 per Person
- Caveat Emptor (only 100 available at ZF)
- Bret’s Eat $hit & Howl at the Moon – (signed by Bret – free @ CaJohn’s booth w/ password BWANA Bret Sent Me)
- Arizona Jack’s Death In The Desert Habanero Hot Sauce – ZF Special – INSANE DITD #1 is now on eBay
- Danny Cash ZF Special Sauce
- Mild to Wild Collectibles (Jim’s not talking)
- Loco Luna Lava Festival Reserve
- Nandos – Free item for those that mention the HSB
- Three Hot Tamales Toxic Tonic – Only 48 will be sold at ZF, signed and numbered for attendees. After ZF, you can get a bottle to eat from SNS (only after ZF)
- Danny Cash Collector’s Bottles: NOS & iHot – more information here
If I’ve missed any collectibles or if you have more information on them you would like to share, please drop me an email. And remember, when you are cruising the booths at the show, keep telling them the HSB sent you – you never know what sort of free stuff you’ll get!
Oh and if you are going from the HSB, please make sure you are on the roll call list – I’ll be setting up a special mailing list for all HSB attendees this weekend so we can all communicate during the event. If you’re not on the list, then you won’t be looped into all the party information!
Update: If you are unable to attend ZF but want to lay your hands on a collectible bottle without paying through the nose, contact me. I’ll be endeavoring to hook those HSBers up that can’t make it to the show with collectibles from the show, but please make any requests early – that way I can know what I need to look for. There will be no markup on these items for HSBers.

zzzz…. zz… Huhhhhh Someone say Free sauce 😀
Very nice Nick. Darn I wish I could make it.
Damnnnn….I want that T-99 so badly right about now…..wish i was goin to Zest Fest, damn University Tuition and geographical location 🙁
Hey huv, you’ve got a year – I wanna see FK special bottle listed here next time 😉
Hey pmac, this 3am is looking a little lonely without his other friends he left behind. Man that T-99 looks good. 😉
If you can’t make it to ZF I’m sure you’ll have a chance to get a T-99 for the astounding low price of say…$600 on ebay
[Comment ID #53626 Quote]
:O Wow, that’s astounding low!
[Comment ID #53626 Quote]
Only $600???? lol
[Comment ID #53634 Quote]
I did say low price didn’t I? 😛
[Comment ID #53626 Quote]
Awww ryan, you’d let it go for $550 😉
[Comment ID #53637 Quote]
That’s if I were to buy one, and in the unlikely event that I did, I wouldn’t sell it.
The DITD will be a RED DITD RED SAVINA sauce. Thanks gang, Jims charity auction is a hit I see. If a HSB’r wins it, I will also throw in a POUND of our Awesome Hab jerky !!! You folks here RULE !!!
Wow Nick thanks for thinking of the people who can’t make it, I know I’m at the bottom of the pole but what every falls to the bottom I’m up for the buying.
Well…there goes Isabellas spring wardrobe
I told Brian i would sign the bottles but he said he wanted them to be worth something….ouch
[Comment ID #53642 Quote]
WOW!! 3 days to go and already over 100 bucks!! Great job!
Right on Tracy, I can’t wait to give Jim the $$$, this is awesome !!
[Comment ID #53719 Quote]
Oh come on eman… you know you can sign anything you want! You are part of the crew!
I am gonna have to win that bottle just to get the jerky!
Just read your update Nick – you the man……
I’ve literally just finished the new labals just for the red DITD series. I’m liking it but need to hear from the boss… aka Jack. I think you’ll dig it, definately something different.
Jim C’s collectable(s) at ZF & Houston:
Stair Bear: My UnBEARable, with a fire helmet, on a hand made wooden stair case stand, signed, with date & info on the StepUp record. Due to a problem with the stair stand manufacturing, a VERY limited number will be at ZF. Less than 100 total.
Fatalii Bear (Fatality Bear, or the Timothy Treadwell Special): CaJohn’s Fatalii sauce in my Bear. Less than 75 total.
Astrology Sauce: Kind of self explanatory when you see it 😉 Closest thing I’ll ever get to off color humor. Less than 36 total.
None of these will be reproduced. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
Right on Jim, I’ll see you ASAP !!!! As you’ve seen this is going to be a great weekend !!!
OK – ZESTFEST TEASER
There WILL be Fat Kid Sauces at zest fest this year. Shipping out some Tuesday. Now how much to ship???? Hmmmmm.

[Comment ID #54627 Quote]
But it’s a really cool trick that Leroy and DK taught me on the short bus! 😈
[Comment ID #54629 Quote]
Short Bus to Big Bus upgrade almost complete. Only two more passengers to pick up and we’ll be stopping into the forums for the first look! Then it’s off to The Bog for a pre-ZF party!
This has been a lot of fun and work, hope you guys like it! Hopefully I will aquire the remaining pics soon and get this bad boy rolling!

Good God yes it was! Well you should be RELATIVELY free from harm at ZF.
[Comment ID #54699 Quote]
Perhaps, but be careful not to lull yourself into a false sense of security, for stranger things have happened (evil chuckle).
[Comment ID #54699 Quote]
never know, i’m sure there will be some hot samples i wont be able to ignore!
[Comment ID #54702 Quote]
that evil chuckle scares me creator! should i be afraid?
[Comment ID #54597 Quote]
Consider yourself hooked, sir! It seems I was a bit premature about the stair bear though 🙁 I’ll have the stand & hats, but not the bear for it. The bear is going to require a bit of a re-design to take the hats I bought for it :-/ Sorry for the trouble that causes anyone. I shall mail them at my expense just as soon as John gets them done.
The Red Savina batch turned out great folks, the ZF sauce is going to rock !!!
[Comment ID #54791 Quote]
Good to hear. I was using Jims fine Red Savina Mash today myself!
[Comment ID #54746 Quote]

Just Returned from Death Hq….I had to check the Flooding….As many of you know Death Hq is 1000 ft from the Atlantic Ocean..
[Comment ID #54812 Quote]
Hey Blair how’s everything? anything flooded?
YEP…..About 2 feet of water smashing into the front of our offices….Our warehouse is 5 feet higher so no problem….But We have a little water inside the office….I have seen iit worse though
[Comment ID #54814 Quote]
wow, that sucks, good luck. can’t imagine worst.

I will be on the blog for a bit….I cannot get to my email right now though
[Comment ID #54816 Quote]

Yes. I can talk to you about it on Tuesday if you want to call the office
[Comment ID #54818 Quote]

I was planning on annoucing how the T-99 will work on Tuesday..Maybe I should now…..Are there many Chiliheads on?????
[Comment ID #54820 Quote]
i dont think so, but you can tell me 🙂
or even e-mail me {Edit: NO EMAILS}
Well ..Why not we are all Family here….
[Comment ID #54820 Quote]
[Comment ID #54821 Quote]
I’m here, just workin on the bus. Hello Blair!
Hey DK…How Are you?
[Comment ID #54824 Quote]
Dry! that weather missed me here in upstate SC, but talked with TracyC today and he said they got it good in Wilmington. 2 ft water in his yard. Bummer to hear ’bout your office though.
T-99? Sorry didn’t mean to interupt! 😉
[Comment ID #54826 Quote]
don’t be interupting DK…
and Blair, I just realized, told you to e-mail me, after you told me you didn’t have access…lol dumb polack for ya
OK….So here is the Deal….All the T-99 are Finsihed…4 Different looking bottles…..25 Gold Topped, 25 Blue Topped, 25 Platinum Topped and 24 White topped. All have a 24k Gold Skull and a Hand engraved Brass number plate….Plus each label has Two coded messages that can only be complete with the TrilogySet. -Texas-halloween-Holiday—That is Part one
[Comment ID #54828 Quote]
. 😯
[Comment ID #54828 Quote]
very nice, you’re killing us here, with these different variations 🙂 can’t wait to see them though.
do we win something when we figure out the trillogy
Part 2—These Bottles are Massive 3 1/2 times the Size of a 2am Etc. I have great concern about shipping 99 Bottles to Texas (Breaking) Hours and Hours have gone into these bottles—Also With the added Airport issues my Chilipals would not be able to carryon these bottles…After lots of thinking I have decided not to send to Texas—–see Part 3
[Comment ID #54831 Quote]
i can pick them up and drive them…….to connecticut…..
[Comment ID #54829 Quote]
Blair’s on the bus! Heck, here’s the keys man! What’s my monitor say about it? 🙂
Awesome Blair! Just wish I could be at ZF! Wow!
Trade you a sneak peek at the bus for a sneak peek of a T-99! 😀
[Comment ID #54831 Quote]
Oh snap!
Part 3—-So here is the Deal—They will still only be available for purchase at the Texas Show. You will receive a voucher with your purchase after you fill out shipping info…Then Within 5 days after the show Every bottle will be packaged and shipped with the proper protection at no additional charge. I will have one of each style at the show for Display. I hope this plan makes everyone happy. I feel it is really in the very interest of my Chilipals. I would hate more than anything for you to purchase one of these very special bottles only to have it wrecked in your bags….Please let me know your thoughts
[Comment ID #54835 Quote]
that’s fair enough, i totally understandable…sending you an e-mail for when you get to it, thanx
Part 4—-I am typing this on a brand new Dell Monitor that sucks…so I cannot proof read…Waiting for a dell service call is slower than the release of my Firecracker 500
[Comment ID #54835 Quote]
Perfect Blair! I have wondered befor why nobody has done it before! And with the airlines the way they are now, it should be a godsend to not have to worry about it. Thanks Blair, and i’m not even going to be tere. 🙁
Sweet.
My screen is so Fuzzy it is unreal that I can even send an Email. F Dell FEEL ALIVE BLAIR
Thank you…Please Remember this does not change the fact that they are only available at the show. Just to be clear.
[Comment ID #54837 Quote]
. 😀
Maybe Dell needs to hire to Bret, I got mine quick as lightning! 🙂 I still can’t believe I won that thing. Great job with the FC’s Blair. Beautiful bottles. All of them.
Thanks DK..I had to Turn my monitor on its side to read your message…Kinda Funny I guess….
[Comment ID #54837 Quote]
no worries Blair, we like the slowness, adds to the intrique
On another note- We had planned our new site to launch Yesterday…..But still tweaking it…I cannot wait for everyone to see what has been going on…I have brought some wonderful new people to Blairs and have the best crew working with I could have ever hoped for. The site will have Bio’s on all 14 of my inner core crew that make what I do so much fun….Plus Our Entire new Company -Blair Labs Inc. Opening November 2006
[Comment ID #54847 Quote]
thanx, blair, looking forward to seeing it.
tell us about the new company while you’re here? lol
glad to get this time with you on the blog, wish there were more people on
[Comment ID #54847 Quote]
Can’t wait to see the site. Are you still gonna have the Collector’s Corner with all of the collections?
[Comment ID #54850 Quote]
dk, you like the collections? is yours in there?
[Comment ID #54852 Quote]
Yep, if Blair Keeps them, I’ll need to send in more pics. Have added quite a lot to it since then. It’s still not huge though.
Blair, whats the scoville on the T-99?
Ed
[Comment ID #54853 Quote]
that’s cool, will have to go see what you got there.
Of course we are keeping the Collectors corner. In fact it will be expanded with lots more….Letters From Chiliheads around the globe and lots of other fun stuff
Also, I got a card in the mail today saying the wing sauce is available, I havnt seen it on the web site yet…is it ready?
The T-99 has many layers…Rnaging from 480k on the base—then 1.6 mill—then 6.4 mill….Then 10 mill..Then I Sprinkled a Few Micro Grams of 16 Million Crystals on top. (Just for the Karma of it)
[Comment ID #54856 Quote]
I’m in there Blair, I’ll send in the new pics soon. Thanks.
[Comment ID #54854 Quote]
Straight to the jugular, nice! Do we REALLY want to know? WL, GM, DK all agree, Yep!
[Comment ID #54857 Quote]
yeah, looking forward to tryin that…
Hey Ed, My Wing Sauce Was finished bottled and done….I have to say everyone thought it was great I thought I could do better. We Trashed 200 cases of Wing Sauce. Not the First time I have done that…
I think the voucher and then shipping is a good idea, if you can’t carry it on it is in danger. I personaly would prefer to have it shipped later,
Ed
[Comment ID #54862 Quote]
what do you mean done? it was just those 200 cases? no more?
Sometimes when you go into production size amounts. Something changes……I loved the pre-production but when we made our first batch it just was missing something
200 cases damn, must have made a hell of a mess in the dumpster!
[Comment ID #54865 Quote]
got ya, was looking forward to tasting it anyway
The 200 cases was a Test Batch…..Like I said it happens…..I am remaking it .Should be out soon…..
[Comment ID #54865 Quote]
Right on Blair! Now I KNOW I can’t wait to try it! 🙂
Hey everyone- Just got home from work, always cool to see you on Blair. It will take me a minute to read up- carry on 🙂
Hey Vic
anything else on the radar for new products?
[Comment ID #54835 Quote]
Sounds great Blair! Great idea….
Hey, I can fix that PC of yours if needed……
Chilihead Ed, YES….1st Wing Sauce ( As you can see)….A mini 4 pack of the Heat Sauces in Early October. New Chip Flavor sometime in October. New SuperHot Before 2007. And the opening of Blair Labs. Something that has been in the works for almost 4 years
[Comment ID #54873 Quote]
you just want a sneak peak at the T-99
what’s up brother?
Will you have to have the same numbered reserve to complete the message?
[Comment ID #54874 Quote]
look forward to seein them all…
[Comment ID #54875 Quote]
YEP… I’ll drive over there right now with a new one. My office is right on the way. Its raining and real windy, but for a peak of the t-99 – i’m in. I could use some help with the install bigshow 😀
Thanks Huvason…I might take you up on it. If I do not throw it threw my office window first.. It is only 5 days old….You know Dell Customer Service
Hey Blair, I would have to agree with the comments above, the voucher system sounds good, Would be nice to take that bottle back to the hotel room that night and kiss all over it and hold it tight, but I guess that can always wait. 😉
Thanks for the info, I love having the inside scoop!
[Comment ID #54879 Quote]
LOL – I know it too well. We are dell resellers at work, and they wont even let us fix the stuff. Have to send their techs. Last time the guy came 6 times to fix a 5 minute probelm that I told them what it was – but they wouldnt listen and wouldnt send me the part. their tech had to fix it. Ho can you make any $$$ doing that?
[Comment ID #54874 Quote]
Can you give any more info on Blair Labs? Weapons grade hot sauce? 😉
Dudes,whats up….just catching up
[Comment ID #54878 Quote]
ill pick up, leaving the P O K E R game now….losing anyway

[Comment ID #54879 Quote]
If you need any help, let me know.
[Comment ID #54884 Quote]
Hey eman- Long time brother! How’s life at the eman compound!?!
Thanks Vic. I of course wanted everyone to be able to take their bottle home with them and believe me it would be easier than shipping 99 bottles around the country for free. But it would suck to get a call from a Chilipal after they got home from the show that their bottle broke from an Airline. So I am certain this is the best wayi
[Comment ID #54880 Quote]
Absense make the heart grow fonder Vic! 😉
EMAN—-HEY HEY
[Comment ID #54886 Quote]
that’s scares all the SB riders….
[Comment ID #54886 Quote]
I know this is a PG site, e-mail me and I tell you my thoughts I had about your sauce! LOL 😈
Any confirmed sightings of a 4 layer FC 500 yet? We are all waiting to see what it looks like!
Ed
[Comment ID #54892 Quote]
And it’s hard to scare SB riders!
[Comment ID #54889 Quote]
most definately, that would kill me, if they broke it, or opened it or just plain confiscated it….as for myself i’d be willing to pay the shipping too, for the added security, so feel free to charge me
[Comment ID #54890 Quote]
Look at it this way. It’ll be like going to a fashion show and meeting the model. Then winning a date with her and locking her in your basement! 😀 You still win dude! 😉
[Comment ID #54893 Quote]
OK… give me a minute.
[Comment ID #54890 Quote]
You’re right dude, Hey I got a special package yesterday!!!!!!!!WooHoo!!! Haven’t had a chance to dig in yet, but I will soon and I’ll let you know, thanks again man, you ROCK!!!
NO .This was my call…I will not charge anyone for shipping their bottle….Problem For us is….The Displays had been sent on the pallet.So Now We have to figure that situation out…These are Custom Jumbo Displays….Sent weeks ago..I made the call to not ship the bottles VIA UPS AIR on Firday….
[Comment ID #54888 Quote]
Just gearing up for ZF!!!!!!! You have no idea how excited we are!!!!
Whats going on over there??
Blair…whats up brotha?????
Sounds like life has not slowed down since last time we talked…now a flood????? What the f…???
Cant a man het a brake??
[Comment ID #54897 Quote]
Now that scares me
Eman, It is life….Ebb and Flow…..Great Things come out of tough times. You know
[Comment ID #54899 Quote]
Thanks Vic! Be sure to check the off-topic, Nick left some comments on my jerky there.
Hey Blair, trade ya some Gatorman Jerky for a T-99! 😉
I know, put peoples vouchers in the display box to take with them, Vic can take the box with the voucher back to his room and….
maybe you could put a picture of the reserve in the box too….
[Comment ID #54897 Quote]
“It puts the lotion on it’s skin and puts the lotion in the basket……”
That depends …Hows Your Jerky???? !!!!!!!
[Comment ID #54907 Quote]
It’s pretty darn good (nneds to be hotter though) – but EXCELLENT.
[Comment ID #54907 Quote]
It’s good, but I’ll be honest, it’s not T-99 good. Homemade stuff, not retail. Been having fun with it. If you want a laugh, click on my nickname to see the Gatorman jerky webpage. I will seriously send ya some if you want. This last batch was hot as heck, ask Nick he ate his today. Comments on it in the Off-topis thread.
[Comment ID #54908 Quote]
Huv, ask Nick about the new heat level. I did step it up this last batch!
[Comment ID #54905 Quote]
I can work with a picture……12 sec video clip……been there, done that 😉
Blair, I spent all day today smoking peppers for my own “special reserve” I will send you a bottle when it is all done,
Ed
So …No better group to ask than HSB. How Should I decide on who to offer the 4 bottles of T-99 that will be at the show. give me some ideas Please!
[Comment ID #54903 Quote]
That’s for dam sure. We are always here for you!
Looking forward to it Ed. What type of wood did you use?
[Comment ID #54913 Quote]
Bwana Bret Sent Me!!! Oh wait wrong booth… sorry. Got a little anxious.
[Comment ID #54905 Quote]
Ed, I think that’s a ctually a great idea. Not the Vic part of course.
[Comment ID #54913 Quote]
i’ll think of a number from 1 to a billion. If anyone guesses they get one. If no one guesses – I keep them.
[Comment ID #54916 Quote]
OH MY GOD….. OH MY GOD…. OH MY GOD!
[Comment ID #54913 Quote]
I know!!!!I know!!!! The people that have Blair as their middle name…..yeah thats it and I will help her…..ahem….i mean them hold the bottles
Hickory and Mulberry, I have a 5 gallon of red savina I am starting with, smoked habs, long joes, serranos, jalapenos, cherrys, anaheims and yellow bells….made a mash with them to add to it and a few secret ingredients. I am going to make 6 or 7 cases of 5 oz. woozies, 2 cases of 10 ounce woozies and 13 “special reserves” I got some 5 million to add to the special reserve! Then I am going to wax em up and sign em.
Thanks Eman—But Customers Filing Chapter 11 on me should be the worst problems ithat one has to deal with….Thats not the stuff that matters in the end……You know…Not to be criptic….ofr everyone else..In 17 years I had only 2 companies file Chapter 11 on me…..In the last month I had 3…..Big ones….F-it Move on and deal…..Life could be much much worse…That is the point.Simple enough.
[Comment ID #54913 Quote]
honestly, bring them back, although of course i would love to have them…all 4 of them…lol

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!when’s it coming????
well, the 4 should go to people who have driven, so they don’t have to worry about the airline crap….and you will have to wait untill the last day of the show to give em out, so everyone has a chance to see them.
[Comment ID #54926 Quote]
Dang, good guess man!!
[Comment ID #54913 Quote]
Gator Wrastlin. I’ll lend ya ‘ol Billy Joe Bob. Anyone that can pin him wins the gator and I get the T-99’s 😉
Seriously though Blair, How about some sort of skills contest. Not sure what, gator wrastlin’s all I know. Anybody?

Yes could be MUCH worse. In too many places right now there are people watching their children die and have no place to go…..all we have to do is get up from our computer and go into the next room to see a healthy sleeping child…..not trying to ruin the mood guys but as you can tell the eman’s priorities have changed since Isabella Blair..(hence the privious comment on blairs question)

Thats it, i am cancelling out plane tickets and renting a car….got …to…have….t….99
[Comment ID #54935 Quote]
i really like the voucher in the case idea….
So first of all you would have to determine who WANTS to take it and who will be able to pick it up at the end of the show….then some type of drawing or contest to pick the winner…
I know, entry into the drawing would be by consuming a quantity of Jersey death!
Where is pmac…he should be in on this
I know, everyone wearing a helmet should get one….you like that one Vic???

Morning gang ( noon here) , off to do some more HSRA for ZF, I’ll check back in a cpl hours. Any machinist here?I need a CNC 4 axis blender, lol.
[Comment ID #54913 Quote]
Here is a thought….pull out a five dollar bill, write down the serial number, have a jar by the booth that people put 5 dollars in after writing thier phone number / email on the bill, the person closest to the orginal 5 dollar bill’s serial number without going over wins all 4, with the proceeds going to charity.
Done blogging for awhile. Got to pack for the show & hit the road after some time at the FD. See you all there & sorry agan about NOT having the stair bears done in time. I’ll bring some pretty good ante for the ca rd game since I don’t know how to play 🙂
Later gang, off to the family BBQ, have a safe trip Jim, I’ll see ya at ZF
