I'm making a movie

Most of our regular readers know that I have been in production on a documentary project since August '08.  This week is a big week for our production as we are filming a few of our key dramatic scenes at Sundance Studios here in Greenwood.  This has involved casting, lighting, props, costumes, extras, etc. and I am excited to see it all come together.  

Because of this, I will be away from Blogging Mission Control for several days including our regularly scheduled caption contest day.   Please feel free to scroll through the archives at your leisure.  I shall return shortly.  

Thank you,

The Management

The Swell Guy - BBQ Jedi Master

This photo is on the front page of our local paper this morning. The gentlemen in the red shirt is Charles Fretwell. He taught a two hour "Art of Barbeque" class yesterday at the Arts Center in uptown Greenwood at the Federal Building. The guy at the end of the table staring intently is my buddy Zig also known as the Swell Guy.

The class leads to the big KCBS BBQ cookoff in conjunction with the Festival of Discovery taking place in Greenwood next week. My friends Dennis and Debbie Dill who make-up the award winning BBQ cooking team known as Divine Smoke will be participating once again. This year Food Network will be here filming their Food Network Challenge following the Divine Smoke team around along with three other teams. It should be an exciting competition.

Zig, the host of Sauce Wars, is already a BBQ master in my book so attending a class such as this will only push him over the top to some sort of BBQ Jedi Master.
