National Capital Barbecue Battle
Over the weekend me and TheMom went to something else thats beginning to become an annual ritual of sorts. The National Capital Barbecue Battle. Now we have entirely different reasons for wanting to go. TheMom likes to walk around and look at the exhibits, get the free samples of everything they hand out and she adores anyplace we go that has a bunch of food vendors.

Now me on the other hand, the only reason I go every year is to see Saturday’s final act – The Godfather – Chuck Brown. Pre- TheMom I’d really shoot to arrive there right at start time to catch him going on stage then when he leaves I’m out too. I mean I get the best Barbecue in the DMV (Dc, MD, VA Area) on the regular (The Smoke Shack) so why play around with these local folks I’ve never heard of and out of town jokers who claim to have that fire only to disappoint me.

Anyway we head down a little early for her sake since she was getting restless at the house (Be on the lookout for an upcoming post called “The Perfect Saturday” where we both detail what the perfect Saturday consists of for us both. Believe me there is a big difference.) Missed the rain, walked around, ate a little bit, I got to enjoy Chuck (despite holding a disgruntled 2 year old that wanted to cut up during the entire performance) and we shared a good time.

    FYI… I tried to get my Re-Run on again this weekend but the tent he was performing in was so crowded I couldn’t get close enough. Oh well. next time.

    I feel your pain. The only reason I went was to see Chuck as well. Which was hard becasue my 2 year old wanted to stay on the moonbounce all evening and my sister was on the prowl for a kabob.

    MSKia – me and TheMom were highly upset after the bands that were playing when we came in could be heard halfway down Penn. Ave. but for some reason the soundman screwed up Chuck’s sound. That same audio you could hear down the street sounded muffled right outside of the tent. What a disappointment. If I didn’t know every song word for word I don’t know how that would have panned out.
