I second Brobeck's. Their ribs were fantastic. Brisket was tender, moist, but flavorless.

I had a great time last year. Unfortunately, I'll be in Europe that weekend so I'm out. I'll definitely be thinking of all that great BBQ.

As an aside, I made a BBQ chicken pizza with the Jack Stacks BBQ sauce, and one of my guests who doesn't really like BBQ raved about the pizza, more specifically, the BBQ sauce on it.

I have my hotel booked. Airfare looks good now at $216 roundtrip, but I'll probably wait until after the holidays to lock that up. Possibility is high that I will be coming this year.

LOL. I'll be staying at the Sheraton Crown Center, by the way.

I'm a "maybe" for now. Possibly headed off to Cincinnati for a Reds/Derby/Flying Pig weekend. Will know by January or February. This event is always worth it, especially when it lands on a First Friday.

I stayed by the airport last time but in retrospect that wasn't a good idea (driving distance sucked). I'm going to look around and see where I can bunk up at.

This was fantastic last year; I'm so glad I went.

I'm in for 2014, and I have bought my plane ticket. I'm not sure about where I'm staying until the Q2 promotions filter in. I'll also have a car.

Please put me down as interested. It's a bit early to know what my plans are for that time.

I'm adding a +1 as the lovely Mrs. Mackie has decided to partake in smoked goodness with us.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it this year, but I've put it on my calendar in case things work themselves out.

Seems like this tips it from likely to mandatory.

Can't think of too many better places to spend my birthday than OK Joe's, so I'm in.

Will be nice to return to this one after a couple of years absence. Tickets booked.
