The Barbecue Battle was voted one of North America's TOP 100 Events for 1999 by The American Tourism Industry Association.
Here, in the shadow of the Nation's Capitol, tens of thousands of people witness barbecue teams and restaurants from around the country compete to win over $13,000 in cash and prizes and a chance to represent the Mid-Atlantic United States at the Barbecue World Championship, Memphis in May. Benefiting the Metropolitan Police Boys &: Girls Clubs &: DC Doubledutch, the Barbecue Battle celebrates the art of barbecue in a spirit of community, family and fun.

The above is from http://www.southfest.com/festivals/bbqbattle.shtml . I would have copied stuff from the official site at http://www.bbqdc.com but, for some reason, they decided to do most of their text as images instead of as actual text.
Other than a number of commercial characters (the Pillsbury Doughboy among them), I ran into Carol Schwartz (DC At-Large Councilmember) and saw two musical acts (Golden Story and Eric Scott) and Etan Thomas from the Washington Wizards (NBA).

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
