today march 7 2009 was our first broadcast of our little bbq show called pittalk.
many thanks to ustream.tv for use of there site. free is good. our first show
was filmed at the Houston Livestock & Rodeo bbq contest. many thanks to mr. Tom
Donahue of the Bellaire Boys Smokin' Team for inviting us in and letting us film
while they where cooking for the competition. i have contacted him since filming
and he has invited us down for next years contest to possibly work in the pits and
learn even more of what real texas bbq is all about. havin fun.
the last 6 months of observing and being part of social and professional broadcasting
has made me many new friends and taught me many new life's lessons. all have been
worth every penny. i hope i can pass these off to my friends and family. like the old saying, " you find out who your real friends are when they visit you in the hospital."
many shows and bbq fun in the future. number 1 is in the books.

Sweet weekend. Friday afternoon meet Mr. Daniel of Daniels Meat Market.
He also lives about 10 houses down from us. Told him about our little bbq show,

at his business, and also discussed possibly bringing my pit and selling bbq
in his parking lot. SWEET!!! Brewed up sauce and sending out bottles all over

a fresh brewed bottle of sweet&spicy #4. Also Pitt won the Super Bowl.
Sweet Weekend. PITTALK will air Saturday's at noon cst. Fun weekend.

a day@the shed...
the more i research "the shed bbq", the more respect i have for the owner brad orrison. marketing has its place. a very important place. i've grown as a person and as a rookie entrepreneur.i see and judge the way he runs his business. some things i believe he does perfectly. some things i would change in a heartbeat. but at the end of the day, he is the boss and i am not there yet. but i'm staying super positive by always ending my postings by writing a line out of the "Godfather". {we're getting there pop's. we're getting there.} many thanks mr. orrison.
for some reason the good lord has steered me in your direction.
