But, really, all you need to know are these two things:

1) I need to buy a real digital camera. This Treo camera is getting kind of sad.

2) Ed Brubaker, the Luna Brothers, my friend Rich and myself all got lost in the wilderness.

And suprisingly not at anyone's junk.

Brian, I see you guy's found your way to Dixie's. Excellent. Was Gene there to let people "meet the man"? And did you?

Brian and I might be pointing at a downed Luna brother, though. I'm not too sure.

We did. In fact, in that picture where we're pointing at the ground, we're picking somewhere for Rich to lie down and die during his post-Man experience.

Geez--did he sample more than a toothpick?? Please tell me he wasn't one of those arrogant types to think he was strong enough to handle a whole spoonful? I know a guy that actually ended up in the emergency room after a spoonful.

At the Mariners opener yesterday, the guy in front of me at line at Porters went to spoon an entire forkfull of the Man onto his sandwhich. All the guys working there tried to stop him, he just stood there with the deer in the headlights expression. I tried to stop him, saying "you soooo do not want to do that." He eventually compromised and reduced it to half a forkfull...still way too much, and I was left contemplating skipping the game to follow that guy so I could see the look on his face when he made the mistake of eating that.

hahahaha! That's awesome. I can almost guarantee he's spending his day in the bathroom working that through his system. Now, I'm a big pussy and have never been brave enough to meet the man, but all of the guys at work have met the man and it's a life changing event. Everytime we go to Dixie's for lunch, productivity at work diminishes greatly that afternoon because everyone is suffering a bad hangover from the sauce.

The food itself is just mediocre, but it's the sauce that just kills you and the reason everyone goes to the place. It's a Seattle/Eastside legend everyone must experience (or in my case, live vicariously).

We had this great BBQ joint in Issaquah called Wildfire, but it recently went out of business. Too bad because it was fucking awesome.

I actually thought it was quite tasty. Though I did have better ribs last summer in Georgia, these were so tender and tangy that I was pretty happy.

The Man is a truly special experience and one I suggest trying. We were actually discussing asking for more at one point -- then Rich discovered a molecule he had missed and began asking if there was a God and, if so, why He hated him.

It was more than a molecule. That dollop was at least flea-sized.

And God said no, there is no God, and that he hated me largely out of jealousy for my fine pointing skills.

I don't know what he's so jealous about, though. He seems to be doing a swell job of it.

Dixies I think is all about the ambience. Though I can't go back there for the horrible fear that it will be fetching my order that kills that poor old women working there.

Porters at the ball game though... the same food but it's elevated greatly by being some of the best food you're likely to get at a ball game, and by selling beer. I love drinking, but I seldomly drink quickly. Last year at a Mariners game I put just a bit too much Man on my sandwhich, and downed four large beers in the first inning. Most entertaining baseball game ever.

I didn't say it was bad, just not the best BBQ in the world. No question though it's all about the experience with "the man" and Gene is one cool dude. Damn good cornbread though. I have no squabbles whatsoever with the cornbread.
