I actually opted just for the pulled pork, which was awesome..also made my own special bbq shrimp using some memphis flavor. Yeah, it got pretty crazy near me also, I didn't go out but could hear the screaming... lucky for you, Jess told me her, Mary and Judith did "girl" stuff...
I tried emailing my sister, I know she;s in Europe until Thursday (??). Anyway, it bounced back once, I may be having a little superbowl party if you guys want to come...will probably order some Memphis BBQ...
... to be honest...: I rather prefer the saxophon tracks here... they are great! ... but respect for being such a open musician in all these directions.
