My wife and I invested in The Ques Brother last year and this year, too. Unfortunately, she passed away 24 days ago. I still want to be there. Please email when and when our passes are distributed when that time comes.<br /> Thanks,<br /> Roger </p> http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/topic/team-planning-meeting#post-22 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:08:26 +0000 QN 22@http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/ <p>Greetings all, just wanted to pop in and wish you all good luck at Memphis in May this year. I'm afraid I will be breaking my streak; you won't have me as an onsite judge this year; I'm not judging at all this time. I am coming up to visit on Thursday and hope to be able to drop by your booth and say hello. I hope you move up two places in your shoulder finish this year. Just in case you don't remember, I'm the one onsite judge you have had to put up with for the last two years in a row. I was there for the 12th place and the 3rd place, too. Just leave Willie alone and let him do the same thing he did last year and see what happens. Good luck!</p> <p>Mark Delashaw<br /> QN </p> http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/topic/team-planning-meeting#post-21 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:42:25 +0000 Moody 21@http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/ <p>Chuck,<br /> Will there be another meeting with the entire group before set-up?

Same story bad economy, not in the budget, etc.<br /> So any ideas out there who might want to get involved? I am hoping for 3 or 4 sponsors that will participate on a smaller scale. </p> http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/topic/first-post#post-3 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:32:08 +0000 Chuck 3@http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/ <p>Nice work Otto! </p> http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/topic/miss-piggie-contest-now-memphis-piggie-idol#post-2 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:31:08 +0000 Chuck 2@http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/ <p>Only two or three teams have entered the Miss Piggie Contest the last couple of years, so this year MIM is trying something different. No-longer men dressing up and dancing like female pigs.</p> <p>Do we have any singers/entertainers on our team?? Sing a song that incorporates Chile and BBQ. This could be easy money $2500! Last year only two teams competed. Somebody should step up! </p> http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/topic/first-post#post-1 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:44:04 +0000 Otto 1@http://www.thequesbrothers.com/forum/ <p>Just testing the forum software out. </p>
