Dinosaur BBQ @ an Engagement Party?? SWEET!!!

Hello Bloggers and Blog-ettes,

Things are hectic over here at flint studios. It's been an awesome year so far and somehow, it just keeps getting better!! I hope that you are all enjoying your summer as well.

When I first met with Nate & Estelle, they told me straight off that they needed a photographer who was willing to shoot a casual engagement party this summer in addition to their more traditional plans for an upcoming Wedding in May 2008. "A casual engagement party, huh?? What's on the menu??", I asked. I knew upon hearing their response that this was an engagement party not to be missed!! For those of you who are familiar, the Dinosaur BBQ is about the best BBQ that you can get in this neck of the woods. If you're ever in town, let me know, I WILL TAKE YOU...YOU WONT BE SORRY!! (I am silently hoping that some of you will respond with bbq joints from your towns that put the dino to shame. Are you out there Craig Davis, Andy Peterson, Mike Norwood?? Speak up!!.) As if that wasn't enough...Magic Hat #9 ROCKS!! Pretty perfect summertime beer. Pretty perfect summertime afternoon.

Thanks to the Weldon and Tickle families for being so gracious. To Estelle and Nate for entrusting me with you memories, and to Kelli Marsh who worked off every BBQ induced calorie by giving 152% of herself. I was going to say 147%, but the pulled pork and cornbread added an extra 5%!!!

We arrived hungry...fired up and hungry...The dogs smelled something good. Check out those tongues!!


mmmm...beer.
...wait for it...
YES!!!
after grub, it was out for some snaps with these righteous party planners.


Thanks again guys, it was a blast!!

So is anyone going to give me some leads on hot bbq joints?? I travel quite a bit these days and need to know what I need to know!!! Sound off!! ...oh, and if you want to subscribe...there's a fancy little 'subscribe' box along the upper right side of the page. Good times, i tell ya!!

Best,
