Well, this was a new idea hatching from the minds of the Defcon Creator, as well as Chip Hearn at Peppers, in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Nothing like a full-scale tailgate party with a bunch of hot sauce manufacturers. Let's just say it looks like we'll be doing it again next year as well.

The brains behind the idea. Scary, huh?

Even the wackos from www.spicyrv.com showed up. Man, they'll let anybody in here.

Captain Thom cookin' up some Sloppy Thom's. A definite hit that day!

Our good friend's from Heartbreaking Dawns made a great showing, and had a bunch of fun as well. It really was hard not to.

Now, this is what we in the industry call a major chilehead! Don't know what it is, keep eating hot food, it will come to you.

A very good turnout. You never know what to expect with a 1st annual event. But as they say, "If you have it, they will come". They did.

And for those that couldn't deal with the heat, we took a 'green' route to their disposal.
