Vince and I are heading to a chilli cook-off here in Virginia hosted by the local Barbara Bush Club. Vince makes some great chilli, and the proceeds from the event go to local charity. The Barbara Bush Club is a community service club made up of retired Republican women. Last night, over cocktails, Vince thought the event needed some spice. So, this morning, he whipped up a huge batch of chilli. Not only are we raising money for a good cause, we're competing against some stiff competition. It would be great if a couple of gay guys won. Wish us luck!
UPDATE: 5:26PM
Despite there really being no third place award, we were happy to find out that if there was, our "Virginia Jackass" recipe would have gotten it. The three panel judge made their decisions based on blind samples. The People's Choice went to "Tennessee Sippin'," an award winning recipe that included Jack Daniels. We were known as the notorious Democrats whose recipes promised "to put the heat on" our fellow Republicans. As a nice gesture, Netmender, the company with whom we recently merged our tech business, wrote a $100 check to the Barbara Bush Republican Women. We were so hoping to steal tomorrow's headlines with a victory, but we'll settle for a win in November!
