Hopefully the weather-guys didn't flip the coin correctly this time=20 (weather.com says, "isolated T-storms, 81H, 66L). Rain or shine though, th= e=20 ribfest will go on. RIBFEST IV Mike Paradise produced an unparalleled performance last year managing to=20 dominate the lowest ranking of all the contestants by a considerable margin= =20 for the second year in a row! Additionally, the judges showed tremendous= =20 wisdom picking the winner. However, the nagging question remains; how good= =20 does the perfect rib taste? Thus, as the artist must pursue beauty, the=20 fourth annual celebration of the Baby Back Rib must take place. =20 This event involves many of the things you need for a perfect weekend day:= =20 eating a lot of ribs, imbibing libations, enjoying an autumn day, and=20 watching some football. This year, the contestants will be cooking an absu= rd=20 amount of ribs, allowing the crowd to voice their opinion on the "people's= =20 choice" along with the official judging of the champion. Cooking technique= s=20 are hotly debated, and the insults are legion, but within a month, most=20 people are able to speak to each other again. =20 If you think you=01,re going to make it please call Greg or Martha (713)=20 861-2766, we need to know how much to stock up on. Kids are definitely=20 welcome, we are renting an inflatable moon-walk, and we'll have someone the= re=20 to help watch the kids. Details: Date: Saturday, Nov 4, 2000 Time: We start the grills around 12:00, the first judging will occur aroun= d=20 3:30. Most people don't have the emotional wherewithal (myself especially)= =20 to make it much past 7:30. Where: 1443 N. Oxford Street (in the Heights)=20 From I10=20 If you are coming from the West and driving East, exit at Studemont. Take= a=20 left at Studemont heading north, and take it up to 14th street (there=01,s = a=20 Fiesta Grocery on the corner). Turn left on 14th. The first street you ca= n=20 make a right is Oxford. Turn right on Oxford, one block up, we=01,re the s= econd=20 to the last house on your left. From the inner-loop: Get on Montrose and head North. As you cross under I10, Montrose changes = to=20 Studemont then to Studewood. Keep heading North until you get to 14th Stre= et=20 (there=01,s a Fiesta Grocery on the corner). Turn left on 14th.
