I must also state that in these parts a BBQ joint ain't 'sposed to be NEW & SHINY!!!!! It just ain't natural.
I think that's exactly what's wrong with the new one. Pawn Plaza is a high tech two story strip mall that appears to have been built out of multi color shipping containers. It just doesn't look like a proper BBQ joint.
That's what I've been saying!I find that passing every landmark along the way there just helps to build my anticipation... and my passenger's fear. It's a win-win for me.
I took a look at the one in "Pawn Plaza" and although it's new and shiny, I don't think it's an improvement. There's something about the journey through the valley of the shadow of death combined with the redemption of walking through the door and smelling the smoke of Heaven that really adds to the experience.
At this point, this thread title might need to be changed, since there is another thread with the original intent of this one before it fell down the rabbit hole!
Theatre Geek - you've got to treat yourself better. You will not regret it and no one ever said on their death bed "gee, I wish I hadn't taken so much time off". Think about this, please. I am on your side.Can't wait! Basically my only vacation every year.

I do believe that the list of all the places on the good side of the tracks says a lot about Vegas.The directions aren't difficult. You go out behind the Circus Circus to Battle Field Vegas, turn left and go past the Exotic Dancer Supply Stores, strip clubs, swingers clubs, and massage parlors. When you get to the Erotic Heritage Museum turn right and go to the bad side of the train tracks, turn right under the freeway and left into the parking lot BEFORE you reach the strip club. !
Maybe someday USITT will be in Fort Wayne, 2020 is still TBA, and every one can go and harass you at your workplace too!There's a great, award winning place here in Fort Wayne that I like, which should win an award just for its name, called Shigs In Pit. Went there the other day and it got me very excited for Rollin Smoke!
While that would be fun, it's highly unlikely it would ever happen. While I do think our convention center probably is big enough to house the show, the city isn't big or exciting enough. It would be very inexpensive though. Except for flights. The cost of flying in and out of Fort Wayne would more than make up for low housing and food costs. The airport isn't big enough to handle the traffic either, only four real gates.Maybe someday USITT will be in Fort Wayne, 2020 is still TBA, and every one can go and harass you at your workplace too!

Wow! You weren't kidding about the veer left at the last minute.To step it up next time you could go to the El Dorado Cantina. To get there just drive to the Sapphire strip club, park in their parking lot, get out and walk towards the entrance of the strip club, and veer left at the last minute towards the door with the Dia de los Muertos style skull painted around it. For obvious reasons everyone I know calls it stripper tacos, but they're actually really good.
