The BME BBQ.  A time honored event in which the greatest minds of our generation come together to chat about the ails of the world, the possible solutions to all of life’s problems, all while enjoying the finest foods and beverages known to man.  Animals on the verge of extinction willingly give themselves up to be served to these individuals, while monks from an ancient sect pass out 200 year old wine to be sipped from glasses made of diamonds.  These monks, being both deaf and blind, and having taken a vow of silence are the only ones permitted to near these individuals as their discussions can alter the fabric of reality as we know it.

Recently, at a secret gathering of these minds in Southern California, a small number of photographers managed to slip past the ring of security (a wall of 8 foot tall men, all the direct descendants of the vikings), and capture these images.  I’d like to ask for a brief moment of silence for these brave men and women, as once the images were transmitted out, a small tactical warhead was launched, killing them all instantly.

Thanks to their sacrifice, we are able to now see what until this time was only a legend.  For security purposes, I need to place the images behind a click through, as the contents of them may shatter your entire world view.

So there is a slight chance I may have embellished the story just a little.  So while the vikings and the monks may not be there, there are a great bunch of people having a fun time in the park.

These pictures in particular come from the most recent SoCal BME BBQ.  From what I understand the SoCal guys and gals get together pretty often for things like this, as you can see in their own gallery on BME.

Ever thought about hitting up a BBQ or other get together, but didn’t know where to find out when and where there might be one?  Well look no further, the IAM.BMEzine.com event listing is the best place to look for events going on near you.  Taking a quick look, it seems that on September 10th, the SoCal gang is getting together for another gathering, head on over to the listing to get all the details.
