As some of you are well aware, Brett Mickelson a co-worker of mine, organized a party last night to celebrate our first attempt at smoking a couple of cow heads. Tacos were made, eye balls were eaten and a good time was had by all.

It’s the only party I’ve ever attended where I was specifically instructed to bring a meat cleaver — and it was a good thing too because cracking those skulls wasn’t easy.

Bobby Q’s in Westport was instrumental in this whole process, as they kindly took us in and smoked the cow heads for us. If you think about it, it’s a little bit amazing that a couple of complete strangers carrying cow heads walked in during their dinner service on a Friday night and they didn’t kick us out of their restaurant. But more on that later. (Big ups for coming through in the clutch for us!)

The LBC is working on a video, but I have lot of footage an it’s going to take me a while to produce it, so for now, here’s an intro:
