Lately, I've been writing on topics completely outside of my comfort zone. A few weeks ago, I was asked to cover a BBQ. Now, most people would think, "Who would want to write for a BBQ? Why would a BBQ even need a writer? Is it really that interesting to write an entire story on?" But this opportunity wasn't for any regular BBQ.
This was the UABBQ, thrown by 21 men, all alum from the University at Albany. This year was the third installment of the consistently growing event filled with free food, liquor, music, goodies and beautiful people. Just 72 hours after posting the date, 1000 people sent in their RSVPs! Still, think it's a regular BBQ? Over the course of the last few weeks, I've conducted 21 interviews, written four articles and currently am preparing to post nearly 40 full interviews as a bonus to the final RECAP. But that's just behind the scenes.
What I can't fully describe is actually being in the middle of nearly 2000 people on a hot summer day with music, macaroni and cheese and memories that will last me a lifetime. It's something you just have to see for yourself.
