!!!
We may have secured lab-grown, cultured salmon in incredibly limited quantities for tasting at #ToxicBBQ.
No promises, and the company backed out last year, but that are pretty sure their supplies are robust enough to offer it this year.
What a turnout! We think we saw over 900 of you, and that blows my mind. Here are the stats for #ToxicBBQ 2025:
810 burgers (+80 meatless)
500 dogs
100lbs tomatoes, onion, lettuce
40lb grapes, corn, other veg
4 dogs
1 vole
+Peppercon, Hot Ones flights, Cheesecon and a fuel pump repair on site!
Line for #ToxicBBQ is pretty long tonight…
If anyone’s going to #ToxicBBQ tonight, I’d really appreciate some help with my Arduino code for my hat.
Join the humans of Vegas at the next inCARNEtion of your Thursday welcome party. Enjoy fewer walls and more garden as we meet AFK in Sunset Park.
Flyers at Info Booth after Linecon, or watch #ToxicBBQ on socials. toxicbbq.org for info.

A lemon verbena and lemon drop cocktail showcasing the slightly green simple syrup, a cocktail in a sugared rimmed martini glass, and the book “The Drunken Botanist”. Displayed on my home bar.
Two laser projects: one for #ToxicBBQ, one zippo case from templates that came out alright. Put some wheels on my saw, and infused some simple with home-grown Lemon Verbena to make this Lemon Drop cocktail even more fragrant.

Every cut smelled like wine! Engraving was not in focus because I’m a dingus. Dark side is the burned barrel interior.
Join us for #ToxicBBQ on Thursday, but otherwise very yes.
