We encourage everyone who can make it to come out and show your support for animals in need.  The proceeds will help spay, neuter, and vaccinate many dogs all looking for good "forever homes".  You will even have the opportunity to meet some of these wonderful dogs and maybe even adopt and bring one into your family. Through no choice of their own, these animals were put into circumstances beyond their control, whether lost, abandoned, turned over due to difficult economic times, or just not wanted, they have found themselves calling these amazing "No-Kill" animal shelters "home" while they anxiously await their "forever family" to find them! 
We all know that these shelters would not exist if it weren't for the generosity of others to help support and fund them, not to mention the selfless sacrifice of the "angels" who dedicate their lives to helping these animals.  This is our opportunity to give back and help support their efforts, so let us not be the only ones who show we care - Come out and support them - tickets will be raffled off for some fine tattoo work, we will be serving up some fantastic barbecue, and you'll have an opportunity to meet some great people (and animals!)  This effort is dear to our hearts and we hope you feel the same, so we look forward to seeing everyone on November 20th at Planet Ink Tattoo located at 2500 Cobb Pkwy, Ste A3,Kennesaw, GA (for those of you who are familiar with Kennesaw it is in the Olde Town Grill/Goodwill Shopping Center.)  Visit us on our facebook page at Pit Bulls "Up In Smoke" for more information on the event!  Oh, and we are also looking for sponsors...anyone interested please contact Danny Coogle for more information!

Talladega, the name says it all!  DegaQue, synonymous with Talladega...The "King of the Pit" barbecue competition was fantastic - what a showing with some top teams across the country!  We had the privilege of competing against the best of the best this past weekend and what a time it was.  Congratulations to all the teams who competed - especially the top 20!  It was an adrenaline rush with the sounds of racecars and trucks flying around the speedway, engines roaring, while we cooked some hard-core barbecue not far away.  Action on the track...action outside of the track...crazy competition both on and off the speedway.  Having pulled of 15th Overall at our 1st event outside of Georgia made us proud.  Taking 3rd Place in Ribs (beating out the "Godfather of Ribs", Johnny Trigg) sent us reeling out of our skin!  Meeting new BBQ brethren, cooking for the Moore's Marinade team, Kenny Schrader and his team, and once again making some great friends in the process was just great.  Thanks to everyone who took the time to come out and support a great competition!  Job well done to all...
