Wow. Absolutely amazing. Is it really that time again? Hold on, I’ve got my calendar right here. Yep. There it is. We are only a few days away from this years Weekend of Fire at Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I thought I’d do a quick little post informing those who are not in the know about this glorious event! It’s basically a two day, whirlwind convention of capsaicin filled goodness starting Saturday July 31, 2010 (10AM-7PM) and ending Sunday August 1, 2010 (11AM-5PM) in the Oscar Events Center at JJ’s. I’ve heard that up to 75 vendors are going to be in attendance this year and they’ve stepped up the contests people can enter. From a Spicy Ice Cream contest, to a Horseradish eating contest, all the way down to the ultimate in tongue punishing debauchery that is the Defcon Deathmatch. The Weekend of Fire is where it’s at!

The Bloggers Booth is going to be there again this year and representing The Hot Zone Online will be the following folks:


Site so-owner, writer, and all around Tiquila geek, Joe Levinson.


Site editor, writer, and all around Beer geek, Jonathan Passow.


And giving a unique prospective of the event, Passow trained chili-head, Eric Chm will be watching it all go down.

So, we all hope to see you there this weekend and if you see us, toss us a beer. We’re a thirsty bunch ya know.
