Continuing from part 2, we had just gotten off the Jungle Jim’s monorail. It was time to wonder around some more. We ended up back at Defcon’s booth where he was handing out samples of his new product, Defcon ZERO Sludge on little glow sticks. Chem and I both tried it and like usual, John Dilley’s products never disappoint in the area of heat. We both had to sit down until the endorphin rush subsided.

Speaking of massively potent extracts, Crazy Uncle Jester was showing off his newly reformulated and more condensed extract, “The Jester”. It now comes in at a whopping 6 million SHU and comes in a beautifully laser etched vial.


A snazzy looking, laser etched, Jester.

From there, we followed Uncle Jester out to the event he was holding, a hot ice cream eating competition. Contestants had to gulp down a chunk of vanilla ice cream that was topped with spicy caramel and chocolate sauce with a spicy hard candy on top.


The brain freeze…errr…Ice Cream Contest.

After the competition, Jungle Jim himself made an appearance and Hot Wheel collector/famed Defcon Deathmatch champion, HUDD, was able to give him a custom made Hot Wheel that he made specifically for The Weekend of Fire. I too was a recipient of one and they are so professionally done. It was an honor to receive one for my hot sauce collection. Thanks, HUDD!

We had a few hours before the next competition so more sampling and wondering was to be had. I’ll leave you folks with some pics of the booths before continuing my next part which will be posted soon (hopefully)….up next, THE DEFCON DEATHMATCH!

It was great to finally meat the man behind Deno’s.
