On the last day of Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas, we got together with some fellow bloggers and affiliate marketers at Rub BBQ. I was looking forward to trying this place out to see how it compared to the Memphis Blue in Vancouver. The answer is it didn’t compare. As as matter of fact, it wasn’t even close. However, that was OK because we were there to rub elbows and not BBQ.

Our group was so big that the restaurant needed two tables to seat us. The BBQ was a great place to meet new friends and catch up with old ones. Everyone had a great time and we’re looking forward to doing it again.

The real value of the Affiliate Summit is not the conference or the show itself. The true value of the show is in its relationship building aspect. I place a very high value on relationships and it’s the number one reason I attend industry trade shows.

The Attendees

Paul Bourque of Uber Affiliate, the team from AffSpy, myself and Greg Morgan. Mr Gary Lee tried to get into the pic as well. He was partly successful.

Mr. Gary Lee, Danny Chang, Mark Wielgus from 45n5, Ian Fernando, Ms. Danielle, Andrew Wee, Reena and Zac Johnson.

The Rub BBQ Chopper

You got to love a chopper with a BBQ sidecar! However, I think it’s kinda hard to ride without a seat.

Mmmm, BBQ!

    I used to love BBQ, but since I became a 90% vegan a few years ago all that meat isn’t that appealing any longer.

    I just want the grill. BYOM (bring your own meat) and let’s build the relationships.

    That’s what I spend a great deal of my time doing at church - helping create environments for people to get connected. Then trying to reconnect the church into the community to develop its relationships there.

    It works the same for business. Great looking food..I mean great post. :grin:

    like JC said . . the food wasn’t spectacular even though NY Times and USA Today said it was one of the Top 10 BBQ places in the country . . . I already know of 2 places in SoCal better than this place . . . no matter though . . good times and good talks . . . just the drive back to Hell-A was a nightmare!

    Affspy should really change their logos. From far away, it looks like “OFFSPY”. It even looks like that in the pic, but probably because I’ve never heard of them before. I’m sure others are the same.

    John –the BBQ looked good and so does the group. We did not get a chance to meet at ASW08, but it looks like we know some of the same people. Good post - Great Pics - Let’s meet up next time around.

    I have to say, and not only should y’all take note but also anyone who owns or does advertising for restaurants: pictures of food never come close to looking as good as the real thing. There are only 2 things that don’t make me want to gag: the garlic bread in pic#2 and the pickles in pic#3. So if you’re marketing cooked food, don’t show pictures of it if you want people to buy it.

    Otherwise, wish I was there too.

    Looks like a very nice friendly group of people to rub elbows with. I’m glad you had a great time, a great feast and thanks for sharing the pictures.

    That chopper is crazy cool!

    I’m getting hungry looking at that food though. You just had to post those now didn’t you. Please tell me that wasn’t all just for you. :lol:
