If there are any BBQ lovers out there, I would suggest visiting Dreamland BBQ while you are in town! It is awesome. The first Dreamland was in Tuscaloosa but now there are restaurants in Birmingham, Huntsville, and Montgomery that I know of. The Birmingham spot is located at the southern edge of the UAB campus on the slope under the Vulcan Statue. Seems like it near 14th St or Ave. Surely some hometown Mach owners can help me out here.

I agree on pretty much all you said regarding the show and site. As far as the BBQ thing, a number of us went to a place right off the Interstate in Irondale, literally two minutes from where we stayed, for some good local BBQ. Dave or Tammy can proably tell you the name of the place.
We had a Dreamland locally, but it did not last long. The food was average, and it was not in a great location. There's a Corky's here, and I don't know how it survives on what it serves. The local favorite (here) is called Voo-Doo BBQ, and it rocks. If any of you are ever in the area, we'll meet up there fo rthe good stuff.
