Once again, it's IWOCFest time. And once again, by popular demand, we're going back to where we celebrated Spring: Weber Grill! Because really, what says "Summer" more than barbecue? And nobody does BBQ better than Weber. BBQ ribs. BBQ chicken. They'll even supply the napkins!</p> <p>So come on down for the food, the fun and gettin' messy with your fellow freelancers. (Weather permitting, we may even take it outside on Weber's patio.)</p> <p>Summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime.
