Yep, I got my ticket as well. Just me. Mrs E will stay at home. I'm not sure I'm going to ride the bike -- gotta get new tires.

BaconFest plans:

Moose and I will be in Kansas City Friday. We're going to stay out by Kansas City International Airport, and go to Cabela's in KCKS and the Outlaw Cigar Company (NW 64th Street, just west of I-29, KCMO) in the afternoon. Anyone in town on Friday is welcome to join us.

Saturday morning: If anyone wants  to meet us for breakfast, call me. We'll be at the Parisi Coffee Shop inside Union Station (30 W Pershing Rd, KCMO) at 11:00. That will give us all plenty of time to talk before the BaconFest begins at 2:00 PM.

After the Fest, Moose and I are going  to Fidel's Cigars in Westport, then to the Cheesecake Factory for his birthday. Again, all are welcome to join us.

Call me on my cell at any time- PM me if you don't have the number.

Got new tires on the bike now. It's a long haul to KC, though. No wind protection.  :couch:

I'm home from the BaconFest weekend. Moose and I had a great time.

On Friday, we hit Cabela's, had cigars at the Outlaw Cigar Company, then dinner at Swagat's, my favorite Indian restaurant in Kansas City. Moose had Indian food for the first time.


Chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, and garlic nan. Thumbs up!


We saw a sign on the lot next to our motel. Bacon is everywhere!


DumbAss Tanker met us before the Fest. It was great to talk to you, DAT.

The Festival itself was loud and crowded. We went outside and found some anti-bacon protestors.


Moose made a new friend.


PETArds were cute, but they smelled funny, as vegans do. Velvet wanted nothing to do with them.


Velvet and I found a spot out of the crush of bacon-loving humanity. Her eyes glowed with delight!

After a while, the noise and people took their toll on Velvet. We shook hands with DAT and went to the Country Club Plaza for dessert at Cheesecake Factory. When we got back to the motel, Velvet was exhausted.



The Festival was pretty good, and the weekend was great overall.

Looks like you had a good time.

Did you tell those PETA assholes it was for charity?

No, but we did ask each of them if they were drinking enough water. We were joyful warriors for our fellow carnivores everywhere.

I also told one of the smelly vegan guys, "Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder."

The smelly vegan gals had a dog tied to a tree. The dog didn't have water. They weren't treating that animal very ethically!

I hope, for the dog's sake, that you pointed that out--loudly.

I regret that my Baconfest ticket went to waste.

The money was well-spent, but the various things I had to do on Saturday took precedence over my ogling vegans and such.

A dog without water in that heat was criminal. The owner should have been rasterized (pun fully intended).

Big Dog and his son and, of course, Velvet went. I had a ticket, but I couldn't make it.

The dog was at least in the shade, leashed to a tree (About the only tree around), and Big Dog was very civil with the fruitbars, reminding them to give it some water without provoking them.
