Oh, and did we mention tix go on sale in T-minus 2hrs:50min.

And The Winner of the 48hr Bacon-poetry/song competition is:

BRIDGET FALLON for the following poem:

Hot Streaks

It aint made out of turkey, that aint natural

Keep the poultry in the pasture lookin pastoral

It aint pounded out of tofu or dried, dyed soy

Those processed freezer strips strip away all joy

It aint Canadian-just gonna call that out

As one more thing to feel sorry for them about

Bacon is pork belly, crisp and cured

The best part of breakfast, rest assured

Not limited, however, to those uses

It’s nearly impossible to find abuses

Go with the gut-it never leads you astray

In cupcakes, in ice cream, in peanut satay

If your food’s in a rut, there’s always one sure way

To juice up your weary S-A-L-I-V-A

So we gather to glut our appetites today

With bacon, real bacon, in so many a way!

Congratulations Bridget.  (Let me tell you all the competition was STIFF!!!)  Lot’s of great stuff came in.  This was my favorite.  Why?  Dunno, it really read aloud beautifully, (and in the words of W, “I’m the decider!”  I’ve no poetry-qualifications other than I have the password to this site, so non-winners take comfort.  You work was all fun.)  Some point soon, I’ll post a compilation of all the material we received – with due credit to all authors!  Thanks everyone for the submissions.  We’ll likely do one more fun contest as we ramp up closer to the event so stay tuned.  Maybe this next one will involve some form of on-line voting so it’s more democratic… maybe.  Meanwhile, Bridget, please be in touch!!

Ok two and a  half hours from tix going on sale.  I’m NERVOUS!!
