ok i check the "who's comming" portion of the eggfest on a daily basis.. that is how i know there are 10 people from my town comming (i know 6 of them)...

my question is if there are forum people who are going to be ther why are you not cooking?


this will be my first year cooking... last year i had a pretty good excuse (here you go fidel!! thanks max)

    Looks like you need someone out there with a size 13 shoe and give the people from your community a good kick to jump start them.
