Road trip to Salado from NOLA!
@Mickey - I'm equipped with some multi-media stuff like the giant ghetto blaster, MBP, projector. I plan on projecting embarrassing pictures that I've collected of certain forum members on the side of the inn. Should be quite exciting. For music, the sky is the limit, but we might start off with some Zamfir and his mighty pan-flute, then progress to some old-school Hanson.
We're just entering the nightmarish traffic in Baton Rouge (AKA "Red Stick").
Here are some pictures, I'll be sure to document a little more, as the terrain between here and San Antonio is extremely boring and it gives me something to do.

@ nolaegghead, What time will you be arriving in Salado? And where will you be staying? We will be staying at the Inn and this is sure shaping up to be a good time!! Weather is going to be perfect!!XL, Large, 2 Small's and Mini BGE Arlington Texas

@sancho65 - We're going to San Antonio today, crash at my mom's. On Friday we should get to Salado around 3PM, plus or minus an hour, depending on the lines at Specs. We have 2 rooms at the inn on Friday and 5 there on Sat. I'll be the guy with the giant ghetto blaster letting the air out of VI's Vespa tires so he stays an extra day. Looking forward to meeting y'all. SWMBO aka "fleurdelirious" will be trying to keep me from being arrested by the local 5-0.

Update - just rolled into Texas. And passed the Cecil Attkinson Toyota dealership. Made me think of Mickey. I hear Cecil is active on the Grill Dome forum.

I've made that drive a lot of times, and yes, it is boring. What I want to know is how you talked SWMBO intro driving so you could be on the computer?? I always get stuck with driving....despite promises to the contrary before every road trip!LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.

I realize all of you are normal, everyday good people, but I feel like attending the Salado Eggfest would be equivalent to attending a MLB fantasy baseball camp.
I look forward to the flood of posts and pictures from the upcoming weekend. Have fun, guys! Wish I could join you!

Sounds like a good time will be had by all. I wish I could be there. Y'all have fun and be safe.

@SaltySam. I think it will be more like someone loudly calling across the area; "VI get off you butt, your Vespa is on fire out in the field".Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

I believe debauchery would be a good one-word description. Sure wish I was going to be there. On my bucket list-at least til the post-fest documentation becomes viralLouisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I don't know if it'll be the case during this fest, but it seems like whenever there's a fest everyone get's so busy partying they don't post much....@CPARKTX - she loves driving and it's her brand new SUV...newness hasn't faded away yet.______________________________________________I love lamp..

If I bought my wife a new Beamer SUV she better shut up and drive.

Thanks @bccomstock
I'm still bummed about Jermon Bushrod.
We're 181 miles outside of San Antonio - still in this lousy Houston traffic.
I thought I saw VI on his Vespa, but it turned out to be a kid on a banana seat bike.
