    @tarheelmatt, gonna need better pictures than the crap you posted earlier!  Could you get a pro who knows how to take photos?  Also, need confirmation on the petting zoo or the KY contingent is out.
    So seriously, this is shaping up to be a great get together!  Despite the allegiance to a false god.  I'll be there, so long as you promise the petting zoo. Thanks also to @johninCarolina for helping make this happen.  I look forward to meeting you losers.  April, will be telling ;)

    Looks like about an 8 hour drive. That's do-able. 
    Should be a pretty easy drive.  
    81 to 77 through Va and nc. Really some of the best interstate on the east coast. Just plan meals as there's NO good gas stations or fast food!
    Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

    I used my phone to take these. I knew those backwoods KY folks would struggle loading the page with a 56k modem and dial up.

    I hate my damn dial up Matt!  I think my modem is 23K.  If you could get some PROFFESSIONAL  photos me and my crew might come over to the event you losers propose.  Kinda like entering the 9th ring of Dante's Inferno, kinda!  Thanks Little guy!

    I think the UK, UNC, Duke guys should compete for who can bring the largest quantity of high dollar liquor and beer. I'll help judge.

    Brother @theyolksonyou, I agree!  Those cheating Dukeis and NC pussies don't know Jack Sihlt about fine bourbon, much less beer and wine.  Judges must pay $200 of course!

    If you come, professional photos will be taken and distributed (note only people, no poses (especially those sexual poses with goats for KY folks)).

    Thanks Jason! I'd be like a legless man in an ass kicking contest.  I cannot compete with Nip/Tuck and Dr. Peabody.

    We have been to a decent amount of fests. Like the majority of people but there have been some just decent encounters. Lots of old people with eggs for some people.

    This is different though.. It's a blast instead.  The way it's shaping up, some of the interesting characters are showing up. 

    The clown car from KY should be rolling in too!

    Please don't cook a goat @tarheelmatt, in Kentucky we prefer beef, lamb and seafood.  If you need to cook a goat to make Northcarolinians comfortable, please do.  On that point, you should bring some opossum and pigeon.  We'll try our best not to make you feel inferior.  You're welcome. =)

    Can I drive the clown car?  I passed my drivers test the 7th time.  Cost my mother some fine teeth.

    If I'm not working I will be there.

    This would be a challenge for me to get to from Texas, but @Eggcelsior, is there any chance you could drive my son down?  If you could do that there is a slim possibility that my wife and I could make it. 

    It sounds like you guys could use a Duke grad to keep @bgebrent in line.  Of course, if the KY jelly boys are fresh off a hoops championship even that won't be enough.  In that case we might need to import some UCLA fans so they can point out that 11 national championships are more than however many KY claims to have. (KY's first two "championships" came in an era when many considered the NIT the real national championship)

    Nola's better half said we should have called this event "Burning Loin."  Maybe next time...
