we will be gathering in HOTlanta. ..the ya-yas will be having their luncheon, hatching their plans for beating up on old max at the throwdown on saturday night, talking girly talk, sipping their tea and eating their crumpets and whatnot. ...the boys will be scarfing down chili dogs and frozen oranges at the varsity. ...then off to the various markets to buy provisions for saturday. ...
friday night the meet and greet. ...getting back together with old friends we maybe haven't seen since the last fest a year ago (or maybe another fest in another town) or maybe meeting a friend we've only communicated with through the forum here. ...
then the big day on saturday. ...200+ eggs cranking away with the most unbelievable smells and tastes of the best foods you've ever eaten in your life!!....if you can think of it, you can cook it on an egg, and chances are, someone will this day!!! . . . and 1600 of your best friends there to sample and share with you!! ...
then saturday night in the parking lot. ..possibly the best party of the year. .. ..
and lets see if we get a chain started right here right now and keep it going unbroken for the next twelve weeks with at least one picture a day from past eggtoberfests. ... i'll lead off with just a couple from last year's festivities. ..
friday night at the meet and greet with smokin todd, a couple of the jerky junkies and hayhonker
and last year's "team alaska"
two years ago, squeeze made a 10 pound hamburger that took up an entire large egg. ..last year it was this 6 foot steak and cheese sub ....what will he do this year?????

This IS trouble.. :laugh:
Not real sure why I took this shot... :evil:
Some people never give up.....All pics from Eggtoberfest 2007.....
BTW...I know the Varsity is a tradition however a few of us from the North Georgia Eggers group just went to Fox Bros. BBQ on DeKalb Ave in Atlanta. I had some of the best beef brisket ever...oh the cute waitress didn't hurt
But seriously anybody in town for the fest or otherwise give these guys a try...http://www.foxbrosbbq.com/index.html
btw, are you guys keeping your eyes out for that cougar roaming around college park??
Are you in Georgia? My wife has a son in Blue Ridge. I am trying to talk her into doing the Eggfest. It is only two hours north. Help me here. LOL

I am local here in the ATL and was raised not far from the Mother Ship. If anyone has any questions about the area and would like to shoot me an email I would be happy to help.

Also, I noticed your line above about the "ya-ya"s having tea & crumpets. If you are not familiar, there is "Mary' Mac's" tea room in midtown which is a true Atlanta landmark. Around the holiday's there is a line around the corner for their southern style turkey dressing. One might even run into Ted Turner & other local celebs who frequent.
I can't wait. Booked my room already. They are going fast they said. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Definitely gets me Eggcited about Eggfest. Not sure if the hunkies are going. They are dropping off like flies. See you in October. Sandra
happy eggin

You can have that white stuff! That's one of the main reasons I moved to Florida!!!! :cheer:
