I'm off to Boston tomorrow on a plane from PDX for annual Baconfest, a long-running MLK weekend party put on by an E2 buddy. From Boston I'll join a car with a buddy to Northeast Kingdom Vermont, off to the frozen cold to consume mass amounts of bacon, various flavors and kinds of alcohol, play games, and discuss all kinds of nonsense in the half-frozen smoking lodge in the garage attic library.
Great, multi-generational nerd family reunion, family entirely chosen on my part. JB, the hosting E2 buddy is part of a tiny IRC cabal I've been part of for a good decade now, and the regular gathering (save an errant, non-practicing Swede who refuses to deal with US border controls) is this party.
There used to be flamethrowers: we'll see if there are this year. For my part, I'm bringing half a case of fancier spirits for the cocktail bar.
The latest call out on the listserv is for bread knives. We'll see if this is the year of twenty incoming bread knives by the Baconfest folks.
Onwards, to the suitcase packing, and then to Vermont!
