Xangan & Bacon Festival
Sooo Sunday I got to have a very mini Xanga meetup with @onestepcloserto_perfection!!! Molly is the only Xangan so far I have met in real life and Sunday was actually the second time I got to see her!
Molly had asked me a couple of weeks ago what I was doing June 8th and I told her that I wasn’t up to much but that she should come down on Sunday the 9th because Richmond was having it’s first ever bacon festival (well bacon and beer festival but mostly bacon). Molly came by and we hung out for a bit at the house and introduced her to all the critters. Scully was by far the most excited
After hanging out for a bit we decided to head downtown and check out the festivities and OH MY GOD Richmond was totally not ready for the people’s love of bacon. HOW COULD YOU BE SO FRAKING STUPID, RICHMOND? IT’S GODDAMN BACON!
Apparently, after checking around, the venders were only expecting 5-6K people to show up, max… 17,000 people were there that day. There were 20 different venders and a few bands and a lot of beer packed into the tiny 17th St Farmer’s Market. There were crazy lines EVERYWHERE. One vender had a line that was at least 50yds long and everyone was lining up for blocks and blocks. It was a free entry festival but you had to either buy passes for the food or just buy the food and beer once you reached the vender tent. We didn’t end up actually getting anything because it would have taken all day (although I will say that the coffee coated bacon s’mores sounded like an orgasm of epic proportions… I should have just swiped one when I was close enough to nab it).
Since the Bacon Festival was a clusterfuck (basically, literally) we decided to take Molly to our favourite burger joint, Burger Bach (pronounced like “batch” not like the composer whose name is spelled the same). They have the best burgers and fries I’ve ever had (and I can actually eat them, which is amazing since I can’t eat any fries anywhere else because of the fat content and my lacking of gallbladder).
After we were done inducing a food coma we went back to my place and took Scully to a park right up the street from us that we had never been to but was dog friendly (I was actually under the impression they had an off-leash site for dogs but apparently that is another park). It was really fun getting to walk and explore and try to wear the puppy out (didn’t happen lol). After a while Molly had to head back up north. BUT YOU BETTER STAY IN CONTACT WITH MEH! Even if this place goes under, which I hope it doesn’t!!!So yeah, it was a pretty epically great Sunday, even if Richmond embarrassed itself in front of new people

Sweet! I’m jealous.
Holy crap… Crazy amount of bacon lovers!
Coffee coated bacon s’mores? The first and last part sound delish, but throw in bacon, coated at that, and I think I’m gonna hurl!!! LOL I like bacon, well, I don’t hate it, but not ????? whatever that is with s’mores and such. lol
I suppose with the way you described it that you should marry a pig farmer dear, that way you could have all the epic orgasms a girl could possibly endure. hehehe
Good thing you explained the “Bach” place. I was pronouncing it like that composer dude. LOL Glad you were able to hang out with Molly, she sounds great. I mean, if she liked bacon as much as you do, then, hell, you’re set girl. LOL Uhhhmmmm, ok, don’t think that now, I just meant . . . UGH, *backed into corner* FIGHT OR FLIGHT, SHIT!!!!
Ok, I’m done. whew, that was close.
there’s a way to save xanga. Just pair it with Bacon. Genius!!!
@olwd - I don’t like bacon. :p But I sure as heck love beer! And Meg’s totally smokin. So. ^_-
That burger was so fucking amazing. Even after I reheated my leftovers for lunch yesterday. I need to live in Richmond. Or Burger Bach needs to expand. Soon. Before November. To DC specifically.
Of course we’ll stay in touch yo!
@onestepcloserto_perfection – I hear ya on the smoking part. Hehehe
