Win 2 Tickets to Baconfest

Bacon for breakfast? Hell yes.

VIP admission to Baconfest sold out long ago; so did general admission. But dear bacon lover, you can still score a pair of tickets to the big show coming to the UIC Forum April 2oth. However, it’s going to require a little creativity on your part.

 

All you need to do is tell me (or show me, in a short video, less than 2 minutes), why you think you deserve these tickets. Extra points for creativity, as in a haiku, poem or song; 50 extra bonus points if you express it in a video (let’s keep it clean folks).

 

Just submit your entry right here, in the COMMENTS section of this page, including any links to video you might have as well. Contest deadline is 5 p.m., April 1 (no joke). We’ll announce the winner right here at stevedolinsky.com on Friday, April 5

  1. I like to think of a world where bacon was a person, much more than friend or foe
    ‘Tis our beloved swine after all; an American treasure, not some average Joe
    With unmatchable strength, and charm to boot, he’d be the world’s protector
    A world where myths and legends exist; like a movie with no director
    Like a hero cut straight from a comic book, he’d fight evil when crime was hot
    Either a pig with powers of a man or a man with powers of a pig, it matters not
    He’d cherished by most, the icon that he is, though not all would be fun and games
    Plagued as a greasy devil, a fatty demon in disguise, only one could give such names
    Vegans would march forward, targeting him as public enemy number one
    Sides would be taken, wars would be fought, even after all he had done
    You see, a world with a hero isn’t always a plus
    Instead we were blessed with bacon the way it is, no need for all that fuss
    A silent savior, a comforter of taste buds. It’s the way it has to be
    ‘Cause a world without bacon at all? Well that’s just blasphemy!

  2. 6 Characters in Search of Pork

    siew yuk, Hot Doug’s, bak kut teh
    pancetta, pai kuat, pigs in blanket,
    some of the reasons why when swine
    flu was at it’s height, and I would see
    warnings about the end of the world –
    the abyss staring back and
    oinking, I would think to myself,
    mmm… bacon…

  3. Well, this is the video I made, and I made it clock in at exactly two minutes. I wreote the song earlier this week, recorded it in my basement, then my friends and I ran out early Saturday morning and filmed it… it is called “Can You Smell the Fryer?” and I hope you like it!!

  4. Almost certain bacon is 25% of my DNA composition…mother’s favorite food while pregnant with me…pig was my favorite animal growing up…my 6th sense is bacon detection….I sweat bacon grease (unfortunately)…any food provided from a pig taste awesome…..honestly I was made for baconfest!!!!!

  5. Ugh! Cannot believe I misread the contest deadline. Anyhow, here was what my submission would have been:
    I present to you, our 1year old daughter that is allergic to dairy. This allergy twists our arm to constantly feed her bacon to keep her from falling below the 5th percentile in weight. Needless to say, she loves bacon and so do we. Here’s to hoping you have an extra pair to give away as consolation ;).
