Revenge of the Buns: Veggie Dog Eating Contest

Posted by: Stefanie on: July 7, 2009

Day 98: Veggie Hot Dog Eating Contest

Event: Revenge of the Buns: Veggie Dog Eating Contest
When: July 4th, 2009
Where: Tiniest Bar in Texas (Austin, Tx)

Only in Austin, Texas will you find an event that has Zombie Veggie Hotdogs, a man dressed as a unicorn, other crazy costumes, and the mandatory live music all on Independence Day! July 4th was the 3rd annual Revenge of the Buns: Veggie Dog Eating Contest and it was a freakin’ blast! (We could have done without the record breaking heat, but whatever.) This 4th of July, we wanted to do something new and exciting! That resulted in us having a new found hatred of Hot Dogs…

Anyways, contestants in a doubles team or singles had 10 minutes to eat as many veggie dogs their bodies could take. Our team ate a combined total of 9.5 or 10.5 hot dogs. We were a bit delirious and lost count but we know for sure it’s over 9 and a half veggie dogs! The winning team ate 28 while the solo winner ate 16. We never knew how much it took to eat so much! Because of this event, we declared we are never entering in another food eating competition. Ever.

The event was amazing but seriously; keep hot dogs away from us!

Gossamer 365: Days 83 & 84 Big Plans Edition

Posted by: Stefanie on: July 1, 2009

Day 83: LONDON?!
Day 83: Big Plans
We have major plans for the future. In exactly one year, we want to save enough to sign up for the student traveling abroad program to London! The trip includes several tours of the city, a day trip to Paris, and various other amazing things! Educationally, we are perfectly set up. Financially, not so much. We will be spending the year saving up. Don’t worry though! We still plan to go to as many events as possibly, just the free ones.

Day 83: A Penny Here and There
Day 84: Saving Up
We are saving EVERYTHING. We are beyond scared we will not be able to afford the trip. Every penny is important at this point.

We will have updates on our financial and educational progress over the next year.

Wish us luck!!
