Hokey dokey! Now let's see if I can home in on the right Festival. I tried dimension hopping over before, but the only Festival I found was the big one on Glik!iu Prime (I think I transcribed that properly). It culminates in the Great Gastropod Race. Took the winner three Earth days to finish the fifty-yard dash (personally, I think he might have been on their equivalent of steroids). Took me only half an Earth day to see the whole dang five-week Festival (remember, there are temporal dimensions as well).
Any ways, even if by some whimsy of the Web of Fate, I do manage to get to the Grandville Days Festival, how are any of you going to know I'm there? None of you, not even the Illustrious Cartoonist, know what I look like. I haven't published anywhere yet and I still have not gotten onto Yerf. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.gif"> (Speaking of which, thanks for your old Yerf submission that explained how to color pictures with color pencils. The kangaroo rat I tried that on first came out with wonderful fur coloring and lovely eyes.)------------------
TARDIS EXPRESS - When it absolutely, positively needs to be there yesterday.

Well, there have been eating contests at past
Festivals, maybe there will be one at this one
too. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

I'll set up a mind reading booth (like those psychics on tv) I'll try to make it look like trickery, no big stuff like their darkest secrets (won't even probe there)I might also sell psychic shoehorns for mind wedgies j/k[This message has been edited by Shad (edited 10-11-2001).]

Is that an official rule for all festivals?
I know it is in Pennslyvania, where funnel
cakes are the Official State Dessert...

At this Festival, he would more than likely
win! Unlike many other such setups, where the
games are set up so as to unfairly handicap
the customers, all games at the Grandville
Days Festival are operated in a fair and
even-handed manner. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"> (City officials check

Well, technically, your tummy can't grow any larger than the food that you put in it, and since there's only so much food IN the contest, you shouldn't have a problem with that. (Finally getting full might be a consideration, however...)
