Buddhafest is the Middle Coast Association of Renegade Buddhists, Martian Quilters, Homebrewers and Pickle Canners' 126th Annual Picnic, Orgy, and Family Reunion Potluck.

So what inspired this? Well, I happen to think the title says it all :)

If you've never read alt.buddha.short.fat.guy then you're probably out of your element. Start by looking into El Dupree's Tex-Mex Cantina and Sports Bar. If you really want to dive in headfirst, take a look at the FAQ before reading the newsgroup.

What, your news server doesn't have alt.buddha.short.fat.guy? Even though it's got a silly name, it's not a bogus newsgroup. Ask your sysadmin to add it.

Are you confused yet? Yes? Good. Knowing when you're confused is a sure path to enlightenment. At least that's what I read on the back of a matchbook somewhere... I think...

Buddhafest is a picnic being held at Lytheria, over Labor Day weekend (August 30-September 1) this year of 1997. If you're interested in coming, e-mail me for directions and phone numbers.

Buddhafest is not, I repeat, not a city in Hungary.
