It begins tomorrow. If I can get a cell signal or find some wifi, I will post pictures and stuff live from the event. I will be at the "Return of the Killer Shrews" red carpet premiere on Friday night. And of course at the main event on Saturday and Sunday. John Schnieder, Tom Wopat, Ben Jones, Catherine Bach, James Best, Sonny Shroyer, and Rick Hurst will all be there. It is rare to get them all at a single event. Countless General Lees and Hazzard vehicles, Jerry "The King" "Lawler, Sleepy LeBeef, BMX, Bluegrass... all kinds of fun to be had. I hope to see you there. If you can't make it, I'll cover it all right here.
I wonder why it is in Virginia when the show is based in Georgia...
ReplyDeleteBecause one of the cast members lives close. Its a symbolic homecoming because the cast is getting back together where the "Fests" all began in Sperryville.
DeleteWell, I'm totally not kidding here, I actually tried to talk the wife into letting me book a flight and a hotel room and fly out there today, but I lost that fight. It was too last minute, but I just found out that I'm basically on vacation for the next two weeks before my new job starts. I thought it would be cool to pack a bag and finally meet all of my Dukes heroes.
ReplyDeleteNot meant to be, I suppose.
Have fun out there and keep us posted!
Boss Hogg was my favorite "character"...I had to wait in line for over Two Hours to meet him at a car show...his "Foam Fat-Suit" kept sliding down...:)
ReplyDeleteBeing from the County upon which the show was based I would be Honored to join...
