Cicada Eating Contest Saturday, 6/11

[asundstrom]

Just a heads up, I think it's Lulu's (?) at 22nd and M, by Blackie's - they've had a banner up for a while which advertises a June 11 event featuring cicadas cooked by the chef at Blackie's, as well as a cicada eating contest. So if you're disappointed by their exclusion from the Farenheit menu, this might be something to try.

Are there any cicadas left?

Those of us old enough to remember R. Crumb's undergound comic book "Mr. Natural" will recall his favorite epithet:

EAT BUG ! !

We've still got a full chorus going on in the back yard - the outer NoVA cicadas hit at least a week later than MD/DC.

They're still loud and proud in MD. I heard them as we drove to the Beltway this past weekend.

The more important question Jenny is

Are YOU going to enter the contest?

It sounds right down your alley!

If there is anything I can teach the EG community, its never, EVER go to Lulus. Even if they give away free $20s.....

You're a wise man, DCMark. I knew I liked you.
