Burning Ham 2 - "White Trash Wonderland".

There is something very refreshing about this announcement: "Tired of benefit parties & fundraisers? Tired of the same old shit? Tired cuz you didn't get enough sleep last night? - Then we invite you to PARTY WITHOUT PURPOSE!!!"

This is exactly how I feel. I guess, I will go:

On Saturday, August 31... while thousands of revelers are in the middle of the Nevada Desert for the sole purpose of burning a 50 foot tall wooden man... We invite you to gather in the slums of Seattle... to BURN a nice big delicious juicy HAM!!! That's right... the 2nd annual BURNING HAM festival has arrived. Join us for a most ridiculous night you will surely never forget (until the next morning). Make a mockery of your entire life & everyone around you!
