BOWERS CHILI PEPPER FESTIVAL 2004

And as if the Bowers Chili Pepper Festival wasn't fun enough, there's even a free concert featuring Hessie's Nasty 9, a local garage polka band, to entertain the masses. One can't get enough of that funky tuba.  Which is a good thing because later on that night I was "playing the tuba" myself due to all the spicy foods I ate.  But even though I ate more than the average human being can eat, there are still some individuals out there who are just impressive with their eating prowess.  I'm talking about the chili pepper eating contestants.  These men and women are my idols.  I wish to be able to associate with them one day.  Perhaps if I train next year I can compete and share the stage with these "winners."

What are the chances that they play Pennsylvania Polka?  In Berks County?  I'd say pretty darn good.

Where's the accordian?  And they call themselves a polka band.  Bah!

Oompah, pah!  Oompah, pah!

I bet it goes out as fast as it goes in.

Ladies and gentlemen.  Start your asses!
