Smoky Mountain Fan Fest Day 1-2 Updates

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Saturday evening we went up to the stadium and checked out some of the cars there. There were several General Lee’s and Cop cars there. Most had left for the day and we saw several General Lee’s leaving while we were there.

Sunday was the day I was going to pay to get in. As I got up to the gates I asked what was inside. “Just autograph signings” they said. I didn’t need any autographs so I saved my $20.00 admission and took pictures.

Here is a link to my pictures from Smoky Mountain Fan Fest 2009.

Also notice I put a link up to my Dukes of Hazzard facebook fan page on the right. Add my fan page :)

Smoky Mountain Fan Fest Day 0

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Great day today! Check in wasn’t until 3:00 so we didn’t leave until 9:30 or so to go return a video game. We’re staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Kodak, TN. Let me give them a shout because our room is great and the wifi is awesome! Real quick. Went to Bass Pro shops after dinner to look around. I saw a couple of General Lee’s and Rosco’s car but not as many in past years. This one looks scaled down a bit.

Tomorrow I’m having lunch at the Islamorada Fish Company inside Bass Pro. I’m not hitting the Smoky Mountain Fan Fest until Sunday so not pics or anything until Sunday evening.

Anyway, that’s the update for day 0. Made it to Kodak, TN. Staying right across the road from the stadium for Sunday. Probably going to hit Gatlinburg tomorrow also and get some boiled peanuts (MMM MMM). Want to check me out where I’m at? I try to update my location (when I’m in public) using brightkite.com. Or follow me on twitter I’m on there even more. I know, way too much stuff but I’m a geek ;)

Headed to Smoky Mountain Fan Fest

Yeee haaaaaaa! We’re heading out to the Smoky Mountain Fan Fest tomorrow! Watch my flickr stream for updated pics! The hotel room has wifi so I’ll be able to post.

I only need Ben Jones’ autograph on my original Dukes of Hazzard script. I’m hoping to catch him this weekend. I thought I had it but I don’t. I have met him on many occasions and I just assumed I had it. You know what you get when you assume. Yep, that.

Want to see other pics from past Dukes Fests? Check out my Dukes of Hazzard photo gallery for some pictures.

Got some extra money burning a hole in your pocket? I thought so! I’ll also be hocking these Dukes of Hazzard tattoos. I have bills to pay you know :)
