2008 EDFEST SOLD TO CONGLOMERATE; SHAREHOLDERS MEETING TO TAKE PLACE THURSDAY JUNE 19, IN BERKLEY MI.


BERKLEY (AP): On June 19, World-renowned EdFest® is morphing into LANG FEST! The oldest continuous EdFest in the United States (source: Encyclopaedia Brittanica) is transitioning ownership to Lang Jeffries, Jr. owner and administrator of crummyandhardtofind.blogspot.com, (this excellent website!) Rest assured, Ed didn’t do this for the money. “I’m looking to raise general awareness of the festival, and I don’t have the deep pockets or distribution capability of crummyandhardtofind,” stated Ed. EdFesters will have lots of questions about the transition, so Ed has put together this FAQ. If you have any further questions, please leave a comment!

What happened to EdFest?
Nothing! It’s still the best après-work event in the country. All that’s changed is the name! In the future, you will just enjoy it as “LangFest”. In return for his investment, all Lang Jeffries is asking is that we rechristen the event. This is similar to Comerica buying the naming rights to the Tigers’ baseball stadium.

Where is it?
The Blarney Stone Pub, 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 19th. The Blarney Stone is on the west side of Woodward, just north of 11 Mile. About a mile north of I696.

Thursday? What is that all about? I do my laundry on Thursday!
Ed and Lang agreed that summer weekends – particularly Fridays -- are difficult to coordinate what with vacations and all. The place should also be less crowded on Thursday.

So is this just a sh*tty, underhanded way of getting people to get to this friggin' blog site?
Ha Ha.

What if I can’t make it?
With the way Ed’s been coordinating things, the next LangFest won’t be until Fall 2010. So I would move h*ll and high water to get there.

Oh, Ok.

Even though we have no power, I dialed up with the aid of a generator just to get the latest on CAHTF blogspot.com. And, despite the frustration of getting on-line the old-fashioned way, Lange jr. never dissapoints. Count us in for Lange fest. Hot todies (tea with spirits), anyone?

Lady C.,

Wow -- that's above and beyond the call of duty! Loyal-tea like that should not go unrewarded!

100 Kroger Bucks for Lady C!

Perhaps Ed Fest has jumped the shark?

Double M,

That would assume that EdFest was good in the first place.

No excuses this time...you need to be there! Or we'll send the Fonz after you.
