Five Additional Chances to Qualify for the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

Major League Eating is pleased to announce the addition of five official qualifiers to the 2008 Nathan's Famous International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest Circuit. The events will occur in cities that have never before hosted a Nathan's Famous Qualifier: Chicago and New Orleans (May 17), Pittsburgh (May 24), Kansas City (May 31) and Dallas (June 21).

Registration is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 at 12:00PM Eastern Standard Time. ... Like other Nathan's Famous contests, registration is first come, first served. Standard Nathan's Famous circuit rules will apply. ...

That's something. I hope that Pat wants to win in his house - Chicago. That will allow Rich to deservingly take Vegas. I might trade Tempe for Kansas City - KC is only an eight or nine hour drive so I can forego the airport bullshit.
