Pigs will be Pigs

The pigs will be making appearances in and around Gainesville throughout the semester. We are very booked due to our stringent Birthday Party schedule, and will be performing on a limited basis. However, if you are aware of any places or situations that would be made much better with 5 pigs, then drop us a line.

Krishna lunch, for example, is a recommendation that will be coming to fruition soon.

Medieval Fair

So we ventured out to the medieval fair this weekend. We almost felt as though the 5 best pigs should have been paid to attend the show. We paid $14 to get in, but instead of enjoying the fair like other patrons, we spent our day looking through the small 2 inch eye holes in our pig masks while taking pictures with every child under the age of 10 who's parents insisted on it. Luckily, we do it for the children. Some other perks were playing games at no cost, discounts on food and thousands of laughs just for being a pink piggy.

We ran into some other fellow pig brothers at the fair who let us take photos with them. As soon as they agreed to pose with us probably about 15-20 other people scrambled to whip out their cameras and capture pictures of "the pigs." I think the cops were a little startled at the popular reaction to the people trying to photograph it. They may have been worried their photo would end up on the front cover of the Gainesville Sun with a headline criticizing them for their lack of civil duty.

Pig Out...

The Birth of the 5 Best Pigs

It all started when the Hoggtown Medieval Fair came to Gainesville. Some Phi Delts had been planning on getting costumes and making Saturday an all day event at the fair. After they donned their sweet new knight costumes to dinner on Friday and informed us that everything at Center Stage was half off, we decided we should go check it out and pick up some stuff for ourselves.

Once at center stage the deals were overwhelming. One man in our party demanded we all buy the full body chicken suits because they were such a bargain. After some debate, we all settled on full body pig costumes with mascot quality heads. From then on it was history.
