    Wasn't sure if I should post this in the bucket or the club forum, but since its WAY off topic, I went here.
    On the 29th, our little town of Reno will be having the nations largest ever food fight. There is going to be an estimated 5,000-7,000 people attending, and 12,500 pounds of tomatoes are going to be dumped on to the Virginia Plaza for everyone to go at.
    Here is the website with more info: La Tomatina: A tomato fight against cancer | Club Cal Neva Blog
    Admission is only a minimum $10 donation to the American Cancer Society.
    It has always been a dream of mine to hit someone as hard as possible directly in the face with a tomato, and now I can finally do it without landing myself in trouble.
    So, who else is coming with me? ;D

    It would be extremely satisfying to pitch a tomato at someone. I wish this was closer, lol.

    I would, but will be coming back from KC MO that day. I have a free flight so I could easily make it otherwise.

    I'll be in Vegas for a week in October though, and I can only take so much NV!!:p
