Mark Sanchez, quarterback of the Jets, asked that I relay his regrets that he cannot make the 7th Annual New Jersey Hot Dog Tour this year. He will be in Miami preparing for a game the following day against the Dolphins. Mark might have been able to make it if the Jets were playing at home, but feels it would be better to miss the Tour this year since he got so much flack for eating a hot dog on the sideline during a game last year. He hopes to join us next year and asks that we schedule the Tour on a Saturday before a home game. This we can do, unless of course some members of the Giants (my team) wish to attend next year. Then we will work around their schedule.

Hello John

We will plan accordingly as soon as the 2011 season schedule comes out !!! (:

Benzee

so, i was asked............. the second bus............ seat's open and if so, how many ? 

Since I reserved early, I'd like to be on whatever bus JOHN FOX is going to be narrating on .... (that "1st" bus ?!?)

Hey folks - Coney Island Lou here! After skipping a year, I designed another shirt for this year's tour! Check out the design here: http://www.zazzle.com/new_jersey_hot_dog_tour_2010_tshirt-235906573818095136

As you can see, there many styles and colors of shirts to choose from, at different prices. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE RIGHT NOW - if i can get more than 10 orders, I can get a pretty good bulk discount! If you DO want a shirt this year, I should order them by September 15! I will take personal checks or PayPal, but do not send money yet! PLEASE email me ASAP, so I do know how many shirts will ordered, and what the discount will be! My email is: lds3359@earthlink.net The more shirts I order, the bigger the discount! These are great high quality shirts that last a long time!

Again, let me know ASAP...thanks!

The more people with shirts we have, the cooler it will look - the places we visit truly enjoy seeing this!

Coney Island Lou has outdone himself again
