Hot Dog High School Reunion

Graduating Hot Dog High in late June was a bittersweet endeavor. Though we were all excited to hit the hot dog highways, parting ways with our eleven new franktastic friends was no easy feat. Hugs were exchanged and tears were shed as each different team drove off into the horizon in their respective Wienermobile.

But ’twas a glorious week in October when all twelve Hotdoggers reunited for a brief staff meeting in Madison, Wisconsin! We got to ketchup with our long-lost friends who we hadn’t seen since we separated earlier this summer.

One night during staff meeting, Atta-Dog Adam and I revisited Madison’s own Nitty Gritty restaurant, a charming establishment we were introduced to during Hot Dog High. And hot dog! We stumbled upon a framed photo of Hotdogger Class XXII that was proudly displayed on the wall alongside other photos of Wienermobile drivers throughout the ages.

After a few months on the road, my fellow colleagues and I have grown older and wiser from our cross-country travels. We even developed healthy, sun-kissed tans from our moderate sun exposure. But don’t worry, we all use sunscreen to avoid toasting our buns.

Class XXII in front of the Nitty Gritty, so young and naive.

It was fun and refreshing to ketchup with the rest of Class XXII again; I miss my fellow Hotdoggers already, but it won’t be long before we reunite again. I guess we can use our cell phones, facebook and hotdoggerblog to keep in touch for now.
