iLoveMikeLitt is a persistent group, however, and the email for their latest stunt made it past the spam filters, so I present to you a wild, crazy, VEGAN alternative to the meat-heavy 4th of July celebrations you’re likely being invited to right about now: The Final BUNtier, the 4th annual Veggie Hot Dog Eating Contest!

This only-in-Austin event goes down on the 4th of July (i.e. this Sunday) from 1 to 4 pm at the Tiniest Bar in Texas (817 W. 5th Street). The competition itself starts at 2 pm, and basically the idea is that while hipsters in New York City are slurping back meat hot dogs, their Austin hippie counterparts will be sucking down veggie dogs. Personally, I’m a fan of meaty dogs, but I’m down with this cheeky NYC-bashing, and if you’re sick of BBQ all up in this motha’, then perhaps you should check their shindig out!

For more deets, see iLoveMikeLitt’s website. I promise, there are no dildos or wangs or lady bits of any kind over there, despite the funky name.
