I hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend.  I'm looking forward to what I hope will be a painless four-day work week.  There's lots happening this upcoming weekend and on the top of that priority list is the Island Creek Oyster Festival.

The Island Creek Oyster Festival is an afternoon-long, sustainable event set to take place on Saturday, September 11th, 2010 from 3 to 11 p.m. on Duxbury Beach. Now in its fifth year, the Festival highlights the best in local oysters, food, music, and beer. As always, the proceeds of the entire event go to the Island Creek Oysters Foundation.


As many as 3,000 attendees will flood Duxbury Beach to hang out under our tents where they'll be able to enjoy live music from two bands and a mid-afternoon DJ. They'll also find 20 of Boston’s most celebrated chefs.

My buddy Eugene, who's been MIA for the last several months, has done the 100 oysters for $100 from Island Creek (here) a couple of times - and said it's awesome.  So if you can't make it to Duxbury, there's always that.
