as always, JMHO:
i would think a fest would be too much work for anyone to get together. i mean, why bother? most gringos, expats, & tourists eat it first week of open season anyway. just call that whole week lobsterfest (OMG, sounds like a Red Lobster ad) anyway, and we will still eat it; yet no one has to make any effort. taa-daa. (can u tell i am lazy by nature??)
