Two American songwriters who are an instrumental part of the fabric of American songwriting will be making a special appearance at the King Center for the Performing Arts on May 13th at 8 pm. John Prine and Kris Kristofferson’s history goes back more than 40 years with Kris playing an integral part in Prine landing his first record deal in 1971. They are lifelong friends teaming up for a few special nights of music, and this show is not to be missed. From $34.75 per person (plus applicable ticketing fees). More Info:http://www.mymct.org/

The 2011 Sunshine State Eggfest will again be held on Florida’s beautiful Space Coast. Last year’s fest was a huge success with over 460 Eggheads in attendance. Last year, Big-Un was crowned the first ever, Ceramic Iron Chef. So who will be crowned this year?
The demo classes were such a success, we will bring them back again. If you would like to see what it was like, go to the Eggfest Photo page. For those that missed coming last year, the Sunshine State Eggfest is held at the host hotel on a covered deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
With so much more to do this is truly being an Eggfest and vacation to be remembered.
This years Host Hotel is the Crowne Plaza Resort in Melbourne, Florida.
