The next month and a half is going to bring a lot of action in competitive eating. This should be an active time for me as well. On Thursday, March 16 I will be in Boston again competiting in the Corned Beef and Cabbage championship in honor of St. Patrick's day on the 17th. Two days later on Saturday, March 18 I will take another trip to Texas on South Padre Island to compete in a Huevos Rancheros contest surrounded by Spring Break craziness.
April is when things start to heat up and get important for the summer. The IFOCE and Nathan's has annonced the 2006 Nanthan's hot dog contest qualifier circuit. Here are the locations and the dates of the qualifiers:
April 15 — Florida Panthers, Sunrise, FL
May 18 — New York, New York Casino, Las Vegas, NV
May 20 — Nathan’s, E. Hartford, CT
May 27 — Independence Mall, Philadelphia, PA
June 4 — Arizona Mills Mall, Tempe, AZ
June 10 — MacArthur Center Mall, Norfolk, VA

June 24 — Century Theaters, San Francisco, CA
June 24 — Long Island Ducks Stadium, Central Islip, NY
June 24 — Zoo Atlanta , Atlanta, GAJune 27 — Civil Service, South Street Seaport, NY
Only the winner of each qualifier will earn a spot in the coveted Nathan's Famous Hot Dog eating contest on the 4th of July. I don't want to give it away yet, which contests I will be at, but I have signed up for 3 contests (the max number allowed) with the hopes of fulfilling my goal for the year to compete in the biggest eating contest in the world!

Eric, I was browsing the internet when I realized that Marian and I haven't heard how you did in Texas. We were glad to see that you placed second, we know for sure that you could have won that one. Any way, good luck on your Nathans qualifiers and let us know where you will be so we can come to support. Later, Anthony. Marian says HI.
See you in Texas, it should be fun!!!
Hey Erik,
Wow, I was shocked and certainly intrigued when Phil and Ali told me about your new endeavor...
It seems crazy, but you seem to be very dedicated.
Good Luck getting to Nathan's.
