Stay Classy Portland! The BurgundyFest is the good-times party of your dreams. As you read this, it probably feels too good to be true, because an opportunity like this only comes along only once in a lifetime. Put simply, the BurgundyFest is no joke, even though you will find it to be fun, funny and orgasm inducing! This is a unique event themed and programmed around all things Anchorman!
¬Â¢If you ever saw the movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and liked it you will LOVE this event.
¬Â¢If you never saw the movie, but like to laugh and have a good time, you will LOVE this event.
¬Â¢If you hated this movie but consider yourself open to a unique evening that at the very least will provide an endless stream of water cooler talk, you will LOVE this event.
What you will find when you get there:
Polyester-clad party goers sipping on ice cold libations and shaking what they got to songs like Ride Captain Ride and Bill Withers’ Use Me. DJ Navigator will be armed to the teeth with Anchorman inspired tunes and will also scratch in some clips from the movie on the monstrous projector screen above the stage. Ah, but that is just the tip of the iceberg True Believers, here is what else we have on tap:
¬Â¢ Irreverent News Readaroke (You will read off the teleprompter to some of the wackiest letters arranged into words, we double dog dare you not to laugh).
¬Â¢ The Baxter Punt (Kick our stuffed Baxter Dog through the goal enough times to claim the Baxter Punt Crown)
¬Â¢ The BurgundyFest Costume contest, where prizes are awarded to the best character costumes and to the most creative dressers in the room.
¬Â¢ Anchorman Trivia (Everyone will have the chance to test their Anchorman IQ and win a smile inducing prize for proving their mental domination over the populous.)
¬Â¢ The Ultimate Jazz Flute Solo performed by woodwind virtuoso Daniel Bailey.
¬Â¢ The Afternoon Delight singers will disarm and hypnotize the crowd with their harmonious weapons of mass distraction.
¬Â¢ A prom style photo booth where you can create indisputable proof of the night that changed your dreary existence into a life to remember.
¬Â¢ Keepsakes, sponsor gifts, fine leather bound books, food, drinks, musky colognes, inspiring conversation and much much more.

As I sit here in my rich, Mahogany scented library I cannot think of anything I would rather do on Saturday than to attend Ron-Con. I will even wear a lil of the old Sex Panther.

Nothing says a good time like staches and suites…with the smell of big foot’s dick in the air…and the sweet sweet sound of jazz flute that only the best of fairy boys can produce. THAT may friend, is why I would like to go to Burgundy Fest.
August 23, 2011 at 23:39
I want to go because, you may not know this but, i’m kind of a big deal!!
And also I want an excuse to wear a mustache.
August 23, 2011 at 23:53
My family and I have watched and re-watched Anchorman way more often than I care to count. We know the movie line by line, in fact it’s scary when outsiders come over and watch with us lol. We have been wanting to buy tickets to the RonCon but money is very tight right now. Please enter us in the ticket giveaway :)
August 24, 2011 at 00:32
Mr. Burgundy, you have a massive erection! ;)
August 24, 2011 at 00:34
Wait what? What what’s ur name? Lanolin? La lanonlin like sheeps wool? Well where to begin? Well I don’t know how to tell u this but I’m kind of a big deal, people know me, I have many leather bound books that smell of rich mahogony, I – I don’t know where I was going with that all I know is have watched anchorman over 100 t
imes since it first came out when I was 19 or 20 and it has been a big part of my life and vocabulary since then. When I was in the Marine Corps we quoted it ALL THE TIME! I would love more than anything to take ur mother Dorothy Mantooth to the event! And NEVER CALL HER AGAIN!
August 24, 2011 at 00:37
Look at thatrainbow! Do me on it!
August 24, 2011 at 00:47
I quote something from this movie often; I went to a Halloween party where four guys were dressed (well!) as the Anchormen, if you will; I genuinely laugh my ass off every time I watch this movie :). This is cooler than a unicorn flying over a rainbow!
August 24, 2011 at 01:23
If you don’t give me the tickets I will take your mother out to a fine seafood dinner and never call her again.
#DorothyMantoothisaSaint!
Plus I would slap some barbecue sauce on there! Wooooweee!
August 24, 2011 at 07:01
I would like to take Mr. Burgundy’s advice and stay classy by winning tickets & giving them to my husband and his brother while I stay home with the kids & Baxter.
August 24, 2011 at 09:35

Sweet Lincoln’s mullet! I really want to go to this. Please send me free tickets!
August 24, 2011 at 20:26
I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE COMMENTING ABOUT!
August 25, 2011 at 18:13
My friend is town this night, visiting from whore island of course.
August 26, 2011 at 00:35
I want to go to the RonCon because I am absolutely obsessed with Anchorman. I can recite the movie line by line from beginning to end. Plus, I’ve been practicing my non-regional diction. And I’m still mad at Ne-Yo for stealing a line from the movie and turning it into a song without due credit and will challenge him to a duel! But absolutely no touching of the hair or face. Then we can spell redemption R-O-N!
Ron Burgundy: I wanna say something. I’m gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don’t, send it right back. I want to be on you.
Ne-Yo lyric: I said excuse me little mama if I may / Take this thought and send it your way / And if you don’t like that, then send it right back / But I just gotta say / I wanna be on you
August 26, 2011 at 06:43
trying to stay classy – pleeese pick me!
August 26, 2011 at 07:21
Anchors away for a laugh riot evening that we’d love to attend.
August 26, 2011 at 09:31
If I don’t get these free tickets so help me god I will show up dressed as a turd covered in burnt hair *AND* wearing a used diaper filled with indian food.
August 26, 2011 at 11:18
It’s so hot out in Portland! Milk was a BAD choice! but a great choice would be to give me free tix.
August 26, 2011 at 21:51
Well I don’t know how to tell u this but, I’m kind of a big deal, people know me….if I go I will be bringing Tits mcgee, a SEXY PIRATE HOOKER(me, tall blonde, with breasts, exquisite breasts! Also a breath taking hiney;-)), and Ling won the panda. I will point to my boobies and have clever banter all night long! I want to punt baxter so bad! I quote anchorman EVERY SINGLE DAY OFF MY LIFE! I LOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEE IT! I want to ride a unicorn and hear yazz flute! I have been yo- yogging for weeks and sculpting my guns at the office in preparation for the best event of the year, I don’t know if you heard me but I did more than a thousand. More than anything I WANNA BE ON YOU!! SOOO please pick me so me and my friends can come and finally be in a place where people understand my vocabulary and make the pleats pop and send the men back to the pants store.
