While the chorus of people singing about how bacon has jumped the shark continues to be deafening, we wonder how many members of the choir still covet a slice or a slab. The unashamed will convene once again at the local edition of the national event known as BaconCamp to create, taste, and judge some gloriously wrong porcine pleasures.

It's still a few weeks off, so in the meantime, enjoy a full slideshow from BaconCamp 2009 and get ready for the meaty madness.
