Den of Geek celebrate Walter White’s birthday with #BaconBad contest
Den of Geek is celebrating the birthday of Walter White, the star of Breaking Bad on Sunday 7 September with a contest that will give the winner an all expenses paid trip to Albuquerque.
The event hosted in a cafe off Tottenham Court Road sees Den of Geek and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment – which was oversubscribed with people within half an hour of its announcement – will see fans dress as their favourite characters and make something out of bacon to celebrate the birthday boy.
In the show, White’s 50th birthday breakfast was a plate of bacon and eggs, with the bacon shaped as ‘50’.
Those attending the events – and fans at home – are invited to make their own celebratory bacon tribute, be it the iconic birthday numbers, a pork pie or a Winnebago. Pop artist Jason Mecier has provided his own ideas to get the public started.
Everyone who uploads their own #BaconBad creation will be entered into a draw to win the trip to Albuquerque with VIP entry to the first ever annual Breaking Bad Fan Fest.
The event comes ahead of the complete limited edition set of Breaking Bad, the Heisenberg Tin, which is now available for pre-order.
