Celebrating all things Peep-a-licious!

Celebrating all things Peep-a-licious!

Peepfest is an annual springtime event held in Chapel Hill’s Southern Village community (discussed on the podcast in episode 95), where a celebration of the Peeps marshmallow confection take a number of different forms, from the classic poetry competition, to a cooking contest, to peep jousting (my favorite!), album art contests, the Peeplympics (including spoon races), a Peepyata and much more.

Great fun was had by all back in April — and while the organizing entity of Market Street Books has closed it’s doors, there are plans in the works for the 2010 edition!

We thought that it would be helpful to better explain this celebration in a video format — hope you enjoy the clip!

Michael, Andy and Michael are excited to welcome special guest Veronica Belmont to this weeks episode. After a rough and rocky restart (check out the end of the show – I guess that’s why it’s Friday the 13th), we dive right into our listener tags, including 3-D patient records, crazy British dress up day, and ways of getting out of all those social networks you’ve been joining for years. We also spend some time reviewing the new Facebook Privacy application, is it ready for prime time?
