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!

And for a few more pictures — http://www.marketstreetbooks.com/events/peepfest2009.html

We welcome back Sandy Kearney, who is now the volunteer president of a new organization E426 – The Innovation Corps for America. We have a great time catching up on all your tags… Speaking of Time, the Michaels got to spend some time this week talking with Chris Hazard of Hazardous Software and discuss the coolness of time travel. We also become Outovators (as opposed to Innovators), describing a bunch of potential ideas that people can use in the area of Time Travel. In that spirit we are aggressively leveraging our innovators – we stick them head first into a cranny!
