Keeping Austin Weird -- Today was the 27th Annual Spamarama, Austin's celebration of the famous canned meat. This is one of the coolest festivals is Austin (and I'm sad we didn't get to attend this year). Of course there is music and vendors, but Spamarama includes a Spam cook-off, the Spamalympics, a Spam eating contest, and a Spam-toss. Doug, who will only eat Spam when he loses a bet and is forced to, wants to be in the Spam cook-off some day. BTW, all the money raised at Spamarama goes to charity - so you can eat potted meat for a good cause.
