Feast of Fools or Festifools?

This is Ryan with 300 words (or less) to make your Monday a little less taxing.

Feast of Fools: former name of the Feast of Fun podcast, four time winner of “Best GLBT Podcast by Podcast Awards/Podcast Connect, Inc.”

Festifools: annual Ann Arbor street parade featuring enormous carta pesta (papier-mâché) puppets. It strives to bring students and community volunteers together to create unique public art that is free and accessible to everyone.

If only they were combined and had Mark & Fausto as the grand marshals…

Nevertheless, the 3rd annual Festifools evoked at least 500 people to embellish in outrageous clothing, enjoy 66 degree sunshine, and experience what one parade-goer called “the Mardi Gras of Ann Arbor.”

Check out this video below for a glimpse of the festivities, and the Festifools website for more info.
