Following on from The Muggler's interesting foray into spam poetry today, word reaches us of Austin, Texas' third great festival. Hot on the heels of SXSW and Austin City Limits, comes Spamarama - what looks to be an ongoing series of cultural events in celebration of the potted pork, that have taken place for nearly 30 years. I can't believe we missed this year's event - add it to Google Calendars for 2007 now.

Is it just me, or is calling the children's area the “Pig Pen” just a little weird, when you know it's pig's lips they grind up to make the stuff?
