Ring a ding ding! The iPhone is finally here. And not a moment too soon, since my darn cell phone is about to fall apart.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, today Apple Inc. will be answering the call of many iPod enthusiasts by putting out yet another fabulous way for people to listen to our show. The new iPhone not only works as a great cell phone but also functions as web browser, music and movie player. No word yet on weather you can use your own mp3 files as ring-tones, but what the hey, we went ahead and made some anyways. Listen to them here.
Is it me or do the same people who camp out in line for Star Wars camp out in front of the Apple Stores when new stuff is released? I’ll be trekking down to the Michigan Avenue Apple Store to join in the mayhem as people line up to see the new dreamy looking gadget. Who wants to come?
Set your iPhones to STUN!
Since Playboy has come out with it’s somewhat questionably titled iPlayboy multimedia features, we decided to also join the iBandwagon and release our own iFeastofFools iPhone wallpapers! Download the wallpapers here.
Yes, for you lucky lucky owners of the new iPhones, you can download our cute and sexy pics of (me) Fausto Fernós, Marc Felion, Miss Ronnie, Amanda Steinstein and Sal-E and set your new iPhone to STUN. The first person to send us a video of an iPhone playing a FOF Mini Bite, displaying a wallpaper or playing a podcast will win a t-shirt and soon to be released new FOF product! (Don’t ask us what it is, we ain’t saying.)
Boy am I glad to be back in Chicago, or as I like to call it “City of Wind.”
Chicago is well known for it’s strong winds, but the well-known nickname “Windy City” comes from an earlier time when politicians were notorious for talking a lot, in other words blowing out a lot of hot air. Today Chicago is home to many great talk shows like Oprah, Jerry Springer and your personal favorite, Feast of Fools. Must be something in the water.
Last week I traveled down to Austin to rendezvous with my fabulous sister Beatriz, my baby-girl Victoria and my mom Patricia. In case you just started listening, mom suffered a stroke when she went into the hospital for hip surgery last month. But being a Fernós, she’s one tough cookie that does not crumble easily. So mom’s making a comeback and is footloose and fancy free.
Hello God are you there? It’s me Feast of Fools.

June 29, 2007 at 10:58Welcome home, Fausto! Good to hear you guys “live” again!!!
“The podcast that is over 2 years old and does NOT need a governess” — one of the best intro lines ever.
(for the record, I enjoyed the “Like an angel coming in your ears” one… despite the protestations of the other guests that day!)

June 29, 2007 at 12:52Well Fausto, you might be devastated to read this, but all the IKEAs in Europe, well at least the ones in Germany, which I know, are built like the one in Austin, TX. They’ve two storeys with a restaurant in the 2nd, but the rest is a maze nonetheless. Of course when you know where stuff is at your favourite IKEA you can take a short cut once in a while. I#ve never heard of an IKEA built like a department store.
Fausto Fernós says:
June 29, 2007 at 14:39Oh hell no! The Chicago store is such a magnificent work of art and interior architecture. So many good dept. stores in Europe are structured like that. What gives?
Alec says:
June 29, 2007 at 14:47The Ikea in Massachusetts and the one in WA state are also the lab rat model. One gets accustomed. I think they think it’s conducive to purchasing.
Great show! Happy you’re back and that Doña Patricia is doing well.
Steve says:
June 29, 2007 at 20:38Marc and Fausto,
Anytime, and I do mean anytime, you have something that needs assembly CALL ME!
I love putting things together. I seriously buy furniture that I don’t have room for just to put it together.
I really do mean it, I want you to call me if you need something assembled. I’m a short train ride away and I know you have my number Fausto.
Clay says:
June 29, 2007 at 22:25Glad to see you guys back! I’m almost running out of old shows that work. You really gotta get your archive up to speed.
When I hear your voices, it’s like a shot of glorious loveliness encapsulating my lobes.
Lots of Love
-Clay

July 1, 2007 at 08:24Welcome back, Fausto! We’ve all missed hearing new episodes from you guys. It is great to hear the Patricia is doing well and I am so glad you took care of her with a good chair and desk for her computer. It sounds like her setup was less than ideal. And I’m so sorry to hear about your sad Ikea experience. That really is a shame since Ikea is so great!
I had an idea for Marc’s handout at Pride sometime. Injecting tampons with some water dyed with red food coloring would really freak people out don’t you think? I would love to watch that happening. It would make a great “Keeping It Real” episode! Haha. Love you guys.
Zara says:
July 1, 2007 at 15:40I’m sure it will Fausto! The same way that one day using a keyboard and mouse will all be a distant memory, as technology develops, so wll this website.

July 1, 2007 at 19:43Great show guys! Welcome back Fausto, glad to hear all is going well in Texas! BTW: Our Ikea is the maze type too. Still have great meatballs though!

July 2, 2007 at 16:10Hey guys. Great to see you fresh and new again. Yay! And really happy to hear Patricia is doing well.
I used to be a big Rocky Horror freak when I lived in Pittsburgh in the early 90’s. I must say that you are off the mark on Shock Treatment. It’s not about health care exactly. It actually is a satire about reality television. Brad and Janet (played by different actors) are living in Denton, which has become a giant TV studio, and their lives have become reality TV shows. Now, keep in mind, this was the 80’s and years before reality TV was, well, a reality. Watching it with this in mind it becomes quite the entertaining little film. And the songs are cool. It’s nowhere near Rocky Horror but can be a lot of fun if you lower your expectations.
Fausto Fernós says:
July 2, 2007 at 20:47It’s about health care damnit! It’s a precursor to Michael Moore’s “Sicko.”
Aaron C. says:
July 3, 2007 at 13:08Fun Fact:
I’m 98% sure it was PupDon’s copy of Shock Treatment that I saw for the 1st time back in the 90’s. I’m 100% sure that he made me the copy of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls that sits proudly on my shelf! Thanks PuppyD! I’m with Fausto though, it’s a real klinker! (Especially in comparison to RHPS.)

July 18, 2007 at 16:08To shift the focus away from our human rights for a moment, and to possibly explain why African Americans might be more careful about what they accept for free, let’s look at Tuskegee.

Joost, are you Dutch? If so, then yes, twitter suicide would not be interesting to you since assisted suicide is so common in the Netherlands.
