What a weekend! Chicago almost busted at the seams as over 200,000 people came from all parts of the world to hang out, celebrate and enjoy the perfect weather, music and sexy people walking around Lakeview for Northalsted Street Market Days.

Steamworks didn’t disappoint with their fantastic twister inspired booth. With the hunky guys playing the colorfully spotted game, we had to play and certainly enjoyed being on the bottom of a pile of beefcake.

Musician Eric Himan brought out the fans and listeners of the podcast. We had a fun time with so so many Feast of Fools listeners in the audience. We’re glad we were able to introduce so many of you to his hot indie-rock music. It was great to see so many of you cheering Eric on and buying his music after the show!

We have a big angry mob of fabulous guests today! Don’t miss today’s show as Tracy Tyler, Hot Boy Luke, Teddy Jay, Marc Felion and me Fausto Fernós talk about the Market Days madness and take a break from the festivities to hang out at home in the home studio on Saturday night.

As if Market Days wasn’t enough, the Olympic games also started this weekend, the Olympic Olympics, you know the trademarked one, as thousands of athletes from around the world gathered in China to compete. Watching the dazzling opening ceremonies on TV, I was quite taken by all the beautiful athletes marching onto Beijing Birds Nest Stadium floor. I felt like Mae West in her final film “Sextette.” Boys boys! There’s plenty of Fausto to go around.

Marc was bested by a chicken hawk- and not the kind you are probably used to hearing about in the gay bars. You may remember Marc telling the story about how he tragically killed his niece’s baby chicken by accidentally putting a cage on him and effectively crushing the poor thing to death. Well, the little girl just recovered from the horror of losing one of her favorites chicken to witness only a few weeks later another chicken being carried off by a chicken hawk (a real one- not an old gay man who preys on young men). So, he is no longer the bad guy.

I feel a little sad seeing John Edwards getting politically tarred and feathered after the revelations of an affair with a woman hired to produce campaign videos. It was a brief affair that his wife knew about so get over it America.

Many bloggers and tv pundits say it’s not going to hurt Barak Obamas chances, but anything that takes American’s minds off our mortgage crisis, the need for true universal healthcare, and ecological and energy woes could mean another four more of the Bush-Rove-McCain style of leadership.

With McCain getting so much media coverage comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears (two women who are closely tied to the Republican party) is not only distracting the American voter, it negates his promise not to run a sleazy campaign.

Has the debate become like an episode of Seinfeld- “a show about nothing?” Discuss.

It’s okay to lick your fingers- Feast of Fools.
