Top Ten Azalea Festival to-do's

This is a big deal around these parts, whether you're an Azalea Fest virgin, or seasoned vet- try some of these to spice up the fun!
1. Play I-Spy an Azalea-belle.
2. Eat a funnel cake...while standing on one foot facing the Cape Fear River
3. Board a pirate ship- one has docked my friends
4. Play pieces of eight
5. Take the Garden Tour and freak the hosts out by saying, "I thought you should know there is a little bit of poison ivy coming up near the azaleas..."
6. Buy a condo downtown- we all need a second home.
7. In a loud voice say, "Isn't that the Azalea Queen?" and laugh at all the people that turn around.
8. Say, we're with the band and see if you get a free cup a joe at my favorite PCJ on Front St.
9. Skip on the riverwalk (If you can do this from Brooks building to Chandler's wharf, my hat is off to you, yes I will be wearing a hat- it's Azalea Fest punks!)
10. Tour Thalian Hall which is totally haunted. Hide and say Whoooooooo to the other guests!

XXOO- Come see me downtown and I will give you a free cupcake coupon to Coastal Cupcakes on Princess St. For realio- I'll be at 105 Grace St., catch me if you can.
