Enter TODAY if You Want to Compete in the O. Henry Pun-OffHello, pun intensive fans. This isn't really an episode of pun intensive, so much as an announcement of something. Pretty cool.[00:00:16] This podcast, pun intensive has teamed up with Austin's O. Henry Museum and Brush Square Museums Foundation, as well as the City of Austin's Parks and Rec Department and Fantastic Magic Camp to produce part two of the O. Henry Pun-Off 2020 Special Edition edition.[00:00:36] Now I want to be clear: Once life gets back to relative normal, everyone fully expects the festival atmosphere of the Mother's Day Weekend event everyone has come to know and love as the O Henry Pun-Off to resume in its original format live and in Austin. But for now, the city has asked us to produce a virtual, but live Punslingers contest. And it's been split up into two distinct events based on the two contests regularly seen at The O Henry Pun-Off.[00:01:04] The Punniest of Show event has come and gone, but you can still watch it at punoff2020.com. [00:01:10] Congrats, by the way, to all of the contestants in the Pun-Off 2020's Punniest of Show competitions, including the top three placing winners. Jonah Spear, Gabriela Pedroza, and Sarah Bennett.[00:01:23] But . . . On November 21st . . . Less than three weeks from today . . . The O. Henry Pun-Off will be putting on a punslingers event entitled . . . and take a deep breath here . . . [00:01:35] "The O Henry Museum Pun-Off World Championships Punslingers Competition: Online Edition."[00:01:42] So head on over to punintensive.com to get all the info you need to attend the live event. But for you guys I also want you to go to punintensive.com so that you can enter the contest. [00:01:56] We already know that there be more people who want to enter than there will be space for, so as has been the case for several years, with the exception of some past years' winners who've already officially qualified to enter the 2020 competition, contestants will be selected by lottery. So get your name into that lottery by going to punintensive.com and clicking the "how to enter " link. Hopefully your name will be drawn.[00:02:23] We will see you soon with another full length episode and probably one or two reminders. Before then, but we definitely hope to see you on November 21st.[00:02:34]
