Gothamist headed to Central Park to see the Easter activities, and we decided to hang out where there was the longest line of children dragging their tired parents: The Peeps Fun Bus. The most benevolent marshmallow candy (this side of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man) visited NYC today and will also be there tomorrow, according to the website. People go through the Peeps Fun Bus (to visit Peepsville) and then come out for some Peeps crafts.
There was coloring in pictures of Peeps.
As well as decorating peeps.
Gothamist asked a child (and her mom) if we could take a picture of her Peeps. We also asked how long they waited on line. The mother, perhaps unwilling to admit standing on line for a ridiculous amount of time, assured us, "The line moves fast."
It takes a lot of Peeps to keep the people happy.
A dog guarded the Peeps crafts supplies: Peeps and pipe cleaners. Yes, you too can have some Peeps fun (think about your next birthday party!) with some tongue depressers, markers, pipe cleaners, and Peeps.
There was also a hot Peeps VW. Gothamist wonders who gets to drive it - the Peeps President?
And if Gothamist ever has a bus - or wallpaper in our apartment - we want this to cover the sides.

my Dad puts his Peeps in the freezer
The only way to co-exist with Peeps is to treat them the same way you should treat a common escalator. With fear and respect.
Is there anything Brody hasn't taught me?
your picture is flawed!! its missing about 6376327632 screaming kids in the background, i waited for an hour to stick a couple of pipe cleaners in a damn peep.
Hmmm. Scrolling down today's entries, am I the only one who noticed the rather disturbing similarity between Kathy the Beluga Whale (RIP) and the giant Peep on top of the Peep Bus? :P
Gothamist said: "pretty much the 'we' does stand for a group of people."
While I am still a huge fan of the site, I must say I don't think Gothamist is really a "we" after all. Now, maybe for this post, the group of you decided to go to Central Park (e.g. "we decided to hang out where there was...") But what about this post:
"When Gothamist was in college, a young law student was killed by her ex-boyfriend and his current (allegedly jealous) girlfriend, which prompted our self-defense instructor to say, 'NEVER let your ex back into your apartment...'"
Were you all in the same college, having the same self-defense instructor?
Or this:
"When Gothamist was wee, there was nothing we liked better than learning about New York."
Or this. Here Gothamist is an it...
"Gothamist was glad that IT wasn't asked to speak, as the primary motive for going was to see Courtney, who is working on Dean's national campaign."
Anyway, this will be my last post on this topic.... I can live with the confusion over who Gothamist is.
P.S. I've never had a marshmallow peep, but they certainly seem friendly -- almost ... too friendly ...
Gothamist fan, I'm glad you're not going to worry about the innerworkings of Gothamist's conceit, because you'll just remain confused. But for the record, Jake, Hilton, and I did go to college together. We hang out together a lot too. It's as simple (or not!) as that.
I am surprised the Diabetes Mobile wasn't about two car lengths behind . . .
No, but HealthFirst (insurance provider) had buses all over, trying to get people to sign up!
