    Moey On CNN Homepage

    Decatur Metro | November 2, 2008

    Mindy alerts us that a link to Moey’s segment on CNN Saturday Morning yesterday is a prominent link on CNN.com right now. On top of that, you can buy a CNN t-shirt with the headline “Obama Wins Candy Vote” for $15!

    Its Moey Madness!  All links and coverage can now be seen on candyvote.com.

    The Candy Vote Is In!

    Decatur Metro | November 1, 2008

    The candy has been tallied and though there were some reports of tampering (you people should be ashamed of yourselves!) the results are now posted in a rather hilariously edited video over at candyvote.com.  (I especially like the look on Mindy’s face at the end when Moey announces how many days left ’til the election)

    Great job guys!  Hope you had fun on CNN this morning!

    On another Halloween-related note:  We got far fewer trick-or-treaters this year than last.  :-(   So, needless to say there’s a ton of candy left and no one to give it to.  I think my co-workers are about to put on a few pre-Thanksgiving pounds!

    The best cartoon monologue of all time.

    Happy Halloween!

    Moey Goes Global

    Decatur Metro | October 30, 2008

    Since first being featured on Decatur Metro, human candy voting booth, Moey, has become a Halloween sensation.  First it was a feature spread in AccessAtlanta; now his mom Mindy (a.k.a “altmod”) directs us back to candyvote.com, where there are links to interviews Moey has done with both XM Satellite Radio POTUS ’08 and XM Kids. (He’s one smart cookie!)

    If that wasn’t enough, there’s even talk that 11Alive might cover Moey’s canvasing of Ponce Heights on Halloween night AND a potential segment on CNN Headline News.

    We’ll keep you updated!

    Oh…and let me throw one more humorous, “I’m so clever!” costume suggestion on the pile:  Have a 6 hour line of voters trail along behind him…sort of like those Verizon network commercials.

    Attack of the Trick-or-Treaters

    Decatur Metro | October 9, 2008

    There’s a great question on Oakhurst’s Message Board that’s inspired me to ask a similar question here:

    How many trick-or-treaters come to your door on Halloween? (Don’t forget to mention which neighborhood you live in)

    I ask because many newcomers are caught unaware by the critical mass of children that take to Decatur’s streets with demands of Snickers bars and Reeses on All-Hallows Eve.

    That was us last year when we unknowingly didn’t buy enough candy and my wife was browbeaten by a 12-year-old punk for not turning off all the lights and putting a “No Candy” sign on the door fast enough.

    We’d rather not have a repeat performance of that.
