The fun dispensable candy known as PEZ is undoubtedly one of the geeky wonders of the world. We got super excited when we learned that the world’s only PEZ museum was a mere half hour drive down the road. Justine Ezarik aka iJustine was in town, and it turns out that she’s a huge PEZ fan and collector. Only Steve Jobs or a new Apple product launch could keep her away. iJustine and Irina pay a visit, take a tour and get the history of PEZ from Gary Doss, curator of the Burlingame PEZ Museum of Memorabilia.

A Yelp Holiday Party

December 30, 2006

What is all this Yelping about? Why do Yelpers throw such great parties? What makes Yelpers such a passionate bunch? What the hell is Yelp anyway? All legitimate questions. GETV invades a recent Yelp holiday party at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco in a vain attempt at getting to the bottom of these thorny questions. OK, so the open bar helped to grease the wheels, but the free booze didn’t make the night’s interactions any less interesting. Irina brings you the scoop with interviews of several passionate Yelpers.
