In case you missed the SPAM-tastic festivities at the Ahmanson this morning, here are some choice photos from today’s SPAMAPALOOZA event. We celebrated Spamalot tickets going onsale with an April Fool’s Day Fair, complete with costumes, wandering minstrels, mimes on unicycles (you read that correctly), cow-toss and killer-rabbit-hoops games, a Spam-can hunt, and a giant foot (you read that one correctly, too).

Emcee Josh Venable from Star 98.7 was our excellent host for the day. Here he is with our knight in spamming armor.

Folks were lined up around the Ahmanson to be the first to get tickets for SPAMALOT as it makes its L.A. premiere.

Hundreds of patrons played carnival games - including a Killer Rabbit toss - for Spamulous prizes. Here is one of the pesky critters mid-flight.

Eager contestants got dolled up for our King of Fools competition, wearing their best and most ridiculous outfits for a cash prize of $350.
